Executive Summary
The Oakville Harbour West Shore Master Plan presented the opportunity to enhance the ‘green necklace’ that connects the greater waterfront system along Lake Ontario. To date, each parcel (Shipyard Park, Tannery Park, Walker Street Promenade and Waterworks Park) has been developed for its own distinct purposes. The relationship of these parks is disjointed and as an overall open space system has great potential.
Mission and Goals
To create a multi-functional, diversified and fully accessible all season waterfront park which cel-ebrates the Harbour and the water’s edge, and encapsulates the heritage and evolution of Oakville Harbour and the downtown.
The guiding principles are to:
• Develop a Waterfront Park with a sense of permanence and importance.
• Improve visual access to the water’s edge, and create spaces that celebrate the creek and Lake Ontario.
• Develop creative and innovative detail design solutions which pay homage to the spirit of Oakville Harbour’s past, present and future.
• Use design detailing which respects the ambience and roots of Oakville Harbour, and use innovative interpretive elements which ‘tell the story’ of the Harbour.
• Strengthen the connection and accessibility between the various member parks, and public access to the water’s edge.
• Develop a truly ‘multi-use’ park which is adaptable, can accommodate change, and projected future programming; including festival and community events.
• Create a more dynamic waterfront edge, and link Tannery, Walker Promenade and Waterworks along the shoreline.

• Develop effective signage appropriate for the park - way-finding and interpretive, and develop common furnishing systems.
• Design with CPTED principles to ensure a safe site.
• Improve the environmental characteristics and natural qualities of the site - including water quality (surface and sub-surface), and drainage, improve the shoreline, enhance aquatic habitat, and protect the physical resources of the site.
• Use a variety of plant materials that will provide diversity, and will be reminiscent of native plant material found along the water’s edge where appropriate.
• Create a more functional marina and boating center which fully accessible to the public.
Concept Statement
A simple approach was used to develop a unified creative solution for the Oakville Harbour West Shore Master Plan:
• To create a distinct and unified identity to the area.
• To visually and functionally simplify and unify the area
• To eliminate redundant elements. • To develop each park in the system to have a more of an individual character and identity while maintaining the intention of a whole system that is linked and related. This will be accomplished by making:
•Shipyard Park more of a marina and boating friendly facility
• Tannery Park more of an accessible urban waterfront park
• Walker St. Promenade actually be a promenade
• Waterworks Park more of what it currently is – a terrific naturalised neighbourhood park

OAKVILLE HARBOURWest Shore Master Plan
Introduction
In September 2007, the Town of Oakville identified that the west shore of Oakville Harbour and adjacent park areas needed to be updated. It was recognized that the call to prepare an Oakville Harbour West Shore Master Plan was an opportunity to have a creative solution developed for the community that would provide unity and identity to what was presently four disparate parks. This report outlines the significant findings in the review and analysis of the existing parklands, sets out a landscape for the future and outlines ‘next steps’ towards an implementation strategy to be taken for the enhancement of Oakville Harbour. Thereby, ensuring this will be an important recreational and community resource as well as a significant tourist destination.
The Oakville Harbour West Shore Master Plan presented the opportunity to enhance the ‘green necklace’ that connects the greater waterfront system along Lake Ontario. To date, each parcel (Shipyard Park, Tannery Park, Walker Street Promenade and Waterworks Park) has been developed for its own distinct purposes. The relationship of these parks is disjointed and inharmonious; there is no particular identity to each park area apart from its name. The overall open space system has great potential however it is disorganized.
The design philosophy directing the master plan was to identify and highlight the opportunities that can be experienced along the west shore of Oakville Harbour and the Lake Ontario waterfront (from Tannery to Walker Street Promenade and Waterworks Park). This direction has provided outcomes which will serve as a guide to meaningful development of these parks. To achieve the best results, multiple meetings with staff and stakeholders were used to direct project development and decisions.
Analysis of the project site revealed that simple pedestrian linkages to the multiple adjacent neighbourhoods as well as much needed routes from the Oakville core along Lakeshore Road are underdeveloped. The recreational resource for the casual visitor is immense and underdeveloped for those who prefer to meander, sit and contemplate one of the most spectacular views along 16-Mile Creek/ Oakville Harbour and Lake Ontario. Some park spaces need relatively simple upgrades to pathways, lighting and way finding. Overall, the park system needs to be more flexible, with greater offerings for a quiet neighbourhood park under preserved mature trees, shady places for dog walking and picnicking, locations to fish, launch/haul out, store and dock boats and provide identity to Oakville’s recreation system.

OAKVILLE HARBOUR West Shore Master Plan
To date a variety of marina facilities, water recreation opportunities, passive recreational opportunities with pathways and displays have been developed, drawing the community and visitors to the waterfront. The intensity of use at the docking facilities needs to be addressed as these areas are tired. They need a significant re-design that better reflects the safety needs of dock users, boats and the general public wanting access to the area; in addition there is a need for the creation of more efficient spaces for autumn haul out and spring launch. Both the casual pedestrian and the avid boater need to be welcomed and provided with updated facilities and clear direction to allow for the most enjoyable experience by all.
Review of the 1994 Master Plan was also undertaken. The following items are identified as being applicable at this date:
� General mooring configuration support � Program to upgrade dock and facilities � Tenants to be surveyed to find out what services and willingness to pay � Upgrade Walker Street building � Launch ramp facility � West pier parking upgraded � Harbour Entrance tour boat stopover � Landscape improvements � lighthouse replica on pier � No fishing fleet expansion � No expansion of OHDA moorings in upstream wetlands
A critical review of the organization of marina facilities, site services, and landscape resources, as well as technical and user data and community input has provided the design team with additional programmatic direction and an ability to define needs, wants and opportunities of these parks. As a result the new master plan for the west shore of the Harbour has character related to both harbour and community. Within the scope of the four parks, the shoreline of Lake Ontario is highlighted to provide the best opportunity to get close to the waters edge allowing for opportunities to create habitat, and diversity in edge character and amenities.
Overall the West Shore Master Plan reflects the benefits of working closely with staff and stakeholders; and excellence in waterfront design and development – the resulting master plan enhances the harbour and the local and greater Oakville community.

