PROPOSED GAS SERVICE STATION 47 & 51 QUEEN STREET SOUTH, TOTTENHAM RECOMMENDATION That Report #ENG be received; And further that the necessary by-law be enacted authorizing the Mayor and Clerk to execute the Site Plan Agreement with Ontario Inc. to construct a gas station and convenience store located at 47 & 51 Queen Street South, in the Community of Tottenham, substantially in the form of Attachment No. 3 to Report #ENG , all subject to the Town Solicitor's clearance. OBJECTIVE This report is submitted to seek Council's approval to execute a Site Plan Agreement between the Town of New Tecumseth and Ontario Inc. to construct a gas station and convenience store at 47 & 51 Queen Street South, in the Community of Tottenham. BACKGROUND On September 29, 2014, D. G. Biddle and Associates on behalf of their client, Petrogold Inc., submitted a Site Plan Application (D11-TO-027) for a proposed gas station and convenience store located at 47 & 51 Queen Street South, in the Community of Tottenham. A location plan is included as Attachment No. 1. The Engineering Department provided final comments to the Applicant on January 12, 2017 acknowledging that there were no further comments. During the preparation of the Site Plan Agreement it was discovered that the owner of the subject lands had changed since the site plan application was received. 47 Queen Street South and 51 Queen Street South were under the ownership of two separate numbered companies. In order to facilitate the site plan agreement, and following correspondence between Town Staff, the Owner's consultant, the Owner's Solicitor, and the Town Solicitor, it was determined that the two numbered companies would be amalgamated into one company, Ontario Inc; and as a result of the corporate amalgamation, title to the two (2) parcels would merge into one.

2 Report #ENG , July 10, 2017 On June 7, 2017, Staff received confirmation from the Town Solicitor that the concern regarding the ownership of the lands has been resolved and the Site Plan Agreement could proceed. COMMENTS AND CONSIDERATIONS The Owner, Ontario Inc., proposes to construct a gas station and convenience store located at 47 & 51 Queen Street South, in the Community of Tottenham. Site Description The existing site is located at the southeast corner of the intersection of Queen Street South and Dillane Street East. The properties are generally rectangular in shape and approximately 0.12 hectares in total area as illustrated on Attachment No. 1. The site is bound by residential to the north and east, and commercial to the south and west. The site plan provided in support of the proposed development is included as Attachment No. 2. Zoning The Planning Department, through a memorandum to the Engineering Department on December 19, 2016, have confirmed the lands are zoned Urban Highway Commercial- Exception ('UHC-5') Zone to Schedule 'C' of Zoning By-law No Per the Planning Department's memorandum, all outstanding planning concerns as they relate to the Town Zoning By-law have been addressed. Urban Design Guidelines On October 20, 2003, Council approved Urban Design Guidelines by Brook Mcilroy Planning + Urban Design. Objectives and guidelines from the Urban Design Guidelines were reviewed with respect to the proposed development. The Town's Urban Design Guidelines outlines the criteria Owners are to use when designing buildings with respect to building configuration, orientation, architecture, parking, and landscaping. Planning Staff have advised all urban design comments have been satisfactorily addressed. Water Servicing The proposed gas station and convenience store will be serviced from an existing 150mm diameter watermain located within the Queen Street South right-of-way. The existing water line servicing 51 Queen Street South is proposed to be removed and replace with a 50mm diameter domestic water line complete with a curb stop at the property line. The existing water service for 47 Queen Street South is proposed to be decommissioned and removed from the right-of-way. Sanitary Servicing Page 2 of 29

3 Report #ENG , July 10, 2017 The proposed gas station and convenience store will be serviced by a 200mm diameter sanitary sewer located within the Queen Street South right-of-way. The existing underground sanitary service for 51 Queen Street South is proposed to be removed and replaced by a 150mm diameter sanitary service with an inspection maintenance hole located at the property line. The existing sanitary service for 47 Queen Street South is proposed to be decommissioned and removed from the right-of-way. Stormwater Management Under the existing conditions, storm runoff generally flows overland to the north and west and into the municipal right-of-ways. A portion of the runoff also flows to adjacent lands to the east with all stormwater eventually making its way to the municipal underground storm sewer system. The proposal intends to direct the minor storm runoff underground prior to entering into the right-of-way. Major storm runoff will flow overland to the Dillane Street East and Queen Street South right-of-ways. A small portion along the east side of the site will continue to flow uncontrolled to adjacent lands but the amount of flow will be reduced from the existing condition. Directing storm flow underground rather than sheet flowing overland onto the right-of-way will have a net benefit in terms of quantity control. Quality control will be provided by a proposed Oil and Grit Separator (OGS) located on the subject property. Street and Site Illumination Plan The Applicant's consultant completed a Site Lighting Photometric Plan for the development. The lighting levels have been shown to be acceptable and do not negatively impact the surrounding land uses. Additionally, illumination of the site conforms to the Town's Illumination Guidelines. After the site has been constructed the Applicant is required to provide certification from the lighting designer confirming the lighting installed is in conformance with the accepted Site Photometric Plan. Noise Impact Assessment A Noise Assessment Report has been submitted for the proposed development. The report was provided to Aercoustics Engineering Limited for peer review. On November 20, 2015, the peer reviewer confirmed the overall approach to the noise analysis regarding the HVAC unit located in the back of the proposed convenience store building is appropriate, however, additional discussion on potential noise sources at the gas bar canopy should be provided. On May 3, 2016, following an additional site plan submission, confirmation from Aercoustics was received stating the updated report appropriately discusses the noise sources at the gas bar canopy. Road Widening and Daylight Triangle The following daylight triangle and road widenings are required in accordance with the Town's Official Plan and Engineering Standards: Page 3 of 29

4 Report #ENG , July 10, 2017 A 1.6m road widening along the Dillane Street East A 3.0m road widening along Queen Street South A 4.5m by 4.5m daylight triangle at Queen Street South and Dillane Street East. The proponent has agreed to provide the above noted conveyances, and the conveyances are set out in Schedule "D" of the agreement. Access and Parking Through minor variance applications A10/14 and A11/14 the number of required parking spaces for this development was reduced from eight (8) to six (6). The site proposes to have six (6) parking spaces, of which one (1) is proposed to be barrier free. As such, the parking requirements are satisfied for this site. Full movement site access will be provided by a 7.5m wide entrance from Queen Street South and a 7.5m wide entrance from Dillane Street East. The Traffic Study prepared for this development supports the proposed access configuration. The truck providing bulk fuel delivery is proposed to enter through the Dillane Street East driveway and exit through the Queen Street South driveway. The bulk fuel supplier has provided a letter confirming the proposed delivery schematic is consistent with the vehicles that will be used to service the site. Haul Route The Agreement designates the haul route the Owner is to follow during the course of construction activities. The haul route from the site has been identified as south on Queen Street South. Construction truck traffic is not permitted on Dillane Street East, east of the site or on Queen Street South, north of the site. In keeping with standard practice, no construction truck traffic is permitted through the urban areas of Alliston, Beeton, or Tottenham nor through a school zone within the Municipality during the start and end of the school day. The haul route cannot be amended, changed, or altered in anyway without written authorization from the Municipality. The Owner is required to abide by the approved haul route and will be subject to liquidated damages in the amount of $ for each documented breach of the haul route. Dust Control Plan A Dust Control Plan has been submitted by the Owner's consultant and outlines mitigating measures that are to be taken to minimize and address dust resulting from construction works. Arborist and Tree Preservation The Owner was not required to provide an Arborist's report as there were no trees identified as being impacted by the proposed development.
