Enterprise License Agreement in the form already approved by the Legal

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The current three-year Small Local Government Enterprise License Agreement is
set to expire November 30, 2016. A new three-year Small Local Government
Enterprise License Agreement, which would be in effect from December 1, 2016
until November 30, 2019, has been proposed by the software vendor (esri
Canada).
The vendor had originally proposed a $6,000 (plus tax) per year increase, which
is the standard pricing for municipalities with a population between 50,000 and
taff were able to
negotiate a stepped pricing structure, unique to the City of Saint John, which
would see the first year pricing remain at the current rate with the second year
and third years increasing by only $3,000 (plus tax) each. This represents a total
savings for the City of $9s original
proposed licensing fee.

REPORT
BACKGROUND
WSP Canada Inc. has investigated the turning movement for tractor trailers on
the existing access road and have concluded that tractor trailer vehicle turning
movements can not be supported as shown on the attached plan.
As such the approved 2013 Utility Fund Capital Program included a project for
the Lancaster Wastewater Treatment Facility Entrance Road Alteration. The
proposed work includes the installation of a new access road as part of the
Lancaster Wastewater Treatment Facility Entrance Road Alteration project,
located near the Lancaster Wastewater Treatment Facility.
PURPOSE
The purpose of the Lancaster Wastewater Treatment Facility Entrance Road
Alteration project is to realign the entrance to the facility, greatly improving
access, something that is necessary in order to continue performing
maintenance at this critical facility. By modifying the entrance, as shown on the
attached plan, this will allow Saint John Water to meet its operational needs at
the treatment facility by providing the appropriate vehicle and equipment
turning movements.
The purpose of this report is to recommend that the City of Saint John enter into
a Consent Agreement with Maritimes & Northeast Pipeline Limited Partnership,
subject to the terms and conditions in the attached Agreement, for the purposes
of facilitating the entrance road alteration.

SERVICE AND FINANCIAL OUTCOMES
The approved 2016 General Fund Program includes a project (Capital No. 2016-
15, Honeysuckle Drainage Basin Renewal of Culvert #5 & Removal of Culvert #6)
which involves the removal of the existing access road (culvert) at the Lancaster
Wastewater Treatment Facility. The cost to replace the existing culvert is
approximately $100,000 and instead of replacing the existing culvert (to add
drainage capacity) a new entrance access will be constructed that will meet Saint
operational needs. The overall project cost to the new access is
estimated to be approximately $100,000.
- 3 -
There is no cost for the City to enter into the aforementioned Consent
Agreement. A future recommendation will be brought to Council for the award
of the actual construction work associated with the Lancaster Wastewater
Treatment Facility Entrance Road Alteration project.
INPUT FROM OTHER SERVCE AREAS AND STAKEHOLDERS

AUTHORIZATION

Paul Wilson/Brian Irving Kevin Fudge Jeff Trail
RECOMMENDATION
1. Resolved that the City of Saint John give to 511103 N.B. Ltd. a Licence
permitting access to City land upon the terms and conditions set out in
the Licence attached to M&C 2016-194; and
2. That the Mayor and Common Clerk be authorized to execute the
necessary documents.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Theodose Faltsetas has operated a boat tour business in the Saint John Harbour
and Reversing Falls area since 2002. He, through his company, uses a portion of
the City lands below the former Boaz restaurant (PID # 55217668) as pedestrian
access for his customers to and from Falls View Drive and his floating wharf
situated on Federal land (water lot) abutting City lands. The Licence document
attached to this report will allow Mr. Faltsetas to continue this use of City land
for the 2016 tourist season.
PREVIOUS RESOLUTION
1. That Common Council grant to 056975 N.B. Ltd. a non-exclusive License
upon the terms and conditions set forth in the document attached to
M&C 2012-97, and further,
2. That the Mayor and Common Clerk be authorized to sign all necessary
documentation.

REPORT
Theodose Faltsetas began operating a boat tour business based from a portion
of the Reversing Falls site in 2002. At that time he also operated the Reversing
Falls Restaurant and the satellite restaǒƩğƓƷ ƷŷĻƓ ƉƓƚǞƓ ğƭ ƷŷĻ {ƦƌźƷ wƚĭƉ /ğŅĽ͵
By 2012 Mr. Faltsetas no longer operated the two restaurants but did continue
to operate his boat tour business from a portion of the site.
He has a floating wharf moored on Federal land (water lot) abutting the City
owned uplands at the Reversing Falls site. location and the
pedestrian trails through the City land can be seen on the plan attached to the
proposed licence document.
Boat tour passengers move to and from Falls View Drive along a system of paths
and stairways. Recent inspections revealed that some of the stairways do not
meet code, and much of the fencing along the top of the shoreline cliffs had
either fallen down or were in need of extensive repair. Council recently approved
a project that is now complete, that resulted in safer pedestrian passage from
Falls View Drive down to the observation deck near the south
side of the Reversing Falls Bridge. There are two paths that branch off in a
southerly direction from the path to the aforementioned observation deck.
These two paths are now closed off at their north extremities to prevent tourists
from wandering towards the boat tour wharf, as the remaining cliff-side does
not have proper fencing to prevent people and/or pets from accidently falling
into the river. The path nearest to the river is blocked off with fencing, whereas
the second path is controlled with a lockable gate.
Mr. Faltsetas understands the safety issues and the proposed Licence stipulates
that only the gated path can be used in conjunction with his boat tour business.
When this path is not in use by boat tour customers the gate is required to be
locked shut. Furthermore, Mr. Faltsetas is obliged to construct & maintain a
barrier to obstruct people from wandering off from the permitted path down
any alternate path that leads toward the cliff/shoreline.
The proposed Licence also requires that the boat tour operator possess all
permits & licences required by the Federal and Provincial governments, the usual
insurance coverage protecting the City from any liability, and that he keep the
land neat & clean.
The proposed Licence is for the 2016 tourist season only.
- 3 -
The proposed Licence fee is $2,000.00 (+ HST). This is the same fee as the Zip
Line operator pays for his Licence to operate on City land on the East side of the
Reversing Falls.
The boat tour tickets are sold on board the boat on non-cruise ship days, by
Aquila Tours on cruise ship days, and also .
Tour boat passengers are picked up and dropped off as follows:
A) At the Reversing Falls location on non-cruise ship days, and
B) At Market Slip wharf (Uptown) on cruise ship days.
INPUT FROM OTHER SERVICE AREAS AND STAKEHOLDERS
A number of departments were asked for feedback and input during the
preparation of this report and proposed Licence Agreement document, including
the , Risk Management, Facilities, ,
and Destination Marketing. Destination Marketing has an interest in the
continued operation of the boat tour business as it provides a different
perspective to the Saint John experience for tourists, and is quite popular.

