1
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:10,240
like to call this meeting to order.
Welcome here everyone. At this moment, I

2
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:14,320
would like to give the opening to
councelor Michael Sw.

3
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:18,160
» Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Members of council
will likely recall that at the last

4
00:00:16,080 --> 00:00:23,039
council meeting, councelor Semons noted
that he was giving his last opening at a

5
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:28,000
council meeting. Well, I'm in a similar
situation since this will be also my

6
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:32,960
last time that I give the opening at a
council meeting. And since this is my

7
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:37,360
last opening, I felt it was appropriate
to share some general reflections about

8
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:42,239
municipal politics and good city
governance, I don't plan to get in into

9
00:00:40,079 --> 00:00:46,480
anything too personal at this point
because I'll likely share some thoughts

10
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:50,160
at the final council meeting in October.
In addition, we still have several

11
00:00:48,160 --> 00:00:54,239
meetings to go before this council term
ends, and I don't believe in saying

12
00:00:52,239 --> 00:00:59,039
goodbye until it's actually time to say
goodbye. Plus, I still have until

13
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:02,239
September 22nd to get my nomination
paper in, if I suddenly change my mind

14
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:07,680
about the whole provincial politics
thing. I've been on part of council now

15
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:12,400
for five council terms, which means that
I've been on city council for 20 years.

16
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:16,799
Well, 20 years is far from a
record-breaking length of time to serve

17
00:01:14,320 --> 00:01:21,439
on council is definitely longer than
average. And being on council for 20

18
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:27,360
years has given me a unique opportunity
to see the inner workings of our city.

19
00:01:24,320 --> 00:01:32,720
As a result, I think it's appropriate
for me to shed some light on some

20
00:01:29,119 --> 00:01:37,200
things. However, if you're hoping that
I'm going to reveal some deep dark

21
00:01:34,799 --> 00:01:41,439
secret about our city governance or
expose the hidden corruption at the

22
00:01:38,960 --> 00:01:44,560
highest levels or reveal that all
members of council are actually

23
00:01:42,960 --> 00:01:48,000
Freemasons who are in the pocket of
George Soros and helping to bring in a

24
00:01:46,320 --> 00:01:52,240
one world government, you're going to be
sorely disappointed.

25
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:58,000
So, the first thing I've noticed is that
we have an absolutely fantastic staff

26
00:01:55,280 --> 00:02:02,719
here in the city of Steinbeck. Now, I
know it's expected for politicians to

27
00:02:00,159 --> 00:02:07,520
say nice things about their staff, but
in this case, I mean it quite sincerely.

28
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:12,239
Our staff members are highly
professional and they do a great job of

29
00:02:10,319 --> 00:02:16,720
getting council members the information
that we need to make good decisions.

30
00:02:14,959 --> 00:02:20,800
I'll never forget a council meeting
several years ago when I was in the

31
00:02:18,319 --> 00:02:25,440
mayor's chair and we had an applicant
during a public hearing who happened not

32
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:30,560
to be from this area was trying to get
support for his project. And now in his

33
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:36,239
report to us, city manager Troy
Workington had highlighted some concerns

34
00:02:32,959 --> 00:02:41,200
that staff had about the proposal. And
in a poorly thoughtout attempt to get

35
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:45,680
buy in from council, the applicant urged
us during the hearing to ignore what the

36
00:02:43,599 --> 00:02:50,080
bureaucrats were saying and just go with
our judgment instead. And I remember

37
00:02:48,239 --> 00:02:54,239
shooting right back at this applicant
that in Steinbeck we don't call our

38
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:58,640
staff members bureaucrats. We regard
them as professionals. So, on behalf of

39
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:02,800
all of us in council, I want to say
thank you to our staff for all the

40
00:03:00,640 --> 00:03:08,480
incredible work that you do on a
day-to-day basis for us. A second thing

41
00:03:06,319 --> 00:03:13,360
I want to note is that our council
meetings, and this is over the 20 years

42
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:18,000
I've been on council, are run well. I've
served with two outstanding mayors, and

43
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:22,159
one thing that Mayor Girtson and Mayor
Funk have in common is they both know

44
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:27,280
the importance of keeping council
meetings focused and on topic. As a

45
00:03:24,959 --> 00:03:32,000
result, our public council meetings
typically last only about an hour or so

46
00:03:30,319 --> 00:03:36,720
with the exception of when we have a
contentious public hearing. And that is

47
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:41,760
fine. That's because there's nothing
inherently noble about having lengthier

48
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:47,360
meetings. Longer doesn't necessarily
mean better. I'm proud of how well our

49
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:52,640
meetings are run, how respectful we are
to each other during a debate, and how

50
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:56,080
professional we look during the meeting.
And it's too bad that more people don't

51
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:59,920
check out the YouTube videos of our
council meetings because I think there's

52
00:03:58,159 --> 00:04:05,040
value in them and I'm quite proud to
showcase the way that we do things in

53
00:04:01,599 --> 00:04:09,439
our city. Finally, I'm pleased that our
city over the years has remained focused

54
00:04:06,959 --> 00:04:15,519
on areas that legitimately fall within
municipal jurisdiction. We really do

55
00:04:12,159 --> 00:04:20,479
focus on basic infrastructure, on police
and fire protection, and on recreation

56
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:24,720
projects for our community.
I'm proud that we don't spend our time

57
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:29,360
making symbolic climate emergency
declarations or issue a different

58
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:34,400
proclamation for a new cause every week
or raise multiple flags in front of city

59
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:39,600
hall. Instead, we keep focused on the
basics and that helps to keep our city

60
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:43,840
great. As I mentioned at the outset,
this council term is not quite done, so

61
00:04:41,759 --> 00:04:47,040
this is not goodbye. We've got a lot of
work left to do, starting with the

62
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:50,880
public hearings that we have coming
right up. So, let's get to it. Thank

63

being applied for by Jordan Loen with

86
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:44,880
the owner of the property being 3XL
Holdings, LTD. Uh purpose of bylaw 2285

87
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:50,319
uh is to reszone the subject property
from RLD residential low density to RMD

88
00:06:48,319 --> 00:06:54,160
residential medium density to permit a
multif family development to be

89
00:06:51,759 --> 00:06:58,160
constructed. Notices as are required
under the planning act have been issued.

90
00:06:56,319 --> 00:07:02,880
There is one item of correspondence on
file a copy of which was given to

91
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:09,440
council in their mail bins earlier
today. Um in addition to that, community

92
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:15,120
planning office indicates that uh there
are no provincial concerns identified

93
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:20,000
with this application. Um the uh subject
property is a double lot and it

94
00:07:17,199 --> 00:07:24,160
presently contains a single uh unit
dwelling structure. The applicant

95
00:07:21,919 --> 00:07:29,280
proposes uh as was mentioned to develop
a a two-story 12-unit multi-unit

00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:34,960
residential structure on the site. Uh
the adjacent land parcel to the west of

97
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:39,440
the subject property is also zoned RMD.
Uh the uh proposal would also be subject

98
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:42,960
to the city's infill policy.
Recommendation from administration is

99
00:07:41,039 --> 00:07:45,840
for council to approve second reading to

100
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:49,599

>> Good evening. My name's uh Jordan Lohan.

106
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:14,160
I live at Triple 4 Hler Street South in
Steinbeck. Uh bought this property, got

107
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:20,800
possession this year. Uh thought it was
a good uh property to add some density

108
00:08:17,919 --> 00:08:25,440
to our kind of inner mile of Steinbeck
that's regoing a lot of rework. the

109
00:08:23,199 --> 00:08:29,120
properties towards its end of its life
cycle

110
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:34,640
um
uh with the large lot uh and only going

111
00:08:32,399 --> 00:08:41,200
two stories for RMD which allows three
stories. I thought it could fit with the

112
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:46,720
neighborhood uh I counted 13 RMD lots uh
within a block and a half uh of infill.

113
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:51,200
So that's down First Street the corner
of Ellis and Geese. There's a couple

114
00:08:48,560 --> 00:08:57,360
other ones before you get to Wood Haven.
Um I have a site plan that's uh meets

115
00:08:54,560 --> 00:09:03,760
all the requirements of uh issuing a
permit I suppose uh site uh setbacks

116
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:07,440
required parking dumpster recycling
landscaping buffering I'll have to get a

117
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:13,760
lock rating plan to address all the
drainage of course um yeah I think it it

118
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:18,959
is a good fit and fits with the
direction the city wants to go with

119
00:09:15,519 --> 00:09:23,920
revitalizing some of the older areas so
>> okay thank you councel Any questions for

120
00:09:21,680 --> 00:09:29,360
the applicant?
I see none at this time. So, um, we'll

121
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:32,720
probably call you up later on for sure.
Okay.

122
00:09:30,959 --> 00:09:37,480
Is there anyone here with comments,
questions, or objections to this file?

123
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:45,519
Okay. Yeah. Take the podium.
Yeah. And again, I'll I'll have it just

124
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:48,560
state your name and your address because
everything's recorded and then you can

125
00:09:47,839 --> 00:09:56,399
go ahead.
>> Okay. Um, we're Christa and Ryan Vote.

126
00:09:52,320 --> 00:10:02,720
Um, we live at 17 Westview Place. Um,
our property is directly affected by the

127
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:08,480
proposed development at 58 GB Street.
Um, we've lived there since 2013. It's

128
00:10:06,399 --> 00:10:14,399
been uh pretty much an open field in the
back. There's uh Swift and all that

129
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:18,480
stuff there. where the like depending
how far this is going to be set back.

130
00:10:16,959 --> 00:10:22,640
This is going to be directly in our
backyard.

131
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:27,279
There's mature trees back there. It's a
beautiful setting.

132
00:10:24,560 --> 00:10:31,360
Uh we're worried about privacy.
Uh we're worried about the lights. We're

133
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:35,760
worried about people cutting through our
properties to get to their places. I

134
00:10:34,399 --> 00:10:42,240
mean, people already cut through there
now. Um there's also concerns of

135
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:48,079
flooding. Gizrect already can't handle
large rain, large flooding. So, how much

136
00:10:46,560 --> 00:10:53,040
more runoff is this going to make for
our properties?

137
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:58,240
Um, yeah, it's just like we're directly
affected. Like, depending how far back

138
00:10:55,120 --> 00:11:03,000
this thing is going to be built, um,
it's going to be pretty much right in

139
00:10:59,839 --> 00:11:03,000
our backyard.

140
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:10,240
So, and what's that going to do to the
prop like for our property value for

141
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:16,800
resale if we want to put our house up
for sale in in a few years? I mean, I

142
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:21,839
definitely would think before, you know,
having 12 units looking into my

143
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:27,440
backyard.
I mean, like I'm all for, you know,

144
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:32,399
increasing, you know, homes in Steinback
and that kind of stuff, but I think it

145
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:38,320
needs to take consideration. Like for
West View Place, depending how far back

146
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:40,959
they put this, we're going to have, you
know, traffic, we're going to have

147
00:11:39,519 --> 00:11:48,240
noise, we're going to have lights, we're
going to have different people. The

148
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:52,640
other question I have is, "Love the
lights going up at the corner of Geese

149
00:11:49,680 --> 00:11:58,560
Breton and 52." Great idea. There's
going to be no lefthand turns going into

150
00:11:54,880 --> 00:12:02,959
Tim Hortons, right in the mornings. What
is this? What's going to happen when we

151
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:06,480
have all these apartments and people
trying to leave their places and all the

152
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:10,160
people that go to that Tim Hortons are
now going to be using Geese and First

153
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:14,000
Street to go to Tim Hortons. There's
going to be such a lineup there.

154
00:12:14,560 --> 00:12:21,760
Okay. So then I mean that just comes
down to traffic concerns. Um

155
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:26,320
» yeah, but I mean I mean you're putting
>> we have like we're working on that.

156
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:30,000
We're we are talking with the Tim
Hortons. They they do have to make sure

157
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:33,279
they can
>> age everyone on their lot.

