Mayor Gord SchermerhornTown of Greater Napanee124 John St.Napanee, ON K7R 1HS

RE: REQUEST TO CREATE LOADING/UNLOADING ZONE ON JOHN ST.

Dear Mayor Schermerhorn,

The BIA Board recognizes the challenges that large delivery trucks create when theypark on Dundas St. to unload their products, especially for the block between John andCentre Streets. Unfortunately, the laneway access on the north side of this block is oftentoo narrow for many of these trucks (see attached images). We also recognize thatdeliveries will become even more of a challenge when the much-needed upgrade to thetown’s water and sewer services along Dundas St. begins in 2017.

In speaking with merchants, town staff and truck delivery operators, it has become clearthat the establishment of a loading zone would help alleviate this issue. Therefore, theBIA would like to propose that Council establish a dedicated “Loading/Unloading Zone”along the western side of John St. immediately north of Dundas St (see attached plan).We are asking that 3 parking spaces be dedicated to this zone.

We would also like to propose the current ‘Bus Stop” be moved to the new “Loading/Unloading Zone.” Making this additional change will consolidate the loading/unloadingand drop off/pick-up zones into one location and will help reduce the net loss of parkingspaces that will occur with the new loading zone.

We look forward to the opportunity to speak with Council on this matter.

Sincerely Yours,

The house, built sometime between 1840 and 1855, is a 1½ story timber frame structure, approximately 18 feet by 24 feet in area,with a parged rubble stone basement foundation. Built into the slope, the house affords access to the main floor from Water Street and to the basement from the yard between the house and the river. Likely originally clad in clapboard, the house was sheathed in Insulbrick sometime in the 1920s or '30s. By 1998 the board and batten siding now cladding the house had been applied.

The 5 foot wide Victorian-style veranda currently running along the east and south of the house is not original to the house and was likely added at the same time as the board and batten siding was applied. There is some evidence that there may have been an earlier veranda along the east wall. It is likely that that main floor windows and access doors were added and widened and all windows replaced at the same time the current veranda was added. Further modifications to the exterior include the addition of an entry vestibule, roughly5 by 11 feet in area, built onto the north end of the east veranda in 1999, and the mid-2000s addition of a 12 by 18 foot basement level sun room, along with the extended veranda/deck space it afforded above. The deck built into the south veranda roof, accessed from the south facing upper story windows was also likely added in the mid-2000s.

Nothing remains of the interior partition walls. The main and upper levels have been stripped back to the studs, and insulation, vapor barrier, and drywall have been applied. The central beam supporting the upper level floor joists has been left exposed. It is a hewn timber approximately eight by eight inches in cross section. The use of a hewn member might suggest an earlier age for the house. However, if the rough-sawn lumber visible in the attic is representative of the lumber used throughout the structure, it is likely that the hewn timbers used as principal supporting beams for the main and second floors and for the top plate of thesouth main floor wall were re-purposed from an older building. An iron tie rod runs between the north and south top plate members.

The basement space contains a modern bathroom and mechanical room. Windows originallylet into the stone walls to the east and the west have been bricked in. Parging on the original stone foundations provide both the exterior and interior finishes.

Possible original features include a newel post and banister post consistent with turnings of the nineteenth century on the second floor. Original wide pine flooring has survived under themodern carpets.

It is the Heritage Committee's conclusion that nothing of any architectural value remains within the structure that would suggest that the house at 18 Water Street should be preservedon the basis of its architectural merits.

Cultural Heritage Value or Interest:

18 Water Street is the west part of Lot 7 on the south side of Water Street.

The village of Napanee was laid out and surveyed in 1831. At that time, much of the undeveloped land in and around the village was part of the mass land holdings of John Solomon Cartwright. The property defined as Lot 7 on the then new Napanee Survey was purchased from Cartwright by Napanee merchant John Valentine Detlor in 1834. The sale also included the lot just to the north, between Mill and Water Streets, and the lot on the south-west corner of John and Dundas. The deed mentions houses and out buildings earningprofits and rents on these lots so it is possible that a building existed on Lot 7 as far back as the early 1830s. The first concrete evidence of a structure on Lot 7 comes in 1855 when the assessment rolls show Stauts Sager Madden living on the lot as freeholder. Madden had purchased the lot and the lot just to the north in 1840. He is identified as being a tanner on the deed so it is possible that the tannery on the lot to the north was already in existence at that time, and with it the dwelling on Lot 7.

Lot 7 was tightly associated with the tannery across the road to the north, with a succession of deeds for the property stipulating that ownership be subject to “the right of the occupants ofthe Tannery ... to enter thereon for the purpose of repairing the water pipe leading form the River to the said Tannery.”

The house appears on the 1874 Bird's Eye map of Napanee, on the 1876 Insurance Map of the village, and on several subsequent insurance maps into the 1900s. The insurance maps explicitly identify the building as a dwelling, and it appears that the structure has been occupied as a dwelling place continuously from the time it was built until recently.

To put the modest timber structure in context with development of the village of Napanee one need only look at the village-scape of the day. The latest possible date of construction for the house was 1855, only 24 years after the village had been surveyed. Macpherson House was a well established home, nearly 30 years old by then, but the Town Hall would not be built until the following year, and it would be another 9 years for the Court House and Jail to be completed. Prominent buildings along Dundas, Bridge and John streets, such as Old Post Office, the Harshaw Block, the Richeilieu Hotel and the Law Offices of Herrington Warner & Grange would have to wait until another three decades or more to grace the business district of the town. While the Gibbard House on Centre Street, also of frame construction, is contemporary to the house on Lot 7, other private residences, made of brick, would not be built for another 10 years or so.