RECOMMENDATION
1. That The City of Saint John acquire from Ellerdale Investments Ltd.:
(a) Freehold interest in a 1.45 hectare +/- portion of PID # 55152292, and,
(b) Easements for Collection and Drainage of Surface/Storm Waters and
for Municipal Services on, over, in, through, within and under portions
of lands bearing PIDs # 55152292 and 55192124,
for $48,000 (+ HST if applicable) upon the terms and conditions
contained in the Agreement of Purchase and Sale attached to M&C
2016 - 196; and
2. That the Mayor and Common Clerk be authorized to execute any
document(s) necessary to finalize this transaction.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
There is an existing storm water drainage channel in Westgate Park that transects
PID # 55152292 and other parcels of land. Over time this channel has silted and
overgrown resulting in diminished flow capacity, and therefore needs to be dug
out in order to improve drainage in this area. The owner of PID # 55152292 is
willing to sell a 1.45 hectare +/- portion of this land to the City together with a 20
metre wide easement through another portion of PID # 55152292 and a portion of
PID # 55192124, allowing the required work to be done; now and in the future.
Staff have, subject to Common Council approval, negotiated an agreement with
Ellerdale Investments Ltd. that would result in the City acquiring the land and
easement rights described above for the price of $48,000 (+ HST if applicable).

This price represents fair market value. A copy of the agreement document is
attached to this report.
Funding is approved in the 2016 General Fund Capital Program Storm Category
for storm sewer improvements in the Westgate Park Drainage Basin.

STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT
This report aligns with the following Council Priorities:
1) Citizen Focused Service Delivery
2) Sustainable Infrastructure
3) Economic Health
4) Community of Choice
REPORT
The existing storm water drainage channel that transects PID # 55152292 and
other parcels of land in Westgate Park has silted and overgrown resulting in
diminished flow capacity. It needs to be dug out in order to improve drainage in
this area.
In 2015 the City acquired a 20 metre wide easement through another portion of
this property for storm water management purposes. Combined, these two
easements diminish much of the development potential of this property, as both
drainage channels transect eight of the fifteen proposed residential building lots
that the City had previously approved for this landholding many years ago.
A number of alternate routings have been analyzed by Staff and the landowner in
order to come up with a configuration that ba
is reflected in and Sale attached to
this report.
The developer will salvage five building lots along Trevi Ave., and the City will
acquire the 1.45 hectare portion of the property that has been compromised by the
two drainage channels. The value of a serviced residential lot on a developed
street in the immediate area is, conservatively, in the $18,000 range. The value of
a residential lot enjoying development approval but without a street and
infrastructure in place is, conservatively, in the $7,000 range.
Therefore, the value of the eight lots that the drainage improvements have
severely compromised total in the range of $56,000. The landowner is willing to
sell the compromised land to the City for $48,000, bearing in mind that the City
had already paid $1,350 for the easement acquired in 2015.
- 3 -
The purchase of this land also has three ancillary long term strategic benefits:
A) It would consolidate with six other City owned parcels scattered within the
area but all abutting the subject property.
B) It would act as additional buffer/insulation to the well-field lands that the
City recently purchased from the Province as a potable water source.
C) It would be available should future additional storm drainage capacity be
required in this neighborhood.
The 20 metre wide easement that is being acquired by the City in this agreement
is to join the end of the currently developed portion of Trevi Ave. to the freehold
land that the City is acquiring in this same agreement. When the landowner is
ready to develop the five salvaged lots, Trevi Ave. will be extended in lieu of it,
and the developer will install the pipes beneath said street extension at its cost.
SERVICE AND FINANCIAL OUTCOMES
Acquisition of this real estate will enable the improvement of the storm water
drainage system in Westgate Park, which in turn:
i) will reduce the risk of intermittent flooding suffered by the residents of
this area; and
ii) could promote further residential development in the area, resulting in
increased tax base for the City.
The purchase of this land will be financed from the approved Westgate Park
Drainage Basin Property Acquisition project budget of $110,000 in the 2016
General Fund Capital Program. This project is part of the overall Westgate Park
Drainage Basin Plan that has previous Council approval.

RECOMMENDATION
RESOLVED that the Mayor and Common Clerk be authorized to execute contracts
with Managed Health Care Services Inc. (MHCSI), AIG and with Royal and Sun
Alliance Insurance Company of Canada in the form attached to the M&C No.
2016-200 and dated July 25, 2016.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Our contract with MHCSI, our benefit provider for prescription drugs was up for
renewal on May 1, 2016. There have been some minor changes to the contract
as a result of a recent partnership between MHCSI andMedavie Blue Cross. This
partnership has offered some additional services to our plan members including
online claim submission and local offices for reimbursement of claims. Primary
changes include a change in the billing cycle from bi-monthly to a monthly cycle
which requires an additional $100,000 to be held in trust to cover the costs of
premiums for the longer period. Through MHCSI we have also purchased Stop
Loss Insurance for prescription drugs with a cap of $50,000 through Royal & Sun
Alliance Insurance Company of Canada (RSA). We are recommending continuing
with this Stop Loss Insurance coverage.
Our contract with AIG Insurance, our benefit provider for Group Emergency Out
of Province Insurance was up for renewal on April 1, 2015 and therefore requires
a contract renewal for the two year period from April 2015 until April 2017. No
changes have been made to the Group Emergency Travel Insurance policy with
AIG.