158
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:37,680
» Really? I mean that's probably you know
that's that's a later concern. But this

159
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:42,000
is this is going to be like
>> like depending how far back it is and if

160
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:46,959
I'm correct,
>> they're going to be taking down the

161
00:12:43,680 --> 00:12:51,680
house and the trees and setting it back
and then we're it's it's going to be

162
00:12:48,639 --> 00:12:55,680
pretty much right in my backyard.
>> Okay.

163
00:12:53,680 --> 00:12:58,720
» Mr. Mayor,
>> you have to come to the podium.

164
00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:00,560
» Come to the podium. Sorry.
>> No, I was just taped, right?

165
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,399
» Yeah.
>> We can't hear you from where you were

166
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:05,360
talking.
>> Yeah. Uh yeah, my name's Ryan Vote and I

167
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:08,079
was just going to mention because
there's also going to be that other

168
00:13:06,639 --> 00:13:13,760
complex that's probably going to be
going forward in that back field. So, um

169
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:18,959
we're just adding a lot more uh traffic
to that area. Um

170
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:25,760
we've we heard rumor that they were
going to open up L 252,

171
00:13:22,079 --> 00:13:31,120
which uh which would relieve some of the
the congestion there. So this will be

172
00:13:28,959 --> 00:13:34,720
because the property on Lond was just
approved to build their three-story one.

173
00:13:33,279 --> 00:13:38,079
So that's already going to be back
there. And then we're if they set this

174
00:13:36,639 --> 00:13:43,839
one further back, we've got two
apartment buildings pretty much into

175
00:13:40,639 --> 00:13:45,839
everyone's backyards on Westview Place.
>> Okay,

176
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:48,800
» Mr. Mayor.
>> Yes.

177
00:13:46,079 --> 00:13:54,480
» Are they Is this not going on lot 58?
That is So that does not line up with

178
00:13:51,680 --> 00:13:59,120
Westview Place
on the map. So this is a property 58

179
00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:02,240
where this proposed project is going.
>> Yeah, we're right on the corner

180
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:04,320
» and 58 is we're right on the corner.
>> Yeah, this

181
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,519
backyard
>> 62

182
00:14:05,680 --> 00:14:11,360
» 62 and then 58
>> not right backyard but I mean it's

183
00:14:09,519 --> 00:14:14,320
enough like I already have lights
shining into my place from Swift.

184
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:18,720
» Yeah,
>> already had to deal with that. I I'm

185
00:14:17,680 --> 00:14:21,680
like
>> especially if it's a two

186
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:25,760
» Okay, it's better that at least it's a
twotory and not a threetory that I was

187
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:30,959
concerned about. Yeah, that that part is
better. Just concerned with how far back

188
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:37,160
like where I I didn't get a good picture
of it, but like is the parking lot going

189
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:37,160
to be in the back or the front?

190
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:44,880
» Yeah. Um, excuse me. I I'll I'll speak
because I got a mic. Yeah, the parking

191
00:14:43,279 --> 00:14:50,480
lot will be in the front. That That's
what's showing. But there will be all

192
00:14:47,839 --> 00:14:53,600
the setbacks like all like all
everything's going to be observed.

193
00:14:51,519 --> 00:14:59,680
There'll be no variances needed for this
build. So it'll be it'll be 25 ft from

194
00:14:57,199 --> 00:15:04,959
the property line in the back, right?
Just like is what's required. Okay. So

195
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:09,600
So that's that that is that is going to
be so it's not going to be right at the

196
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:15,199
back of the property. It won't be in
your backyard because you do have a

197
00:15:11,839 --> 00:15:20,560
property between you and this one.
>> Okay. But are those trees and all that's

198
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:25,040
grown up there going to come down?
Well, norm any anytime that like this

199
00:15:24,079 --> 00:15:30,000
will come out in the development
agreement. Anytime this happens,

200
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:34,639
there'll be plantings that have to be
put in. So, there will have if trees

201
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:40,800
come down that does sometimes happen.
Yes. But trees will also be planted as

202
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:44,880
well. So, so that there's a there's a a
minimum amount of planting that has to

203
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:50,000
happen with every development and that's
in development agreement. Am I correct

204
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:55,199
about that? Uh, Mr. working.
>> Uh there are certain requirements. Uh if

205
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:59,600
it's uh street edge landscaping, yes,
there are requirements in the city

206
00:15:56,560 --> 00:16:04,240
zoning bylaw. However, for any existing
uh vegetation that is on the site, that

207
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:10,639
is uh up to the developer to determine
what that landscaping plan will entail.

208
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:13,440
» Okay. Thank you.
>> And then the drainage that never got

209
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:17,519
addressed either.
>> Okay. Well, drainage. Okay. So in

210
00:16:15,519 --> 00:16:23,120
development agreement,
every property as you as you redevelop

211
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:28,560
it, you have to deal with all your water
on that property. It can't put any water

212
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:34,000
onto like any more water than already is
going onto your property. It can't go

213
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:40,240
anymore. So this will this will actually
most of the time infill uh developments

214
00:16:37,279 --> 00:16:45,680
like this they actually improve drainage
because there's like right now there's

215
00:16:43,199 --> 00:16:50,800
no there's nothing stopping this water
from running into the swale but now this

216
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:56,320
developer will have to come up with a
development in the in agreement and he

217
00:16:53,440 --> 00:17:03,680
will have a drainage plan that will take
care of the the the water on site. So he

218
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:07,520
yeah he can't go dumping water into
unless there's a unless there's a

219
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:09,919
designated swale for everyone to drain
into.

220
00:17:08,079 --> 00:17:14,720
» Okay. So it's not like it would be
there'd be drainage like specifically

221
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:18,480
for rain going right onto the street.
>> Right. He can't put his he can't put his

222
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:21,280
down spouts into the neighbor's yard.
>> Right. He's got to take care of his

223
00:17:19,839 --> 00:17:24,959
water on his site.
>> Yeah. No, it's just cuz Yeah. Like she

224
00:17:23,039 --> 00:17:28,640
said, the main concern is geese floods
all the time. when we get heavy rain and

225
00:17:27,039 --> 00:17:32,240
all that kind of stuff like we already
have to watch

226
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:38,000
» our our crawl space or our
>> what is thank you basement and stuff so

227
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:42,640
and make sure the pump is working so you
know what are 12 more units going to

228
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:46,559
» I mean that's valid but but in the
development agreement they have to the

229
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,520
drainage will be taken care of for this
property

230
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,640
» okay
>> yeah okay in the in development

231
00:17:48,799 --> 00:17:55,600
agreement but they're valid valid
concerns drainage is a valid concern all

232
00:17:53,120 --> 00:17:59,919
the time because we are so flat
But but that uh that that will be worked

233
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:04,120
on with our city staff.
>> All right.

234
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:04,120
» All right. Thank you.

235
00:18:05,039 --> 00:18:10,919
» Is there anyone else?
>> Okay. Go ahead.

236
00:18:16,799 --> 00:18:27,760
» My name is George WZ. I'm a resident of
30 GB for many years. Um my concern

237
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:33,840
would be very much the same would be
would be water on the street and uh you

238
00:18:31,039 --> 00:18:36,960
did mention that the every developer is
looks after their water on their

239
00:18:35,919 --> 00:18:41,039
property [clears throat] but what
happens to the water that comes off the

240
00:18:39,039 --> 00:18:46,000
paved lot
that I've noticed that over the years

241
00:18:43,919 --> 00:18:52,000
like you guys have done a wonderful job
over the years because we've been there

242
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:57,120
a long time uh and that ditch beside us.
We have a a drainage ditch beside us run

243
00:18:54,480 --> 00:19:02,720
running to the 52 that has been improved
greatly over the years. However, it is

244
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:07,679
to the point where something has to be
done because there's more and more water

245
00:19:05,120 --> 00:19:14,320
accumulating on the street right in that
pocket. So I am very very concerned

246
00:19:11,679 --> 00:19:20,240
about that water
and I think this this any of these

247
00:19:17,120 --> 00:19:25,280
developments which with paved parking
lots

248
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:30,720
the developer can't control that water
and that's going to run onto the street.

249
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:37,440
Gizburg is already
uh basically

250
00:19:32,799 --> 00:19:43,440
almost a river in a heavy rainstorm.
So, I would I would urge you to take a

251
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:48,000
serious look at at some other solution
to that to that problem of that

252
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:54,080
accumulating water there because the
that ditch just does not keep up. And

253
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:59,840
you have you have another development
kitty corner to us coming up. That

254
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:04,000
development's driveway is going to be
right in the center of that pool of

255
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:08,799
water. And you're going to have some
very very upset people when once that

256
00:20:06,799 --> 00:20:12,559
development is up and they're trying to
leave their property and they won't be

257
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:18,400
able to because cars are stalling out
left, right, and center in that pool of

258
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:21,840
water. So I would urge you to to take a
serious look at that.

259
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:26,480
» Well, at the at the time of development
of that lot, there will be a development

260
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:31,919
agreement and drainage will be addressed
at that time with that lot. So, so

261
00:20:29,919 --> 00:20:37,120
» well that lot that lot has already been
approved.

262
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:39,360
» Yes, but the it's been approved but the
the has there been work done on it

263
00:20:39,039 --> 00:20:41,440
already?
>> Yes.

264
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:45,760
» Okay. Well, then there's there'll be a
there'll be a drainage plan that's tied

265
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:48,400
to that permit.
>> Okay.

266
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:57,280
» Okay. So that that will that drainage
plan will will be uh will have to be

267
00:20:52,400 --> 00:21:03,120
executed executed by the developer and
that will will that should most likely

268
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:07,440
make that that area that drainage
better. Like I'm not a I'm not an

269
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:11,200
engineer. I'm not a like I don't look at
like I don't know how to necessarily

270
00:21:09,679 --> 00:21:15,039
drain water other than your drainage the
lowest spot.

271
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:19,200
» But but our engineers work with the
developers. They look at each piece of

272
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:24,000
land and they they do make the drainage
better when those properties are are

273
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:29,679
filled in. Back back in the day when
Greece geese was built there that would

274
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:34,880
have predated development plans that
would have been predated uh drainage

275
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:38,880
plans and that's that but now as we're
developing we're in we're improving

276
00:21:37,120 --> 00:21:41,520
those drainage plans.
>> So

277
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:47,200
» when you look at that a lot of times
infill development improves the

278
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:50,960
drainage. Mhm. Well, I I I again I I
just want to stress that this needs to

279
00:21:49,120 --> 00:21:54,799
really be seriously looked at.
>> Thank you.

280
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:59,840
» Yep. The other concern I would have like
someone else here mentioned is is

281
00:21:56,799 --> 00:22:05,919
traffic. Um yes, there's lights going up
there which are going to help. Uh, but

282
00:22:03,360 --> 00:22:12,159
Gizbrebrick is kind of a main artery out
of that whole area of of Steinbeck. And

283
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:18,080
I'm just wondering if there isn't a
possibility of opening up some other

284
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:24,840
arteries. I think the property right
beside Lond is actually a street, is it

285
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:24,840
not? Lond Lond.

286
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:34,400
Um where we Well, we're not actually we
need to focus on this this uh this

287
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:36,559
hearing right now. We're talking about
58 East, right?

288
00:22:35,919 --> 00:22:39,679
» Yes, we are.
>> And and so you have you have traffic

289
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:45,600
concerns.
>> Yes.

290
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:49,919
» And that's good. I I to start guessing
where what's going to happen with L

291
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:55,280
where that's going to be what what kind
of drainage plans going to be for that

292
00:22:51,919 --> 00:22:58,559
for lot 81 and 80 as they develop. I
don't I don't want to get into that. We

293
00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:01,280
want to focus on
>> geese

294
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:04,400
» 58 greet. That's what we're talking
about today.

295
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:09,840
» Thank you.
>> And and yes, the traffic is directly

296
00:23:07,679 --> 00:23:13,280
affected though like
>> so that is that is the is the second

297
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:16,240
concern I have.
>> Okay.

298
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:19,880
» Thank you.
>> Thank you very much.