Inventory and Analysis
At present the four parks that make up the harbour are a jumble of functionality and visual quality. The overall impression is a lack of – or at minimum, a confusing identity. Relationships of the indi-vidual parts are unclear, as often are the differentiations between public and private space.
Visually, as well as functionally, the atmosphere and materials are somewhat tired and worn. This is not unusual for a park system of this age. Many municipalities in the GTA and Golden Horseshoe have been - or are in the process of rejuvenating their urban waterfront parks for these very reasons.
Shipyard, Tannery and Walker Street Promenade are particularly not functioning to their full potential. For example, Shipyard Park is a marina based facility but many of the important marina functions are compromised. There is a log cabin in disrepair, compound like fences, lack of parking, confusing orientation for visitors - and little room to effectively manoeuvre cranes for lift out, store masts etc. Tannery Park, is a nice park in some areas and visually appealing especially in some of the areas up top - but areas such as the bottom and the water’s edge are unappealing. The most important part of any waterfront is the water’s edge. The lower waterfront area is cramped for space functionally and visually.
Walker Street Promenade and Waterworks Park are disconnected from Tannery Park along the shore-line. At present barrier free access between these parks does not exist at the lower level. A connective set of steps exist that do not meet current safety standards.
Following is a photographic analysis as well as an Analysis and Inventory Plan showing the various existing elements and aspects of the existing area.

