00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:37,119
right along to the staff reports Ed
thank you to you mayor

17
00:01:32,799 --> 00:01:42,439
Thank you everybody for coming to listen
this very timesensitive contract there.

18
00:01:46,079 --> 00:01:49,320
Oh yeah.

19
00:01:49,840 --> 00:02:00,399
Sorry about that. No problem. Turning
old cat with a hairball. It's the

20
00:01:55,759 --> 00:02:06,640
allergies. So DPH uh well-known
developer here. Uh they've done Nor Park

21
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:13,440
phase 1, phase 2, phase three. We're now
uh getting deep into Nord Park phase 4.

22
00:02:10,959 --> 00:02:17,599
So the uh
first up was an official plan amendment

23
00:02:15,599 --> 00:02:22,400
and a zoning bylaw amendment. Those were
all approved. Then they did a consent

24
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:30,400
application that was approved.
Uh this uh development will be 148 units

25
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:35,519
uh
at the uh west end of Alpine Street in

26
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:40,879
the village of Norwood. The subdivision
represents the fourth phase. There's

27
00:02:38,319 --> 00:02:46,400
going to be 96 single detached dwellings
and 52 town homes.

28
00:02:43,920 --> 00:02:50,800
And the development will uh provide an
extension to Alpine Street, three

29
00:02:48,640 --> 00:02:55,519
internal streets and a storm water
management pond, sanitary pumping

30
00:02:53,040 --> 00:03:01,200
station, green space, parkland,
walkways, and servicing corridors.

31
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:05,760
And during the preliminary functional
servicing review, the town of the

32
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:10,640
township infrastructure,
we noted that uh off-site works were

33
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:15,760
required on Alpine Street, County Road
40, and Wellington Street.

34
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:20,239
Alpine Street and County Road 40
off-site work, cost sharing,

35
00:03:17,519 --> 00:03:24,159
construction contracts. We will bring
them forward to the council at a later

36
00:03:22,159 --> 00:03:30,000
date, but just to give you a heads up
that it it'll be coming and fairly soon.

37
00:03:27,920 --> 00:03:35,599
Uh the township solicitor drafted the
North Park phase three uh cost sharing

38
00:03:32,640 --> 00:03:40,239
agreement and uh we more or less
mirrored that same agreement uh to for

39
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:43,920
to save costs and everything. We just
used the same one. worked well for our

40
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:48,959
other agreement.
Uh this one, the developer is

41
00:03:46,239 --> 00:03:55,280
responsible for 65% of the costs and the
township

42
00:03:50,480 --> 00:04:01,760
is uh responsible for 35% of the costs.
So the scope of work uh it's laid out in

43
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:08,159
the uh contract that was attached to to
the uh report.

44
00:04:05,599 --> 00:04:13,519
There's a huge list of items and so I
just uh shortened it down to include

45
00:04:11,599 --> 00:04:18,799
site preparation,
removals, erosion control, servicing,

46
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:23,199
and road construction. And if you look
in the report, you'll see that there's,

47
00:04:21,359 --> 00:04:26,800
you know, a dozen or more items under
each of those on how they're going to do

48
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:31,639
things.
So this uh strengthens our community

49
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:40,320
for the uh strategic plan and probably
you could tick off a few other items in

50
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:47,040
the strategic plan as well.
uh financial uh implications. The 148

51
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:53,440
dwelling units uh
uh this work that we do now will give us

52
00:04:49,280 --> 00:05:00,400
another 94 units. But eventually that 94
units and eventually when the 148 units

53
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:06,240
is constructed, we have a potential of
uh some nice annual tax revenues and

54
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:11,280
waste water or water revenues and
wastewater revenues.

55
00:05:09,039 --> 00:05:15,600
Uh along we'll have development charges
so we can put some money back into the

56
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:20,400
reserves which is a great thing help
with everything. We'll have building

57
00:05:17,039 --> 00:05:25,360
permit fees and we'll have uh water and
wastewater connection fees as well. So

58
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:30,720
it helps the water and the wastewater
department.

59
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:37,160
Uh the township will fund 50% of our
portion of that 35%.

60
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,160
uh

61
00:05:37,199 --> 00:05:45,199
I have on the report through reserves
but that's uh an error should be uh

62
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:50,080
through our approved budget that we did
so just so that everybody is aware of

63
00:05:47,199 --> 00:05:56,000
that that uh I should have said budget
not the reserves and then the 50% of the

64
00:05:53,440 --> 00:06:00,320
project will be funded through the
development charges and the wastewater

65
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:04,400
connection fees
uh as each building permit is issued the

66
00:06:02,479 --> 00:06:09,440
development charges and the wastewater
connection fees when we collect them the

67
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:13,840
fees will be remitted back to the
contract

68
00:06:11,199 --> 00:06:20,560
contractor which is Baltter Contracting
Limited and that's acknowledged in the

69
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:25,600
contract. Uh we did a quick estimate to
see uh what that actually looks like.