299
00:23:23,039 --> 00:23:34,400
» Any anyone else? Go ahead. Yeah.
>> Hi. Uh Trevor Newfeld. I live at 316

300
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:39,039
McKenzie in Steinbeck here. And um I ju
I was just uh just had a few thoughts

301
00:23:36,559 --> 00:23:45,200
and questions, concerns I guess about
this property. um uh the the previous

302
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:50,640
man who was uh speaking here, I believe
that the the connection for him, I

303
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:58,080
realize he was uh maybe speaking about
another property, but his wisdom of see

304
00:23:54,080 --> 00:24:02,559
his idea about the opinions addresses uh
of of different places, I should say, um

305
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:07,600
rather than just possibly putting this
addition or this building on this

306
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:12,720
property would sort of address um city
planning as opposed to developer for

307
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:19,279
setting up an opportunity to earn extra
income. And I guess that is uh is is I

308
00:24:16,559 --> 00:24:26,320
think that's a valid question um for
this and and others as well. Does the

309
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:31,360
city have a plan um instead of infill
that would be more appropriate and less

310
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:37,760
damaging potentially for the immediate
residents? That could also gain um uh

311
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:43,279
the amount of people that you want to
bring in, the tax increases, the

312
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:49,200
revenue, the business uh business, what
potential all that. Um, one thing I had

313
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:54,559
heard the developer talking about was um
I may have mis I may have misunderstood

314
00:24:52,000 --> 00:25:00,559
but end of he saying it has sort of
reached its end of life um home. I I I'm

315
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:05,679
not sure about clarification on that.
We're living in a beautiful home built

316
00:25:02,559 --> 00:25:09,120
in 1943. That home is a lot newer than
our home. Not saying that every home has

317
00:25:07,679 --> 00:25:13,679
been built at the same quality, but
unless I misunderstood, I don't think a

318
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:18,480
home is at It's like a car. it will keep
working till you stop fixing it. U so to

319
00:25:16,799 --> 00:25:23,520
say that a home is at the end of its
life, if I understood that correctly, is

320
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:29,440
I think it's very inaccurate. It's
opportunistic. Um I get that. Um the

321
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:35,120
fact that there's an open lot beside it
as well. Um, I would imagine that like

322
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:43,279
if you're replacing one family with 12
families or 20 or 24, I mean in this

323
00:25:39,039 --> 00:25:47,919
case 12, but in in any situation,
why that many to replace one residential

324
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:54,000
property
of one family with 12 families and

325
00:25:51,520 --> 00:26:00,080
that's small compared to what some are
that are being done. That's huge for the

326
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:05,120
residents. So for these these folks and
others who probably are too scared to

327
00:26:01,679 --> 00:26:10,240
come up here and talk I I think that um
it's not maybe necessarily we can say

328
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:14,559
it's not right in their backyard uh or
as it was said it's maybe adjacent or

329
00:26:13,120 --> 00:26:20,720
whatever. I didn't didn't look at the
map on that. But I mean, imagine for all

330
00:26:17,679 --> 00:26:28,000
of for all of you if I could get each
one of your addresses and use AI to put

331
00:26:23,679 --> 00:26:32,320
a 24 12plex, 20 plex, whatever on your
neighbor's property,

332
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:36,559
it becomes personal and it's not
personal for me to say that because any

333
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:42,803
well, it's not any more personal that
way than for um this to be approached to

334
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:46,400
them, right? So, I mean, you you
>> [laughter]

335
00:26:43,360 --> 00:26:50,080
» Every single one of us can potentially
with the idea of let's go with

336
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:57,600
development, we can all potentially if
we don't respect the the zoning that is

337
00:26:53,520 --> 00:27:04,559
already in place and use future planning
city planning to go whoa he has a point.

338
00:27:01,039 --> 00:27:08,480
Maybe we can use future areas like I've
seen in some cities they have a

339
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:12,799
beautiful zone of residential like low
low density and they keep it that way.

340
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:18,720
Then they have right maybe next to it
they've got different levels. So that's

341
00:27:14,559 --> 00:27:24,320
that's a thought. Um in this case why
not build a duplex or if if they want to

342
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:29,200
develop develop a property on a home on
each property. That'll bring in much

343
00:27:25,919 --> 00:27:33,279
more income. Not as much as a 12plex but
a lot of the rent people who are going

344
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:37,919
to rent these 12plexes also potentially
long term aren't going to look after it

345
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:41,760
necessarily as well. We've seen that in
other places and even some of them along

346
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:46,880
McKenzie that have been built in the
last few years. There's a whole run of

347
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:50,960
them there. Will you support homeowners,
counselors and mayor and deputy mayor,

348
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:58,000
will you support homeowners that have
been paying very good tax money already?

349
00:27:54,799 --> 00:28:03,600
Um, and think about that in the infill
opportunities that will be presented and

350
00:28:01,039 --> 00:28:09,760
are being presented. Would you enjoy or
accept this in yours? Um

351
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:16,000
uh why would the developers not maybe
first go and try to choose lots that are

352
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:21,440
available? I've checked there are some
that are available for this exact type

353
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:25,440
of thing. I'm not sure. I think it's
less expensive maybe for the developer

354
00:28:23,360 --> 00:28:33,360
to do it here as opposed to others. I'm
not sure. Um makes sense maybe. Um tree

355
00:28:30,799 --> 00:28:36,720
replacement. I said a clarification
question on your um because you said

356
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:42,159
something about if trees are going to be
cut down they will be replaced.

357
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:48,960
Fantastic. 100 million% support that.
But if we look at precedents

358
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:56,640
um McKenzie down um a massive forest was
taken down. I don't know how many 12 24

359
00:28:53,600 --> 00:29:00,080
plexes are in there right now. Literally
from one balcony to the next. They can

360
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:04,720
almost reach over and shake hands. I'm
exaggerating, but it's extremely close.

361
00:29:03,039 --> 00:29:09,440
And some may don't mind living there,
and that's that's fine, but a massive

362
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:14,559
force was taken down for that. I was
really hoping to see some sort of um

363
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:19,039
activities, you know. So, I know I'm
getting off topic, but that is just to

364
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:24,399
address that issue. Where will those
trees be planted? How many were taken

365
00:29:21,039 --> 00:29:28,240
down? And where will those be replanted?
Um, yeah, I guess that's all I have to

366
00:29:26,799 --> 00:29:30,880
say for now.
>> Thank you.

367
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,880
Go ahead.

368
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:45,520
Um, my name is Hannah. We live at 54 GB
Street, which is right beside this

369
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:51,360
property. Um, oh,
went sideways. Um, we just bought this

370
00:29:48,399 --> 00:29:55,440
property a year ago. And one of the
things we really loved was all the trees

371
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:59,440
right beside and most of them are in our
neighbor's yard, um, which we don't have

372
00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:03,520
any control over. Um, so one of my
concerns is with this development coming

373
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:06,799
in, I realize a lot of these trees are
probably going to get cut down and a lot

374
00:30:05,279 --> 00:30:12,880
of that privacy between our two
properties is going to disappear. Um, is

375
00:30:11,279 --> 00:30:15,840
I granted that I'm assuming this
apartment is going to take up most of

376
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:20,320
the width of the property. Is there
plans to put a fence up or anything for

377
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:23,760
privacy between the yards?
>> Okay.

378
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:26,960
Uh, we'll have the developer come back
and answer these questions. Uh, I'm I'm

379
00:30:25,919 --> 00:30:32,399
making notes.
>> Perfect. Uh, so that's question one. Um,

380
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:35,440
question two is there is, uh, you can
see on the property there is a tree that

381
00:30:33,679 --> 00:30:41,120
is on our yard, but it is sticking over
into theirs. Um, so I'm worried that as

382
00:30:38,799 --> 00:30:48,480
they're, uh, building some of that tree
will get, um, trimmed, and I'm not sure

383
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:53,039
how well that tree will survive. Um,
so yeah, I guess my concern is that tree

384
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:57,520
would from our property would be damaged
from the development.

385
00:30:56,000 --> 00:31:04,320
Um,
and I guess my last question is, um, if

386
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:11,520
this does go through, how soon would it
get built? Um, just curiosity of, yeah,

387
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:15,360
we have, we have a newborn, so just want
to know when we can expect a lot of

388
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:20,840
noise right beside us. Um, I think
that's all I have. Thank you.

389
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:20,840
» Thank you.

390
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:33,200
» Okay. Is there anyone else with
comments, questions, or objections?

391
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:36,240
Okay, I'll ask the developer if you did
you want to come and answer some of

392
00:31:34,559 --> 00:31:42,720
those questions.
If you uh I don't know if you you I saw

393
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:46,080
you taking notes, too, but uh I also
have some notes. If you uh

394
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:52,080
» I'll run through them and see if we can
tick as many boxes as we can here um to

395
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:57,862
the votes. Um yeah, you were wondering
about setback. It'll be 25 ft from the

396
00:31:54,720 --> 00:32:01,600
rear. That's as close as we can go.
[clears throat]

397
00:31:58,799 --> 00:32:07,440
As far as trees,
existing part of the allure of infill is

398
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:13,519
the existing trees. If we can keep the
trees, that's great. That's part of the

399
00:32:10,159 --> 00:32:19,919
reason this makes sense. Um, the other
reason, uh, Mr. Newfeld, right? Um, you

400
00:32:16,799 --> 00:32:24,320
said it's it's cheaper. It depends a
little bit on it. Like going and buying

401
00:32:21,679 --> 00:32:30,000
a new RMD lot, going three stories new
bare land in a field. It can be cheaper.

402
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:34,399
It can be more expensive. It depends a
bit on the density and the price of the

403
00:32:31,679 --> 00:32:39,360
lot. But in general, because I'm not
going three stories, I can't put as many

404
00:32:36,559 --> 00:32:44,880
doors on this. It probably is more
expensive than going and buying an empty

405
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:49,919
lot. Um, but the advantage, the reason
that I would do it or do do it is

406
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:54,640
because, um, I talked to one of the
owners of Swift and he's got a guy that

407
00:32:52,559 --> 00:32:59,039
rents down First Street and like the
walkability. Um, home ownership's

408
00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:03,600
getting tougher and tougher. People need
a place to live and rent. So to have,

409
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:08,399
you know, a couple hundred jobs down the
road at at rest haven nursing home

410
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:12,480
that's walkable, Swift, Loen, our
biggest employer in Steinach, to be

411
00:33:10,559 --> 00:33:17,279
within walking and biking distance to
work. That's part of the reason these

412
00:33:14,399 --> 00:33:21,919
infills work. And when you go down Wood
Haven further or McKenzie West, you get

413
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:27,440
a little further from the industry,
which then makes people drive, which

414
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:30,240
makes them, you know, less desirable to
some people if they don't have cars.

415
00:33:29,563 --> 00:33:35,600
» [gasps]
>> Um, so 25 ft. We'll try to keep as many

416
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:40,880
trees. One, it costs money to cut trees
down and haul them away. And two, we

417
00:33:38,399 --> 00:33:45,279
want more trees. They're good. They help
uh and the less trees I then have to

418
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:52,000
plant as well because you get credit for
existing trees if they stay. Um

419
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:57,919
part of a development agreement is
uh if a residential medium density

420
00:33:55,679 --> 00:34:03,120
property gets developed next to single
or low density, you have to fence the

421
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:08,800
property line. So there will be a fence
around the property if you're worried

422
00:34:04,399 --> 00:34:15,280
about cutting. Um it'll be fenced.
Um the flooding concerns um just so you

423
00:34:12,720 --> 00:34:20,800
know um I have to pay an engineer, a
civil engineer to develop a plan. They

424
00:34:18,399 --> 00:34:26,560
come and survey it and there's something
called runoff coefficients and when it

425
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:32,320
rains, think of the property more like
uh a bucket that you poke a pen through.

