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

Page 10: CITY OF BURLINGTON · Budget & Corporate Services Committee Report No. 8-11 Meetings of March 29, 31 and April 1, 2011. ... PowerPoint Presentation by Leo Hussey and Chris Bandak

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)

REGULAR MEETING OF COUNCIL NO. 7-11 APRIL 11, 2011

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)

COMMITTEE REMARKS:

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

Budget and for the thorough review process.

Mayor Goldring, thanked staff who responded positively to requests placed on them and

indicated that, on the four month anniversary of this Council, we should all be proud that

we are putting forward a tax rate increase of less than 1%.

and thanked staff for their leadership and dedication.