OAKVILLE HARBOUR West Shore Master Plan
Detailed Concept Descriptions
The following numbers correspond with the reference numbers shown on the attached initial concept sketch plan and the Final Concept Plan.
1.0 Park Entrance at Walker and Wilson Streets• Extend sidewalk partially up Wilson Street, in order to create a landing area for the park path.• Provide park entrance and wayfinding sign.• Provide highlight planting to frame the entrance and improve its visual appeal from the street.• Reinforce edges of mature trees, with younger trees intended to replace the older trees in time.
2.0 Reinforcement of Mature Tree Planting• In this area, the park contains mature trees, with no understory. Intent in this area is to reinforce the mature trees with younger trees, intended to augment this feature and to provide a long-term viability with different ages of trees.• The main pathway is intended to stay in the same location as exists at present.• Some screening can occur against the north and east faces of the municipal water plant.• The screening vegetation should be native.• Some native plants were completed by volunteers, previously; these plants will be protected.
3.0 Water Plant Southern Boundary• Native species planting is proposed to occur along the southern boundary of the water plant.• The intent is to provide a green backdrop to the northern section of the park.
4.0 Existing West Parking Lot and Park Entrance• The existing parking lot will remain largely the same with minor changes to line painting and addition of bollards or barriers to prevent vehicular access.• Accessible spaces will be located on the southeast corner, and the southeast corner will be made accessible by inclusion of a ramp.• The park entrance and wayfinding sign should be located at this park entrance.• Some planting against the western border of the park, and the adjoining private property can also occur in this area.
5.0 Outfall• Some repairs are required to control erosion at the existing outfall.
OAKVILLE HARBOURWest Shore Master Plan
Page 30
6.0 Natural Play Feature• The basic theme for Waterworks Park, is green. It serves primarily as a neighborhood park. However, it will see intensified use with the connecting of the shoreline along Walker Street Promenade to Tannery Park.• Our feeling is that a traditional piece of play equipment would be out of place in this green environment. There is a more traditional play equipment located relatively close by in Burnet Park.• By Natural Play, we mean using natural forms and materials and interpretation to provide opportunity for play and interaction.• This type of play area, more or less can contain different themes and forms which are tied into the overall theme of this zone of the park.• By locating the play area in the convergence of the pathway system, we begin to introduce a more abstract interpretation of nature, in this green zone of the park.• The hill, mentioned above, is used for tobogganing and skiing by children in the winter so location is proposed on west side of convergence.
OAKVILLE HARBOURWest Shore Master Plan
Page 31
7.0 Shoreline Abstraction• The entire shoreline from the western boundary of the park to approximately where the townhouses start 200m east; currently exists as a partially grassed area with random shoreline protection in the form of rocks and stones.• In keeping with the green theme for this area of the park, we are proposing to introduce natural materials such as stone, wood, etc. to create visual ‘green’ art along the shoreline.• This could include using different types of boulders or stones, set in an architectural or man-made pattern that would provide interest to the waterfront edge.• These materials can also be functional, and provide places to sit, as well as being visually appealing. They can help create interesting effects from wave action along the shoreline.• This is a man-made shoreline, so our feeling is that we can enhance the ‘natural’ qualities of this zone by using abstract design to play around with, and have fun with the materials that make up the shoreline.• We propose that all soft areas on the lake side of the pathway in this zone be mass planted with ground covers and or grasses to contribute to the overall look and feel.• This abstraction of the shoreline would continue in different ways from Waterworks Park, to Tannery Park. Giving the park user a unique and original and interesting walk along the shoreline.
OAKVILLE HARBOURWest Shore Master Plan
Page 32
8.0 Natural Found Feature• Continuing the natural theme in this zone, this location would be perfect for an art object, possibly made of found or natural materials from the site.• The basic content along this entire section of shoreline is to create a visual effect, as if an artist was doing the job of a coastal engineer• This allows the shoreline to become something very unique artistic and interesting, while at the same time fulfilling basic erosion control from a functional standpoint.
9.0 Path Seating and Path Lighting• We propose that the pathway stays in the same basic location as exists now.• Seating areas would be added on the north side of the path to provide resting areas, and overviews of the lake.• This would consist of asphalt or concrete pads set back from the main path and containing bench furniture, which would be consistent with the overall furnishing theme for the entire park.• The pad would be wide enough to allow wheelchair access, adjacent to the bench.• We also propose, dark sky initiative style lighting of the entire pathway from the parking lot and Walker St. entrances.• All furnishings such as benches, trash receptacles, recycling bins, lighting standards, signings and interpretive panels – should be of one overall language unique to Oakville Harbour.• All park paths should have a minimum width of 3.5 m. This width is suitable for Parks vehicle use, small boom truck for light changing, and is a safe width for combined pedestrians and cyclists.
OAKVILLE HARBOURWest Shore Master Plan
Page 33
10.0 Savanna• We propose a reinforced savanna style planting area in this zone of the steep slope rear yard residences of Walker Street.• The same treatment would occur on both the east and western edges of these rear yard areas.
11.0 Steep Slope, Visual Improvement, Greening• This area is the narrowest section of shoreline.• The existing slope had vegetation removed by, and will be subject to severe erosion.• We propose green this area with low vegetation cover along this zone. In keeping with the abstraction of nature theme, this green slope could take form resulting from some alternate and innovative approaches.• There are some examples from around the world that deal with steep slope areas such as this, in a nontraditional manner.
OAKVILLE HARBOURWest Shore Master Plan
Page 34
12.0 Path Convergence, Overlook Staircase, Feature Zone• This area, the park is an important one, because it is the convergence of the new widened shoreline leading to Tannery Park, the redevelopment of the staircase, and the proposed development of a feature overlook.• We propose to move the walkway closer to the waterfront edge in this zone, to create more of a buffer between the steep slope at the rear yards of the Walker Street residences.• This area provides lots of opportunity to create interest with grade and elevation variations.• It is an area that makes the transition from neighborhood park to the larger waterfront Park.• The existing staircase, should be redeveloped with more appropriate materials such as steel railings platforms, and safety treads.
Overlook Staircase• The staircase could be developed in such a way that overlook opportunities are provided, and even places to sit, incorporated into the design.• Using steel type structures allows a much lighter setting of the structure into the landscape.• It provides opportunities to almost have a see-through structure that allows the user to be more in the landscape than ‘on’ the landscape. The current heavy timber design no longer meets current safety standards, the materials can be slippery when wet, and the overall effect is dark and uninviting.• Our feeling is, not to finish the material with methods such as powder coated paint, but rather more ‘natural’ and raw effect, such a plain galvanized steel.
Feature Zone• An overlook feature is proposed to be located in this area, to provide an interesting and visually appealing feature that anchors the western boundary of the main waterfront park.• It could begin on grade plaza, with different shoreline treatments jutting slightly out into the lake, where users could look down upon the water. Stacked armor stone or some other type of vertical edge would add interest and change, which fits in with the overall theme of the waterfront edge.• It could be a slightly raised platform on stilts that would allow the user to literally feel as if they were in the water, waves lapping below and underneath the structure.• The elevations of the overlook can add interest to the multiple levels of this zone of the park.• The overlook being slightly set into the lake provides linear vistas to both the east and west shoreline edges.• The pathways in this area would converge to connect all the different elevations and levels and staircase and overlook features.
13.0 Woodlot Improvements• We are proposing to largely leave this area, the way it currently exists. • The forestry report will address any thinning or clean up or enhancements, recommendations for this and other similar areas.• There is a natural path connection between the staircase, and the street that runs through this zone, and that should be a mulched path, and not more formal materials such as asphalt or screenings.
OAKVILLE HARBOURWest Shore Master Plan
Page 35
14.0 Park Entrance• Small improvements can be made to this park entrance, including information and wayfinding signings and extension of the concrete walkway along the north side of the road.• The exact extent of other improvements will depend on a final layout of the new park buildings and parking lot in this area.
15.0 Tableland and Region Building• We are proposing to screen the regional service building in this location, and to reinforce tree planting on both sides of the pathway leading to the pedestrian staircase.
16.0 New Shoreline Connecting Waterworks to Tannery• We propose a minimum cross-section along this zone of the park, which would include: • Approximately 5m for sure protection. • 2- 3m for a green edge adjacent to the shoreline. • 3.5 m wide walkway. • 4-5m wide green zone to the base of the steep slope • The approximate total width of the shore protection is 10 to 12 m.• Continuing the abstraction of the shoreline theme, the shore protection material could be totally different in this zone, such as a red granite compared to a white limestone or rounded armor compared to angular armor.• The green zone immediately above the shore protection would consist of hardy low species, including grasses and ground covers.• In selected areas the pathway would widen to contain seating platforms.• The steep vegetative slope which exists now, will be reinforced in order to maintain its thick vegetation profile and erosion control abilities.
17.0 Widening of Shoreline, and Transition Between Upper and Lower Path Systems.• In this area, the shoreline is a transition between the relatively narrow section with a steep slope back drop to the wider head land section located adjacent to the existing pier.• In this area, transitions will be made to connect the upper walkways leading to the future pavilion location, and the lower shoreline walkway, as well as connections to the revised parking lot.• The intent in this area will be to provide 6% or less slopes, for accessibility.
OAKVILLE HARBOURWest Shore Master Plan
Page 36
• The basic section in this area would be the following; • 5-10 m shore protection • 4-5m green space • 3.5m walkway • 5-10m green space • Edge of overlook parking • The total width required would be in the 18-30m range.• It is important that the headland extend to the limits shown on our sketch plan. This will allow an adequate amount of room to provide ample space for pedestrians, people and cars, and to eliminate the effect and character of all hard surfaces, which currently exists.• An additional feature of this area is the connection of the path systems to the existing concrete pier.• The design of this area should occur with subtle elevation changes from the highest point in the parking lot, and the lowest elevation at the shore protection.• The addition of the headland and shoreline fill to make a connection between Tannery Park and Waterworks Park, will create a whole new identity for this section of the Oakville Harbor waterfront.• In its existing form the shoreline edge varies from, a park like setting in the west, to an uninviting hard surface zone in the east, adjacent to the pier.• The new shoreline access will combine hard surfaces and green surfaces to create a much more inviting atmosphere and character, in addition to providing full access for the public to the waters edge.• In keeping with the abstract interpretation of nature, with respect to the shoreline, this zone of shoreline should contain different characteristics than those from the shoreline sections to the west. This would typically include a change of materials, colors and textures, and to become intricate elements in the diversity of the shoreline along Lake Ontario.• Creating this headland is one of the most important aspects of the revitalization of the harbour.
18.0 Headland Section• The intent in this area is to create more public access, and better public access; in addition to creating the opportunity to design an improved fishery habitat.• It was generally agreed that the extent of landfill would be to the approximate end of the existing pier, and the landform shape would gradually narrow to the existing steep shoreline section identified in item 16.
OAKVILLE HARBOURWest Shore Master Plan
Page 37
19.0 Relocated Lighthouse• We recommend that the existing lighthouse or a new structure be located at this juncture of the pier.• If a lighthouse were to be built, in keeping with the abstract nature of the shoreline, a sculptural form could potentially be developed, that in essence, showed the outline of a lighthouse in a sculptural form.• By outline we mean almost a wireframe structure, possibly with lighting built-in, that captured the essence of the lighthouse as it would have existed in a previous era.• We also think that this location of the park would be very suitable for an abstract metal sculpture, such as the examples we will show you today (see example of a framed window to the lake).• Upon visiting the site, with the city, we saw a very unique scene unfolding below us on the pier, when standing on top of the mound structure. There were 8 to 10 mothers pushing their baby carriages in single file along the hard surface of the pier. They were clearly undertaking exercise for themselves, in addition to walking their children. It immediately struck us that this was a very architectural and artistic scene that might be re-created in a sculptural form using silicon bronze or some other type of environmental metal. The intent would be to introduce a more structural form of art in this more structural area of the waterfront and harbor as another abstraction of the shoreline.
20.0 Revised Parking Lot• One of the most popular potential features of any waterfront park is having the ability to be able to drive up to the edge of the water, sit there and overlook the lake.• We propose that this area be much more organized than exists at present. We propose to provide car parking at a higher elevation overlooking the lake and pier. • We propose a center turnaround, designing the radius for emergency vehicles and fire trucks to reduce the impact of hard surface on this area. The center turnaround could contain vegetative or structural features.• We recommend a green separation space between the parking area and turnaround and the existing concrete pier.• In addition, a pedestrian crossing area leading to the spiral walkway up to the pavilion would define the north border of this zone.• This area would be one area that would remain open (without boat storage) for the entire year.• This area would also contain access to the linear shoreline walkway system.• The forms and design from a geometrical standpoint, in this area, combined with the headland area would continue the circular and curvilinear character of this zone of the park.
OAKVILLE HARBOURWest Shore Master Plan
Page 38
21.0 Serpentine Walkway System Transition to Pavilion• Intention in this area is to maintain the Oakville annual perennial display on the hillside, in addition to creating a serpentine pathway system that winds itself up the slope to eventually reach the pavilion zone at the highest elevation.• In essence, we are carving a circuit or terrace into the mound and hillside that will allow park users a unique set of perspectives, in terms of overviews of the lake and harbor and the various levels and elevations of the park.• The walkway could contain notched out seating areas to provide interesting viewpoints back into the harbor and boating areas, as well as the lake.• Because the mound, is there (and is basically a large area of land fill), we feel creating a serpentine walkway, provides an opportunity to make this mound look more like it is integrated into the park as an environmentally sculptural feature.• When viewed from the lower elevations in serpentine walkway will increase the dimensional quality of the mound and the elevation changes and perspective.
22.0 Garden Development on the Mound• Discovery gardens and other features could be developed along the path of the serpentine walkway to add additional interest to this feature.• The intent would be to create personal types of gardens, along this discovery, serpentine route.