70
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:32,479
And so for the uh for the road
construction part, it's about six

71
00:06:27,280 --> 00:06:37,919
dwelling units. And uh for the uh
uh servicing work for sanitary and all

72
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:44,560
that type of stuff, it's about nine
permits. So uh that's really good. Yeah.

73
00:06:42,319 --> 00:06:52,960
So it's not like it's eating up all of
our monies, right? And so engagement

74
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:59,840
we've uh Adam and Jeff and uh Jordan and
and DPH of course

75
00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:05,199
and uh so once built out the conclusion
of that I said uh it'll realize uh

76
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:09,759
annual taxes revenues water wastewater
revenues

77
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:15,280
and I think and I don't know a lot about
the township asset management plan but I

78
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:19,280
know that if it's in a a poor or medium
category ory now that it's either going

79
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:24,720
to end up in a better category or
excellent category. And I'm uh Jordan

80
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:29,360
might be able to say what category would
end up being, but if it's brand new, it

81
00:07:26,479 --> 00:07:36,400
has to be in excellent condition. Yeah,
it is legit. Like, yeah. So, if you tell

82
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:41,360
them it is if that is a uh if that's a
category, and I'm assuming it is. I've

83
00:07:38,479 --> 00:07:46,319
seen some of them before. And I'd be
happy to answer any questions if you

84
00:07:43,759 --> 00:07:50,160
have any. And Jordan's here to talk
about money and Adam's here if you need

85
00:07:48,639 --> 00:07:54,319
a
size. I only had one question. I I look

86
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:57,680
at efficiencies and I was talking dead
this morning. I was hoping Jeff would

87
00:07:55,680 --> 00:08:03,919
have been here.
$14,000 almost $15,000 to rip the

88
00:08:01,039 --> 00:08:09,520
ashvault up. It's only a couple days
work. I didn't know if our guys could

89
00:08:05,599 --> 00:08:13,599
handle doing that. if the if um Jeff had
the time and resources to put two guys

90
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:19,680
at doing that. I just I just try and
look at all savings at all possible. But

91
00:08:17,199 --> 00:08:24,400
uh we'll definitely look at that moving
forward because the ashold can go to the

92
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:28,800
pit and when they're out there crushing
the pit then crush that ashalt and then

93
00:08:26,479 --> 00:08:34,120
we've got some maybe some more decent
material that we can use somewhere. Mhm.

94
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,120
Mhm.

95
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:42,640
Any questions of that, council? Council
W. Just one. Um, so those residents on

96
00:08:40,399 --> 00:08:46,320
Wellington, no no change to them in
terms of obviously they'll be rehooking

97
00:08:44,159 --> 00:08:49,360
up their laterals. Will we be giving
them advanced notice of this

98
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:54,240
construction going on? It's part of
this, right? Yes. Agreement. They'll get

99
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:59,600
a heads up letter that. So, we'll hand
deliver that or there's only eight

100
00:08:56,160 --> 00:09:02,959
houses. Yeah. Yeah. just because their
roads going to be ripped up for a couple

101
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:07,600
months. Yes. Reality. Uh so just so they
can understand why it's being ripped up,

102
00:09:05,519 --> 00:09:12,240
no impact to them just other than
obviously inconvenience.

103
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:16,399
Uh Deputy Mayor B. Uh thank you through
you. Um yeah, on the same vein, do we

104
00:09:14,399 --> 00:09:21,680
have a a start date and kind of an
estimated end date on the on the

105
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:27,200
construction? We do.
Was it in there? I think the start date

106
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:30,640
was uh June. June. Oh yeah, June 2nd.
That's why I was asking. Yeah, I knew it

107
00:09:28,959 --> 00:09:36,560
was June the second and then completion
by August 1st. Okay. So, kind of just

108
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:40,720
July dropped 3 weeks beyond that
probably. No, but with the June 2nd, I I

109
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:45,040
just didn't know like because we're
already delayed. Does that change their

110
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:48,800
timeline? Because did they go to another
job? You know, that was my fear, you

111
00:09:47,279 --> 00:09:54,080
know, because we didn't hit that June
second. Are they off to somewhere else?

112
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:58,160
Is our start date going to be in June or
later? Yeah. I haven't been in contact

113
00:09:55,920 --> 00:10:01,360
directly with them, Jeff. They're eager
to get out on this job. Okay, good,

114
00:09:59,680 --> 00:10:05,200
good, good. Because it's just once you
get into fall and then you get crappy

115
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:09,120
weather and so that was good. When I
when I saw we surpassed June 2nd, I

116
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:15,360
thought, oh, yeah, this is very
timesensitive and we could have rain

117
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:18,720
that it off too. Yeah. Okay. Any further
questions? Yeah. through your mayor.