426
00:34:30,159 --> 00:34:36,560
It's a metered amount that's allowed to
come onto a street or into a ditch. It's

427
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:40,800
not like a plate where it can all just
spill off the parking lot. So that's

428
00:34:38,879 --> 00:34:45,119
part of applying for a permit and
getting a development. So I wouldn't

429
00:34:43,119 --> 00:34:49,919
know this for sure, but right now the
way it is, it can just run off where it

430
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:55,359
wants. I would suspect that once there's
a plan in place, it will actually

431
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:59,520
release less water as quickly into the
city right away [clears throat] than it

432
00:34:57,359 --> 00:35:04,880
does now. That would be my guess because
you're only allowed to release so much.

433
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:09,040
Um, you were concerned about light
spillage. Uh there is a bylaw actually

434
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:15,200
for light spillage in parking lot
lighting. Um LED lights are endlessly

435
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:19,359
penetrating now. So if it's exterior
lighting, it's supposed to be shielded

436
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:24,800
in parking lots. And then the pot lights
that might go in a set or on a balcony

437
00:35:21,359 --> 00:35:32,000
should be downward. So
um traffic lights are going up should be

438
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:38,160
ready this fall which helps. Uh Mr. W
you talked about uh street and yeah the

439
00:35:35,359 --> 00:35:43,520
road is a designated a collector itself
it's it's supposed to be able to handle

440
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:48,160
this now whether it does or parking or
the traffic and Tim Hortons that's

441
00:35:45,599 --> 00:35:54,640
probably outside my control but the
actual street itself is designated as a

442
00:35:50,560 --> 00:36:00,640
collector street. Um
that's the majority of um Hannah right

443
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:07,119
um you moved in a year ago. We're going
to fence it. I if that tree is like

444
00:36:05,359 --> 00:36:13,200
until it's staked out, we don't know for
sure. But if I can keep it, the building

445
00:36:09,359 --> 00:36:18,320
is set back from the property line 6 ft,
6 or 8 ft, I forget exactly. So, the

446
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:22,079
satellite may not get exact line of
sight over top where it is, but we may

447
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:26,720
have to prune some of the branches on
our side, but we would do everything we

448
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:31,520
can to to keep the tree for sure. And uh
if this does go ahead, I do the building

449
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:36,240
and contracting too. So I'll give you my
cell number. And uh if you ever have

450
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:41,119
concerns or you know depending on nap
schedule, I've had four kids. I know

451
00:36:37,839 --> 00:36:46,160
that that that can be a thing that you
know we'll there's also noise bylaws for

452
00:36:43,599 --> 00:36:49,520
how early we can start and stuff. So
I'll give you my number. We can figure

453
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:54,640
out and if there's concerns you can call
or text me anytime.

454
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:58,800
» I think that's most I don't know
>> a timeline. I know it's going to take

455
00:36:56,480 --> 00:37:02,800
» Oh yeah, it for sure won't be. It for
sure won't be this year. Soonest would

456
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:09,280
be after road restrictions next year. So
June, that'd be like the absolute

457
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:12,440
soonest it would happen. So
>> thank you.

458
00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:18,160
Uh I will before I close the public
hearing ask one more time, is there

459
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:24,240
anyone else with comments, questions or
objection to this file?

460
00:37:21,599 --> 00:37:27,040
Okay, seeing none, I will close the
public hearing. Open the council

461
00:37:25,599 --> 00:37:30,960
meeting. Council, how would you like to
proceed?

462
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:33,760
» Council Speaker.
>> Thank you, Mr. Mayor. I'll make a motion

463
00:37:32,240 --> 00:37:36,160
to approve.
>> Second by councelor Heert. Go ahead,

464
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:40,560
Councelor Special.
>> Uh, thank you, Mr. Mayor. I want to

465
00:37:38,240 --> 00:37:44,960
thank the applicant for uh presenting
the plans clearly and also neighbors and

466
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:49,920
other residents for coming out and uh
and expressing their their thoughts and

467
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:53,839
asking questions. Uh whenever we look at
a potential resoning like this, we have

468
00:37:52,240 --> 00:37:57,680
a public hearing like what we're doing
now where we hear the information that's

469
00:37:55,680 --> 00:38:01,599
presented and we do our best to come uh
to a decision. Uh in this case here,

470
00:38:00,079 --> 00:38:06,480
there are a number of factors that point
in favor of allowing the reszoning. Uh

471
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:11,280
one of those is that um uh there is
already uh a property right behind it

472
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:16,880
that is currently zoned uh residential
medium density. So, uh, the fact that

473
00:38:13,839 --> 00:38:20,800
this is right beside that that, uh, it's
not it's not that uncommon at all to

474
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:26,960
have one residential property be a
medium density property beside another.

475
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:31,040
Uh, the chain, this is a large lot, uh,
much larger than your typical, you know,

476
00:38:29,839 --> 00:38:36,800
single lot that you're going to see
built uh, happen now in Steinach. And

477
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:41,760
so, this large lot will now have 12
units. Uh on the face of it, going from

478
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:45,040
1 to 12 sounds like a lot, but in the
world of medium density, it's actually

479
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:49,280
not a massive increase, especially when
you consider the size of the lot. It's

480
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:55,839
only going to be twotory, which frankly
many houses are two stories. And so, um

481
00:38:53,119 --> 00:39:00,640
you got 12 units on a large lot. That is
not uncommon for a residential medium

482
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:04,880
density. Um as far as the question that
was raised regarding traffic, uh well,

483
00:39:03,119 --> 00:39:09,520
what would the impact be? Well, my
estimate would be that if you have 12

484
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:14,720
units, you'd probably have 12 cars. Um,
so maybe 12 extra cars per day. Is that

485
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:19,200
likely to have a massive impact on
Gizburg Street? No. I mean, there's a

486
00:39:17,359 --> 00:39:22,320
lot of traffic on Gizburg Street. A lot
of people driving through Gizburg

487
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:25,520
Street. Frankly, with a lot of collector
streets, the main traffic isn't actually

488
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:28,640
from the people who live right there.
It's the traffic from all the people

489
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:33,200
that are trying to get from one place to
the other that are going through there.

490
00:39:30,720 --> 00:39:36,720
And obviously we know that there are
issues in the area. That's why we've

491
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:40,320
been lobbying the province for years to
finally put those lights in. And they

492
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:44,720
the province says those lights are
actually going in this year. And that's

493
00:39:42,079 --> 00:39:50,480
and that's good. But I we should not
look at 58 G Street as a significant

494
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:54,640
impact on the traffic because again 12
cars that's probably what uh what the

495
00:39:53,119 --> 00:39:58,400
impact is going to be which in the grand
scheme of thing is not is not a huge

496
00:39:56,320 --> 00:40:02,000
difference. uh drainage concerns. I
think been adequately addressed here

497
00:39:59,920 --> 00:40:06,079
that um uh that whenever a property is
redeveloped then there is a development

498
00:40:04,240 --> 00:40:10,480
agreement where water has to be held on
the property and can only be released at

499
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:15,040
a certain a certain uh pace which the
applicant has explained very well and

500
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:19,280
very clearly and uh the question was
raised you know as far as why here and

501
00:40:17,119 --> 00:40:23,440
why not somewhere else. Well, it's
always a question that that can be asked

502
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:28,320
whenever you have any kind of resoning.
Um, and yes, it is true that when

503
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:31,680
developers build these types of
properties, they are hoping to earn

504
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:36,079
money from it. But I want to be clear
that if you don't have if developers

505
00:40:34,079 --> 00:40:41,599
don't earn money from projects, you have
no development. So yes, the city has

506
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:45,440
plans. We have our we have our official
community plan where we set this is what

507
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:50,000
the general categories are, where we
expect growth to occur. We have our

508
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:54,400
zoning bylaw which is more specific as
far as the exact zoning categories. But

509
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:57,839
the city doesn't do development. The
city doesn't build neighborhoods. We

510
00:40:56,000 --> 00:41:02,240
don't build houses. It would be a
disaster if we didn't have private

511
00:40:59,359 --> 00:41:06,000
developers. If we if we started saying
no to every development and saying that

512
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:09,359
no, we don't want to we don't want to
have development where developers are

513
00:41:07,599 --> 00:41:13,200
making money, we would just have no
development. And so u not all

514
00:41:11,599 --> 00:41:18,000
developments are good. And that's why in
a public hearing, um, developers and

515
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:21,359
neighbors don't know and how it's going
to go until we actually have the

516
00:41:19,119 --> 00:41:25,440
hearing. But in this case, I think that
when you consider that you have a medium

517
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:29,920
density property, uh, already right
beside it, you already have uh, you have

518
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:33,680
a large lot. It's not a massive increase
in density, you know, on a medium

519
00:41:31,359 --> 00:41:36,640
density to go to 12 units. The drainage
will be addressed. It's not a

520
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:40,000
significant impact on traffic when you
look at the grand scheme of things. And

521
00:41:38,240 --> 00:41:43,119
frankly, I think that the applicant did
an extremely good job of answering the

522
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:46,240
questions and presenting a clear and
comprehensive plan. So based on all

523
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:50,880
those factors, I think it's it's
reasonable to approve the resoning.

524
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:55,440
» Thank you, counselor. Anything further?
>> Yes. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. I will first

525
00:41:53,359 --> 00:41:58,560
of all make uh a point that I live on
one of those streets that has 200

526
00:41:56,720 --> 00:42:03,119
apartments right on my street and I'm
okay with it. Actually, impacts, traffic

527
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:06,880
impact is actually not bad at all, and I
have good neighbors down the street. Uh

528
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:11,760
there's it's a solid place as far as
that goes. Secondly, I want to just say

529
00:42:09,839 --> 00:42:15,680
I agree with what councelor Sora has
said, but the lot behind this lot is for

530
00:42:14,319 --> 00:42:19,200
medium density and there's going to be
medium density there in the future. So

531
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:23,920
they basically attach to each other. The
fact that it is basically not against

532
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:28,000
any other property right now, I think
speaks well for it. And as far as

533
00:42:26,079 --> 00:42:30,720
traffic goes, like councelor Swager
says, I don't think that will be an

534
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:35,280
issue and especially with the lights
going on on 52. So, no, I have I have no

535
00:42:33,599 --> 00:42:38,960
problem with it. I I appreciate the
concerns that you all have and I think

536
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:42,240
at the end of the day, this will turn
out to be a good good thing for the

537
00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:45,200
community and for the neighborhood.
Thank you.

538
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:48,000
» Anything further, council? Go ahead,
council.

539
00:42:46,974 --> 00:42:52,880
[clears throat]
>> Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Uh just a couple

540
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:56,800
comments. I'll vote in favor of of the
motion as stated. Just a couple

541
00:42:54,720 --> 00:43:00,960
comments. Uh
52 feet from my patio door is a

542
00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:06,560
three-story building. There's nine
balconies that look on my deck, so I do

543
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:11,920
know what that feels like. And uh we
moved there and uh there was an addition

544
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:16,800
done and I'm okay with it. Uh very okay
with it. So I understand what it is, but

545
00:43:14,240 --> 00:43:21,520
I also stand understand the threat of
somebody building in your neighborhood.