Page 39
23.0 Pavilion and Plaza• At the high point of the mound, we propose a shelter pavilion zone with an associated plaza.• The pavilion could take many forms, from a modern steel type structure to a traditional masonry with roof structure in the arts and crafts style.• The plaza area would be an expansion of the space directly below and adjacent to the pavilion. This would provide opportunities for gatherings and special events.• The plaza could contain various interpretive and educational panels that reflected upon and described those different parts of the harbor, that can be directly viewed from this excellent vantage point on the waterfront.
• The plaza would include seating areas, electrical connections for heating, special equipment, sound equipment, speakers, and specialized lighting.• The design of the pavilion should be closely tied into the design of the new washroom building and maintenance structure for the park.• Our initial feelings are that the structures should not be too modern, but rather should be modern interpretations of classic structures.• There are other opportunities in this area for sculpture gardens or special theme gardens tied into the interpretation and history of Oakville Harbour.• We would intend to keep ample open-space grassed areas to the west of the pavilion, to allow the creation of a ‘throw about’ space where various activities such as kite flying, kicking around a ball, having a picnic, and other such miscellaneous activities could occur.• The pavilion area could also provide an opportunity for windows into the lake sculptures or abstract forms that pointed out to the users, historical or cultural aspects of the waterfront.
OAKVILLE HARBOURWest Shore Master Plan
Page 40
24.0 Pathway Nodal Area• This area, the park will remain largely as it exists now. We would propose that the central node, which connects the pathways coming from the entrance road, to the stairs, to the pavilion, and to the lower walkway areas, be developed in a little more detail; and to include wayfinding and directional information for park users.
25.0 Parking Expansion• We propose that parking be expanded in this area to the south side to mimic that which exists on the North Side.
26.0 Park Maintenance Washroom Building Zone• The washroom building is located at the approximate south east corner of the existing park maintenance building.• The building will have accessible washrooms.• Pathways will lead from the building to the corner of Forsythe and Anderson. The existing stairs will be removed.• The remaining area of this block which is the existing maintenance building roof will be turned into parkland.• The existing stairs located south of the proposed new washroom building will be widened and brought up to current standards.• New connections will be made to existing parking lot.
27.0 Parking and Boat Storage Space• This area will be widened slightly to contain parking on both sides with a wider road• We propose that the waterfront edge walkway be widened to the minimum 3.5 m.• We propose to also create a small green space on the north side to make the transition between the hard surface area and the waterfront edge walkway.• This area will continue to be used for boat storage.
28.0 Public Shoreline Access• The intent in this area is to widen the public access pathway, adjacent to the waterfront edge to 3.5 m.• In addition to the widening of the pathway, we propose to add seating areas overlooking the water.
OAKVILLE HARBOURWest Shore Master Plan
Page 41
29.0 Transitional Node From Lower Level Walkway to Public Washroom Building• This area may change depending on the final layout of the public washroom building and maintenance operations building.• It is an important node, as a transition between the marina operations zone, the public washroom zone, and the linear waterfront pathway.
30.0 Linear Public Access to Previously Private Waterfront Edge• We propose to provide public access to the waterfront along this edge leading toward the existing Marina building.• Currently this area is fenced off and non-accessible to the public.• We propose a combination of waterfront edge plus green space plus a 3.5 m walkway, which continues around the previously private area to the launch ramp zone.
OAKVILLE HARBOURWest Shore Master Plan
Page 42
31.0 Existing Stairway Deleted• We propose that the existing stairway, be eliminated.• We propose to keep the stairway further to the north.
32.0 Existing Steep Vegetated Slope• Our recommendations for this area are to reinforce and enhance the existing slope with the primary view towards erosion control and visual improvement.• At the base of the slope we propose to create a new 3.5 m walkway, complete with a low decorative railing, which separates the walkway from the marina parking lot.• This new 3.5 m wide walkway will also contain pedestrian level lighting. In order to improve safety and visibility factors.
33.0 Waterfront Edge Treatment at Marina Building• The concept for this area is to create public access to the full length of waterfront around the Marina Building.• This includes the addition of green space and to separate access walkways.• The walkway immediately adjacent to the docks, is for the private use of boaters to gain access to their boats.• That access is through a series of gates.• The gates are part of a low decorative railing which would have a height of 1.2 m.• A small green space would separate the railing from the private walkway.• Interior to the new fence would be a 3.5 m wide public walkway system with full visual access to the waterfront.• In the future, if the boat club was changed from private to public, the gates could be maintained in an open position.
34.0. Marina Building• The Marina Building is proposed to be better defined by the addition of green space around the exterior, and elimination of asphalt paving and boat storage on the south.• The displaced boat storage for five to eight boats is being made up elsewhere on site.• The waterfront side of the building would contain a private patio, which would be fenced off and accessible from the interior of the building.• Exterior to the private patio is the public access walkway, and the private boater access to the docks.
35.0 Linear Walkway, and Vegetation Buffer• The linear edge along this zone will be the same as occurs around the Marina Building to the walkway connecting the public system to Tannery Park is a combination of private and public walkways.• In the current location of the lighthouse play area and cabin building, we are proposing a green buffer space to separate the parking lot from the waterfront edge.• The northern culmination of this space ends up at the access point to launch ramp.
OAKVILLE HARBOURWest Shore Master Plan
Page 43
36.0 Parking Lot and Boat Storage• It has been determined that the utility of the marina and boating area at present is at a minimal standard.• We propose to expand the boating utility area to allow an approximate 25 to 30% increase in hard surface areas for parking and boat storage.• In addition, this enlarged area will provide a better space for maneuvering cranes and other maintenance equipment used for marina purposes.• The parking lot will be well defined on all borders by curbs and green space. • The west border will be contained by a decorative fence which protects the widened pedestrian access along base of the steep slope bank.• We propose to use a change in material from concrete asphalt to define road and circulation areas within the parking lot. These are not curbs, but rather concrete bands that define the internal roads and access to the launch ramp.• All existing chain-link fencing will be removed so that access is open to both private boaters and the public.• The main future expansion of the parking lot is north of the launch ramps, included with improvements to the entrance road; this area would also provide for a larger turning radius into the north boating utility and storage area.• The north expansion area would provide ample room for storage of trailers used at the launch ramp.• In summary, the intent is to have a much cleaner and well-defined edge area to major pedestrian access, the first being along the waterfront and the second alone the bottom bank of the slope; and to expand the hard surface area used for boating activity, storage and parking.
37.0 Launch Ramp Zone• The launch ramp would remain in its existing location.• The area round launch ramp would be widened to provide more hard surface area for pedestrians and boaters.• The top zone would connect the boater to the north, and public to the south pedestrian pathway systems.• Both pedestrian path entrance systems would contain wayfinding and interpretive information features.• It is recommended that the existing cabin be relocated to another more appropriate site, or in a less conspicuous location on this site.
38.0 Pedestrian Node at Existing Staircase• We propose to keep and improve the existing staircase at this location.• At the bottom of the staircase we propose to develop a pedestrian node which connects a 3.5 m wide walkway south to Tannery Park. A connection across the parking lot to the waterfront pedestrian path, and a connection north to the boater area.• Staircase would be developed in a similar fashion to the staircase at the main waterfront Park, using steel structures and hand rails and safety treads.• We also propose to create a little wider green space around this node to help define the entrance road more clearly, and to create a clearly defined pedestrian crosswalk across the main road into the boater area.• This wider green space, will provide an opportunity to create a larger buffer against the pulling out boats.
OAKVILLE HARBOURWest Shore Master Plan
Page 44
39.0 Parking Lot Expansion Area• As indicated previously the intent in this area is to increase the usable hard surface footprint for boating purposes.• The entrance road to the north will be wider and more direct. Approximately located at the western boundary of the existing parking and mast storage.• This widened area will provide much greater room for crane and other vehicles maintaining or pulling out boats.• This expanded hard surface should allow for an additional 10 to 20 boats to be stored during winter.
40.0 Boater Utility Area and Linear Edge Improvements• We propose to simplify and widen the pedestrian access edge from this location north to the limits of the property.• The widened walkway would be wide enough to accommodate a parks vehicle• The widened walkway would also accommodate, electrical plug-ins and other utilities built into the section.• The edge would be designed with a safety edge rail and tie-ups.• The entire waterfront edge from this point north would be accessible to the public.• The intent is to have a simple, functional, wide access edge, with lighting and utility built in, and incorporated into the overall furnishing system design of the project.
41.0 Pedestrian Access and Green Zones• The area surrounding the rectangular inlet, is intended to be simplified by providing a green buffer strip between the widened walkway edge and the widened crane and vehicle access road. Possible picnic table area.• There will also be a pedestrian crossing at this location for users entering the park along the main entrance road and from the new condominium developments north of the park.• The widened access roads will provide easier access to the inlet and the northerly boat removal area.
42.0 Crane Lift Out Area• We propose to expand this area and simplify the edges. In addition, we propose a widened radius to connect this zone to the wider access road.
43.0 Below Bridge Mast Storage Zone• The easterly half of the hard surface area below the existing Lakeshore Road bridge will be fenced with a removable fencing system for storage of masts.• The removable fencing system will allow for this zone to be used for parking or other purposes during the summer season.• Vertical boat storage racks would be incorporated into this zone.
OAKVILLE HARBOURWest Shore Master Plan
Page 45
44.0 Existing Slope Zone, and Staircase• The concept in this area is to improve the visual appeal of the sloped area from Lakeshore Road down into the park.• This includes removal of the existing staircase, which is rarely used.• The information kiosk currently located in this area would be relocated to the area around the launch ramp.• Proposed treatments would include tree planting and simplification of shrub and ground covers with the intent of minimizing maintenance and maximizing visual impact.
45.0 Redefined Entrance Road• It is intended to more clearly define the bottom of the main entrance road and it’s transition into the parking lot area.• This would include containment of the pedestrian pathway systems with defined crosswalks and concrete curb edges.• A larger buffer area at the base of the existing stacked armor stone wall, is also proposed.
46.0 Refined Entrance Road and Pedestrian Sidewalk• We propose a minimum 1.5 m wide concrete sidewalk be placed on the east side of the main entrance road.• This sidewalk will provide a new public access separated from the road surface from the Lakeshore Road area, and upper neighborhoods in the north park district.
47.0 Improved Entrance Road• We propose to simplify the existing entrance road by eliminating the current island and orienting the entrance road to more of a 90° angle to the main street.• Improvements to the entrance would include full radius to allow for large machines such as cranes to easily enter the park, and to meet current emergency and fire vehicle turning radii.• Improvements would also include a park entrance sign and wayfinding sign along with a pedestrian sidewalk located along the south edge of the road.• Planting lighting and other improvements are recommended to improve the visual appeal of this important entrance to the park.
48.0 Pedestrian Connection to New Steps North of Lakeshore• A small green space and stairway is being constructed on the North side of Lakeshore Road adjacent to the condominium development under construction.• This will provide safer more up to date access from Lakeshore Road down to the park and replaces the steps currently existing on the south side.

