DELGATIONS A) Saskatoon Kart Racers Corp (SKR) Dave Campbell, President SKR and Jaret Waddell, Member of SKR were in attendance to speak with City Council regarding the existing land lease agreement between the City and SKR. Waddell spoke to Council regarding the track surface failing and requiring an asphalt face lift which will cost approximately $400,000. The current lease is set to expire in 5 years, SKR is looking to the City to determine their plans for the space before any further planning can be done. Waddell outlined reasons why extending the current lease or negotiating a new lease would be a good fit for both the City and SKR. Over the years the group has worked hard to enhance the track site and facility as well they have created partnerships with approximately 15 non-profit organizations that also come out and use the track. If the City is willing to extend or renegotiate the lease it is estimated that after approximately 12 – 18 months of fundraising is complete the resurfacing of the track would take place. The City has agreed to review the current lease and will get back to SKR with a final decision once they have had a chance to further discuss. Mayor Muench thanked both gentlemen for coming.

DISCUSSION ITEMS: A) RFD – Land Relocation & Land Swap In 2014, City Council approved a Land Swap request from Northern Sky Developments adjacent to Lot 9, Block 60S13885 to accommodate future road widening and utility provisions.

The project will be a major capital cost for the city and with no guarantee of funding the city would need to be committed to completing the project. Council was in favour of Administration moving forward with the application.

DELEGATIONS 3.1 RCMP Staff Sergeant Rob Eyre, spoke with City Council about recent activity in Martensville. Comparisons were provided for 2014, 2015 and 2016 and it was noted that 2014 stats were significantly lower due to the fact some files have already been purged due to the record retention policy, 2015 and 2016 stats remained similar with no obvious issues or concerns to address.

MINUTES

The report was provided to all Saskatchewan School Divisions and they were provided the opportunity to prepare a response to the report.

Squadron 574 originated in Choiceland Saskatchewan and due to lack of interest the squadron was forced to shut down, rather than dissolve the Squadron completely it was decided to bring the Squadron to Martensville.

4. REPORTS 4.1 City Manager



MINUTES

4.2 Corporate Services 4.2.1 RFD SmartHire Director of Corporate Services spoke with Council about SmartHire Unlimited Assessment Hiring System, a program the City has currently been working with on a test basis. The program advertises new job postings, screens applicants and assists in the hiring process. The program was used to hire the current Bylaw Officers as well as a CSR at the Map and proved to be a time saver in screening applicants and also reached out to a larger audience based on popular job posting sites being utilized. The program has already been included in the proposed 2017 Budget, but due to delays on approving the budget, Administration is requesting that Council approve the signing of the contract, prior to budget approval, so the program can be used in the recruitment of 2017 Summer Students. There was a discussion on the benefits of the program. A motion will come to the next Council meeting for formal approval. 4.2.2 RFD Credit Card Acceptance for Rec Facilities. In the fall of 2016, Council approved a RFD for a new website which would include online registrations and payments for recreational programs offered by the City. After some further discussion a question was raised as to whether credit cards acceptance should be included for all recreation based offerings including facility rentals and walk-in admissions. It was noted that fees to accept credit cards would range from 2.5 % to 3.0 % of the transaction value. Currently the City is only looking at credit card acceptance for recreational programs and facility rentals. City Council was in favor of proceeding with the acceptance of credit cards for the recreation operations of the City. A motion will come to the next Council meeting for formal approval. 4.3 City Clerk 4.3.1 RFD – PPE Policy & Procedure. City Clerk Budnick reviewed with City Council some proposed changes to Policy #80/11 City Supplied Clothing/Personal Protective Equipment. Changes included City Supplied Clothing amounts as well as some minor wording changes. City Council had no questions or concerns. A motion will come to the next Council meeting for formal approval.



MINUTES

4.4 Director of Recreation and Community Services 4.4.1 RFD – 2017 Aquatic Rates Aquatic fees are reviewed annually in conjunction with operational costs to establish yearly fees for public swim, swimming lessons and rentals to offset annual operation costs. Fees are always reviewed in similar areas to make sure the rates are in line. This year there is a proposed increase of 5% this would reflect a 2% increase in fees (bases on cost increases) and 3% would reflect the credit card usage charges. A question was raised about offering different options such as Toonie Tuesday swim or Twilight hours. It was noted that discussions have begun on organizing some of those events. No questions were raised regarding the rates. A motion will come to the next Council meeting for formal approval. 4.4.2 RFD – Pump Track Concept Design Work on a Skate Park in Kinsmen Park is set to begin construction in the spring of 2017, during the conceptual design process of the skate park, the skate park committee discussed adding a pump track adjacent to the skate park. A pump track provides a BMX type of riding. Some cost estimates were provided on the development of a pump track and came in around $75,000.00 with a concept design costing $7,000.00. A fundraising committee in conjunction with the City have been looking at in-kind donations/sponsorship that businesses could provide towards the construction of the skate park to offset construction costs. It is the hope of the committee and the City that the pump track could be constructed through the in-kind donations/ sponsorship process rather than 100% from budget. Before these donations/sponsorships can be secured a Conceptual Design needs to be completed. Administration is requesting that council approve the City to engage New Line Skate Park to create the conceptual design. No questions were asked. A motion will come to the next Council meeting for formal approval. 4.5 Director of Infrastructure & Planning 4.5.1 Snow Removal Bylaw #1-2017 Director of Infrastructure and Planning reviewed the proposed bylaw with Council. Areas highlighted were the increase in penalty fees, as well as the development of a Bylaw Notice which would be used to help educate and inform the residents of infractions they may have committed. Council liked the proposed bylaw changes. A motion will come to the next Council meeting for formal approval.