546
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:26,480
Uh it's very real and there are concerns
and uh but they can be alleviated. I

547
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:30,640
appreciate uh the response by the
developer. That's important. My son also

548
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:36,800
lives on Geese. He lives across the
street from Mr. Wis and I know full well

549
00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:41,280
the amount of water that flows down that
street when when the creeks start to

550
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:45,359
back up in Steinbeck and that doesn't
start in Steinbeck that starts in the

551
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:49,440
arm of Hanover and that whole creek
backs up. It backs up a long way when

552
00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:54,800
there's a torrential downpour. We're
very flat and our streets become the

553
00:43:52,079 --> 00:44:00,720
collector. That's how we can't build
pipes big enough to uh take all the

554
00:43:57,040 --> 00:44:05,280
water all the time. there's just uh not
financially feasible. So there we we do

555
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:10,400
have a lot of water and I was driving
down that street the last big rain. So

556
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:14,560
there those are also concerns but I also
appreciate the fact uh our engineering

557
00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:19,680
department our development agreement it
works over and over it has worked where

558
00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:24,560
only x amount of water is able to be
released and it was explained as a

559
00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:29,119
bucket with a hole in it. Uh that is one
way to explain it but it does work and

560
00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:32,640
uh hopefully it does work here too.
Hopefully I say hopefully I'm also not

561
00:44:30,720 --> 00:44:37,760
an engineer. Uh but I've seen it it
works and it works. One of the issues we

562
00:44:35,599 --> 00:44:43,040
have in Stein we have a lot of growth
and uh growth is painful in many ways

563
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:49,280
and uh this is part of it. When we talk
about infill we talk about uh what that

564
00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:54,079
looks like. all these multif family
homes going in in Steinbeck all over the

565
00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:59,359
place and before they're completed
they're full they're rented we don't

566
00:44:56,640 --> 00:45:03,200
have vacancies in Steinbeck so uh it is
also critical that we continue to uh

567
00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:06,640
invite the people that live in Steinbeck
I don't know where they all come from

568
00:45:04,240 --> 00:45:12,319
and I don't know where they all work uh
and all those but I do know that uh we

569
00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:17,520
look at our our long-term plan we look
at our short-term plan on a on a yearly

570
00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:22,960
basis during our study sessions and It
is important that we continue to allow

571
00:45:19,359 --> 00:45:29,200
development. Uh we do deny developments
in different areas when uh it doesn't

572
00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:34,400
fit. But I do think that uh it does fit
here for all the reasons that were given

573
00:45:32,079 --> 00:45:40,240
and also I appreciate the words from uh
the contractor who has said yeah it's a

574
00:45:37,599 --> 00:45:45,280
walkability to to loan to a lot of the
different uh businesses that are within

575
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:51,680
walking distance.
>> Thank you. Anything further of councel?

576
00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:54,960
Anything in closing?
>> Well, I'd like to thank everyone for

577
00:45:53,280 --> 00:46:00,160
coming out like to thank for your
comments and um you know some of the

578
00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:05,040
concern drainage is a real concern
always is and that's why we are so uh

579
00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:09,920
our our staff work so hard at drainage
and that's why we require all new

580
00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:16,880
development to deal with the water on
their own. And as as uh Mr. Loen said

581
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:21,040
it's Yeah. It's like it's like a filling
up a bucket and letting a pinhole and

582
00:46:19,119 --> 00:46:28,960
letting it go out. That's that's how it
works. Um Mr. Newfalt, um you talked

583
00:46:25,359 --> 00:46:35,520
about it being in our backyard. Um we we
have moved but we a house we loved for

584
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:43,760
many many years uh downtown here, 195
lumber. There was 72 units built behind

585
00:46:39,119 --> 00:46:48,480
us. Two two two buildings of 36.
And yeah, you know what? It was scary

586
00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:56,640
when it happened. It's completely scary,
but we uh with with plantings, fences,

587
00:46:53,359 --> 00:47:00,240
um setbacks, it it was amazing how
beautifully it worked, right?

588
00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:03,040
» Pardon?
>> You moved.

589
00:47:01,119 --> 00:47:06,960
» Oh, we only moved because we Okay, it
was a health thing. We had to move.

590
00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:10,000
Okay. Uh my wife developed bad knees and
we couldn't do the stairs. It was a

591
00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:16,960
two-story home. Otherwise, we'd still be
there. We love that place. And um um

592
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:20,319
yeah, it um we hardly notice the
traffic. Yeah, there it it should have

593
00:47:19,119 --> 00:47:24,319
increased the traffic, but we didn't
notice it because the roads are built to

594
00:47:21,839 --> 00:47:30,400
take it. Um there's there's so many
things. Council's hear the story many

595
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:36,079
many times. I'm saying this for you. Um
Anna from 54 GB, we had a situation

596
00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:42,079
where there was a huge tree on our
neighbor's yard and it was starting to

597
00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:46,079
really look bad. And so we asked them,
we hired arborists. We asked them if we

598
00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:51,599
could trim the tree. Arbor came in,
trimmed the tree. It was very expensive.

599
00:47:49,839 --> 00:47:56,800
And uh they didn't want to, they didn't
want to participate in the paying of the

600
00:47:53,520 --> 00:48:01,920
arborist. That tree because it hung over
it was on their property, but it was on

601
00:47:58,720 --> 00:48:07,280
our property. It ended up being the most
beautiful tree of them all because we we

602
00:48:05,359 --> 00:48:11,200
actually took care of the trimming and
trimmed it correctly. I do believe that

603
00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:16,640
Mr. loan will do the right thing with
that tree as well. Uh I've never seen

604
00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:20,400
that before where a developer said he's
going to give you your his cell phone

605
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:25,359
number. You got a special thing there. I
think you can work a great relationship

606
00:48:22,559 --> 00:48:31,200
out here with that. Uh but I do want to
thank everyone for coming out. I do want

607
00:48:27,599 --> 00:48:35,839
to thank you for your concerns. But um
when when you talk about like council,

608
00:48:34,079 --> 00:48:41,520
this happened to you as you can hear
some of us. We've all had multif family

609
00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:46,160
in our backyard and multif family and
single family dwellings can actually

610
00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:52,880
work and live very harmoniously
together. They do. Uh and and we you've

611
00:48:50,319 --> 00:48:58,880
got 200. You've got I don't know how
many you have, but we had 72. And it

612
00:48:55,359 --> 00:49:03,280
does work. So u
call for the question. All those in

613
00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:06,280
favor? Opposed? That is carried. Thank
you.

614
00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:21,280
We have 6B. This is
variance V 202617.

615
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:26,480
This is referring to 210 Hover Road
West. At this time, I will close the

616
00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:33,240
council meeting, open the public
hearing. Uh, Mr. Orcadine, can you

617
00:49:29,200 --> 00:49:33,240
please introduce this file?

618
00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:46,160
Thank you, Mr. Mayor. The application
for variance under file V-20226-17

619
00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:52,079
for 210 Hover Road West uh is being
applied for by Leonard Frail, who also

620
00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:56,640
is the owner. Purpose of the variance
application is to permit an east

621
00:49:53,760 --> 00:50:02,880
sideyard setback of 10.85 85 ft for an
accessory building

622
00:49:58,640 --> 00:50:08,720
uh in the DR2 development reserve 2 zone
uh where that zone requires a minimum uh

623
00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:12,079
sideyard setback of 15 ft. Notices as
are required under the planning act have

624
00:50:10,559 --> 00:50:16,640
been issued. There is no written
correspondence on file.

625
00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:21,440
Uh the building location certificate
provided uh shows an existing accessory

626
00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:26,480
building on the site uh which already
has a sideyard of 10.85 ft. Uh the

627
00:50:24,319 --> 00:50:32,720
proposed building is adjacent uh as
shown on the site plan um which uh is

628
00:50:30,319 --> 00:50:36,640
the purpose of the uh proposed reduced
sideyard setback. Recommendation for

629
00:50:34,960 --> 00:50:40,240
council is to approve the application
subject to any new information that is

630
00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:45,920
presented.
>> Thank you. Mr. Working is the applicant

631
00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:50,640
here today. Do you wish to speak?
>> Um I can

632
00:50:48,800 --> 00:50:55,200
again I'll ask you to take the podium.
>> Yep. My name is Leonard Frail, 210

633
00:50:53,280 --> 00:51:00,240
Hanover Road West.
>> Have lived there eight years.

634
00:50:57,680 --> 00:51:06,800
» We have a very good relationship with
the neighbor next door to us who would

635
00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:11,359
be directly involved uh in this. And the
main proposal for the the variance is

636
00:51:09,119 --> 00:51:17,359
just to line up the new building with
the old building which has been there

637
00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:22,880
guessing 80 years. Um it's a very old
farmstead

638
00:51:19,680 --> 00:51:29,359
and Yeah, the the line of stars on the
bottom is is mature uh pine trees.

639
00:51:26,240 --> 00:51:33,599
They're about 30 40 ft high. Uh don't
really want to cut those down. And so

640
00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:39,280
that's why we kind of want to set it
where it is. Uh the driveway that exists

641
00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:42,400
is still from the old farmstead and so
we're trying to keep it within those

642
00:51:40,720 --> 00:51:46,160
confines.
>> Okay.

643
00:51:44,079 --> 00:51:50,079
Thank you very much. Uh any questions
from council?

644
00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:55,440
» Yeah. Thank you.
Um, you can take your seat. Is there

645
00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:59,400
anyone here with comments, questions, or
objections to this file?

646
00:52:00,640 --> 00:52:06,839
Is there anyone here with comments,
questions, or objections to this file?

647
00:52:08,240 --> 00:52:15,119
I will ask one more time. Is there
anyone here with comments, questions, or

648
00:52:11,839 --> 00:52:19,440
objections to this file?
Seeing none, I will close the public

649
00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:23,359
hearing, open the council meeting.
Council, how would you like to proceed?

650
00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:27,200
Councelor Semons.
>> Motion to approve.

651
00:52:24,559 --> 00:52:32,559
» Second by councelor Susan Penner. Go
ahead, Council Se.

652
00:52:28,960 --> 00:52:36,480
» In 2018, the city of Steinbeck annexed a
lot of land from the a friendly

653
00:52:34,240 --> 00:52:41,040
annexation from the RM of Hanover. This
was and then we accept all the different

654
00:52:39,760 --> 00:52:44,000
variances and all the different
properties that come with it. This is

655
00:52:42,559 --> 00:52:50,480
the property that came with that
annexation and so uh what the rules that

656
00:52:48,240 --> 00:52:55,040
were under the arm of handover or 80
years ago potentially when this original

657
00:52:52,800 --> 00:53:00,800
building was built.
So uh in my opinion this this works. The

658
00:52:59,359 --> 00:53:05,359
neighbors not complaining about it.
They're h the neighbors are happy with

659
00:53:02,160 --> 00:53:11,599
it. It lines up uh with an existing
building that was built uh many years

660
00:53:07,119 --> 00:53:16,880
ago and it's a rural property uh that
has been under city jurisdiction since

661
00:53:13,839 --> 00:53:19,359
2018 and I think it works.
>> Thank you. Any further?

662
00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:22,400
» Nothing further.
>> Anything further council?

663
00:53:21,359 --> 00:53:27,040
» Anything in closing?
>> No sir.

664
00:53:23,119 --> 00:53:33,760
» Okay. Call question. All those in favor
post? That is carried.

665
00:53:30,319 --> 00:53:42,559
Okay. Council, we have 6C. This is
conditional use CU 2026-10.

666
00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:50,520
This is referring to 75 Industrial Road.
It's on page 28 of our package. Uh, Mr.

667
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:50,520
Wing, could you please introduce this?

668
00:53:51,920 --> 00:53:57,640
» Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Conditional use
file application CU-2026-10

669
00:53:57,680 --> 00:54:05,359
for 75 industrial road is being applied
for by Jordan Lohan. The owner of the

670
00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:10,800
property is one21-661
Manitoba LTD. Purpose of the conditional

671
00:54:08,160 --> 00:54:14,559
use application is twofold. Firstly, to
permit the construction of an an

672
00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:21,760
industrial multi-use
site as per zoning bylaw 2245 industrial

673
00:54:18,480 --> 00:54:25,280
multi-use uh is defined as a building
established to accommodate a range of

674
00:54:23,520 --> 00:54:29,839
primarily industrial businesses on a
single lot with individual units that

675
00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:34,160
can be rented or subdivided as part of a
condominium development. And secondly,

676
00:54:32,160 --> 00:54:39,920
to permit a caretaker's residence to be
located on the subject. Uh, zoning bylaw

677
00:54:36,640 --> 00:54:43,760
2245 defines a caretaker's residence as
an accessory dwelling on a

678
00:54:41,760 --> 00:54:48,559
non-residential property occupied by the
person or family who oversees or guards

679
00:54:45,760 --> 00:54:53,119
the operation and it is a conditional
use requirement under that zoning bylaw.

680
00:54:51,520 --> 00:54:57,520
Notices as are required under the
planning act have been issued. There is

681
00:54:54,559 --> 00:55:01,359
no written correspondence on file.
Uh with respect to the application um

682
00:54:59,760 --> 00:55:07,119
the subject property is located in the
Steinbeck Industrial Park with land

683
00:55:03,520 --> 00:55:12,160
surrounding uh the subject zoned M2 and
nearby parcel zoned M1 light industrial.

