SEVEN KEY ISSUES FROM THE NOV. 21, 2011
PAC MEETING
1. Level of Consultation with First Nations – Akwesasne
The Planning Division staff has been in direct contact with a staff member of
Akwesasne, as well as the Archeologist who completed the study. There has
been no further feedback from Akwesasne and the attachment indicates the
result from the Ministry of Tourism and Culture concurring that the proper study
proposal protocols have been met. However, staff commit to a continued
dialogue with Akwesasne representatives as subsequent phases of the
development take place.
2.
Concern of Density in respect to surrounding neighborhood
McIntosh Perry has provided figures showing the net residential density for this
new (revised) Phase 1 will be 22.47 units/ha (9.1 units/acre), while the existing
neighbourhood is 23 units/ha. (9.3 units/acre). This translates to an almost
identical density for the area.
11
SEVEN KEY ISSUES FROM THE NOV. 21, 2011 PAC
MEETING (CON’TD)
3.
Traffic Flow Analysis for Phase 1 and at full build out (Attachment 11)
A Traffic Impact Study is not required for the phase due to low density, however,
a Traffic statement has been submitted by the Consultant. This statement has
been reviewed and approved by the Municipal Traffic Engineer. The statement
essentially states that given the low level of traffic generated by the new
subdivision, the service will be at acceptable levels.
4.
Ministry of the Environment
The Planning Division staff have continually been in consultation with the
Ministry. This office received an e-mail confirmation from the MOE
representative on February 17, 2012, that the Ministry has no objections to the
Revised Plan (Phase 1A area). This now satisfies the Municipality in moving
forward with an approval of this Revised Plan as presented.

SEVEN KEY ISSUES FROM THE NOV. 21, 2011 PAC
MEETING (CON’TD)
5. Title Absolute or Certification of Title
Planning Division staff has had discussions with the Ontario Land
Surveyor for the project as well as the Planning Consultant. Essentially,
the blocks as proposed will be able to be transferred to adjacent lands
owners. Planning Division staff has also contacted the City Solicitor and it
has been confirmed that this is a proper (legal) procedure through the
Plan of Subdivision process under the Planning Act.
6. Preliminary Servicing Plan (PSP)
A revised (P.S.P.) has been submitted to the Engineering Division. Staff
from the City’s Engineering Division are working with the Consultant’s
Engineers to finalize this.
13
OFFICIAL PLAN
• Plan indicates designation changes from
CRA to Urban Residential and General
Commercial
14
OFFICIAL PLAN ANALYSIS
• Planning staff have reviewed the Master Plan and support the
general principles of mixed use (residential/commercial)
redevelopment away from industrial.
• The Comprehensive Redevelopment Area (CRA) designation, is an
existing recognition of an area in land use transition, and is being
changed to Urban Residential (U. RES) and General Commercial
(G.C.) with this proposal.
• Urban Residential designation is to support the subdivision while
the introduction of sections of General Commercial (G.C.) will
provide for an opportunity for commercial development serving
this neighbourhood in the future.
15
OFFICIAL PLAN ANALYSIS
• The second request in the Official Plan Amendment is to
recognize changes to Schedule 5: Transportation Plan
• 1) Inclusion of Walton Street as a Local Collector:
 To provide continuity to the existing designation of Collector
Street that Walton Street currently has east of Danis Avenue, the
Official Plan Schedule 5 shall be amended to extend Walton
Street from St. Felix Street to Danis Avenue under that same
Collector Status roadway.
16
OFFICIAL PLAN AMENDMENT TO SCHEDULE 5
2.
Nick Kaneb Drive Extension as a Future Arterial:
Nick Kaneb Drive has been designated as an Arterial street
from Second Street East northerly up to Virginia Drive. As
such, it is important that such connectivity be continuous
from Second Street to Montreal Road. Therefore, Schedule
5 will also be amended to show this corridor link up to
Second Street East.
17
ZONING ISSUES
• The Developer intends to begin the development of the lands with
single and semi-detached lots and intends to construct a higher
density development to the north in the future.
• The road pattern for the subdivision is in an east-west grid.
Revised Phase 1 of the subdivision consists mostly of single
detached lots, with semi-detached lots abutting the west end of
the subdivision.
• As can be seen, the number of smaller lots is slightly higher than
the permitted 25% although these small lots are 13 metres, which
are larger than the typical 12-metre small lots, therefore, a site
specific exception to the zone will be required.

PROVINCIAL PLAN POLICY (PPS)
• PPS supports the redevelopment and intensification of fully
remediated Brownfield sites to accommodate development,
which may include a combination of generic clean-up and risk
assessment methodologies, for example.
• The Subdivision promotes good infill development with
residential land used directly adjacent on each side of the
property and will provide for the completion of this area.
• Maximizes usage of existing municipal infrastructure in the
neighbourhood.
25
REVIEW STATUS
• The City originally reviewed the Record of Site Condition (RSC)
posted on June 30th, 2011, clearing the development to a
Residential Standard and establishing the Legislative requirement
indicating that the site is remediated to a residential level and can,
therefore, support the infill development.
• Following the One Window approach, the MMAH office in Kingston
consulted with the District and Local Ministry of the Environment.
• A revised Phase 1 plan and additional Environmental Study work by
the Qualified Person (Q.P.) has now (Feb. 17/12) resulted in MOE
support of the specific proposal.
26
SUMMARY STATEMENTS
• Good Brownfield/Infill development
• Proper
regard
for
environmental
remediation
acknowledgement of recent supporting MOE comments.
and
• Compatible land use to surrounding neighbourhoods utilizing
existing services in the area.
• Consistent with PPS and OP Policies.
• This continued discussion and Final Recommendations/Draft Plan
Conditions are now reflective of the revised Phase 1 Plan.
