City Council Agenda City of Kingston Report to Council Report Number 18-355 To: Mayor and Members of Council From: Lanie Hurdle, Commissioner, Community Services Resource Staff: Paige Agnew, Director, Planning, Building & Licensing Services Date of Meeting: October 2, 2018 Subject: Supplementary Report - Heritage Permit Application – 286 Johnson Street Executive Summary: On September 4, 2018, Council made a motion to defer its decision on the Heritage Permit, File Number P18-077-2018 (Report Number HK-18-057), which included demolition of an existing addition, construction of a new addition and alterations to 286 Johnson Street. The motion requested “that the Council vote on the application be deferred until October 2nd, 2018 so that staff can get an opinion from a specialist in architectural Heritage conservation on the proposed alterations to 286 Johnson Street”. An opinion letter (Exhibit A) has been obtained from Lindsay Reid, OAA, CAHP, LEED, AP of Branch Architecture. The letter provides an assessment of each proposed alteration against the Old Sydenham Heritage Conservation District (HCD) Plan. Ms. Reid provides recommendations regarding the proposed siding for the new addition and for the design and materials of the replacement windows that differ from staff’s original recommendation. Staff support the opinion provided by Lindsay Reid and have, accordingly, amended their recommendation for the Heritage Permit, File Number P18-077-2018, to support either vertical wood siding or vertical simulated wood siding on the addition (subject to sufficient details of the vertical simulated wood siding being provided to staff) and to support wood or other preferred options as cited in the Old Sydenham HCD Plan for the sash windows on the original (heritage building) and vinyl casement windows on the rear additions. 286 Johnson Street is designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act through By-Law Number 8497 and amending By-Law Number 8892. The property is also designated under Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act through By-Law Number 2015-67; being the by-law used to implement the Old Sydenham HCD.

The design and material of the windows on the original (heritage) building and side porch shall be submitted to Heritage Planning staff to confirm that they comply with Section 5.3.2 of the Old Sydenham Heritage Conservation District Plan, being wood or other preferred option as cited in the Section; 3. Details pertaining to the design of the vinyl windows on the rear additions shall be submitted to Heritage Planning staff to ensure their compatibility with the existing architectural composition of the rear elevation; and Council Meeting 22 October 2, 2018 2 Report to Council Report Number 18-338 October 2, 2018 Page 3 of 7 4. Details pertaining to the simulated vertical wood siding shall be submitted to Heritage Planning staff to assess its equivalency in quality to the preferred options in the old Sydenham Heritage Conservation District Plan (i.e. brick masonry, wood clapboard, fibre cement board with paint finish, stucco or wood shingles) and to ensure its compatibility with the existing architectural style of the rear elevation. Council Meeting 22 October 2, 2018 3 Report to Council Report Number 18-338 October 2, 2018 Page 4 of 7 Authorizing Signatures: Lanie Hurdle, Commissioner, Community Services Gerard Hunt, Chief Administrative Officer Consultation with the following Members of the Corporate Management Team: Jim Keech, President & CEO, Utilities Kingston Not required Desirée Kennedy, Chief Financial Officer & City Treasurer Not required Denis Leger, Commissioner, Corporate & Emergency Services Not required Council Meeting 22 October 2, 2018 4 Report to Council Report Number 18-338 October 2, 2018 Page 5 of 7 Options/Discussion: Background The property recognized municipally as 286 Johnson Street is designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act through By-Law Number 8497 and amending By-Law Number 8892. The property is also designated under Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act through By-Law Number 2015-67; being the by-law used to implement the Old Sydenham HCD. On August 15, 2018, staff presented a recommendation in Report Number HK-18-057 to Heritage Kingston to approve the demolition and alterations proposed in the Heritage Permit, File Number P18-077-2018. The application proposes: 1. Demolition of the existing kitchen nook on the rear addition and reconstruction of a new kitchen nook on the existing foundation with vertical simulated wood siding, white vinyl casement windows and a black asphalt shingle roof; 2. The replacement of all windows on the rear (south) elevation with a combination of white vinyl casement and sash windows; and 3. The replacement of the existing asphalt shingle roof on the principal dwelling and rear one-storey addition with new roof shingles in like-for-like materials and colour. Heritage Kingston voted not to support Council’s approval of the application, which conflicted with staff’s recommendation. Consequently, the application went to Council on September 4, 2018 without the Committees’ approval. In response, Council voted to defer the decision on the application and a motion was passed “that the Council vote on the application be deferred until October 2nd, 2018 so that staff can get an opinion from a specialist in architectural Heritage conservation on the proposed alterations to 286 Johnson Street”. Staff received a professional opinion from Lindsay Reid of Branch Architecture on Tuesday, September 18, 2018 (Exhibit A). The letter provides an assessment of each proposed alteration against the Old Sydenham HCD Plan. With regards to the siding, she recommends that the applicant use the existing siding types (brick or vertical siding) but that if the applicant wishes to use vertical simulated wood siding that staff should be provided with detailed information sufficient to assess that it is equivalent in quality, appearance and durability to the preferred options cited in Section 5.3.3 (Cladding). With regards to the proposed window alterations, Ms. Reid provides an interpretation of the language used in Section 5.3.2. She advises that the guidance provided in Section 5.3.2 is reasonable and follows widely accepted conservation standards. However, she explains that the specific identification of vinyl as an option to “avoid” indicates that this is the least desirable replacement window type and that the use of vinyl windows on the non-heritage rear additions, while not preferred, complies with Section 5.3.2. Moreover, she recommends that the windows on the heritage (original) building and side porch should be either wood windows or other accepted alternates as identified in Section 5.3.2. Staff agree with the opinion provided and have amended the staff recommendation to address the recommendations provided in the letter. Specifically, the revised recommendation now supports two options for the siding on the new addition (i.e. vertical wood siding or vertical simulated wood siding) and have included a condition speaking to the requirement for sufficient Council Meeting 22 October 2, 2018 5 Report to Council Report Number 18-338 October 2, 2018 Page 6 of 7 details to be provided to staff in order for them to make an assessment on its equivalency in quality, appearance and durability in relation to the preferred options cited in Section 5.3.2 of the District Plan. Furthermore, the revised recommendation supports the use of wood or other preferred options as cited in Section 5.3.2 for the sash windows on the original (heritage) building and the use of vinyl casements on the rear additions. Two conditions have been included that require details be provided to staff to ensure that the windows on the original building comply with Section 5.3.2 and to ensure that the vinyl windows are compatible with the existing architectural composition of the rear elevation.