MINUTES

4.5.2 RFD – Main Street Extension Director of Infrastructure and Planning Doxey reviewed with Council four options for the construction of Main Street East of 10th Avenue which were presented back in 2015. Administration applied for the New Build Canada Fund grant program throughout the Provincial Territorial Infrastructure Component, if successful the project would be split three ways between the City of Martensville, Federal Government and Provincial Government. Further direction is needed for the desired treatments for the island or boulevards prior to tendering. City Council was in favour of having an additional tender drafted for the landscaping of those spaces. Once a decision has been made regarding the grant, administration will notify Council. Construction documents are being completed by the Consulting Engineer with the ability for the City to tender the project in the near future. 4.6 Community/Economic Development Manager (CEDM) 4.6.1 CEDM Report CEDM Shewchuk reviewed with City Council things he has been working on over the past month. Work continues on the Economic Development Tax Incentive Bylaw with SREDA. Progress on the New City Website is coming along and is scheduled to go live early March.

Report to the Community has been distributed. 5. COUNCIL MEMBERS ROUND TABLE DISCUSSION: 5.1 Western Canada AAA Championship Bantam Sponsorship The City of Martensville was approached by the Organizing Committee with a sponsorship package to support the event taking place from March 30 – April 2.

Request for Decision

Date: February 15, 2017 Topic: Street Townhouse amendment

Background In 2015, Council adopted the new Zoning Bylaw. In this new bylaw, there was significant thought put towards the intent of each of the multiple unit dwelling options. One of these is the street town house option. The intent of the street townhouse category is to provide a housing style very similar to a single family dwellings but denser. Eg. In both cases, the owner has both a front and rear yard. Other multiple unit dwellings rarely offer this amenity available to the property owner. As such, it has become apparent that some minor amendments need to be contemplated. Firstly, the definition of street townhouse is recommended to be clarified to meet this intent. Original:

“Dwelling, Street Townhouse: a dwelling, designed as one cohesive building in terms of architectural design, which contains three or more similar attached dwelling units each of which fronts on a street, has direct access to the outside at grade and is not wholly above another dwelling.”

Proposed:

“Dwelling, Street Townhouse: a building consisting of at least three dwelling units horizontally attached, designed with a cohesive theme in terms of architectural design, with each dwelling unit located on a separate site provided access to both a registered front street and rear lane.”

Secondly, the bylaw excludes street townhouses from having more than one primary building on a site. As such, having more than one street townhouse on a site is not currently possible. One way to get the appearance of a unified block of street townhouses would be to further subdivide the site into multiple condominiums with a separate condo board for every building. Proposed:

“4.3 NUMBER OF PRINCIPAL BUILDINGS PERMITTED ON A SITE Only one principal building shall be placed on a site with the exception of dwelling groups, street townhouses, shopping centres, industrial complexes, recreation facilities, schools, hospitals and public works.”

When a number of street townhouse buildings are proposed (typically by one developer) and designed to be uniform in appearance, it is appropriate that the buildings be maintained together. However this cannot be ensured over the long-term if each building requires subdivision into its own bareland condominium. The alternative to this would be to classify the development as a Dwelling

Group, which consequently has development standards that are separate & distinct from street townhouses (i.e.: min. front setback for Street Townhouse is 3 metres; and 6 metres for a Dwelling Group). Street Townhouses have specific development regulations that are intended to suit a particular style of housing, primarily with regards to density, building setback, and access. Street Townhouse style dwellings are generally considered (arguably the most) ‘affordable’ ground-access housing types. They provide the most space (indoor and outdoor) at the lowest cost and are much cheaper to maintain and heat. They provide as much outdoor privacy as a semi-detached home while making more efficient use of the land that would be otherwise lost in side yards. Unified maintenance, when designed as one project is a contributor to this. When only one building is allowed per site, a negative effect on overall affordability is evident when having to establish multiple smaller condominium associations rather than one large entity. The rationale behind this is that by providing such things as common landscaping and building maintenance, significant savings can be achieved and a consistent streetscape for the life of the project can be maintained because there is only one development. Therefore, administration is recommending that the bylaw be amended to include street townhouses as a use where there can be more than one primary building on a site. Thirdly, the new landscaping requirements in the 2015 bylaw now require the same minimum landscaping requirements for all land uses except single family dwellings. As such, street townhouses are subject to the same landscaping requirements as multiple unit dwellings and dwelling groups. This is not consistent with the intent of street townhouses in that they are unique because they are the only type of multi-unit residential building where “common” area is not usually provided. Due to the prescribed layout of Street Townhouses (street access at front, lane access at rear), the Zoning Bylaw currently requires trees & shrubs in such quantities that they can only reasonably fit and successfully establish if distributed throughout front AND private rear yards.

This is appropriate for Dwelling Groups, where those trees would be planted in “common” areas between buildings:

In contrast, it is more difficult to require trees to be required within private back yards, similar to a single family dwelling. It would be more appropriate and simple if the required tree & shrub calculations for Street Townhouses resulted in a minimum of 1 (one) tree & two (2) shrubs per unit. It is also recommended that there be trees along the flankage to provide a buffer between the public realm on the street and the private back yards/privacy fencing. This is consistent with requirements in cities such as Saskatoon.