684
00:55:10,480 --> 00:55:17,200
Uh the report from the city planner
provides comments with respect to the

685
00:55:13,520 --> 00:55:21,839
subject property. Uh and uh
in addition uh in the application the

686
00:55:19,839 --> 00:55:26,079
actual uses or tenants of the proposed
facility have not been listed. uh and

687
00:55:24,319 --> 00:55:30,640
the application indicates the intention
to permit multiple tenants with multiple

688
00:55:27,920 --> 00:55:33,680
uses. Uh the application would not
appear to have any negative impacts

689
00:55:32,079 --> 00:55:38,400
arising from the proposed multi-use
component for the proposed caretaker's

690
00:55:36,319 --> 00:55:41,599
residence. If council is prepared to
consider the approval, the applicant

691
00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:46,480
should demonstrate that it is that its
proposal in the M2 heavy industrial zone

692
00:55:44,480 --> 00:55:50,480
is appropriate as this zone permits the
po the most intensive types of

693
00:55:48,160 --> 00:55:56,079
industrial development which may require
substantial mitigation to avoid sound

694
00:55:52,960 --> 00:56:00,000
noise or odor impacts uh for the
property itself or for neighboring

695
00:55:57,599 --> 00:56:03,440
properties. Uh council should also
consider if approving this residence in

696
00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:08,240
this circumstance would broaden the
caretaker's residence provision uh

697
00:56:05,680 --> 00:56:13,119
beyond the intended purpose and permit
general residential use on an industrial

698
00:56:10,319 --> 00:56:18,480
property uh simply by associating the
occupant with general site security or

699
00:56:15,440 --> 00:56:22,480
oversight. Uh the definition uh that is
provided in the zoning bylaw is quite

700
00:56:20,319 --> 00:56:26,319
clear and as the applicant intends to
permit multiple tenants and multiple

701
00:56:24,160 --> 00:56:30,079
uses on the site and the functional
relationship between the proposed

702
00:56:27,839 --> 00:56:34,400
resident, the dwelling and an
identifiable operation that is being

703
00:56:31,839 --> 00:56:37,920
overseen or guarded uh is not clear or
determined. And accordingly, a

704
00:56:35,920 --> 00:56:42,640
recommendation uh is for council to
approve the proposed industrial

705
00:56:39,599 --> 00:56:47,839
multi-use component uh but to deny uh
the proposed caretakers residents under

706
00:56:44,880 --> 00:56:51,920
this application.
>> Thank you, Mr. Morgan. Um the

707
00:56:49,839 --> 00:56:55,559
applicant's here, would you wish to
speak? Sure.

708
00:56:59,920 --> 00:57:09,280
» Uh Jordan loan triple 4. Um
yeah, the owner numbered company, but he

709
00:57:06,799 --> 00:57:16,640
owns Steak Fire Protection. Um it's a
hold code that owns the property. Um his

710
00:57:12,319 --> 00:57:22,000
intent, um would be that he moves on to
the property uh for a couple main

711
00:57:18,960 --> 00:57:26,160
reasons. One of them, um he has a cabin,
so he's there three nights a week

712
00:57:23,920 --> 00:57:30,720
through the year. Um he's got a house in
Steinach as well, and to have the

713
00:57:27,839 --> 00:57:33,760
property as well is just a lot. Um, so
he wants to sell his house and move on

714
00:57:32,480 --> 00:57:39,040
to the property. This would be his
primary residence as the caretaker for

715
00:57:35,760 --> 00:57:43,839
the property. Um, not all dissimilar
than what Fern Fzen proposed uh, two

716
00:57:41,599 --> 00:57:48,160
Junes ago, I believe, which was passed
unanimously just around the corner.

717
00:57:45,680 --> 00:57:55,200
Never got built, but um, that's what he
did. Um, Samic Fire Protection already

718
00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:59,760
is an operating it's the key renter on
this part. It's the only one he owns it.

719
00:57:57,359 --> 00:58:03,839
uh he wants to develop some other ones
and uh he doesn't know who's going to

720
00:58:02,400 --> 00:58:08,240
rent them, but it would be like the
typical, you know, anywhere from a

721
00:58:05,920 --> 00:58:14,000
thousand to 2,000 square foot shops down
there, whether they turn into man caves

722
00:58:11,119 --> 00:58:18,079
or light industrial or whatever. The
reason for this original conditional use

723
00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:21,680
is just so the city enters into
development agreement so these don't

724
00:58:19,440 --> 00:58:26,240
turn into a wild west that you don't get
retail and you have parking and you have

725
00:58:23,680 --> 00:58:30,000
all your accessibility in the accessible
bathrooms and all those things

726
00:58:27,440 --> 00:58:34,559
ventilation that weren't happening on
these properties. So, so yes, he does

727
00:58:32,640 --> 00:58:39,839
intend to develop it. Yes, he intends to
lease them, but he would be the one

728
00:58:36,720 --> 00:58:44,559
doing security on the site. Um, and his
main business is the one operating there

729
00:58:41,839 --> 00:58:48,720
already. um up front as the existing
building. Uh one of the other key

730
00:58:46,640 --> 00:58:53,280
reasons he wants to do this is uh he's
on call 247.

731
00:58:50,720 --> 00:58:58,400
Um he does fire alarm testing and
response for uh dozens, hundreds of

732
00:58:56,480 --> 00:59:02,640
buildings in southeast Manitoba. His
tools, his equipment, his parts, and the

733
00:59:00,960 --> 00:59:09,119
keys to a lot of these buildings are
secured in that building. So for him to

734
00:59:05,119 --> 00:59:12,559
travel to work and then to reduces his
response time to a lot of these when

735
00:59:11,040 --> 00:59:18,160
bells are going at two in the morning in
a multif family uh building. So that was

736
00:59:15,599 --> 00:59:23,920
one of the key reasons he uh wanted to
do this as well.

737
00:59:21,280 --> 00:59:30,446
Um
yeah that was most of my points here.

738
00:59:27,839 --> 00:59:34,960
And uh yeah uh the other one he does
[clears throat] get a lot of people

739
00:59:31,440 --> 00:59:39,520
doorchecking here. Um, so to be on site
with, you know, some cameras, motion

740
00:59:36,880 --> 00:59:43,119
detector, early response for him to hit
command start on his vehicle and scare

741
00:59:41,359 --> 00:59:46,720
someone off, that would that would be a
lot of value to him to protect his

742
00:59:44,799 --> 00:59:50,960
business there. So that was the other
point.

743
00:59:48,240 --> 00:59:53,520
» Thank you. Uh, any questions of councel?
Go ahead.

744
00:59:51,680 --> 00:59:58,000
» Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Where in
relationship to these buildings is the

745
00:59:55,760 --> 01:00:02,319
caretaker suite going to be or is going
to be a separate building?

746
00:59:59,599 --> 01:00:07,920
» Uh, no. It'll be in uh the first
rectangle there to the uh above it. So,

747
01:00:05,839 --> 01:00:13,119
he'll be closest to his existing
building in the first phase of what

748
01:00:10,079 --> 01:00:18,520
could be three back there.
>> Thank you, Mr. Mayor.

749
01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:18,520
» Okay. Anything further?

750
01:00:18,799 --> 01:00:27,720
» Okay.
Is there anyone here with comments,

751
01:00:23,119 --> 01:00:27,720
questions, or objections to this file?

752
01:00:29,920 --> 01:00:36,119
Is there anyone here with comments,
questions, or objections to this file?

753
01:00:36,160 --> 01:00:42,640
I'll ask one more time. Is there anyone
here with comments, questions, or

754
01:00:39,680 --> 01:00:48,160
objections to this file?
Seeing none, I will close the public

755
01:00:46,559 --> 01:00:51,920
hearing, open the council meeting.
Council, how would you like to proceed?

756
01:00:50,640 --> 01:00:55,520
» Councelor P.
>> Uh, quick question. Is this supposed to

757
01:00:54,160 --> 01:00:59,680
be two separate motions because there's
two points or just do it all in one?

758
01:00:58,079 --> 01:01:01,680
» Uh, I think it can be done in one
motion.

759
01:01:00,319 --> 01:01:05,680
» Motion.
>> Okay. I motion to approve the industrial

760
01:01:03,760 --> 01:01:11,520
multi-use component and to deny the
proposed caretakers residence.

761
01:01:08,160 --> 01:01:13,920
» Do we have a seconder? Councelor Heber.
>> Go ahead.

762
01:01:12,400 --> 01:01:18,319
» Thank you, Mr. Mayor. The intention of
the industrial park is not for main

763
01:01:16,079 --> 01:01:24,079
residences nor for man caves as far as
that goes. Um, industrial parks are

764
01:01:21,920 --> 01:01:29,680
exactly for what it says, industrial
use. It is not an area we want to begin

765
01:01:27,280 --> 01:01:33,040
having residences. Um, and you know, if
we approve this one, we are going to

766
01:01:31,440 --> 01:01:37,200
start getting a steady stream of people
just wanting, you know, a unit to

767
01:01:34,960 --> 01:01:43,520
oversee their property. Um, that is not
a direction I think we should be going

768
01:01:40,000 --> 01:01:48,640
um with this uh with our industrial
parks at all and obviously not in this

769
01:01:45,839 --> 01:01:52,160
situation either. Thank you. Easy
President.

770
01:01:49,200 --> 01:01:56,160
» Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Uh I did uh go buy
that property and have a good look and

771
01:01:54,000 --> 01:02:01,599
it's a very large property that can
accommodate multi-buildings

772
01:01:58,400 --> 01:02:06,799
on that on that lot there. Obviously,
what we have is multi-buildings. We got

773
01:02:03,359 --> 01:02:11,599
multi-tenants and we have multi-uses. U
this sounds more to me like a sort of a

774
01:02:09,280 --> 01:02:16,960
warehouse project. But when it comes to
the the development of the caretaker

775
01:02:13,839 --> 01:02:21,839
suite, I know reference was made to the
condominium

776
01:02:18,640 --> 01:02:28,480
subdivision just to the to the to the
east. Uh but that one was one where the

777
01:02:24,799 --> 01:02:33,760
developer was in agreement and uh the uh
nobody in the subdivision there objected

778
01:02:30,640 --> 01:02:38,000
to it. It's uh and it's a very small sub
subd district, but like [clears throat]

779
01:02:35,839 --> 01:02:45,680
I said, it's a condominium development
in uh this case. uh to have a actual

780
01:02:41,920 --> 01:02:51,599
residence on that lot. This is not a I I
don't

781
01:02:48,480 --> 01:02:58,079
I I don't see how this is a caretaker's
suite other than it's a straight a

782
01:02:53,680 --> 01:03:03,440
residential uh as as uh mentioned here
and therefore uh to have a residence in

783
01:03:00,240 --> 01:03:06,880
the light industrial I object to. So as
the motion was made I agree with the

784
01:03:05,119 --> 01:03:11,359
whole motion.
Anything further of councel?

785
01:03:09,839 --> 01:03:15,359
» Thank you, Mr. Mayor. I I will support
the motion. I'll just note here that

786
01:03:13,280 --> 01:03:19,119
this is uh the particular zoning here is
M2 heavy industrial zone. So, it's not

787
01:03:17,440 --> 01:03:26,079
even light industrial. It borders light
industrial. Um but um uh sorry, the

788
01:03:23,280 --> 01:03:32,640
Yeah. So the when you consider the
industry uh that we want to attract

789
01:03:29,760 --> 01:03:36,319
having residential properties within our
heavy industrial zone or industrial zone

790
01:03:34,640 --> 01:03:41,119
in general is not the direction that we
want to go. So I do agree with the uh uh

791
01:03:39,599 --> 01:03:45,920
certainly we want the development to
proceed. That's why the motion is uh is

792
01:03:43,839 --> 01:03:50,319
approving that but not the caretaker's
residence because um that the point of

793
01:03:48,720 --> 01:03:54,000
industrial is not to have uh is not to
have residences there especially heavy

794
01:03:51,839 --> 01:03:56,960
industrial.
>> Thank you. Anything further? Anything in

795
01:03:56,559 --> 01:03:59,440
closing?
>> Nothing further.