Jane Lovell, Chair - Municipal Heritage Committee Re: 18 Wat... Page 17 of 104

Page 18: Regular Session Council - 12 Jan 2016

It is the Heritage Committee's conclusion that the cultural heritage value or interest of the house at 18 Water Street lies in its age, which predates almost all of the designated properties within the town of Napanee, and in its significance as an example of a house typical of many modest dwellings of the nineteenth century.

Recommendations:

The house at 18 Water Street East exhibits no physical attributes worthy of preservation on the basis of architectural merit. Despite the building's considerable age and its significance as a rare example of a style of dwelling of the working classes, the Heritage Committee does not feel that, in this case, these are sufficient reasons to add the property to the Municipal Heritage Register as a designated property under the terms of the Ontario Heritage Act.

That being said, the Heritage Committee would like to recommend that the structure be considered for incorporation into the re-development of the north bank of the Napanee River, if at all feasible.

One possible use of the building could serve three purposes. The building is currently fully serviced for water, sewer and electricity. By removing the modern lower level sun room, the basement area could be reworked to accommodate public washrooms accessible from the riverside pathway that would presumably be central to the riverfront re-development project. Removing the entry vestibule and providing a fully accessible entrance to the main level from Water Street would open the house for use as a tourist information centre and gallery space to showcase and sell works of local artists. Directing tourists to a prominently identified touristcentre on the riverfront, with a small number of parking spaces along the lightly used Water Street, would expose tourists to the fine vista of Springside and Conservation parks on the south bank of the river. Housing an arts gallery space modeled on the “Arts on Main” co-operative in Picton would not only provide a venue for local artist to display and sell their work, but it would also be a draw to tourists and locals alike to Napanee and to the riverfront. With the Waterfront River Pub and Terrace and the artist co-op and tourist information centre straddling Centre Street at the riverfront, there might be some opportunity to reinvigorate the commercial spaces along Centre Street between Dundas Street and the river.

Since the proposed uses for the structure would be “summer only”, many defects identified in the October 27, 2015 Infrastructure Staff Report to Council (such as inferior or insufficient heating and insulation) would not require remedial work. Other defects called out on the report would require action depending on whether the second story were to remain accessible. Despite its age of more than a century and a half, the structural components of the building appear to be sound.

The re-purposing of the house for use as public space allows this structure, which has stood prominently on the banks of the Napanee River for over 160 years, to remain useful and well cared for. More importantly, it can serve to showcase the Town of Greater Napanee's commitment to preserving and showcasing its built heritage. The story of Napanee's evolutionfrom village to a prosperous centre of commerce and industry resides in not only the grand and elaborate brick and stone buildings within the town, but also in the modest and everyday structures of our industrial past.

Jane Lovell, Chair - Municipal Heritage Committee Re: 18 Wat... Page 18 of 104

Page 19: Regular Session Council - 12 Jan 2016

If there is no way in which the house at 18 Water Street East can be repurposed for public use, the Heritage Committee recommends that all or part of the stone foundation be retained as a landscaping feature and rest area.

In all cases where all or part of the house remains visible, a plaque could be erected to informthe public of the heritage significance of the site, and to provide information about the extensive industrial history of the Napanee riverfront.

If the house cannot be retained, the Heritage Committee suggests the following means of removing it from the site:

Offer the structure at minimal cost to the public for removal to another location. Donate serviceable structural components and interior fittings to Habitat For Humanity. Sell the structure for removal of the elements of heritage value to restoration

enthusiasts or salvage companies. Of special interest would likely be the hewn beams and a rare small claw-foot bathtub.

Total destruction of materials and disposal in a landfill should be a very last resort.

Conclusion:

The Napanee Falls and the riverfront as it passes just steps from Napanee's downtown core are truly beautiful natural heritage assets and well worth promoting. The Town of Greater Napanee finds itself in the unique position where it can lead by example in its quest to encourage heritage preservation. In repurposing the house at 18 Water Street East, the municipality can preserve the structure and in so doing allow it tell a story of our past while enabling the building to be a useful and attractive component of a newly accessible riverfront.

Summary of Input: 2014 Municipal Elections Act Review

Introduction

The Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing reviews the Municipal Elections Act after each Ontariomunicipal election to determine if it meets the needs of Ontario communities. Over 3,400 submissionswere received from the public, municipal councils and staff from across the province as part of the60-day consultation period between May 28, 2015 and July 27, 2015.

As part of the consultation the ministry held a number of meetings with our partners, including theCity of Toronto, the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) and municipal clerks across theprovince. Two working groups were formed to provide advice on technical issues:

• a ranked ballot working group, involving municipal clerks, ranked ballot experts and advocatesand the Association of Municipalities of Ontario

• a municipal voters’ list working group, involving the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation,the Association of Municipal Managers, Clerks and Treasurers of Ontario, government ministriesand Elections Ontario.

This paper summarizes input received during the consultation process and is meant not to becomprehensive or reflect all submissions received. The input Will be used to help ensure the MunicipalElections Act is able to meet the needs of Ontario communities while maintaining a fair electionprocess. This report reflects the views expressed by those who participated in the review, and maynot reflect the policies of the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing.

Ranked Ballots

Most public input favoured allowing municipalities the option of using ranked ballots for futuremunicipal elections. Many submissions stressed the importance of including a public consultationcomponent in the ranked ballot framework.

Not all submissions from municipal councils addressed ranked ballots. Those that did were divided insupport or opposition. Several council resolutions also took a neutral position and expressed interestin revisiting the issue once more information on ranked ballot processes and a framework areavailable for review.