OAKVILLE HARBOURWest Shore Master Plan
Next Steps and Conclusions
Next Steps
Outlined below as an implementation strategy are “Next Steps” to be taken for the enhancement of the west shore of Oakville Harbour (in no particular order):
� Identify distinct projects based on immediate need (i.e. failing shoreline protection along west shore of 16 Mile Creek and Lake Ontario shorelines);
� Prioritize distinct projects in relation to improvements for projects all ready in motion (i.e. new washroom building being designed in conjunction with new site development in immediate area);
� Initiate applications with various approval bodies to address improvements to west shoreline, filling, fish habitat;
� Complete approval process to adopt this document as a guideline for future development;
� Address current lease negotiations to ensure a more functional and publicly accessible shoreline and marina facility;
� Identify shared improvement projects such the outfall from the Region of Halton’s waterworks plant;
� Identify partnering opportunities with local businesses and business improvement area in the downtown core;
� Identify and apply for federal and provincial funding opportunities for infrastructure replacements and shoreline improvements;
� Initiate project phasing in conjunction with projected and identified park improvement budgets in coming years;
� Identify and initiate process to take landscape maintenance budgets to a higher level than those currently applied;
OAKVILLE HARBOUR West Shore Master Plan
OAKVILLE HARBOURWest Shore Master Plan
Page 51
During the public open house, two items related to adjacent areas outside the scope of work were identified for improvements and are recommend as projects in conjunction with Works Department of the Town of Oakville:
� Sidewalk deck improvements to the existing Lakeshore Road bridge; and � Improved pedestrian connection from Waterworks Park along Kerr Street
Operational maintenance issues including geese, snow removal and security will be addressed outside of the scope of this master plan.
Conclusions
The Oakville Harbour West Shore Master Plan presents the opportunity to enhance the ‘green necklace’ that connects the greater waterfront system along Lake Ontario.
The design philosophy has identified and highlighted the experiential opportunities along Oakville Harbour and the Lake Ontario waterfront (from Tannery to Walker Street Promenade and Waterworks Park). Multiple meetings with staff and stakeholders were used to direct project development and decisions – the outcomes will guide meaningful development of these parks.
The proposed recreational resource is provided for those who prefer to meander, sit and contemplate one of the most spectacular views along 16-Mile Creek/ Oakville Harbour and Lake Ontario. Overall, the park system is proposed to be flexible, with greater offerings for a quiet neighbourhood park under preserved mature trees, shady places for dog walking and picnicking, locations to fish, launch/haul out, store and dock boats and improve cohesion and identity to Oakville’s recreation system as well as improve Lake Ontario’s waterfront.
Proposed marina facilities improvements will better reflect safety and security needs of dock users, boats and the general public wanting access to the area. Both the casual pedestrian and the avid boater will be welcomed with updated facilities and clear direction to allow for the most enjoyable experience by all.
As a result the proposed master plan for the west shore of the Harbour has character related to both harbour and community. Within the scope of the four parks, the shoreline of Lake Ontario is highlighted to provide the best opportunity to get close to the waters edge allowing for opportunities to create habitat, and diversity in edge character and amenities.
Overall the West Shore Master Plan reflects the benefits of working closely with staff and stakeholders; and excellence in waterfront design and development – the resulting master plan enhances the overall harbour and the local and greater Oakville community. Thereby, ensuring this will be an important recreational and community resource as well as a significant tourist destination.