  • Metrolinx Accessibility Status Report 2016
    Acknowledgements We would like to acknowledge the efforts of former Metrolinx Accessibility Advisory Committee (AAC) members Mr. Sean Henry and Mr. Brian Moore, both of whom stepped down from the AAC in 2016. They provided valuable input into our accessibility planning efforts. We would like to welcome Mr. Gordon Ryall and Ms. Heather Willis, who both joined the Metrolinx AAC in 2015. Lastly, we would like to thank all of the Metrolinx AAC members for the important work they do as volunteers to improve the accessibility of our services. Metrolinx Accessibility Status Report: 2016 1. Introduction The 2016 Metrolinx Accessibility Status Report provides an annual update of the Metrolinx Multi-Year Accessibility Plan published in December 2012, as well as the 2015 Metrolinx Accessibility Status Report. Metrolinx, a Crown agency of the Province of Ontario under the responsibility of the Ministry of Transportation, has three operating divisions: GO Transit, PRESTO and Union Pearson Express. This Status Report, in conjunction with the December 2012 Metrolinx Multi-Year Accessibility Plan, fulfills Metrolinx’s legal obligations for 2016 under the Ontarians with Disabilities Act (ODA), to publish an annual accessibility plan; and also under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA), to publish an annual status report on its multi-year plan. The December 2012 Metrolinx Multi-Year Accessibility Plan and other accessibility planning documents can be referenced on the Metrolinx website at the following link: www.metrolinx.com/en/aboutus/accessibility/default.aspx. In accordance with the AODA, it must be updated every five years. Metrolinx, including its operating divisions, remains committed to proceeding with plans to ensure AODA compliance.