Some common concerns raised about ranked ballot implementation were: ballot design andcomplexity, logistical challenges related to changing voting systems and challenges around votereducation and understanding. Some submissions suggested a range of educational materials be

produced, including tools for municipalities considering ranked ballots for future elections.

Some input identified the importance of balancing clear, consistent provincial direction in the wayranked ballots are used across Ontario with a sufficient level of local flexibility. For example, severalrespondents recommended local decisions on whether to use ranked ballot technology and how todesign the ballot.

Campaign Finance

Many submissions cited the need for greater clarity of campaign finance provisions, and suggestedmore definitions and simpler, clearer rules and prescribed forms.

Third Party Advertising

Input regarding third party advertising was varied. Some submissions asked for third party advertisingto be banned and some supported the development of a framework to regulate third party advertising.Both the provincial and federal frameworks were cited as possible models upon which to build amunicipal regulatory framework.

Accessibility

The most consistent recommendation for greater accessibility in municipal elections was to increasethe use of alternative voting methods, including telephone and internet voting. Submissions alsorecommended further considerations for making campaign communications, events, and materialsmore accessible to continue to reduce barriers to participation in municipal elections.

Enforcement

Input emphasized the need to strengthen compliance with the Municipal Elections Act, includingconsistency in the way in which rules are interpreted (by candidates and compliance auditcommittees) and enforced by the courts.

Voters’ List

The accuracy of the municipal voters’ list was a common concern. Many submissions noted that aninaccurate voters’ list causes significant challenges for voters, municipal staff and electionadministrators both leading up to and on voting day.

The most common suggestion was to look for new approaches to developing the municipal voters’ list.A working group was formed to examine the voters’ list as part of this review and will continue toevaluate and identify solutions for longer-term improvements.

Other Ideas

General recommendations received from the public, councils and municipal staff from across theprovince raised a number of other suggestions, including:

• shortening the municipal election campaign and nomination periods• examining the requirements to become a candidate in order to help reduce the number of

candidates who are not serious about running for election.

Next Steps

The ministry is assessing the input received during the consultation and is developing policy options toimprove the Municipal Elections Act. The intention is to bring recommendations for amendments to

Market Draw Basket:

- Vendors will be asked to donate a prize to a draw basket (only once per season) - We will do one basket per month (5 months/baskets) - The draw will take place the 1st Market Day of each month (except for May –

begin this in June) - The public will receive a ballot to put in the draw by purchasing an item from one

of the Vendors o No minimum value required

Staff Report to Council

To: Mayor Schermerhorn and Members of Council Date: January 12, 2016 Prepared By: John Koenig, Assistant Fire Chief Presented By: John Koenig, Assistant Fire Chief Re: Emergency Services – Fleet – Purchase of New Pumper Truck

Staff Recommendation: That Council receive for information the Emergency Services – Fleet – Purchase of New Pumper Truck report; And further that Council authorize the purchase of one (1) new 2016 stock Pumper Truck to replace a 25 year old Pumper Truck; And further that the vehicle be purchased from Dependable Emergency Vehicles of Brampton, Ontario at a cost of $346,000 to be taken from the Fleet and Equipment Reserve.

Financial Implications; $346,000.00 from the Fleet and Equipment Reserve Accessibility Implications: This report may be available in alternate format upon request. Information Technology Implications: After a review it was determined there are no

Information Technology Implications.

Energy Management Implications: After a review it was determined there are no Energy Management Implications.

Background Information The existing Pumper Truck was slated in the 2015 – 2018 Fleet Replacement Plan to be replaced in the year 2017. However due to a major mechanical issue and the age of the vehicle, (25 years old) this costly repair could not be justified for this vehicle. After review of the Fleet Replacement Plan and discussion with Infrastructure Services the Pumper Truck was moved forward to 2016 and the Loader moved back to 2017 to offset the cost of this move.

Emergency Services Re: Purchase of New Pumper Page 49 of 104

Page 50: Regular Session Council - 12 Jan 2016

After discussion with Manufactures the decision was made to look for a stock or demo vehicle as a replacement. To order a custom built truck at this time the delivery date would be the end of 2016 or 2017. Furthermore due to the American dollar the cost would be in the area of 400,000 dollars.

Discussion The following is the cost of the existing stock Pumper Trucks available.

Emergency Services Re: Master Fire Plan Update Page 51 of 104

Page 52: Regular Session Council - 12 Jan 2016

Discussion The following is a chart as to the status of the recommendations from the 2013 Master Fire Plan. There are three (3) recommendations that have not been worked on due to the lack of credible data. With the new Record Management System that was put in place in 2013 the department now has been collecting appropriate data to make recommendations to Council.

Staff Report to Council

To: Mayor Schermerhorn and Members of Council Date: January 12, 2015 Prepared By: Gib Garrett, Planning Clerk Presented By: Gib Garrett, Planning Clerk Re: Infrastructure Services - Development Charges Annual

Adjustment

Staff Recommendation: That Council receive for information the Infrastructure Services – Development Charges – Annual Adjustment Report; And further that Council impose an annual inflation adjustment of 1.4% for the year 2016 to Schedule B in accordance with Section 10 (2) of the Development Charges By-law No. 2012-03.

Financial Implications: Upon review, there are no financial implications. Accessibility Implications: This report may be available in alternate format upon request. Information Technology Implications: Upon review, there are no information technology implications. Energy Management Implications: Upon review, there are no energy management implications.

Background Information: Section 10 (2) of the the Development Charges Bylaw 2012-03 states: “The Development Charge shall be adjusted annually on January 1st of each year to reflect the change in Construction Prices as reported in the Statistics Canada Quarterly Construction Price Statistics publications (catalog no. 62-007).”