Introduction
John George Associates Inc. are developing a park master plan for Oakville Harbour and the associated park areas. John George Associates Inc. has requested that Urban Forest Innovations Inc. prepare the tree preservation report as required by the Town of Oakville.
This report provides an inventory of the trees on the site. The report outlines the current condition and preservation recommendations for all inventoried trees. Trees recommended for removal will also be identified.
Field Observations
The initial site and field observations were made on March 31P
th, and revisited on June 10th, 2008. There was no construction activity on the site. Trees on the site were measured for diameter at 1.3 meters above grade, assessed for health, structure and risk. All of the specimens were individually tagged and referenced on a site map provided by John George Associates Inc. Four hundred and fifty four trees are included in the tree inventory.
Discussion
The tree inventory is provided in Table 1, Appendix 1. A brief explanation of the assessment categories follows:
Tree Number- this number refers to the number on the site plan and on the tree.
Species- the common and botanical name for each tree is provided.
DBH- this refers to diameter (in centimetres) at breast height and is measured at 1.3 m above the ground for each tree.
Trunk Integrity (T.I.) - this is an assessment of the trunk for any defects or weaknesses. It is measured on a scale of poor, fair, good.
Canopy Structure (C.S) - this is an assessment of the scaffold branches and the canopy of the tree.This is also measured on a scale of poor, fair, good.
Canopy Vigour (C.V.) - this is an assessment of the health of the tree and assesses the amount of deadwood and live growth in the crown as compared to a 100% healthy tree. The size, colour and amount of foliage are also considered in this category.
Crown Width (C.W.) – this is width of the tree’s crown in meters.