At its November 23, 2009 meeting, Common Council
to the following service providers: AIG, Manulife and Managed Health Care
Services Inc.
At its January 28, 2013 m
Benefits Plan Individual Large Amount Pooling Common Council implement an
individual large amount pooling program for the prescription drug benefit with a
cap of $50,000 as per Option 3, for a one year period and that further review be
completed during this time frame
STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT
The City of Saint John has contracts with MHSCI, AIG and Manulife Financial to
provide Administrative Services only for our Group Benefits which includes
health, dental, travel and prescription drugs for active employees and retirees.
The City currently pays seventy-five percent (75%) of the prescription drug
benefit for employees. The carrier, MHCSI provides administrative services
only for this benefit, therefore the City pays seventy-five percent (75%) of all
employee claims submitted to MHCSI as well as seventy-five percent (75%) of
the administrative charges. Retirees pay one hundred percent (100%) of the
prescription drug benefit; however, their claims experience is grouped into the
overall plan with employees. There are currently 671 active members and 802
In 2013, prescription drug claims experience reached 2.5 million. At this time we
purchased additional insurance to cover individual prescription drug claims that
totaled more than $50,000. Through the individual large amount pooling
program (Stop Loss Insurance), the City was reimbursed $18,013 from the
insurance provider in 2013. In 2014 and 2015 claims experience reached 2.4
million. There were no claims in 2014 or 2015 over the $50,000 cap, therefore, a
reimbursement was not received.
Annually, claims experience fluctuates, although the individual large amount
pooling program did not provide a return in 2014 or 2015. Dealing with an
administrative services only plan, it is important to continue to protect the
stability of the plan from catastrophic claims that could take place in any given
year without warning or without analyzing trends.
There have been no changes to Policy Number: SRG 902 66 62A with AIG
Insurance Company of Canada.

SERVICE AND FINANCIAL OUTCOMES
This is a budgeted expenditure within the envelope approved by Common
Council in the 2016 Operating Budget.
The expenses for prescription drugs and the Stop Loss insurance for the past
three years are as follows:

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that:
1) Common Council approve reallocating $44,000 of the $54,000 General
Fund surplus from the Princess Street (Charlotte Street to Sydney Street)
Street Reconstruction project (M&C 2016-105) to the Grannan Street &
Canterbury Street (Grannan Street to Civic #52) Street Surface Renewal
project to offset the projected budget variance as outlined in the report.
2) Contract No. 2016-08: Grannan Street & Canterbury Street (Grannan
Street to Civic #52) Street Surface Renewal be awarded to the low
Tenderer, Galbraith Construction Ltd., at the tendered price of
$354,963.60 (including HST) as calculated based upon estimated
quantities, and further that the Mayor and Common Clerk be authorized
to execute the necessary contract documents.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this report is to recommend that Council award Contract 2016-
08: Grannan Street & Canterbury Street (Grannan Street to Civic #52) Street
Surface Renewal to the low Tenderer.
PREVIOUS RESOLUTION
December 17, 2015; 2016 General Fund Capital Program Approved.

STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT
This report aligns with Sustainable Infrastructure.
REPORT
BACKGROUND
The approved 2016 General Fund Capital Program includes projects for the
design and renewal of the street surfaces on Grannan Street from Germain
Street to Prince William Street and on Canterbury Street from Grannan Street to
Civic #52.
TENDER RESULTS
Tenders closed on July 20, 2016 with the following results, including HST:
1. Galbraith Construction Ltd., Saint John, NB $ 354,963.60
2. Midi Construction Ltd., Saint John, NB $ 387,064.41
3. Classic Construction (2012) Ltd., Saint John, NB $ 389,533.75
295,077.35, including HST.
ANALYSIS
The three tenders were reviewed by staff and all tenders were found to be
formal in all respects. Staff is of the opinion that the low tenderer has the
necessary resources and expertise to perform the work, and recommend
acceptance of their tender. Work is expected to begin late August and continue
until mid-October, 2016.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
The Contract includes work that is charged against the 2016 General Fund
Capital Program. Assuming award of the Contract to the low tenderer, an
analysis has been completed which includes the estimated amount of work that
will be performed by the Contractor and Others.
The analysis is as follows:
Budget $ 313,000
Project net cost $ 357,000
Variance (shortfall) $ 44,000
- 3 -
A budget surplus of $54,000 was idenfied from the General Fund portion of the
following project: Contract 2016-02 Princess Street (Charlotte Street to Sydney
Street) Street Reconstruction (M&C 2016-105). It is proposed to utilize a portion
of the Contract 201602 budget surplus to offset the projected $44,000 budget
variance for the Grannan Street & Canterbury Street (Grannan Street to Civic
#52) Street Surface Renewal project.
POLICY TENDERING OF CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS
The recommendation in this report is made in accordance with the provisions of
Specifications and the specific project specifications.
SERVICE AND FINANCIAL OUTCOMES
The existing concrete surface on Grannan Street is in poor condition and requires
replacement. The existing Grannan Street/Canterbury Street intersection will be
reconfigured by adding curb extensions on the south side of the intersection.
These extensions will make the intersection more pedestrian friendly by
reducing the distance required for pedestrians to cross Canterbury Street as well
as providing traffic calming through a reduced vehicle travel lane width. Both of
these projects will compliment the recent private re-development in the area.
The financial analysis of this project identified a budget shortfall of $44,000. It is
proposed to utilize a portion of the budget surplus from Contract 2016-02 to
offset this budget variance.

POLICY TENDERING OF CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS
The recommendation in this report is made in accordance with the provisions of
Specifications and the specific project specifications.

completion of the baseball season with an overall construction completion date
of November 30, 2016.

Partnership with ONB, ESJ and Port SJ has resulted in a business attraction pilot
2016 continuous
improvement
project which leveraged approximately $40,000 in marketing and business attraction
work with a $10,000 investment. Phase II of the project envisions a $20,000
investment leveraging additional program funding of $280,000 (ACOA, ONB, Port and
ESJ).
Reductions in real estate taxes through referrals of approximately $3,800 results in
year over year savings.
Reorganization of computer system results in an additional $600 per year savings.
Self- installed for sale signage saving $1,000.

to maintain current information leading to efficient operation of both on-street and off-street
parking facilities. These business processes are for the fulfillment of public needs in
relation to:
- Parking in general;
- The establishment of a permanent coordinated system of parking facilities;
- Parking planning, design, location and acquisition;
- Maintenance, operation, ownership, leasing, either in the capacity of lessor or
lessee, land, buildings and facilities allocated to the parking;

There are two (2) revenue streams for the Saint John Parking:
Projected 2016
revenue streams
- On-Street Parking: Note: net revenue generated by this business process is
directly allocated to the City. The Saint John Parking Commission does not realize a
net financial benefit of this business process.
- Off - Street Parking including the Peel Plaza Parking Garage. Note: 100% of this
revenue stream is realized by the Saint John Parking Commission.
2016 continuous
SJPC has not opted to proceed with a formal City initiated continuous improvement
improvement
initiative at this time. Having said this, we have initiated the following improvements:
- SJPC handles payment cards (MasterCard, Visa, American Express) for payment of
monthly parking rental. Currently, to process payment our administrative staff must
manually slide each and every card we store through a payment terminal. We are
moving to an online electronic portal terminal and plan to implement the product
Paymentus. This will enable a monthly automated batch processing of all cards with
minimal or no action required by staff;
- Handling of cash is expensive and cumbersome. Traditional coin operating meters
have a one to one relationship to parking spots. Thus we are targeting conversion
of several coin operated parking meters to Pay and Display machines that enable
payment card processing and service more than one parking space.
- System upgrades of parking enforcement handheld devices used to issue parking
tickets. Currently our enforcement officers utilize and carry 3 devices. This will
now be streamlined into one saving time and subsequently driving down cost.
- Initiative to collaborate with City Planning Department and One Stop to improve
efficiency of issuing parking permits to contractors completing work in the uptown
area.