Infrastructure Services (Planning) Re: Development Charges A... Page 54 of 104

Page 55: Regular Session Council - 12 Jan 2016

Discussion Bob Clark of Clark Consulting Services has reviewed the Construction Price Statistics to determine the extent that Development Charges shall be increased. It is staff’s recommendation that an increase of 1.4% in the Development Charge is reasonable as this reflects the current adjustment as published by Statistics Canada. Attached is a copy of the Development Charges Brochure as well as an updated version of Schedule B to be enacted by the passing of a Council resolution.

We are prepared to calculate the indexed amounts with an explanation for Staff and Council and revise your Development Charges Brochure to reflect the indexed amount. The indexing is usually accomplished in January. We will be pleased to undertake this work on your behalf. The current adjustment as published by Statistics Canada is 1.4 %. Maintaining your Development Charges with an Annual Index ensures that the moneys collected are sufficient to meet that portion of the Municipality’s growth related capital needs in the future. Upon your authorization we would prepare the necessary resolution, the supporting documentation and the revised brochure for your use. Sincerely,

Staff Report to Council

To: Mayor Schermerhorn and Members of Council Date: January 12th, 2016 Prepared By: Kristie Clement, Manager of Environmental Compliance Peter Dafoe, General Manager of Infrastructure Services Presented By: Peter Dafoe, General Manager of Infrastructure Services Re: Infrastructure Services – Preliminary results of Water Street

Boat Launch Public Open-House

Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that Council receives for information purposes, a summary of the feedback from the December 16th, 2015 Public Open House regarding the Water Street Boat Launch in Greater Napanee; And further that Council approve the proposed (revised) timeline as noted below.

Financial Implications Any Staff recommendations for improvement will be included into the 2016 budget deliberations. Accessibility Implications After review, it was determined that there are no accessibility implications at this time. Information Technology Implications After review, it was determined that there are no information technology implications at this time. Energy Management Implications After review, it was determined that there are no energy management implications at this time. Background Information Improvements to the Water Street Boat Launch have been deemed necessary to enhance launch efficiency and to ensure safety to traffic, boaters and pedestrians. Staff arranged for a public open house to solicit feedback on Boat Launch design concepts from the community.

Infrastructure Services (Utilities) Re: Preliminary Results ... Page 60 of 104

Page 61: Regular Session Council - 12 Jan 2016

The above mentioned event, which took place on the evening of December 16th, 2015 at the Strathcona Paper Center, was advertised to the public via a local newspaper, the Town website, myFM radio and was hand delivered to adjacent properties to the site(s) in discussion. Council was informed of the Open-House via email as well as in the December 15th, 2015 Service Area Update. Please note that the information presented at the public open house was solely initiated to enhance discussions and solicit community opinion. The two concepts are not preliminary designs or staff recommendations at this point in time. A total of 19 individuals signed in at the event and all were encouraged to submit their suggestions/opinions by January 11th, 2016. To date, 14 residents have submitted comments for review and Staff are proposing that the comment period be extended until February 1st, 2016. The display boards from the event have been made available at 45 Commercial Court for interested residents who weren’t able to attend the December 16th Public Open House. Discussion Challenges for Consideration There is a need to provide access to the waterfront, while maintaining safety for traffic, boaters and pedestrians. Parking at the existing lot is an issue, as is launch efficiency for motor boats, kayaks, canoes and all other user groups. It is necessary to develop a strategy that will fit well with Conservation Park, while keeping costs to a minimum and appropriately handling boater traffic up to and during construction. Mitigating timely and cost appropriate measures are essential to alleviate the current problem. Preliminary Findings from December 15th, 2015 Open-House Upon review of comments that have been received to date, the feedback can be condensed into the following categories:

COMMENTS

from the December 16th, 2015 Public Open House re: Water Street Boat Launch (submitted prior to January 06

th, 2016)

____________________________________________________________________________

I am writing with my concerns about the Draft Concept Plan that would locate a boat launch on the east site of Water Street next to the Centre Street bridge. Firstly positioning it on that side of the bridge will limit the size and style of boats that can use it because the bridge height would be limiting. Secondly waterfront should not be used for parking lots and there are several far more qualified areas for the purpose that would open the range and style of boats that could make use of the launch. Furthermore the water front in front of the Queen Elizabeth Building was originally dock and should be returned to that purpose again to allow for more boat traffic to come to our lovely town and spend their money uptown. That dock would not necessarily need hydro power – it could be docking only. ____________________________________________________________________________

I attended the open house at the SPC to review the boat launch plan. I did have a concern that the water depth was not sufficient at the Sundial Park location, however I understand the depth is 9'. I like the idea of using this park while keeping elements of the green space as part of the design. Have the Lion's Club been approached for their input. I can't remember if the sundial was removed; it was a millenium project and I'm wondering if the sponsors were contacted also.

It would be nice to see this green space also integrated into a waterfront trail system. I am a firm believer in providing waterfront access to the community. People congregate here and I think the upgraded trail alongside the south side of the river is a great example of this.