796
01:03:58,079 --> 01:04:05,079
» Call for the question. All those in
favor

797
01:04:01,599 --> 01:04:05,079
that is carried.

That is carrying. We got 9 C. This is

807
01:04:49,119 --> 01:05:00,000
This refers to 492 498 and 506 McKenzie
Avenue. Council, this is third reading.

808
01:04:56,559 --> 01:05:02,640
Starts on page 38 in our packet. Mr.
Wareen, can you please introduce this

809
01:05:01,839 --> 01:05:08,720
file?
>> Uh, thank you, Mr. Mayor. Bylaw 2273 was

810
01:05:05,359 --> 01:05:14,079
a proposed reszoning bylaw for uh 492
through 506 Mckenzie Avenue and the

811
01:05:12,000 --> 01:05:21,839
public hearing uh was completed some
time ago. Uh the uh required um

812
01:05:19,280 --> 01:05:27,599
development agreement uh and conditions
for uh for the file uh have now

813
01:05:24,880 --> 01:05:31,039
proceeded and are nearing completion.
And uh with that, administration is

814
01:05:29,680 --> 01:05:34,960
prepared to recommend that council
approve third reading to its bylaw

815
01:05:33,119 --> 01:05:39,359
subject to the execution of the
development agreement.

816
01:05:37,440 --> 01:05:42,319
» Okay. Thank you, Mr. Wharting. Council,
how would you like to proceed? Councelor

817
01:05:41,680 --> 01:05:46,640
Heert.
>> Motion to approve

818
01:05:43,680 --> 01:05:52,720
» by Councelor Heert. Go ahead, Councelor.
>> Thank you, Mr. Mayor. As indicated, this

819
01:05:49,280 --> 01:05:56,079
uh is the third reading. first and
second reading were in March and in

820
01:05:54,480 --> 01:06:01,920
April of this year we had the public
hearing and uh again just to uh relate

821
01:06:00,079 --> 01:06:06,319
to this property. There's three three
properties in question. Two of them have

822
01:06:03,599 --> 01:06:11,599
buildings on there right now and uh
there's a church to the rear. I call it

823
01:06:08,400 --> 01:06:16,960
a transition zone to the east and we
have Bosch is to the northeast and

824
01:06:14,319 --> 01:06:22,799
there's number of medium density housing
in the area. I believe it fits in well

825
01:06:20,160 --> 01:06:26,160
into the area and uh I continue to
support this project.

826
01:06:24,319 --> 01:06:29,599
» Thank you. Anything further?
>> No further comment.

827
01:06:27,520 --> 01:06:31,680
» Anything further council?
>> Anything in closing?

828
01:06:30,559 --> 01:06:36,640
» Nothing. Thank you.
>> Call for the question. All those in

829
01:06:32,960 --> 01:06:42,559
favor? That is carried. We got 9D. This
is subdivision 4451

830
01:06:40,079 --> 01:06:47,520
2026
9284.

831
01:06:44,079 --> 01:06:55,599
This is Heritage Parkway
and uh it starts on page 48 on your uh

832
01:06:52,880 --> 01:06:58,720
in your packet. Mr. Waring, could you
please introduce this file?

833
01:06:56,960 --> 01:07:02,119
» Uh thank you, Mr. Mayor. Subdivision
file 4451-26-9284

834
01:07:03,039 --> 01:07:10,480
uh is being applied for uh by a Bergen
on behalf of Steinbeck Campus

835
01:07:07,760 --> 01:07:16,319
Foundation, Inc. Uh the uh subject
property is located on uh Heritage uh

836
01:07:13,440 --> 01:07:22,480
Parkway. Uh as it is vacant, it doesn't
have a specific uh um civic address as

837
01:07:19,839 --> 01:07:26,960
of yet. Uh but the proposal seeks to
subdivide the subject property uh to

838
01:07:24,720 --> 01:07:31,839
accommodate an institutional facility
development. The subject property is

839
01:07:29,520 --> 01:07:35,680
zoned EI educational and institutional
and it is designated as institutional

840
01:07:33,920 --> 01:07:40,720
policy area under the city's official
community plan. Overall site is about

841
01:07:37,920 --> 01:07:44,880
1.4 4 acres. The proposal seeks to
create one new lot from the existing

842
01:07:42,319 --> 01:07:48,400
parcel and the existing parking lot on
the site was created prior to the

843
01:07:46,640 --> 01:07:54,319
opening of Heritage Parkway as a public
road and serves the adjacent uh Eastman

844
01:07:50,720 --> 01:07:58,160
Education Campus facility. Uh it is uh
recommended that council approve the

845
01:07:56,480 --> 01:08:03,920
application under this file subject to
the approval of the required variance

846
01:08:00,000 --> 01:08:08,319
for the site area of proposed lot 2 and
subject to the city's required uh

847
01:08:06,240 --> 01:08:13,280
development fees policies and servicing
requirements.

848
01:08:11,280 --> 01:08:15,520
» Thank you Mr. Wine. Council, how would
you like to approve

849
01:08:15,280 --> 01:08:19,520
sir?
>> Motion to approve.

850
01:08:16,799 --> 01:08:21,520
» Second by council uh Susan Penner. Go
ahead.

851
01:08:20,000 --> 01:08:25,679
» Uh thank you Mr. Mayor. In this case
here, the uh as was noted, the applicant

852
01:08:23,839 --> 01:08:30,319
uh is seeking to subdivide the property
to for uh in into uh there's an

853
01:08:28,799 --> 01:08:35,279
additional lot. This accommodates
institutional facility development. Um I

854
01:08:33,040 --> 01:08:39,839
think uh uh this has been explained well
by our city manager in terms of the

855
01:08:37,839 --> 01:08:43,920
basic application. I don't see I don't
have any concerns. Uh this is of course

856
01:08:41,839 --> 01:08:49,279
subject to uh to a variance for proposed
law too, but uh I think it's appropriate

857
01:08:46,159 --> 01:08:53,600
to approve the subdivision.
>> Yeah. when areas uh we come across this

858
01:08:51,279 --> 01:08:57,839
regularly when areas are being developed
initially there's you know a guesstimate

859
01:08:56,000 --> 01:09:04,239
so to speak of what's going to be needed
where and uh it's not uncommon for uh

860
01:09:01,679 --> 01:09:08,640
developers to come back to us and say
you know we've noticed supply demand has

861
01:09:06,159 --> 01:09:13,120
shifted or you know something's changed
or we have an opportunity so it's very

862
01:09:11,120 --> 01:09:18,799
common for us to approve you know
changes to um development areas so I'll

863
01:09:17,199 --> 01:09:23,759
support the motion
>> thank Thank you. Anything further?

864
01:09:21,920 --> 01:09:28,319
Anything? Close it. Call for the
question. All those in favor post. That

865
01:09:26,319 --> 01:09:34,239
is carried.
9F. This is reszoning

866
01:09:31,279 --> 01:09:39,279
bylaw 2286.
This is referring to 282 Henry Street.

867
01:09:37,920 --> 01:09:43,679
Now, council
>> E.

868
01:09:39,759 --> 01:09:49,440
» Oh, sorry. E re Okay. Reszoning bylaw
2281. Got ahead of myself here. 330

869
01:09:47,359 --> 01:09:55,360
McKenzie Avenue. This is also first
reading. This starts on page 71 on our

870
01:09:52,640 --> 01:09:58,480
in our package.
Mr. Warin, could you please introduce

871
01:09:57,600 --> 01:10:04,080
this file?
>> Uh, thank you, Mr. Mayor. Zoning by

872
01:10:00,320 --> 01:10:09,280
2281, as you mentioned, for property at
330 McKenzie Avenue, uh, is seeking to

873
01:10:06,960 --> 01:10:13,840
reszone the subject property from RLB
residential low density to RMD

874
01:10:11,360 --> 01:10:18,640
residential medium density to permit
multif family construction on the site.

875
01:10:16,320 --> 01:10:23,040
Uh it is recommended that council give
this bylaw first reading so that a

876
01:10:21,520 --> 01:10:28,400
public hearing on the matter may be
scheduled for later this uh fall.

877
01:10:26,239 --> 01:10:31,719
» Thank you Mr. Council. How would you
like to proceed?

878
01:10:32,480 --> 01:10:38,800
» Council Per.
>> Uh motion to approve.

879
01:10:34,800 --> 01:10:45,679
» Second by councilman. Go ahead council.
>> Yes. the um approving first reading just

880
01:10:41,440 --> 01:10:49,600
means that it opens the
what you know what's in question uh to

881
01:10:48,159 --> 01:10:53,520
have a public hearing so we can hear
from the neighborhoods. It's not a

882
01:10:51,360 --> 01:10:58,239
decision on the actual project but it
just opens it up uh to hear what the

883
01:10:55,840 --> 01:11:03,760
neighborhood uh has to say about the
project and after that is when we decide

884
01:11:01,360 --> 01:11:08,480
what will happen.
>> Thank you. Anything further council? Uh

885
01:11:05,600 --> 01:11:13,920
just very briefly, this is a lot that's
uh one of the areas that uh we talk

886
01:11:11,520 --> 01:11:23,040
about frequently as on councils there.
It's a it's a very deep lot in a on a

887
01:11:19,120 --> 01:11:27,520
collector street and that often causes
uh us issues with how to develop that

888
01:11:25,760 --> 01:11:33,199
and uh and the neighboring properties.
So it will be interesting to see what

889
01:11:29,199 --> 01:11:35,760
comes out at uh public hearing.
>> Anything further council? Go ahead,

890
01:11:34,880 --> 01:11:40,880
council.
>> Thank you, Mr. Mayor. I realize this is

891
01:11:37,760 --> 01:11:48,159
going to uh public hearing. Uh I did
look at the lot. I went there and I do

892
01:11:43,360 --> 01:11:52,080
have some concerns as to uh right now
the uh I'm not quite sure that it fits

893
01:11:50,800 --> 01:11:55,520
into that area. And like I said, some of
this will be discussed at the public

894
01:11:53,840 --> 01:12:01,280
meeting. But I also noticed there's a
house in the back that empties or onto

895
01:11:59,280 --> 01:12:04,960
the church parking lot. I don't know if
anybody noticed it's in the bush there

896
01:12:02,800 --> 01:12:08,800
right at the very back of this property.
Might even be on this property. There's

897
01:12:06,480 --> 01:12:13,280
a barn or a shed on there as well. So,
I'm listening to I'm looking forward to

898
01:12:10,880 --> 01:12:17,960
uh hearing what the uh developer has to
say about that.

899
01:12:14,960 --> 01:12:17,960
» Okay.

900
01:12:19,280 --> 01:12:23,760
Anything further council?
Anything in closing?

901
01:12:22,640 --> 01:12:28,960
» No.
>> Call for the question. All in favor?

902
01:12:26,080 --> 01:12:34,960
Opposed? That is carried.
We have 9F. This is reszoning bylaw

903
01:12:32,800 --> 01:12:40,320
2286.
This is referring to 282 Henry Street.

904
01:12:37,760 --> 01:12:43,040
Again, this is also first reading. Mr.
Warint, could you please introduce this

905
01:12:42,159 --> 01:12:49,679
file?
>> Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Bylaw 2286 for 288

906
01:12:46,800 --> 01:12:53,760
Henry Street is also a proposed resoning
for the subject property from RLD

907
01:12:51,840 --> 01:12:57,920
residential low density to RMD
residential medium density. again to

908
01:12:56,000 --> 01:13:05,120
permit the construction of a multif
family building uh on the uh subject. Uh

909
01:13:01,600 --> 01:13:08,880
it uh again is recommended that council
give this bylaw first reading so that a

910
01:13:07,360 --> 01:13:13,280
public hearing may be scheduled for
later this fall.