As we are little more than 90 days in to this change Service and Performance objectives
Performance/Servi
are still being formulated / re-written.
ce Objectives
In addition to this and notable in the last 90 days there have been major changes to the
parking business. A few examples:
- Peel Plaza Monthly Parking is utilized at 100% capacity;
- Approximately 330 monthly parking spaces in the uptown area are eliminated in
favor of development activity;
PlanSJ indicates development in the uptown area and favors alternate forms of
transportation (Walking Trails, Bicycle, and Transit). The plan also denotes development
completed and funding for completion of later phases had been removed from the 2016
budget. We are hopeful this will be completed in 2017 and as such will align our Parking
and Transit objectives in this regard.
Still being developed.

terminated, representing almost 330 spaces. Parking in the uptown area is now at a
premium and the majority of the SJPC lots have large waiting lists.
Supply no longer meets demand.
This aligns well with PlanSJ, which is in favor of development. The Plan also promotes
alternate means of transportation in an effort to alleviate some of the issues related to
Parking. In 2016, the funds available to implement the transportation portion of PlanSJ,
were removed from the budget. This represents a significant issue in that the SJPC does
not have the capacity (Supply) to accommodate the demand for Parking. Reduced
Parking equates to reduce revenue and we are unable to alleviate the pressure as the
Transportation Plan lacks the necessary funding needed to move forward.
Summary of
primary take-
- We are executing on our Municipal Plan without a Transportation plan (MoveSJ).

Development in the uptown area continues which is a great accomplishment.

share of this funding is in the order of $3.7M. To acquire this funding
we will need to match this number. Council will need to approve
approximately $3.7M in capital for Transit. This funding must be
consumed by March 31, 2018.

APPENDIX F:Historical Information on 100 Watson Street, Saint John, NB
The following documentation is from the Municipal Registration for Local Historic Places:
The heritage value of St George’s Church, built for its first service on November 6, 1821, is
recognized as being a part of the history of the Anglican Chruch of Canada, the Parish of
Carleton, and King Street West. It is the oldest church in continuous use in Saint John.
The original St. George’s Church, absent of a clock tower, was fashioned in popular Georgian
style. By 1840 thechurch had a central tower with its main entrance facing King Street West.
The church would undergo further changes as a major expansion began in the early 1840’s.
Galleries added during this period increased seating from 270 to 600, the largest seating, at that
time, of all the Anglican churches in Saint John.
For the church’s centennial, in 1921, the church hall was added to the King Street entrance of the
church and the tower moved to its current location facing Watson Street.
The clock in St. George’s tower was given as a gift from the post office when Union Street West
was torn down in 1932 due to the port expansion. Today, this clock is the only mechanical clock
remaining in Saint John, as all the others have been electrified.
In addition to many stained-glass windows donated to the church over the years, the Boy Scout
“Pathfinder” window is the only authorized copy in North America of a painting called “The
Pathfinder” by English painter Ernest S. Carlos.
King Street West is located in the areaof Saint John formerly known as Carleton. Residents of
Carleton made a living fishing, farming, quarrying, cutting lumber, and building ships. King
Street West was a mixture of houses and merchant businesses as well as lumber yards and fish
plants on itslower half. It was the commercial heart of Carleton. The lower end of King Street
West disappeared as part of port expansion in 1932.
King Square West is found across the street from the church and is where Gabriel Ludlow, the
first mayor of the first incorporated city in Canada, is buried. King Street West hosted a number
of public events including parades and a royal visit. In 1939, George VI and Queen Elizabeth,
the first reigning monarchs to ever vist Canada included King Street West on their tour.

Your City Manager recommends that Common Council schedule a public hearing
date of Monday July 25th, 2016 at 6:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers to consider
an amendment to the Saint John Heritage Conservation Areas By-Law, which
would remove the church building at 100 Watson Street, PID 00361535 from the
King Street West Conservation Area, and that the necessary advertising be
authorized in this regard.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The owners of 100 Watson Street, located in the King Street West Heritage
Conservation Area, have made a request to the Heritage Development Board and
to Common Council to remove the Heritage designation for the property. This
request, if approved by Common Council, involves consideration of an
amendment to the Saint John Heritage Conservation Areas By-law HC-1 at a
public hearing of Common Council.
This request was discussed by the Heritage Development Board on April 20,
2016. After careful consideration of the heritage significance of the building, the
staff report and recommendation and upon hearing from the applicant, the
Board recommendation to Council is to deny the request.

Staff is recommending that Common Council set a public hearing date of July 25,
PREVIOUS RESOLUTION
On February 3, 2014 Common Council considered a request from a previous owner to
remove 100 Watson Street from Heritage designation and passed the following

REPORT
BACKGROUND
The building at 100 Watson Street,
long and rich history in Saint John. The building and property is included in the
King Street West Heritage Conservation Area, established in the Heritage By-law
in October, 2007. The church grounds border King Street West, Watson and
Duke Streets, and is adjacent to King Square West.
Up until 2015, it was the oldest church in continuous use in Saint John. The
original St. opular
Georgian style with its main entrance facing King Street West. By 1840, the
central tower was added along with other expansions. The mechanical clock was
gifted to the church from the post office building (torn down in 1932) on Union
Street West; this clock is the only mechanical clock remaining in Saint John, as
others have been converted to electric. See Appendix F for more detail.
DISCUSSION
individuals who saw the potential for a new use for this building which has been
cherished by the community for generations. The site was rezoned in 2015 from
Neighbourhood Community Facility (CFN) to General Commercial (CG) to allow
for commercial use. The new owners opened two new businesses in the building,
a restaurant and wedding chapel.
th
On October 28, 2015, the owners of 100 Watson Street applied for a Heritage
Permit to install two wood signs above the entrances to the new businesses. The
Heritage Development Board \[HDB\] approved this application and Heritage Staff
advised that it would be eligible for a Heritage Grant.