Can't remember the details of the plan, but I am assuming there would be some spillover opportunities for trailer storage at the current lot. ____________________________________________________________________________

Parking should be on Lions Park side and make current boat launch almost exclusively for boaters. It may not be all restaurant parking on lower parcel. Sometimes two or three people meet there and go fishing together. 1 boat, 3 maybe 4 vehicle sit most of day. ____________________________________________________________________________ What do you like about the Draft Concept Plan? None. Why use good parkland and green space to make a parking lot to solve a problem for the Waterfront which the Town created by letting them use it instead of boaters. Are there any aspects of the Draft Concept Plan that are of concern to you? Inappropriate use of green space on the River when there are better alternatives. Traffic concerns at Centre Street. Poor concept for a quick fix for a problem created by the Town. No long term plan for River development. ____________________________________________________________________________ Are there any aspects of the Draft Concept Plan that are of concern to you? I feel the existing boat ramp should remain in use and parking for the boaters be available during the months of fishing, etc. There is paved parking up top along Water Street for the

Infrastructure Services (Utilities) Re: Preliminary Results ... Page 63 of 104

Page 64: Regular Session Council - 12 Jan 2016

restaurant and street parking. In the winter months the restaurant patrons can use the whole parking lot. Our docking facilities on the South side need updating! ____________________________________________________________________________ Based on the Concept B drawing this proposed parking lot would have space for roughly 50 cars and approximately 8 spaces for boat trailers, assuming the boat launch spot remains as it is today. As the area is today there is, so far as I can see, more than adequate space for restaurant parking and to spend money on this area is unnecessary other than perhaps resurface and level the space on the lower level for boat trailers. Cars should not clutter our lovely waterfront any more than they already do. This entire waterfront area is a gem and is used by locals and visitors alike year round. As for concept A, forget the whole thing. This is and never will improve what is now a park which is used by all of us from time to time. If it were to be made as a parking lot, well there goes the park forever. You can’t make another one. So, leave it alone. All of these grandiose ideas are find were our town finances able to cover these proposals. I would suggest first and foremost you look around at our roads which are deteriorating faster than they are being repaired and as for sidewalks well they are so broken in so many places that their repair and replacement is an essential and immediate need. This is more important that more parking on the waterfront. Concerning the dock on the south side of the river, in some areas the water are almost too shallow for some of the boats to tie up on that side. Dredging is needed if we are to encourage and keep visitors who arrive by boat and pay for the dockage. ____________________________________________________________________________ Are there any aspects of the Draft Concept Plan that are of concern to you? Yes, costs are a big concern. When the Riverfront Restaurant was approved by the planning dept. why wasn’t parking considered? We don’t need a new boat ramp; we need to clearly mark out restaurant parking and boat ramp parking and enforce it. The town is wasting money paving the old parking area; gravel (compressed) would work just as well. To build a new boat ramp we lose green space (Lions Park). We should be enhancing green space and making it attractive to potential users. ____________________________________________________________________________ We need Bylaw Enforcement. We need to maintain what we have. We need to stop plowing a boat ramp in the winter (nobody uses there boats in the winter) save tax money it was never plowed before. Pave the lot and mark it clearly. When the enforcement officer is called get on it. Save tax dollars and keep what we have. ____________________________________________________________________________ Richard Street has potential access for a boat launch. Would like to see pump out facilities and fuel available. Oceans and Fisheries may have a different comment/opinion than the Conservation Authority. How big is the OPP boat? Will it fit? Cost is unfortunate because the existing launch has worked until restaurant arrived. Concept A is beautiful, the burden to tax payers is disappointing. If we go ahead with Concept A we are giving the restaurant property. What about paid parking at existing lot. Enforce the lot. ____________________________________________________________________________ If boat launch is moved we should convert some of the existing parking lot back to green space.

____________________________________________________________________________ What do you like about the Draft Concept Plan? Ensuring that the boat launch is part of the downtown. Are there any aspects of the Draft Concept Plan that are of concern to you?

A. Short timeline for a public consultation B. Traffic flow of moving the boat launch would become a C. The cost of moving, redeveloping vs. the cost of an upgrade, modification would be

substantially more. This could be lowered, for the benefit of everyone. ____________________________________________________________________________ What do you like about the Draft Concept Plan? I am not in support of wasting valuable riverfront property in the core of the town for a boat launch and parking lot. If, after so much time and money has been spent on the current launch to the west, is not adequate, relocate any new facility to the West near the water plant. Three years ago the town purchased and demolished the Lucas house. It remains a vacant lot ideal for parking boat trailers, trucks etc. The proposed new site is currently a public park Lions Park and also a memorial site for H.Vine. We cannot afford to lose greenspace and certainly not a memorial commemoration site. A new boat launch should not be located closer to the core of the business district. Why isn’t an option of including a boat launch on the south side of the river – even west of Conservation Park. Keep is away from parks. What does the Min Environment/ Natural Resources say about placing a parking lot so close to the river’s edge? Are there any aspects of the Draft Concept Plan that are of concern to you? The proposed site is too small for a boat launch and parking lot. The location is virtually a dead end. How will vehicle park and turn long vehicles and become unsafe for pedestrians? How will turns in and out of this small street be possible without traffic lights? Back up traffic going North and South is already a problem here in the summer/fall. Adding more gridlock (especially because long vehicles need to turn in and out of one small area) is not an option. Is this not an issue for emergency services when this major street (Centre St South) will be blocked at high traffic volume times. This issue is too important to have it proposed without a public meeting. The open house before Christmas was not adequate. No media coverage or press release from the town was provided. ____________________________________________________________________________ I have the following concerns about the Draft Concept Plan for the proposed boat launch and parking lot that has been designed for land east of Centre Street:

1) Virtually no one I have spoken to either knew about the proposal or the Open Meeting about it held on December 16 so there will hardly be fair debate about it. While the town may have placed an ad in the Napanee Guide, I don’t get the Napanee Guide and I’m sure I’m not the only one. If flyers were put in local mail boxes I didn’t manage to get one of those either or it was it mixed in so well with the junk mail it got tossed. The town has a web site where its meetings and business are posted and there is nothing regarding the proposal or the meeting there. It seems to me if the town wants feedback they must try a little harder to at least let all the newspapers know about the meeting and maybe post the actual plan somewhere where lots of people will see it. And also the

Infrastructure Services (Utilities) Re: Preliminary Results ... Page 65 of 104

Page 66: Regular Session Council - 12 Jan 2016

town could have made it very clear that the changes being proposed involved downtown parkland.