911
01:13:10,880 --> 01:13:17,120
» Thank you Mr. Wing. Council, how would
you like to proceed? Councelor Swagster.

912
01:13:15,600 --> 01:13:20,480
» Thank you, Mr. Mayor. I'll give a make a
motion for first reading.

913
01:13:18,880 --> 01:13:25,360
» Do we have a second or second by
councelor Bill Heert? Go ahead.

914
01:13:22,159 --> 01:13:29,920
» Uh thank you, Mr. Mayor. As uh uh often
happens, this is an application to

915
01:13:27,360 --> 01:13:33,280
reszone from residential low density to
residential medium density. This is

916
01:13:31,600 --> 01:13:37,440
first reading, which means that if we
give first reading that it enables a

917
01:13:35,280 --> 01:13:40,400
public hearing to be scheduled and so
it's at the public hearing that we'll

918
01:13:38,800 --> 01:13:43,120
hear from the applicant and also from
the neighborhood.

919
01:13:42,320 --> 01:13:46,800
» Anything further?
>> Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Uh it seems like

920
01:13:44,960 --> 01:13:50,080
everybody wants to go from low density
to medium density and this is just

921
01:13:48,239 --> 01:13:53,440
another one, but uh we look forward to
the public hearing and see what the what

922
01:13:51,520 --> 01:13:57,920
the neighborhood has to say. Thank you.
>> Thank you. Anything for Go ahead.

923
01:13:55,520 --> 01:14:02,560
» Again, I'd like to voice some concerns I
have regarding this development here. Uh

924
01:14:00,880 --> 01:14:08,000
Hospital Street is a very busy street.
It's the emergency vehicles uh going to

925
01:14:05,199 --> 01:14:13,040
the hospital, the police, and uh much of
the area is low density. Traffic is very

926
01:14:10,560 --> 01:14:17,280
heavy in that area. We've as council,
we've also talked in the past about even

927
01:14:14,800 --> 01:14:22,239
making that a one-way street. That
didn't go very far, that conversation.

928
01:14:19,440 --> 01:14:25,679
But, uh, I do have concerns, uh, of the
heavy traffic and I'm just wondering if

929
01:14:24,239 --> 01:14:30,400
we shouldn't have that traffic steady
before that building goes in because

930
01:14:27,520 --> 01:14:34,960
it's 12 units.
>> Okay.

931
01:14:32,400 --> 01:14:38,080
Anything further of council,
anything closing?

932
01:14:35,920 --> 01:14:41,920
» Uh, just very briefly, Mr. Mayor, I'm
sure that uh, Council He will raise all

933
01:14:39,920 --> 01:14:46,440
these things during the public hearing
uh, when second reading is being

934
01:14:43,440 --> 01:14:46,440
considered.

935
01:14:46,480 --> 01:14:54,400
» Yes, council. Um this is why we have
first reading so it can go to a public

936
01:14:51,040 --> 01:14:58,159
hearing so we can um invite the
neighborhood if there are any that have

937
01:14:56,159 --> 01:15:03,520
concerns or questions. This is where it
all gets talked about at at the uh and

938
01:15:01,440 --> 01:15:10,800
but it starts here at first reading.
Call for the question. All those in

939
01:15:04,880 --> 01:15:15,760
favor that is carry. We have G 9G. This
is Adeptus Advisory Group Charter

940
01:15:13,600 --> 01:15:21,520
Professional Accountants Inc. This is
their proposal for auditing services for

941
01:15:18,480 --> 01:15:26,880
December 26th. And we got to do this by
resolution. We've had them uh they've

942
01:15:23,920 --> 01:15:32,480
been doing our uh our audits for for a
few years now. Uh I think we've been

943
01:15:29,280 --> 01:15:38,719
pretty happy with this. And this is a uh
this is a quote for what the audit will

944
01:15:34,800 --> 01:15:42,440
be for 2026 if I'm correct. Council, how
would you like to proceed?

945
01:15:42,800 --> 01:15:52,880
» Motion to approve. Second by
councelor Hebert. Go ahead council.

946
01:15:49,520 --> 01:15:57,199
» I'm excited to that the future council
read what the audit will be.

947
01:15:55,040 --> 01:16:02,127
» You sound like it. [laughter]
>> Future council.

948
01:15:59,679 --> 01:16:06,080
» I can't add to that. Thank you.
[laughter]

949
01:16:03,440 --> 01:16:10,400
» Okay. Call for the question. All those
in favor?

950
01:16:07,840 --> 01:16:14,159
That is carried.
Council, we have come upon council

951
01:16:12,560 --> 01:16:17,320
question period. Are there any questions
of councel?

952
01:16:18,560 --> 01:16:26,880
Seeing none, we'll move on to
correspondence petitions. We've got 11A

953
01:16:23,120 --> 01:16:31,199
on page 102. This is the uh Royal Bank
of Canada temporary structure request.

954
01:16:29,840 --> 01:16:34,320
Uh council, how would you like to
proceed? Take his information at this

955
01:16:33,199 --> 01:16:38,080
time.
>> Do we need a motion?

956
01:16:35,360 --> 01:16:40,719
» We need a motion.
>> Have a question.

957
01:16:39,360 --> 01:16:47,840
» Okay.
>> Yeah, we need a motion.

958
01:16:43,840 --> 01:16:52,480
Okay. Um, Mr. Worky, would you introduce
this file?

959
01:16:49,600 --> 01:16:57,920
» Yes, I can gladly do so. Uh, this one is
unusual. It was uh not quite certain

960
01:16:55,520 --> 01:17:01,040
where in the agenda to uh present this
and it landed up in correspondence, but

961
01:16:59,840 --> 01:17:04,640
I do have a report.
>> Okay.

962
01:17:01,520 --> 01:17:11,360
» Uh there is a unique uh along with the
letter of request uh there is uh it is a

963
01:17:08,400 --> 01:17:18,640
unique circumstance. Uh the existing uh
RBC location at the corner of Rhymer

964
01:17:14,080 --> 01:17:23,120
Avenue and Main Street uh is uh a fairly
old property and the building has been

965
01:17:21,199 --> 01:17:27,360
built uh essentially to the rear
property line. While there is an

966
01:17:25,199 --> 01:17:32,560
existing exit door that exits the west
side of the property uh due to some

967
01:17:29,840 --> 01:17:40,480
operational considerations,
uh the uh management of RBC has

968
01:17:36,320 --> 01:17:48,960
requested permission to install uh a u
an accessible um

969
01:17:43,600 --> 01:17:56,560
ramp at that exit door uh for uh life
safety uh uh considerations for its

970
01:17:52,320 --> 01:18:03,199
staff. uh as this uh proposed location
of the accessible ramp would be on a uh

971
01:18:00,320 --> 01:18:07,600
u formal public rightway and essentially
a roadway. Uh this is unique

972
01:18:05,520 --> 01:18:15,600
circumstance. It uh it doesn't follow
fall under normal uh permitting uh or

973
01:18:11,520 --> 01:18:20,320
land use um application provisions. Um
the most similar scenario that uh

974
01:18:18,320 --> 01:18:26,159
administration could come up with was
the uh temporary or seasonal permit uh

975
01:18:24,000 --> 01:18:30,480
or permission that council has approved
for the main street uh patios on main

976
01:18:28,800 --> 01:18:37,120
street of which there are three uh
presently uh functioning in Steinach. Um

977
01:18:35,120 --> 01:18:44,800
recommendation from administration is
that council could uh consider this uh

978
01:18:39,840 --> 01:18:49,600
request u in a similar manner. Um and uh
with respect to uh to the ask uh it is

979
01:18:48,000 --> 01:18:54,560
recommended that council approve this
request for an accessible ramp uh for

980
01:18:51,840 --> 01:18:58,480
emergency use only uh to be permitted on
the public roadway at the location

981
01:18:56,400 --> 01:19:03,199
identified uh subject to an annual
administrative permit application review

982
01:19:00,320 --> 01:19:08,159
and approval process.
>> Thank you Mr. Council. How would you

983
01:19:05,760 --> 01:19:09,920
like to proceed?
>> Council Pinter

984
01:19:08,960 --> 01:19:15,440
» motion to approve.
>> Second by councelor Heert. Any comments?

985
01:19:13,040 --> 01:19:18,239
Well, this may be complicated uh from an
administrative perspective in terms of

986
01:19:17,040 --> 01:19:23,280
figuring out where this goes. I think
it's st pretty straightforward in terms

987
01:19:20,880 --> 01:19:28,960
of an accessibility perspective.
Obviously, we want um our you know

988
01:19:27,199 --> 01:19:32,800
buildings infrastructure in our
community to be accessible and this is

989
01:19:31,120 --> 01:19:38,880
particularly important because it's for
emergency use. So, I think it's actually

990
01:19:35,199 --> 01:19:41,920
a relatively straightforward request. Um
and in addition, if you look at the

991
01:19:40,560 --> 01:19:47,360
photos, there's a dumpster right there.
It's not like vehicle traffic is going

992
01:19:43,840 --> 01:19:50,719
right by that door. Anyways, that is why
I made the motion.

993
01:19:49,120 --> 01:19:54,560
» Thank you. Anything further?
>> Thank you, Mr. Mayor. I think safety is

994
01:19:52,960 --> 01:20:00,560
probably the word that we're looking at
here and emergency ramp would definitely

995
01:19:57,679 --> 01:20:07,199
fall to that and uh as councelor Penner
has stated the the reasons are they make

996
01:20:03,120 --> 01:20:11,679
sense. So, I would definitely approve.
>> Council, thank Mr. Mayor. I'll support

997
01:20:09,679 --> 01:20:17,360
this as well. I mean, I think that if we
are going to approve um patios on city

998
01:20:15,760 --> 01:20:23,040
rightway, I don't think it's
unreasonable to have a similar allowance

999
01:20:20,159 --> 01:20:28,360
for a ramp for accessibility and safety.
So, absolutely, this is an easy one to

1000
01:20:25,360 --> 01:20:28,360
approve.

1001
01:20:28,719 --> 01:20:33,280
» Anything further, council, anything in
closing?

1002
01:20:31,360 --> 01:20:38,159
» Well, I I do have maybe one question.
Um, in terms of having to get a permit

1003
01:20:35,360 --> 01:20:42,080
every year, is that reasonable or can we
just approve it and can just or is that

1004
01:20:40,880 --> 01:20:46,080
just an issue because we don't know
where it fits in?

1005
01:20:43,520 --> 01:20:50,960
» Administratively, it is preferable that
it's subject to an annual permit. Uh,

1006
01:20:48,480 --> 01:20:56,000
there are specific operational uh
conditions that exist today uh that

1007
01:20:53,679 --> 01:21:00,480
didn't exist before and that could also
change in the future. Uh, and then it uh

1008
01:20:58,159 --> 01:21:02,960
it it permits the uh the ramp to be
removed if it's no longer required at

1009
01:21:02,239 --> 01:21:08,400
some point.
>> All right. Thank you.

1010
01:21:04,239 --> 01:21:11,520
» Okay. Okay. Well, council, I I also
agree with all the comments that have

1011
01:21:09,920 --> 01:21:17,040
been said. So, call for the question.
All those in favor?

1012
01:21:13,600 --> 01:21:23,280
That is carried. We've got uh 11B, the
St. Rat Rosa watershed

1013
01:21:19,760 --> 01:21:29,840
district minutes of June 16th, June
17th, June 23rd, July 20th, and July

1014
01:21:26,640 --> 01:21:32,480
21st. Uh, council, how would you like to
proceed? Take his information at this

1015
01:21:31,440 --> 01:21:38,159
time.
>> Thank you. There's no other business.

1016
01:21:34,480 --> 01:21:41,840
Looking for a motion to adjurnn.
>> Councelor Heert, second by councelor

1017
01:21:39,920 --> 01:21:46,239
Semons. Call for the question. All those
in favor? Opposed? That as carried. Next

1018
01:21:44,560 --> 01:21:49,880
regular council meeting is Tuesday,
September 15th.