where it was then referred to the HDB for a recommendation.
th
Staff prepared a report for the HDB on the matter for the meeting of April 20,
2016. The report outlined the significance of the church building, the application
history with the HDB and the process for amending the Heritage By-law. Mr.
McCashion attended the meeting and contributed to discussion on the matter.
He explained that there are four partners that currently own the property at 100
Watson Street and that while it is their intention to restore the building they feel
that the Heritage status creates burden in accomplishing this goal. Board
members questioned the applicant on the types of projects he would be
proposing, to which Mr. McCashion explained they wish to repair some of the
wood shingles, replace the roof, remove the vinyl siding to install wood siding,
and repair/maintain the clock tower. Board members reassured Mr. McCashion
that all of these projects would be encouraged by the Heritage Standards and
Guidelines and would be eligible for funding through the Heritage Grant Program
should he wish to apply. Mr. McCashion explained that he did not want to
receive government assistance from the Grant program and felt that they could
complete the projects much cheaper than if they were not bound by the
Heritage By-law.
The Heritage Officer and Board members clarified some misunderstandings
about the Heritage Program and held further discussion with the applicant,
including the opportunity for their planned projects to receive Heritage Grant
funding in the future. But following the conversation, Mr. McCashion thanked
the Board for their comments and reiterated that he and his partners felt it was
in the best interest of their business that they have the property removed from
the Heritage Conservation Area.
The staff recommendation was to deny the request for removal based on the
architectural and cultural significance of
landmark of West Saint John and to ensure its presence in the King Street West
Heritage Conservation Area for future generations. Staff and the HDB had
further discussion on recommending denial for the reason that the same request
had come forward two years prior from a not-for-profit organization (Anglican
Church) and was denied; the current request involves the same circumstances,
th
however it is now a private business. At its meeting of April 20, 2016, the HDB
resolved the following:

It is important to note that in February 2014, Common Council and the Heritage
Development Board considered the same request for removal of this property
from the King Street West Heritage Conservation Area. The former building
St. Jud
submitted a letter to the HDB requesting that the church be removed from
th
Heritage designation. In the letter and at the HDB meeting of August 7, 2013,
the applicant outlined the reasons for this request and explained that, at the
time, it was likely that the church will have to close in the next two to three
years because of financial hardship. The Board held a lengthy discussion
regarding the importance of the church building remaining within the West Saint
They expressed the concern that removing this building from the Heritage Area
would exclude it from the protection provided by the Saint John Heritage
Conservation Areas By-Law and therefore opening the potential for demolition
as there is always the potential for a new owner to purchase the building and
use the Heritage Grant Program to assist in maintaining and restoring the
building. A perceived hardship cannot be entertained for grounds of non-
th
compliance with a City By-law. At the meeting of August 7, 2013, the Heritage
Development Board adopted the following resolution:
100 Watson Street from the King Street West Heritage Conservation
Area
stnd
At the public hearing of February 3, 2014, Common Council denied 1 and 2
reading for the removal of 100 Watson Street, taking into consideration the
RESOLVED that Common Council deny the request to remove 100 Watson
Street from the King Street West Heritage Conservation Area.
If Council chooses to proceed with this request for the removal of 100 Watson
Street from the Heritage Conservation Area, the process requires an amendment
to the Saint John Conservation Areas By-Law HC-1. The process to consider such
an amendment, as set out in the Heritage Conservation Act, begins by Council
st
setting an advertised Public Hearing date at Common Council at which point 1
ndrd
and 2 readings can be considered. At a subsequent Council meeting, the 3
final reading can be considered.
The intent of the Heritage Conservation Areas By-Law is ultimately to encourage
the conservation of heritage properties through proper maintenance. The
Heritage Development Board has demonstrated openness to certain
contemporary materials for maintenance projects, and has supported many
- 5 -
fitting new developments in the Heritage Area. The Heritage Grant Program is in
place for financial assistance to owners who undertake conservation projects.
The Board has seen great success with the uptake and positive outcomes that
result from the Heritage Grant Program. It was recommended that the current
owners of 100 Watson Street take advantage of this funding opportunity for the
exterior work intended for the building.

The Heritage Board and staff are open to consultation and discussion with property
owners to consider alternatives, and try to do so in a timely fashion so that work may
proceed. The Board meets every two weeks to speed up the process of review and
approval.
The Board realizes that economically viable uses for our Heritage Buildings are essential
if these buildings are to be preserved. The Board applauds Business Investment in our
Built Heritage, and has worked with many entrepreneurs as they repurpose and renovate
to achieve their Business Goals.
Signs identifying and promoting a business are regularly approved by the Board, after
consultation & review. The Sign proposed by The Old St George Restaurant was
approved by the Heritage Board.
Unfortunately misinformation can discourage potential future investment in rich
stock of heritage properties. The Heritage Conservation program, as legislated by the
Province and by Common Council, is intended to ensure that the rich heritage character of
our community is maintained for the benefit of future generations, through a mixture of
careful stewardship by property owners, and protection by public legislation.
It would be unfortunate if the future of this important Heritage Building were jeopardized
by a decision by this Council to remove it from designation. It is the expressed wish of
good intentions did not outlast their ownership of the building.
Yours truly,

The case for increased immigration into Saint John and surrounding area has never been greater. A city hall
that actively fosters immigration is better positioned to combat challenges such as outmigration and an aging
labour market, while being a clear driver of growth in a community. For example, the City of Moncton is the
fastest growing population East of Saskatoon and 5th fastest growing CMA in Canada (2000 people per year)
and 30% of that growth is a result of newcomers.
City Hall is favourably positioned to encourage the institutional changes needed to make us a welcoming
community. Furthermore, although the City of Saint John is not a regulatory body for immigration, it can
communicate our need for immigrants as a key motivator for growth, while assisting our private sector in the
attraction and integration of immigrants into the Saint John community.
The City of Saint John can join other small and mid-size cities like the City of Moncton in pursuit of ensuring
that immigration is important to cities our size. The development of a City of Saint John immigration strategy
can also help promote the need for adequate investment; policy and support are in place to encourage a
robust immigration strategy to foster growth.
Furthermore, a City of Saint John immigration strategy can help promote Saint John as the community of
choice to newcomers across the country and beyond. The development of an immigration strategy is one
way that we can lead by example, and promote the attraction, retention and integration of newcomers into
our Saint John community.

development of a City of Saint John Immigration Strategy.