2) Moving the boat launch to the other side of the bridge is the only option presented. This seems to be the worst kind of expediency. According to Quinte Conservation no queries about other possible sites (such as the foot of Richard Street) were even brought to their attention. There must be other sites along the river that could be used, that would afford more convenience to the boaters and could provide the space for a proper marina. Yes you might have to dredge and yes you’d have to do a study before hand, pass the proposal with the appropriate levels of government and mitigate accordingly but this is standard procedure and most everyone building anything along the river goes through that anyway.

3) Just moving the existing launch to the other side of the bridge makes very little sense for the boaters if the nobler aim is to have a town launch site that everyone can use (it would cut down on the private proposals according to Quinte Conservation). Any tall boats like sail boats won’t be able to make it out under the bridge so it virtually serves just motor boat owners.

4) The noise level on the stretch of water from the bridge to the falls will go up as the motor boats move into the water and go for a trial run. As a resident who’s property backs onto Water Street I’m not looking forward to this and neither are a few other residents, who apparently also just found out about the proposal.

5) Moving the boat launch to the other side of the bridge won’t help the traffic congestion along Centre Street; in fact it will likely increase it as it appears the parking lot on the west side will remain as well.

6) The parking bays proposed in the design seem fairly limited which means that in busy times trucks and trailers will be parked along the grass and probably all along the Water Street public land.

7) Last and probably the worst thing about the Draft Concept Plan is that the proposed accommodations for that boat launch will run right through and virtually destroy the current green space that the park (and all the public land along Water Street) represents. People of all ages and economic status go for walks there. They walk their dogs there too and play with them. Mums and dads show their kids how to fish along the river bank and people routinely come to feed the ducks and geese. It is a very well used green space and I think adds much aesthetic value to the town; it provides much pleasure and recreation to the people of Napanee just as it is. Putting in a boat launch there will increase noise levels and vehicular traffic along the street, and chopping up the parkland by roads and parking bays will make it much less appealing to the general public. Modifying the current green space to suit mostly those who can afford boats, while simultaneously compromising its use by the broader public represents an overall loss to the town of Napanee. It's shameful.

___________________________________________________________________________ Thanks for holding the open house on these proposed projects. I really have no comment on either design other than general ones, applicable to both projects. Master Plan: If done properly, rebuilding our waterfront and redeveloping our market square are large and challenging projects which will require significant investments over a number of years. What is needed is a master plan for both projects - all of them, not just bits and pieces. The plans on display last night each looked like band-aide solutions to some immediate concern (crumbling front steps, neglected fountain, congested boat launch) rather than the start on a long term plan to help bring our Town into the 21st century. Our Market Square and our

Infrastructure Services (Utilities) Re: Preliminary Results ... Page 66 of 104

Page 67: Regular Session Council - 12 Jan 2016

waterfront are both gems and one quickly realizes what potential they have when one visits any of the dozens of other municipalities that have invested in theirs. I am grateful for any improvements to the crumbling infrastructure in urban Napanee but I fear that projects such as these will just end up being re-done in a few years by a more progressive council and thus be a wasted effort. We are, somewhat belatedly, starting to do the things in Napanee that were done years ago in other municipalities to realize the potential of our downtown, our heritage buildings and our waterfront. A great deal of private money is now finding its way into downtown. And we are seeing results. This needs to be matched by investment in public infrastructure both downtown and on the waterfront. There is ample precedent for doing this. In past years, in our north end, vast sums of public money was spent to build roads, utilities, and other infrastructure including a $10-million arena complete with a $130,000 flashing sign. This attracted business, some diverted from downtown, but much of it new and all of it badly needed. (Before WalMart, the only place to buy footwear was Canadian Tire which stocked rubber boots!) In the north end, development was achieved by expediting planning approvals, selling municipal land at an undervalue and even quietly waiving development charges on major projects such as Hampton Inn. The public money invested was soon recovered many times over. Shovel Ready: Part of any master plan should involve getting at least parts of these projects "shovel ready" so that we can finally start getting funding from the Province and Ottawa like other municipalities do. We need to invest in the long range planning, consultation, design, and engineering so that all approvals are in place and construction can start immediately after funding is secured. This is not easy and involves a significant up-front expense. Other municipalities understand this and have benefited from grants that we never see. (Not a penny of outside money was obtained to build our arena and this is why we're still paying on the mortgage, 11 years later.) Ottawa has promised new spending on infrastructure over the next 4 years and we need to get in line. Now. Parking: In both cases the issue of parking lurks in the background. Ample, public parking is essential to continued development of our downtown and waterfront. But, I think it would be a waste of a precious resource to locate any significant amount of parking on Market Square or on the waterfront when there are lots of other options. The Town acquired and built the Mill St and Water St lots over 40 years ago at very little cost and these have proved to be an excellent investments. But no public parking has been added since. There are several other sites that should be looked at: 1. The John St property opposite Town Hall. The owners had planned to develop this but gave up after talking to the planning department. 2. 117-125 East St is a vacant service station which could be converted to at least 80 parking

spaces. It's been listed for sale for years and the current asking price is $175,000. If made into parking, little remediation is required as long as no new buildings are proposed. 3. The owner of 42 Dundas E has a large vacant area at the rear, fronting on Mill St, which would accommodate 30 parking spaces. It's for sale too. With great respect, I think we need some vision and we need to set our sights higher. We can no longer afford to have business as usual here. It's 2015.