118
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:26,160
Just to add to that, Justin Kogan was in
three weeks ago and I asked him Shannon

119
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:29,360
Herman about all three projects um from
a budget standpoint what it looked like

120
00:10:27,680 --> 00:10:36,000
if it's going to be in here and he
assured us that the intention is all

121
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:44,079
three will be done this 2025.
Very good. And sorry like Wellington

122
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:49,680
County Road 40. Yeah. All done. Wow.
Vicious. We will see. Um, okay. The

123
00:10:47,279 --> 00:10:58,240
other thing I wanted to add is that the
50% fronting of our costs,

124
00:10:54,240 --> 00:11:02,160
we still have to pay it just through not
taking in the development charges.

125
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:05,200
That's number one. Also, we have it in
the wastewater budget and the

126
00:11:03,519 --> 00:11:10,880
transportation budget this year to cover
our costs, but we also have the revenue

127
00:11:07,279 --> 00:11:17,200
in the wastewater budget for the 22 uh
sanitary hookups. So that is about, you

128
00:11:14,959 --> 00:11:21,279
know, over 250,000 that we're not going
to take in. So it's not like we're going

129
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:26,800
to have 250,000 where we can pick
another project and go out and spend

130
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:32,320
that money. Um I would my recommendation
is

131
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:37,839
keep the spending to a minimum minimal
uh for the time being. Once we've once

132
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:42,720
they've got the permits and they move
forward with those additional homes over

133
00:11:39,680 --> 00:11:46,320
22, then that's when we should start to
okay take in some development charges

134
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:51,279
and and hopefully start to build some
reserves and and we can utilize some of

135
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:53,920
those funds. But they're giving us 50%
upfront

136
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:58,399
ultimately we're paying it and we're
actually paying

137
00:11:55,920 --> 00:12:04,320
almost 500,000 this year just back they
take their 22 which they are. So yeah,

138
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:10,720
it's not like it's half a million that
we can So once we spend somewhere else,

139
00:12:06,959 --> 00:12:16,320
once we get past that 22 homes, then
there should be them are golden. Yeah.

140
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:22,639
Yeah. Unless there's uh Okay. Unless
there's more Okay. construction. But do

141
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:26,480
you aware of any
after this? No. close back to the but I

142
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:32,000
would I would think that it would take
more like the six and the nine is the

143
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:37,200
the numbers that we did for uh this
Wellington Street. So when I bring uh

144
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:43,839
County Road 40, I'll I'll have new
numbers for those ones and then new

145
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:50,720
numbers for uh Alpine Street. So it may
end up being like 30 or so or so. Uh

146
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:55,920
we did figure it out a long time ago
just to see where our break even point

147
00:12:52,480 --> 00:13:01,279
was on it. And uh I just don't remember
those numbers off the top of my head

148
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:05,760
right now. And so if I may for you mayor
um so all the traffic control is the

149
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:12,959
responsibility of the contractor. Yes.
So we don't have to worry about any

150
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:18,000
anything like that? No. Okay.
Uh, councelor Walsh. Mayor, um, again,

151
00:13:16,639 --> 00:13:21,040
we don't have the costing of the two
projects, but do we feel comfortable

152
00:13:19,519 --> 00:13:23,440
what we have in the budget? Jordan, did
they give you an indication when that

153
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:28,399
they said they were going to do all
three this year? Are we comfortable

154
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:31,600
what's in the the the transport or not
the transportation budget, yeah,

155
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:36,639
transportation and the wastewater budget
that we should be close? We we our

156
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:40,720
budget numbers are a little bit off.
Okay. like given the fact that they're

157
00:13:38,399 --> 00:13:45,279
fronting that 50% and they're only
taking the 22 permits this year, we

158
00:13:44,079 --> 00:13:50,800
should be fine. There are some
engineering costs and stuff that have

159
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:56,000
popped up. Um, but for this year, for
this project, yeah, we should we should

160
00:13:52,800 --> 00:14:00,480
be fine. Really, it's a great help and
bat for us and 5% originally, which

161
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:04,320
would have handcuffed us a little bit
and really driven the budget numbers

162
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:10,079
even more. So, we're able to get to 50,
which alleviates some pressure. Yeah. Um

163
00:14:07,680 --> 00:14:16,639
but again, we got to pay it ultimately,
right? So, yeah, it just comes a little

164
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:25,120
bit further down the line. So, question
for you, Adam. Um I know it's is it 94

165
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:30,560
96 homes? 94 that maxes it at. Question
for you. If you have a pumping station

166
00:14:27,279 --> 00:14:35,440
up there and it's holding back,
can those numbers go up or not? Do you

167
00:14:32,959 --> 00:14:40,800
don't know off hand or off hand? That's
at the end of the day that all that

168
00:14:37,199 --> 00:14:46,639
water got to go through right. So by an
hour or two or if they just at night and

169
00:14:44,639 --> 00:14:51,120
the flow are lower it might help but
when the plants it's still got to be at

170
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:58,160
capacity there's no more room for Okay.
I just wanted to verify that. Yeah.

171
00:14:54,399 --> 00:15:03,360
Uh any further questions councils? No.