Your Worship and Councillors:
Subject: Ward Activity Fund
Background:
The purpose of this motion is to help modernize the municipal grant process while better focusing a portion
of the limited community, culture and arts funding available. This proposed Ward Activity Fund can improve
localized community outcome support in each respective ward if passed successfully. Furthermore, it should
be understood that the inspiration for this resolution is similar to the District Activity
Funds Program (Appendix "A") made available each fiscal year in the Halifax Regional Municipality
This proposed funding program is intended to compliment the current Municipal Grants Program. The
proposed fund contemplates modest grants for community groups, most of which would either be ineligible
for the City of Saint John Municipal Grants Program or too small to be well-served by the current municipal
grants decision-making process and time-frame.
As described in Appendix "A" of this motion the origin of this resolution is to provide modest financial
resources to the councillor(s) of each electoral ward in the City of Saint John to support a wide array of
activities. As described in the attached "the aim of this fund is to provide a simple, effective method of
providing small grants to community groups and special events. Typically, such requests are received directly
by councillors for modest amounts in support of local fund-raising campaigns, charitable and non-profit
initiatives, a special event, or an amateur sports team or competition."
The type of activities that could be eligible for this modest Ward Activity Fund are wide ranging. By way of
example, environment, public safety, social, arts, heritage and youth are all but a few that are detailed on the
last page of Appendix A.
The Ward Activity Fund would be designed to financially support smaller-scale ward (community) events and
activities, or to provide financial support for ward (community) organizations. This fund is not designed to
necessarily increase the envelope of money designated for such events but design a new delivery vehicle
where support can be provided as close to the grassroots as possible.
Similar to the program available in the Halifax Regional Municipality, recipients of this proposed Ward
Activity Fund must be a registered non-profit, charity, society, club, association, or exhibition. The context of
this proposed Ward Activity Fund would focus exclusively on local activities related to recreation, social
welfare, culture, charitable fund-raising by a recognized institution or duly registered community group,
community and civic events, an amateur sports club or sports event, environmental protection or a
community beautification project and community-based educational initiatives.
Motion:
Direct the City Manager to draft a Ward Activity Fund program policy for Common Council consideration.

The Municipal Street Lighting Best Management Practice is well aligned with the
City of Saint John Municipal Plan (Plan SJ) policies, the Municipal Energy
Efficiency Program (MEEP) objectives and City of Saint John Subdivision By-law.

The Best Management Practice fulfills Policy TM-49 of Plan SJ. This policy called
for the City and Saint John Energy to develop a cohesive street-lighting design

The Best Management Practice is one of the key reference documents under The

The MEEP objective is to reduce GHG emissions and energy consumption

The document is used by City of Saint John and Saint John Energy staff to
regulate the installation of street lights, help manage the existing street lighting
within the City and to assess requests on existing municipal street lighting
conditions across the City. This document has incorporated several industry
standards and practices such as the Transportation Association of Canada (TAC)
Manual and the Illuminating Engineering Association (IES).
A Technical Steering Committee was formed in 2014 to help develop and
manage the Municipal Street Lighting Best management Practice, the Committee
comprised of:
City of Saint John
Samir Yammine, Energy Manager, Finance and Administrative Services
Holly Young, Manager, Infrastructure Development, Growth &
Community Development Services
Deputy Commissioner -Transportation &
Environment Services
Mark Reade, Senior Planner - Growth & Community Development
Services
Saint John Energy
Darin Lamont, Manager, Engineering & Operations
In the past few months, the Technical Steering Committee have reviewed the
existing document in light of the new changes to the Subdivision By-law and the
Light Emitting Diode (LED) Municipal Street Lighting Conversion Agreement with
Saint John Energy. The following outlines the changes to the Municipal Street
Lighting Best Management Practice:

Add definition of private street

Saint John suitable for the passage of motor vehicles that serves a
Cluster Townhouse Dwelling.
Add statement to section 4.0
o These Guidelines also apply to Private Streets developed in
accordance with City of Saint John Subdivision By-law, which are
considered to be Local Streets under the design criteria and
methodology presented in this Best Management Practice.
Update Table 5, 6, 8 to indicate that all new lighting fixtures across the
City with the exception of the post top decorative shall be LED.
Update the Standard Construction drawings.
SERVICE AND FINANCIAL OUTCOMES
In the short term, the new changes to the document shall not result in any
increase or reduction to the street lighting operating budget; however, in the
long term there will be energy and maintenance cost savings as the result of the
installation of LED fixtures on new and existing street lights. Furthermore, this
Document addresses financial sustainability with respect to the maintenance and
operating costs of the street lighting within the City.

Municipal Street Lighting - Best Management Practice
Rural Road A rural road is considered to be similar to a local street, serving larger un-serviced lots
with on-site facilities. These roadways are outside the CitPrimary Development Area as shown on
the Municipal Development Plan (Schedule B Future Land Use, latest revision). Rural roads shall
not have street lighting unless deemed necessary due to dead ends, lighting warrants, intersections
and/or vertical/horizontal curvature. If lighting is warranted, rural roads shall meet the requirements of
local roadways with low pedestrian conflict.
Street Light Pole A metal or wooden pole that has a street light mounted on it as an attachment.
Uniformity A measure of the change in intensity of light over a certain area. The smaller the difference
between the brightest point and the darkest point (or the brightest and the average) in a given area, the better

Visibility The quality or state of being perceived by the eye. Typically in street lighting it is defined as the
distance at which an object can be seen.
4. Introduction
The City has developed this Municipal Street Lighting Best Management Practice (Document) in order to
standardize the process for design, review and assessment of municipal street lighting in the City of Saint
John. This Document is intended to provide adequate street lighting uniformity (location, spacing, type,
and/or amount) for full street reconstructions, new developments, and where applicable, to assess requests
on existing street lighting conditions across the City. All street lighting evaluations and requests shall consider
user roadway, user safety, cost benefit analysis and capital cost. With the exception of emergency
requirements, any warranted street lighting will be prioritized and considered during budget deliberations.
Consideration for street lighting will only be within the municipal right-of-way and not for private lighting
purposes.
Municipal street lighting designs in Saint John shall be in accordance with the Transportation Association of
Canada (TAC) Guide for the Design of Roadway Lighting. These Practices are to be read in conjunction with
the TAC Guide for Roadway Lighting. Those performing designs in Saint John must be knowledgeable in all
parts of the TAC Guide for Roadway Lighting. All design must be in conformance with Canadian Electrical
Code.
These Guidelines also apply to Private Streets developed in accordance with City of Saint John Subdivision
By-law, which are considered to be Local Streets under the design criteria and methodology presented in this
Best Management Practice.
This Document shall apply to streets that are under the jurisdiction of the City, it does not apply to, open
spaces, parks, provincial and regional designated highways. Although the Document addresses several
lighting design situations, there may be instances where a lighting design is not covered. Where special
circumstances arise, the City may vary from the requirements of this Best Management Practice and use
recognized municipal lighting standards.
4.1 Purpose
The purpose of the City of Saint John Municipal Street Lighting Best Management Practice is to develop
principles that will:
contribute to roadway user safety;
assist in the conservation of energy;
assist in preserving the experience of the night sky (minimize light pollution);
provide respect for the privacy of residential space (minimize light trespass);
provide a consistent and standard approach to design; and
July 2016 Page 6 of 15