To: Mayor Schermerhorn and Members of Council Date: January 12, 2016 Prepared By: Peter Dafoe, General Manager of Infrastructure Services Presented By: Peter Dafoe, General Manager of Infrastructure Services Re: Infrastructure Services (Public Works) - Condition of Town Sidewalks

Staff Recommendation: That Council receive for information the Infrastructure Services (Public Works) Condition of Town Sidewalks Report.

Financial Implications Upon review, any financial implications will be discussed in future budget deliberations. Accessibility Implications: This report may be available in alternate format upon request. Information Technology Implications Upon review, there are no information technology implications. Energy Management Implications Upon review, there are no energy management implications.

Background Information

Prior to December 1, 2015, no formal sidewalk inventory or asset management plan existed. The Road Needs Study was previously limited to the outside edge of pavement and such did not incorporate all municipal assets within the municipal road allowance. Annual inspections, record keeping and corrective actions were exclusively completed in-house by staff.

G.D. Jewell Engineering Inc. was retained to undertake a condition assessment of all sidewalks within the Town of Greater Napanee. The draft report was submitted for staff review on December 1, 2015.

Infrastructure Services (Public Works) Re: Condition of Town... Page 71 of 104

Page 72: Regular Session Council - 12 Jan 2016

Discussion

Scope of Assessment and Findings

The study includes all sidewalks within the Town of Greater Napanee (Town and County). Section numbers or segments align with the current Road Needs Study and such will be utilized in future long range capital planning. The report identifies location, type, length, number of tripping hazards and number of cracks.

Total kms of concrete sidewalk – approx. 42 kms Number of deficiencies - 773

Historical Operating Budgets (*does not include capital replacement)

2011 2012 2013 2014 2015

$15,144 $30,573 $4,014 $28,433 $8,313 * above values indicate Year End actuals (GL 01-5-3710-3032 and 01-5-3710-4007)

Minimum Maintenance Standards

Ontario Regulation 239/02 , Minimum Maintenance Standards for Municipal Highways, outlines municipal responsibilities for both highways and sidewalks.

16.1 (1) The minimum standard for the frequency of inspecting sidewalks to check for surface discontinuity is once per calendar year, with each inspection taking place not more than 16 months from the previous inspection.

(1.1) A sidewalk that has been inspected in accordance with subsection (1) is deemed to be in a state of repair with respect to any surface discontinuity until the next inspection in accordance with that subsection, provided that the municipality does not acquire actual knowledge of the presence of a surface discontinuity in excess of two centimeters.

“surface discontinuity” means a vertical discontinuity creating a step formation at joints or cracks in the surface of the sidewalk.

Corrective Actions to Date

Treating a surface discontinuity on a sidewalk means taking reasonable measures to protect users of the sidewalk from the discontinuity, including making permanent or temporary repairs, altering user’s attention to the discontinuity or preventing access to the area of discontinuity.

Staff commenced with mitigating measures immediately upon receipt of the final condition assessment report and has completed a total of 317 repairs to date. Temporary repairs, typically a recycled asphalt taper, focussed on the high pedestrian traffic areas first. Repairs will continue as weather permits until all known deficiencies have been addressed.

5 Year Capital Planning

Please note that significant capital works is being planned over the next 5 year window and as such many of the noted deficiencies would be addressed in a permanent manner. Two high profile projects include Bridge Street (2016 - between Alma Avenue and Belleville Road) and Dundas Street (commencing in 2017 -between Alma Avenue and Hessford Street).

Staff Recommendation: That Council receive for information the Community & Corporate Services – Improvements to the Front of the Town Hall report; And further that Council provide direction to staff regarding such improvements

Financial Implications: Funds would need to be allocated in the budget process. Accessibility Implications: This report may be available in alternate format upon request. Information Technology Implications: Upon review, there are no information technology implications. Energy Management Implications: Upon review, there are no energy management implications. Background Information On Wednesday, December 16, 2016 Staff hosted a public open house to solicit

community feedback on the Water Street boat launch and improvements to the front of

the Town Hall.

In 2013 Scott Wentworth prepared design concepts for the front and back of the Town

Hall. The front of the Town Hall concept was displayed at the open house.

The current condition of the area in front of the Town Hall can be summarized as

follows:

Cracked and Spalding front steps

Unsafe areas next to the steps

Community & Corporate Services Re: Improvements to the Front... Page 73 of 104

Page 74: Regular Session Council - 12 Jan 2016

Cracked and uneven cement walking areas

Uneven paving stones

Ten individuals signed the Town Hall open house sign in sheet. It is estimated that at

over 20 people viewed the plans. There were a few verbal positive comments and to

date the following written comments have been received.

1. I also object to spending money on the Town Hall and landscape to John St. It is

fine except for minor repairs to the front steps.

2. As for the Town Hall renovations to the front it is another unnecessary expense.

Fix the front steps and simply beautify the area in front with benches and flower

beds.

3. All of these grandiose ideas are fine were our town finances able to cover these

proposals. I would suggest first and foremost you look around at our roads which

are deteriorating faster than they are being repaired and as for sidewalks well

they are so broken in so many places that their repair and replacement is an

essential and immediate need. This is more important that more parking on the

waterfront.

4. None of it.

5. Thanks for holding the open house on these proposed projects. I really have no

comment on either design other than general ones, applicable to both projects.

