John Birch, representing LaSalle Park Marina Association, Box 71009 Maplehurst Postal
Outlet, 484 Plains Road East, Burlington, L7T 4J8, outlined his support for Randle Reef
and encouraged Burlington to seek ownership of the water lots. Birch suggested that there
are other opportunities in addition to contributing to Randle Reef and that this is the time
to take advantage of real estate opportunities that are in and around La Salle Park and
Marina. (11-CD)
Jim Hudson, representing Bay Area Restoration Council, Life Sciences Building, Room
B130F, McMaster University, Hamilton, L8S 4K1, spoke about the condition of Randle
Reef and the importance of the project. Hudson provided a review of the progress in the
area since 1987, what has been improved in the area and what some of the benefits of this
project will be. Hudson provided a summary of funding to date. (12-CD)
Harris Switzman, representing BurlingtonGreen Environmental Association, 3281 Myers
Lane, Burlington, L7N 1K6, encouraged the City to support Randle Reef. Switzman
indicated that remediating the harbor will have significant economic, financial,
recreational, human and environmental health benefits. Switzman encouraged the City to
negotiate an agreement that will benefit the community and support the improvement of
Randle Reef. Switzman noted that there are opportunities to build partnerships, work
collaboratively, demonstrate leadership and BurlingtonGreen hopes that Burlington
Council will move forward in supporting this project. (13-CD)
Report recommending refusal of Site Plan Application for Khan Residence – 656 Northland
Avenue. (PB-10-11, March 16, 2011, Item #2)
Elaine Katz, 669 Northland Avenue, Burlington, L7T 3J6, spoke in support of the
recommendations outlined in report PB-10-11, and stated that as a resident of Northland
Avenue for 43 years, she has serious concerns with the size of this home and the design
planned. As a resident, she believes that the plans for this proposed home will leave little
room for vegetation on the property and it will be too large for the street and the
REGULAR MEETING OF COUNCIL NO. 7-11 APRIL 11, 2011
neighboring homes. She believes that approval of this site plan will set a precedent for
future building and is contrary to the urban design guidelines. (14-CD)
John Skirving, Burlington, spoke in support to the recommendations outlined in the initial
draft of report PB-1-11 but was opposed to the revised recommendation presented at
Community Development Committee by planning staff. Skirving stated that the proposed
home is not in compliance with the urban design guidelines and is too large for the
neighbourhood. (15-CD)
Gabriela Grigoriu, agent representing owner of 656 Northland Avenue, Next Project,
Toronto, spoke in support of the revised recommendation presented by staff and
encouraged Committee to approve the recommendation so that this project can move
forward. The homeowners have gone through five revisions of plans for this proposed
home and indicated that the footprint is essentially the same as the original home other
than in the backyard. An arborist has been employed to assist in ensuring that the
landscaping is preserved where possible and replaced where needed. The homeowners
are anxious to begin this proposed home and hope it‟s possible to move forward with the
process. (16-CD)
Report recommending approval for a Heritage Workshop (CM-6-11, March 15, 2011, Item #4)
Luther Holton, 47 Glenfern Avenue, Hamilton, L8P 2T6, spoke in support of the
recommendation to hold another Heritage Workshop, provided it is a significant
improvement to the last one. Holton suggested rather than focus on staff presentations
with a focus on another municipality, the focus should be on all parties involved to help
them gain a better understanding of all perspectives. (17-CD)
Correspondence from Councillor Paul Sharman regarding dogs off leash. (CD-4-11, March 25,
2011, Item #10)
Susan Bamford, Burlington, spoke in support of the staff direction from Councillor
Sharman requesting that staff look at increased enforcement or other strategies for dogs
off leash in public parks. As a resident of the Sherwood Forest Park area, many dog
owners let their dogs off their leashes. This causes others in the park to feel intimidated.