  • GO Transit Fare Increase
    Memorandum To: Metrolinx Board of Directors From: Greg Percy President, GO Transit Date: December 3, 2015 Re: Proposed GO Transit Fare Increase Executive Summary As part of the annual business plan process, an extensive review is undertaken of both operating expenses as well as other revenue opportunities to determine if a fare increase is warranted. Effective February 1, 2016, a GO Transit fare increase of approximately 5% is being recommended to meet the needs of our growing customer base and to ensure long term financial sustainability for the corporation. Staff are proposing to continue with a tiered fare increase approach, based on a four-tier system that exemplifies the fare-by-distance approach. Fares for short-distance trips would be frozen under this proposal. Base adult single fares would be increased as follows: Base Adult Single Fares Current Fare Increase Range $5.30 - $5.69 $0.00 $5.70 - $6.50 $0.40 $6.51 - $8.25 $0.50 > $8.25 $0.60 The discounts for the initial Adult PRESTO card fare would be increased from 10% to 11.15%. The discount on the initial PRESTO card fare for a student would increase from 17.25% to 18.40% while the discount on a senior fare would increase from 51.50% to 52.65%. The net result would be an approximate 5% effective rate of increase for the majority of our customers who use the PRESTO card. Additionally, PRESTO users will now pay less for short-distance trips due to the fact that the fares for these trips are not increasing while the initial discount for using PRESTO is increasing.

  • Shantz Aaron.Pdf (7.260Mb)
    Understanding Factors Associated With Commuter Rail Ridership A Demand Elasticity Study of the GO Transit Rail Network by Aaron Shantz A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Environmental Studies in Planning Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2021 © Aaron Shantz 2021 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that this thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract Mode share in major North American cities is currently dominated by private automobile use. Planners have theorized that transitioning commuter rail systems to regional rail networks is a viable method to increase ridership and stabilize mode share. This process is currently underway in Ontario, Canada, as the amount and frequency of service is being increased throughout the GO Transit rail network via the GO Expansion Program. However, previous studies have shown that transit demand does not solely respond to service quantity expansions. Variables related to the built environment, regional economy, network characteristics, and socioeconomic status of the customer base can influence transit demand to varying degrees. Further, the literature states that the travel behavior of commuter rail users is unique, as access mode, distance, socioeconomic status, and the utility derived from varying trip types can differ compared to local transit users. These findings suggest that supplementary policies might be needed to reduce automobile reliance and stimulate demand for regional transit. Many transit researchers have conducted demand elasticity studies to identify what factors are significantly associated with transit ridership.

At our recent Board of Directors meeting, updates were provided on the following projects. GO Regional Express Rail Metrolinx is working with the Government of Ontario to bring faster, more reliable service to the GO network, a 10-year program that will provide significant new travel choices across the GTHA. With 63 existing stations and 7 stations currently planned or under construction, the GO Train network is the backbone of our regional transit network. More GO rail service will mean all-day electrified service every 15-minutes or better in both directions through core areas and running four times the number of off- peak trips including evenings and weekends with a mix of all-stop and express service to meet demand and reduce travel times.

  • Media Release
    Media Release November 10, 2017 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE METROLINX IDENTIFIES WHITCHURCH-STOUFFVILLE TRANSPORTATION ISSUES IN DRAFT 2041 REGIONAL PLAN Council asks Metrolinx to not charge transit users for parking at Stouffville stations WHITCHURCH-STOUFFVILLE, ON – Metrolinx has identified several planning and transit improvement projects within Whitchurch-Stouffville in their Draft 2041 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) released in September. Whitchurch-Stouffville Council was updated on these initiatives, which include the electrification of the Stouffville GO train corridor, the expansion of the layover facility in Lincolnville and a new Lincolnville GO station on Tenth Line, at the Council meeting Tuesday. Council was also asked to not endorse a plan by the provincial Crown agency to charge riders for parking at the proposed Lincolnville GO station and the current Downtown Stouffville station. “Charging users for parking at any of the current or proposed GO stations in Whitchurch- Stouffville could add to the parking issues we already face in Town,” said Rob Flindall, Director of Public Works and Project Lead of the Town’s recent Commercial and Residential Parking Study. “We may start to face issues where GO riders seek free parking in other areas of the town, reducing the availability of parking for businesses and residents.” According to the Draft 2041 RTP, only 32% of riders travelling to Toronto on the GO train arrive at their suburban GO station via a mode of transport other than a single-occupancy vehicle. Metrolinx wants to increase this number to 62-64% by 2041. “Locally in Whitchurch-Stouffville, this policy will help reduce the number of vehicles on the roads and ease rush hour traffic congestion around the GO stations; however, it will also require the Town to increase development density and put more people within a 10-minute walk of the stations,” said Haiquig Xu, Deputy Director of Development Services.
