In response, to a question from Councillor Berg, Mr. Whitfield advised that the rear access will be at grade. He noted that the new space is designed to be more accessible, but would not be deemed accessible. He advised that the ground floor unit is intended for his parents, and advised that in future they may have mobility concerns, therefore accessibility considerations have been incorporated into the design. Councillor Berg questioned how far from the property line would the new foundation be placed. In addition, Councillor Berg enquired if Mr. Whitfield has spoken to his neighbours about his proposed plans for the property. Mr. Whitfield noted that he has consulted with a structural engineer and spoken to the neighbour.

He enquired if the historical aspects of the building had been taken into consideration. Mr. Whitfield advised that he currently lives next door to the subject property in a two storey red brick home which is approximately 130 years old. The house on the subject property is not as old and was built with minimum building standards. He noted that for the home to be repaired it would be cost prohibitive, and indicated that there had also been additions made to the building that were not sympathetic to the way that people live today. In response to a question from Councillor Neill, Mr. Calvin Chan, Senior Planner explained that the application is before the Committee because the applicant is building a new building that is beyond the existing foot print and increasing the height, and therefore the applicant had to apply through the rezoning process.

6 April 17, 2014 at 6:30 p.m. in Council Chamber, City Hall Page 6 Councillor Scott referred to a map in the agent s presentation and noted that there is very little of the frontage on Hwy 15, but there is a portion of heavily treed frontage, and questioned if the land was owned by Tackaberry, or if it owns just the existing driveway. In response to Councillor Scott, Mr. Keene advised that the treed property is owned by the City. Councillor Scott asked if the company had other operations in this area, and that why was an asphalt or concrete plant proposed on this property when there are other sites that could be used. Mr. Keene advised that the company does have several operations in the area, and that the company has made the decision to use this property. He noted that to truck items from Athens to the Kingston does not make sense. He noted that current provincial requirements suggest that aggregates be as close to markets as possible. Mr. Keene advised that despite one other site, the proposed site will be the closest site that could provide a concrete or asphalt to the City. He noted that this site was also chosen as it is currently used as a quarry. He noted that there is an extensive process to create a new quarry, and spoke to the provincial and municipal regulations regarding creating accessory uses on an existing quarry. Councillor Scott advised that there are quarries off of Unity and Westbrook Roads and that although they are a long way off you can still hear and smell them. He noted that the proposed site is close to a hamlet and an institution and expressed concern on the impact it will have on the people. Mr. Keene noted that there are strategies in place to help mitigate the effects of noise and smells. He also indicated that there are new technologies that can be placed on the machines in order for the machines to emit less noise and smells. He noted that they have to receive ministry approvals, and listed some of the items that must be approved by the Province and the City. Councillor Scott had advised that the property is large and close to a hamlet he enquired if the property could be partially rezoned and that the accessory uses could be put towards the back of the site, so that the neighbouring landowners would not feel like the development is right on their back yard. Mr. Keene noted that limiting accessory through the site plan stage is more appropriate than during the rezoning process. He noted that Tackaberry is a company that is concerned with neighbourhood relations and plan to place the accessory uses as far from the residents as possible The Chair opened up the floor to receive questions and comments from members of the public.

7 April 17, 2014 at 6:30 p.m. in Council Chamber, City Hall Page 7 Mr. Running noted of the current conditions of an asphalt site in Joyceville. He noted that his wife has respiratory health issues, and noted that these types of accessory uses bring much more noise than what the applicant has described, or proposed. Mr. France, expressed disappointment that the Planning Department did not inform residents beyond the minimum range about this development. He noted that this development will affect all residents of the hamlet, and possibly more upwind. He spoke to the various provincial approvals, and noted that the proposed accessory uses is turning the property into industrial which will use dangerous chemicals in order to make asphalt and concrete on site. He noted that the Tackaberry has been a good neighbour, however this development may negatively affect the neighbourhood. He noted that he has been in communication with Councillor Scott, who has shared his experiences living near an asphalt site, and relayed his concerns with the smell. Mr. France spoke to the operations of Tackaberry, and suggested that they put their asphalt, and concrete production businesses at their Westport quarry. Mr. Frank Dixon, described the new pipeline extension in Exhibit B and asked if the pipeline will be used to transport Ninth Line petroleum products. He asked if the expanding quarry uses will affect the safety of all pipelines running through the property, or if it is an investigation that staff should pursue. Mr. Cunningham, noted the proximity of his property to the quarry. He expressed concern with respect to the well water quality, noting of the current amount of water softener required to treat his water. He spoke about his current respiratory ailments and noted that the possible effect more accessory uses may have. In response to the questions and comments made by members of the public, Mr. Keene noted that with respect to the nature of the comments, he will need to further consult with Tackaberry. He will also ask his client about the current pipelines that run through the property, and will issue a response to the Senior Planner, Ms. Lambert. He noted that the need to justify the accessory uses has been removed by the Province, as there is a need to have aggregates as close to the markets as possible. Mr. Keene pointed out that most zones do not limit accessory uses within quarries. The public meeting regarding the Application for a Zoning By-Law Amendment for 3893 Highway 15, ended at 7:30 p.m.

The proponent has since acquired two additional abutting properties located at 167 and Wellington Street and is now proposing a Zoning By-Law Amendment to the site specific Heritage Commercial C1-30 zone in Zoning By-Law No The impetus of the requested amendment is the consolidation of the three adjoining properties and a series of building renovations and enlargements which will ultimately support 26 dwelling units and a supply of 639 square metres of commercial floor area. The application requests to amend the C1-30 zone in Zoning By-Law to include the additional properties located at 167 Wellington Street and Wellington Street, reduce the minimum requirement for residential parking, remove the requirement for equipped children s play space, reduce the amenity space requirement, increase the density and to permit an encroachment into the angular plane.

Mr. Dixon, advised that he is impressed by the ambitious nature of the project, especially the re-creation of the clock tower. He expressed several concerns with respect to structural engineering during the phases of construction, noting that there is a substantial vertical expansion. He noted that he was also concerned about possible street closures that will be required due to development. Councillor Neill asked about the roof top amenity space. He noted that with some proposals the roof top amenity area has specific hours of use, and is locked after 10 p.m. and there are additional rules regarding amplified noise. He also mentioned a current City review of downtown parking, and enquired about the status of that study. In response to the questions and comments from members of the public, Mr. Newman noted that the proposal has been reviewed by the engineer for construction. He advised that road closures due to development will be dealt with at the site plan stage.