Tree Removals
Trees 17159, 17162, 17223, 17757, 17816, 17824, 17846, 17871, 17874, 17877, 17892, 25926, 25971, 25974, and 26028 are dead or beyond the point of preservation and are recommended for immediate removal.
Tree Preservation
The recommendations section provides guidelines for the protection of the trees from any proposed construction activity and the activities that will be unacceptable within tree preservation areas.
The following recommendations pertain to particular trees on the site:
1. Trees found in the inventory with deadwood present should be pruned. The pruning should be prioritized on the size and location of the deadwood. Large deadwood and deadwood observed over or near to the paths and roads should be the top priority.
2. Several Austrian pine trees have been with observed with Spheropsis (formerly known as Diploda Tip Blight). This disease can be remedied by pruning out small infected areas within the tree and thinning to allow for better wind penetration through the crown. Trees found with over 50% of the crown infected are recommended for removal and replacement.
3. Cables have been recommended for trees found with tightly included stems.
4. Trees found with fences, ivy, movable obstacles or other trees that impede their natural growth have been observed and recorded. We recommend that the obstacles be removed to allow for the trees unobstructed development.
Conclusions
There are four hundred and fifty four trees associated with this project. Most of the inventoried treeswere found to be in good health and condition. Fifteen trees are recommended for immediate removal. Tree preservation recommendations have been provided for trees that may be affected by construction activities in their rooting zones.

Recommendations
The following is a list of practical considerations for the construction phase of the project that applies to all trees that may be impacted by the construction.
1. No groundbreaking activities or demolition should occur until all tree preservation requirements have been met. Of primary concern is the erection of proper hoarding to establish the tree preservation zones (TPZ).
2. A consulting arborist should be consulted for all work that impacts the tree preservation zone.
3. The location of the tree preservation zone should be clearly indicated on the site plan. Fencing shall remain in place until all site work has been completed, and may not be removed, relocated, or otherwise altered without the written permission of the consulting arborist. The hoarding should be constructed of four-foot high solid sheets of plywood fastened to posts.
4. A qualified arborist will undertake proper root pruning when and if roots of retained trees are to be exposed by construction activities. Exposed roots will be covered with soil or mulch as soon as possible to prevent further damage and desiccation. Root pruning prior to excavation will help prevent unnecessary damage to tree roots and is highly recommended.
5. The tree preservation zone should be posted with signs. Within the tree preservation zonethere will be no:
� Grade changes� Dumping or storage of any materials� Use of any machinery without prior approval� Landscaping with heavy machinery� Activity of any kind without permission of the arborist
6. Efforts should be made to route all underground utilities around the tree preservation zones. If this is not possible, they should be bored or tunneled under the root zone of the trees (minimum 1.6 m depth). Using traditional trenching methods, there will be significant root damage to the trees that are being preserved. Where possible it is strongly recommended that any installation of underground utilities (water, sewage or hydro) should utilize a non-destructive methodology such as directional boring, Airspade technology or hydrovac removal of soil.
7. If injury should occur to retained trees during construction, the consulting arborist should evaluate them so that appropriate treatments can be recommended and performed.

8. All contractors should be informed of the tree preservation measures and guidelines at a pre-construction meeting.
9. Monitoring of the trees and the tree preservation zones should be conducted by a consulting arborist throughout the duration of the project.

Limitations of Assessment
It is my policy to attach the following clause regarding limitations. I do this to ensure that the client is aware of what is technically and professionally realistic in retaining trees.
The assessment of the trees presented in this report has been made using accepted arboricultural techniques. These include a visual examination of all the above ground parts of the tree for structural defects, scars, external indications of decay such as fungal fruiting bodies, evidence of attack by insects, discoloured foliage, the condition of any visible root structures, the degree and direction of lean (if any), the general condition of the trees and the surrounding site, and the proximity of property and people. Except where specifically noted, the trees were not cored, probed or climbed and there was no detailed inspection of the root crowns involving excavations.
Notwithstanding the recommendations and conclusions made in this report, it must be recognized that trees are living organisms, and their health and vigour constantly change over time. They are not immune to changes in site conditions or seasonal variations in the weather conditions.
While reasonable efforts have been made to ensure that the subject trees are healthy, no guarantees are offered, or implied, that these trees or any of their parts will remain standing. It is both professionally and practically impossible to predict with absolute certainty the behaviour of any single tree or its component parts under all circumstances. Inevitably, a standing tree will always pose some level of risk. Most trees have the potential for failure under adverse weather conditions, and the risk can only be eliminated if the tree is removed.
Although every effort has been made to ensure that this assessment is reasonably accurate, the trees should be re-assessed periodically. The assessment presented in this report is valid at the time of inspection.