Background Information On April 9, 2015, the Town disposed of land to 2325524 Ontario Inc. (Sentinel Solar) Part Lots 19 and 20, Con. 1, being Part 1 on Plan 29R-9957, except Part 1 on Plan 29R-9994 on Enviro Park Lane. The property sale included the execution of an Option to Repurchase & Right of First Refusal Agreement which included conditions that 2325524 Ontario Inc. (the Optioner) must meet, failing which the Optionor grants the Muncipality an option to repurchase the lands. Clause 2(b) states:

The Municipality may exercise the Option if the Optionor fails to complete construction of and reach the Commercial Operating Date for the Solar Relocation Project within one (1) year from the Closing Date.

Discussion On November 17, 2015, Town staff received the following request from Sentinel Solar:

“We have made significant headway with the first phase of development on our Enviro Park Lane solar project. Site levelling has been completed, access roadways are now in place, test holes for foundations have been dug to allow engineering of concrete bases to be completed and we have completed the requirements of the storm water management plan (I left you a copy of that plan in our meeting a while back).

We are now waiting on final Notice to Proceed from the IESO and 3rd party engineering approval of our concrete base design before the next phase of construction can begin. Based on our projected timelines and with winter now approaching, it now seems certain that we will not be able to have the project completed and fully connected by the April, 2016 deadline as stipulated in the Right of First Refusal Agreement associated with the sale of the property to us. I would like to formally request a 6 month extension to the date by which the project must reach Commercial Operation. This would move the date to 18 months from the date of closing, rather than the 1 year as stipulated in the agreement.”

Further Clause 20 of the Agreement states:

“Any modification of or amendments to this Agreement must be in writing and signed by all parties or it shall have no effect and shall be void.”

Staff has reviewed the status of the project and the subsequent request for an extension to the said agreement and has no objection.

Re: Community & Corporate Services – Dedication of Part of the One Foot Reserve adjacent to Sherman’s Point Road as a Public Highway

Staff Recommendation: That the Council receive for information the Community & Corporate Services - By-law to Designate Two Parts of the One Foot Reserve Adjacent to Sherman’s Point Road as a Public Highway report; And further that Council instruct staff to proceed with the required process including public notice to dedicate two parts of the one foot reserve adjacent to Sherman’s Point Road, being Part of Block 24 on Registered Plan 1159, as a public highway.

Financial Implications Upon review, there are no financial implications.

Accessibility Implications This report is available in alternate format upon request.

Information Technology Implications Upon review, there are no information technology implications. Energy Management Implications Upon review, there are no energy management implications.

Background Information Pierre Burger (ACXIZ Inc.), owner of property being Concession 4, Part Lot 24 to 26, being Part 2 on Plan 29R-2748 and being approximately 83 acres, located along Sherman’s Point Road (see attached plan of survey), is proposing to build a dwelling and machine shed on his property. Sherman’s Point Road is a municipal public road with a one foot reserve, being Block 24 on Registered Plan 1159, adjacent to Mr.

Community & Corporate Services Re: Dedication of Part of the... Page 82 of 104

Page 83: Regular Session Council - 12 Jan 2016

Burger’s property and the road. Block 24 was put in place as part of the plan of subdivision in order to regulate access to the property being that it is such a large parcel of land. Discussion: In order for Mr. Burger to obtain building permits, he requires access on a public road. Given this one foot reserve, Mr. Burger currently has no means of access in close proximity to the preferred location of his proposed development. Mr. Burger has consulted with Town staff and a land surveyor and has had two locations for entrances to his property surveyed on a draft plan from the one foot reserve (see attached draft plan of survey). The proposed entrances are each 9 metres in length. The proposed entrance off the cul de sac (Part 1 on the draft plan) would service the dwelling and the other entrance (Part 2 on the draft plan) would service the machine shed. Town staff has reviewed the draft plan and find the proposed entrances acceptable and appropriate for the development. In order to formalize these entrances, the Town must dedicate the two parts on the plan as part of the public highway, being Sherman’s Point Road, through a by-law. Public notice of the intention must also be provided prior to the adoption of the by-law.

Community & Corporate Services Re: 2016 Proposed Increases t... Page 87 of 104

Page 88: Regular Session Council - 12 Jan 2016

This proposed change in the rates included in Schedule “F” is due to the change in the MTO rates. (ii) By-law No. 06-14 By-law No. 06-14, a by-law to provide for the regulation of the waste management system, was adopted by Council in March 2006, and amended in May 2015 to increase the cost of bag tags to from $1.50 to $2.00. Upon review of Waste Disposal Site (WDS) operations, it has been determined that a fee increase is necessary to cover the obligatory costs of landfill operations and waste disposal. A rate review has been conducted to compare the disposal prices within other local municipalities, and was determined that our current WDS fee schedule is noticeably lower than similar sites in the area. The fee increase for the bag tags at both WDS’s will offset the additional cost for paying Waste Management to haul the domestic bagged waste to an approved landfill. The proposed increase for the tipping fees at the Roblin Transfer Station will help address hauling costs of the bulky waste roll off bins to an approved landfill, while the South Fredericksburgh WDS tipping fee increase will offset the labour, equipment and material costs for operating and covering the landfill working face.

Current Schedule “E” to By-law No. 06-14 Tipping Fees for the Town’s Waste Disposal Sites

Non-commercial Rates: Utility trailer, cars, ½ and ¾ ton trucks $ 10.00 Single axle dump trucks $ 30.00 Tandem dump trucks $ 125.00 Tandem trailers $ 30.00 Surcharges: Large Items (each) $ 10.00 Household refuse placed in container 1 bag tag/bag or container Commercial carriers are NOT accepted.