Municipal Street Lighting - Best Management Practice
ensure financial sustainability with respect to construction, maintenance and operating costs.
5. General Information
5.1 Lighting Levels
The street lighting levels shall be based on the latest revisions of TAC and ANSI/IESNA standards. The
recommended levels for each type of roadway are described below:
Horizontal Luminance - the recommended measurement for standard roadways. The calculations to be
performed for a roadway are average, uniformity and veiling ratio; Table 1 illustrates the acceptable levels for
horizontal luminance.
Horizontal Illuminance - the recommended measurement for intersections, including curvilinear road sections,
cul-de-sacs and roundabouts; Table 2 illustrates the acceptable levels for horizontal illuminance.
Vertical Iilluminance - the recommended to measure lighting at pedestrian areas to ensure the safety of
pedestrians; Table 3 illustrates the acceptable levels for vertical illuminance.

sections. Where required illumination levels for rural intersections shall meet partial intersection lighting level requirements.
5.2 Design Criteria
Designs shall endeavour to provide consistent illumination for street lighting throughout the City while meeting
the requirements in this document.
Street lighting shall be designed by the City, or their approved lighting designer / consultant, taking into
consideration, the requirements to promote safety and security for drivers and pedestrians, control glare,
minimize lighting trespass onto adjacent properties, minimize direct upward light emissions, energy
conservation and minimize over lighting.
Street lighting within the City shall be standard cobra head style except in specified areas such as Uptown
Saint John, locations designated as Heritage Areas, and any other areas where special approvals have been
granted. In areas illuminated with decorative lighting, all efforts shall be made to meet the requirements of this
document; however, it is acceptable for average illumination levels to be lower than prescribed as long as the
uniformity ratio is met.
5.2.1 Pole Offsets for Roadway Surfaces
Pole offsets for roadway surfaces shall be
Specifications and as outlined below:
For roadways that include curb and sidewalk, street light poles shall be located between the curb and
sidewalk (sod median).
For rural roadway classifications, street light poles shall be located a minimum of 1.85 m outside the
edge of asphalt.
For roadways with shared use trails adjacent to the roadway street light poles shall be located a
minimum of 1.5 m outside the edge of asphalt.
Where pole offsets and proposed locations are not possible, lighting calculations and proposed shall be
reviewed to determine the best possible location for poles and the design shall be reviewed by the Chief City
Engineer or designate.
5.2.2 Pole Heights and Spacing
Street light pole heights and spacing shall vary based on the luminaire wattage and the type of luminaire and
the roadway classification. Table 5 provides the required pole heights and spacing.

Mounting heights for standard flat glass fixtures are based on using standard mast arms, length of either
1.2 m or 3.1 m based on the location of the pole and results of the calculations. For installation of standard
fixtures on street light poles, the developer is to coordinate mounting heights and spacing with the Chief City
Engineer or designate, selecting the most appropriate wattage to meet the required levels.
For new residential areas, the recommended street light pole location shall be on lot lines between properties
to assist in the elimination of light trespass into houses.
All street lighting designs shall be done based on the specific roadway. Pole heights and spacing are to be
designed based on the lighting level calculations to best meet the lighting levels required.
5.2.3 Luminaire Wattages for Different Roadway Classifications
Luminaire wattages shall vary based on the type of luminaire and the roadway classification. Table 6 provides
the required luminaire wattages as follows:

*131W luminaires are only to be used on arterial roads where 88W luminaires are not able to reach the proper lighting levels.
** Used in uptown locations only
All street lighting designs shall be done based on the specific roadway. Luminaire wattages are to be
designed based on the lighting level calculations to best meet the lighting levels required.
5.2.4 Light Level Calculations
Luminance is the preferred measure for roadway surfaces as it measures the light that is reflected from the
roadway surface to the observer looking down at the roadway, and is used as a measurement to ensure
minimal over lighting.
July 2016 Page 10 of 15
City of Saint John
Municipal Street Lighting - Best Management Practice
For standard roadway surfaces, the City or their approved lighting designer / consultant, is required to
calculate the horizontal luminance.
For roadway surfaces that are curvilinear, illuminance is the preferred measure as the levels are not
dependent on an observer and only consider the light that strikes off the surface regardless of the location of
the observer.
The City or their approved lighting designer / consultant shall, as a minimum, perform the following
street lighting calculations:
o Horizontal Luminance Criteria for Roadways (Table 1)
o Horizontal Illuminance Criteria for Curvilinear Road Sections, Cul-de-sacs and Roundabouts
(Table 2)
o Vertical Illuminance Criteria for Pedestrian Areas (Table 3)
o Illuminance Criteria for Intersections (Table 4)
The City or their approved lighting designer / consultant shall perform street lighting calculations such
that the lighting levels are as close to the acceptable averages as possible without significant over
lighting. Pole spacing, wattages and pole heights shall be adjusted to ensure over lighting, trespass
light and glare are minimized.
The City or their approved lighting designer / consultant shall perform all calculations using a 0.8 light
loss factor for new luminaires.
The City or their approved lighting designer / consultant shall prepare drawing submissions for the
lighting level calculations that shall include the following:
o Layout of the roadway with grid points within the edge of pavement;
o Horizontal luminance calculation for the entire standard roadway showing Average, Uniformity
(Avg/Min);
o A separate horizontal illuminance calculation for each intersection, curvilinear road section,
roundabout or cul-de-sac, including the intersection to the existing street, including Average,
Uniformity (Avg/Min);
o A separate vertical illuminance calculation for each cross walk or sidewalk if it is immediately
adjacent to the edge of pavement, including Average, Uniformity (Avg/Min); and
o A legend indicating the type of luminaires, pole/mounting heights, quantities of each luminaire,
light loss factor used and wattages used.
Acceptable lighting software(s) shall be the latest version of any of the following:
AutoLUX;
AGi32;
Cooper Luxicon;
GE Aladdin; or
Visual
5.2.5 Other System Components
Other lighting system components that must be considered are: wiring, underground conduit, power
connection points, and fusing. These system components shall be designed to meet CEC requirements, the
local electrical utility Construction Practices and the following:
Street light wiring shall be a minimum of # 6 copper wiring for underground installations and have 2
wires plus ground for each circuit. Ground wires are to be # 6 bare copper. Wiring shall be RWU-90.
Wiring shall be sized such that the voltage drop on any given run is no more than 3%.
July 2016 Page 11 of 15
City of Saint John
Municipal Street Lighting - Best Management Practice
Overhead wiring shall be either #4 duplex with messenger or # 2 tri-plex with messenger. Wiring shall
be aluminum for overhead installations. Overhead connections shall be coordinated with SJE.
Street light wiring shall be installed in DB-II conduit. Conduit is to be installed at a minimum depth to
meet CEC requirements or 600 mm where not located under road surfaces. Under road surface
conduits shall be installed in concrete encasement and shall be a minimum depth of 760 mm.
Splicing of wiring shall only be done in pole handholes or manholes. No splicing shall be performed
underground unless approved by SJE.
Luminaires shall be individually fused with 3A fuses at the splice in the pole handhole.
Street lighting shall not be required to be metered.
Street lights shall all have individual photo button control appropriate for the voltage of the luminaire.
If street light poles are installed with receptacles, the receptacles may only be used for decorative
lighting purposes and shall be designed accordingly. Appropriate labeling shall be installed at each
EC code requirements.
Receptacle shall only be allowed on poles in which supply voltage for the luminaire and the receptacle
are 120V.
Ground rods or ground plates shall be placed at the end of each circuit and at the power connection
point. Rods shall be copper clad 19 mm in diameter and 1.8 m in length.
5.3 Materials and Installation
Light pollution contributes to sky glow, glare, light trespass, light clutter, decreased visibility at night and
energy waste. The City recognizes the effects that light pollution has on the environment and therefore has
an interest in reducing the amount of light pollution generated by street lighting. As such, the City has selected
full cut-off fixtures for all applications.
Developers may request an equivalent decorative or standard lighting; however, the Chief City
Engineer or designate shall review all requests and advise if it is acceptable. All new street lighting shall be
LED. High Pressure Sodium (HPS) street lighting may be considered for decorative or ornamental purposes.
Although the CityDivision 16 details material and installation standards for street
lighting, this Document shall take precedence for street lighting and related equipment.
A list of acceptable manufacturers and materials is included in Tables 7, 8 and 9. Should there be a request
for a substitute or an equivalent product, all requests shall be provided in writing the Chief City Engineer or
designate, for review prior to any ordering or installing. The Chief City Engineer will review all request s and
advise in writing if the request product is acceptable.
Cut sheets must be supplied to the City by the developer and must include the minimum following
requirements:
Full part number must be shown for review;
Cut off classification or BUG rating of fixture and distribution type;
Wattage and pre-wired voltage of fixtures; and
Light source and ballast type.
All City approved fixtures must meet the following minimum requirements:
All street lights must be CSA approved;
All street lights must have universal starters;
All street lights must have common ballasts;
All street lights shall be tri-tap, and pre-wired for 120V connection; and

6. Roadway Street Lighting Assessments
6.1 Warrant Process
As municipal street lighting may not be required (warranted) on all roadways nor be beneficial to drivers in all
situations, the City shall use a point-score lighting warrant system based on the standards described in the
TAC Manual - Guide for the Design of Roadway Lighting (Chapter 9). The Warrant Analysis system, Table
10, shall be used to evaluate, calculate and determine the need for full, partial or no lighting.
New developments shall be reviewed by the City after the preliminary roadway layout has been designed and
constructed by the developer. The City shall use the Warrant System to determine the level of lighting
required and shall inform the developer of these requirements.
For existing roadways, should a citizen request a street light (process flowchart on next page), a lighting
warrant shall be performed by the City. The City shall not review requests for lighting on private property; the
warrant system shall only be valid for municipal street lighting applications. The City shall review the section
of roadway in question and based on the result of the warrant lighting system, determine if lighting is required.
The roadway shall be reviewed from the closest two intersecting streets or for a distance of 1 kilometre,
whichever is smaller.
Table 10 Lighting Warrant for Roadways has been included below:

DECISION HISTORY
On June 13, 2016, Common Council referred theproposed amendments to the Subdivision By-
law to the Planning Advisory Committee for a report and recommendation.
ANALYSIS
Background
One of the goals of the One-Stop Development Shop is to provide stakeholders with a suite of
modernized development by-laws that improve clarity and predictability for investment, while at
the same time ensuring our community standards are realized in accordance with PlanSJ.
WhenCommon Council adopted the new Subdivision By-law in March 2016,Staff anticipated
this By-law amendment asupdates were planned for the City’sGeneral Specifications and
“Municipal Streetlighting Best Management Practice”document, which are referencedby the
new By-law. Through thisupdate,the By-law willrefer to the most recentversions ofthese
documents.
Subdivision By-law Amendments
The proposed Subdivision By-law amendments are to update references to certain external
documents that have been recently changed. Changes are also proposedto allow Geoscientists
to provide certain reports, and to make minor correctionsto the By-law text.
Currently the by-law refers to the May 2015 edition of the General Specifications. Since the
adoption of the Subdivision By-law, a new edition of the General Specifications, with additional
technical requirements, has been released by the Engineering Department. This has created an
inconsistency between the By-law and the General Specifications.
As the Specifications are generally updated on an annual basis, the proposed By-law
amendment addresses both the existing inconsistency and the requirement for future updates to
the Subdivision By-law by changing the reference from the May 2015 General Specifications to
the latest version of the document.
The City’s “Municipal Streetlighting Best Management Practice” document was recently updated
to include private streets, which are now required to meet the same streetlighting standards as
local streets.Otherminor changes were made to the document that do not relate to the
Subdivision By-lawsuch as LED lightingrequirementsand revised standard drawings from SJ
Energy.
Theproposedamendmentsalso provide the ability for Geoscientist to providestormwater
management and soils reports when required by the Subdivision By-law. Geoscientists, in
addition to other professionals,have historically preparedthese reports and these proposed
amendments ensure they may continue to do so.
Page 2of 4
City of Saint JohnSubdivision By-law AmendmentJuly 15, 2016
The remaining proposed amendments are minor in nature and correct small errors.