Re: Oakville Harbour – Coastal Processes
Dear Mr. George:
This letter report provides preliminary comment on the potential impacts on coastal processes, of proposed changes to the shoreline immediately west of the 16 Mile Creek in Oakville. These changes are proposed in the master plan for Oakville Harbour, under development by John George Associates Inc. The preliminary concept is to extend the shoreline lakeward to meet the existing west pier as shown in Figure 1. Our comments are based on a site visit undertaken on 9 April 2008 and our understanding of coastal processes in this region.
This section presents a description of the shoreline and the proposed changes, followed by a discussion of potential impacts of the changes on coastal processes.
Shoreline Description and Type
The project site is located on the north shore of Lake Ontario, west of the 16 Mile Creek in Oakville.There are two concrete-capped steel sheet pile piers at the mouth of the 16 Mile Creek. Figure 2 shows an oblique aerial view of the site. The harbour is heavily used by recreational boats, and includes docking facilities for sailboats. A check water was constructed on the inner side of the west pier in the 1990’s, to reduce wave activity inside the harbour. There is a shingle beach on the east side of the harbour, retained by the east pier and an armourstone groyne. The beach was also constructed in the 1990’s. Historical photos indicate that this shoreline was historically a shingle beach. A sediment plume from the 16 Mile Creek is visible in the photo. Plumes occur with every significant rainfall event.
Till bluffs and banks typically dominate the western Lake Ontario shoreline, except at river mouths where the shoreline dips down. The shoreline immediately west of the harbour appears to have been artificially filled at some time in the past. It is a low bank, rising approximately 2 m above water level, protected with scrap concrete and armourstone. The backshore is currently occupied by a gravel parking lot (see Figure 3).
Further west, the shoreline is also a low bank, protected by an armourstone revetment (see Figure 4). The shoreline rises gradually, then more steeply to a high bank. No beach was observed along this shoreline during the site visit, though there might be a small beach at some locations during lower water levels.

Baird Cohesive Shorelines
The shoreline in the area is classified as a “cohesive shoreline”. It is our experience that the lakebed at this location is predominantly shale and siltstone. Therefore the lakebed erosion process is very slow. The historical and natural shingle beaches along this shore were (and are in some areas) evidence of the natural process of lakebed erosion. This lakebed erosion is referred to as “downcutting”. Figure 5 shows that the process for erosion of cohesive shores consists of a translational retreat of the nearshore and backshore profile. However, at this location the process will be relatively slow given the erosion resistance associated with the sedimentary rock lakebed material.
Bathymetry
Bathymetry data were collected by the Town of Oakville 13 May 2008. The data are shown in Figure 6. The depths at the end of the pier, where the proposed lakefilling will occur, are in the range of 2 m below datum. Chart Datum for Lake Ontario is 74.2 m IGLD. Depths in the channel between the piers are greater.
Proposed Changes and Potential Impacts
The proposed changes to the shoreline include extending the shoreline lakeward to meet the existing west pier as shown in Figure 1. At the pier, this means moving the shoreline approximately 30 m lakeward of its current position. It is our understanding that the shoreline would be protected with armourstone, in the form of a revetment or stepped armourstone wall.
There are a number of coastal issues that will require investigation during the preliminary and final design stages of this project including:
�� Impact on sediment processes �� Impact on river plume and the Oakville Water Treatment Plant intake �� Impact on waves at harbour entrance �� Impact on fish habitat
A brief discussion follows.
The net direction of sediment transport along this shoreline is from east to west. As stated previously, the shoreline is characterized by narrow shingle beaches. The shingle is a product of erosion of the shale lakebed. The east pier and the mostly submerged groynes associated with Lakeside Park beach act as a barrier, trapping any alongshore drift. No beach was visible along the shoreline on the west side of the harbour during the site visit, however, there may be some loose shale on the lakebed. If the shoreline is moved lakeward, there may be some impacts on the sediment transport processes. This may result in increased deposition at the harbour entrance. However, the sediment in this area is relatively coarse (shingle size) and the changes are proposed along the downdrift shoreline. More significant impacts would be likely if the shoreline were sandy and the changes were along the updrift

Baird shoreline. Nevertheless, sediment transport processes should be considered in the design. If an alternative shoreline treatment such as a shingle beach is considered for the site, the beach may require some retaining structures to ensure that the shingle is not transported into the harbour entrance. This could be addressed during the design phase of the project.
The intakes for the Oakville Water Treatment Plant are located less than 1 km west of 16 Mile Creek. During spring runoff and storm events, there is a significant plume, often extending several kilometers offshore and alongshore. During the design phase of the work, it will be important to evaluate potential impacts of the shoreline changes on the plume advection and dispersion. Although these impacts are not expected to be significant, due to the close proximity of the WTP and the importance of the municipal water supply, it will be important to undertake this assessment. The project shoreline is located within the Source Water Intake Protection Zone.
There is potential for the proposed changes to modify the wave climate at the entrance to the harbour. Although this is not anticipated to be significant, potential changes should be assessed. There is a significant amount of boat traffic using the harbour that could be affected. The proposed changes will result in a net loss of fish habitat. This will trigger the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act. Authorization will be required under the Fisheries Act and a fish habitat compensation plan will be required. It is recommended that Fisheries and Oceans Canada and Conservation Halton be contacted early in the design process to discuss the project, alternatives and to obtain their input.
Should you have any questions or wish to discuss this letter further, please give me a call.
Sincerely, Baird & Associates