Most owners are quite far from their dogs when they are off leash; the park is being
littered with excrement, as are the soccer pitches. Bamford encouraged Committee to
support the staff direction and create another leash free park in this area, increase signage
and increase enforcement. (18-CD)
Lori Ondrey, 713 Mullin Way, Burlington, L7L 4J6, spoke in support of the staff
direction from Councillor Sharman requesting that staff look at increased enforcement or
other strategies for dogs off leash in public parks. As a resident in the Sherwood Forest
Park area, Ondrey noted an increase since 2008 in the number of people who let their
dogs run free in the park. She sees a great risk of a dangerous situation arising with any
dog off a leash in a park that is not leash free. By increasing signage throughout the park,
it will help remind dog owners of the responsibilities and by increasing enforcement it
will ensure that dog owners realize that they are impacting other residents in the
neighbourhood. Hopefully this will prevent this behaviour. (19-CD)

DELEGATIONS:
Correspondence from Danielle Pitoscia, Committee Clerk, regarding the 2011 Proposed Current
Budget. (F-03-11-3, March 17, 2011, Item # 4)
Mary Nichol, Burlington Sport Alliance, requested funding and a donation of city
resources. The Burlington Sport Alliance would like Council‟s support to develop a
broader sport policy for Burlington; an annual operations grant and financial support for
Sports Week; declaration of the week of September 17, 2011 as Burlington Sports Week;
Council to donate promotional materials and facilities for Burlington Sports Week; and
Council to participate in Sports Week events. (BCS-9)
Carrie Brooks-Joiner, Chair, Burlington Public Library Board, spoke in support of the
2011 budget increase for the Burlington Public Library. Brooks-Joiner outlined the
successes realized in 2010 which included an increase in first-time library members and
an increase of items borrowed over 2009 levels. The need for the budget is related to the
increase in demands for public library services. The library has already realized
efficiencies and is unable to respond to increased demands within the current budget
guidelines and the options to generate revenues are limited by provincial legislation
regarding user fees. (BCS-10)
Paul Mitchell, President, Creative Burlington, requested that Council approve a financial
investment of $65,000 for 2011 and continued financial support for future budgets. This
will enable Creative Burlington to continue serving the community and meet the needs
identified in the City of Burlington‟s 2006 Cultural Strategy and the 2008 Economic Impact
Study of Culture in Burlington. Mitchell provided letters of support from various arts
organizations, local museums, local artists and festival event organizers. (BCS-11)
Walter Mulkewich supported the Creative Burlington delegation for the 2011 Proposed
Current Budget. Mulkewich requested Council to consider annual funding for Creative
Burlington in order to help the City meet the needs and goals identified in the City‟s
Cultural Strategy in a cost effective way and to provide capacity building support and
communication to the local arts community. Mulkewich suggested Creative Burlington
and staff with Council should meet in order to develop an agreement for financial
support. (BCS-12)
Gary Scobie, Waterfront Access and Protection Committee, requested $45,000 for a
design competition to translate the sub-committee‟s vision for Old Lakeshore Road. This
competition would consist of hiring three professional design firms to create designs for
the area. These designs would be made available to the public for consultation and the
winning design would be brought to Council for consideration. (BCS-13)
Larry Waldron, Chair, Burlington Museums Board, requested Council to consider two
positions for the 2011 Current Budget. The positions would change the contract special
events position to permanent part-time and the curator part-time position to full-time.
These positions are required in order to maintain special events and exhibitions for the
museums. In 2010, the museums participated and focused on many areas including nine
REGULAR MEETING OF COUNCIL NO. 7-11 APRIL 11, 2011
special events, eight exhibitions, created new partnerships, launched a new website and
created a history segment for the local Cogeco station. (BCS-14)
David McKay, Burlington Civic Rose Awards Committee, requested funding for the
Burlington Civic Rose Awards. These awards have a 32 year tradition in Burlington and
the committee receives 200 to 250 nominations each year. This Committee receives the
majority of its funding through sponsors. Traditionally, there has been a Mayor‟s Cup
Award that is funded through the Mayor‟s Office and also a donation of a free facility for
the awards night. McKay asked for permanent funding to avoid appearing annually to
make the request. McKay provided a photo presentation of the winners for 2010 and the
local sponsors. (BCS-15)
Robert Hilton and Joan Gallagher-Bell, representing the Burlington Age Friendly Task
Force, requested funding for the continuation of the Age Friendly Initiative. The task
force and subcommittee framework is a dynamic model of public engagement to improve
quality of life for Burlington seniors. Gallagher-Bell requested that the City extend the
consultant‟s contract to February 28, 2012 to continue the work of the various
subcommittees. The Task Force requests that the City demonstrate further leadership by
committing $30,000 to the next phase of work. The United Way of Burlington & Greater
Hamilton will match funds of $30,000 for facilitation. Alternatively, the City could
create a staff position to fulfill this role. (BCS-16)
Jennifer Scott, Burlington Synchronized Swimming Club, asked Council to reconsider
raising user fees for community swimming pools/facilities for the 2011 Budget. Scott
suggested that leaving the rental rates at 2010 levels would maintain their membership
levels. An increase in fees would decrease membership, as the cost may be too high for
some. She stressed that not implementing the proposed 2% facility rate increase would
help the health of the community. (BCS-17)

Councillor Sharman, Thanked staff for all of their efforts in preparing the 2011 Current
