4. Business Arising from the Minutes: a) Agricultural Capability and Single Parcel Country Residential Subdivisions

At its April 4, 2012 meeting the Commission discussed the role of agricultural capability in the location of single parcel country residential subdivisions. Administration indicated that this is going be looked at during the review of the policy of Corman Park as a whole. The outcome of this review could direct discussion on this subject within the District.

There is nothing new to report for this meeting. b) Five Yard Sites Per Quarter Section

At the Aug. 8, 2012 meeting of the Commission, Reeve Henry informed the Commission that the R.M. Council would like the Commission to consider a policy amendment to the single parcel country residential subdivision sections. The amendments would bring the District policy in line with the proposed changes in the policy proposed to be adopted in the rest of the R.M. The key change of this policy is increasing the number of yard sites allowed on a ¼ section from two to five and on 80 acres from one to three.

Ministerial approval of bylaws 25/14 and 26/14 was received on March 20, 2015. Part of the bylaws included an exclusion area, that encompassed the District as well as the P4G Study Area boundaries, where the increase in density will not be allowed at this time. The Commission requested that this item remain Business Arising from the Minutes as part of the ongoing P4G process and discussions.

There is nothing new to report for this meeting. c) Textual Amendment – District OCP & Zoning Bylaw – Removal of Septic Utility Requirements

R.M. Council reconsidered amending the policy regarding the removal of septic utility requirements. At the Oct. 21, 2013 Council meeting a motion was passed that directed Administration to prepare a bylaw for First Reading to provide for increased flexibility and discretion to Council in requiring that a homeowner’s association be formed as a condition of approval on multi-parcel country residential development.

The proposed bylaws were on the Nov. 6, 2013 agenda however concerns were raised by the City of Saskatoon to put the requirements in the District Official Community Plan (DOCP), or better link the DOCP and District Zoning Bylaw policies together more effectively. The Commission requested that the two Administrations work together to discuss some potential options to present at a future meeting.

The Administrations have reviewed potential options with legal counsel. The City Administration initially proposed an option where the jointly-adopted DOCP, rather than the singly-adopted District Zoning Bylaw, would contain the standards for where septic utilities would be required. In the proposal the R.M. and the City would jointly decide whether wastewater system monitoring would be required for a particular development.

This option was presented to the R.M.’s Planning Committee at its Feb. 10, 2014 meeting. The R.M.’s Planning Committee directed the R.M. Administration to proceed with the bylaw amendments

DPC Meeting, April 8, 2015 Page 2

that had been drafted in Nov. 2013, other than replacing the term “homeowner’s association” with “organization”.

The City Administration considered this feedback and presented a second option that would retain the standards in the jointly-adopted DOCP, but remove the City from the decision on whether or not wastewater system monitoring would be required for a particular development. Instead, this decision would be made by the R.M. Administration, relying on the advice of appropriate provincial regulatory agencies and/or qualified professionals.

The bylaw amendments were discussed with the R.M.’s Planning Committee on Mar. 10, 2014, where the City Administration provided further information about the City’s raw water intake and its importance to the water supply system for the region.

At the Mar. 17, 2014 R.M. Council meeting, a motion was passed that Council support the City of Saskatoon’s proposed amendments to the DOCP and Zoning Bylaw subject to confirmation from the Saskatoon Health Region on the implementation of the policy.

R.M. Administration has discussed this option with the Saskatoon Health Region (SHR). The SHR supports monitoring as a general best practice, but cannot officially recommend monitoring for a specific development due to their legislated authority.

The Administrations met with Community Planning on April 29, 2014 to discuss the proposed amendments. We are currently receiving legal advice on the changes and expect to report back at an upcoming meeting with revisions.

There is nothing new to report for this meeting. d) District Interim Development Strategy

At the November 6, 2013 meeting, the R.M. Administration gave notice for an amendment the R.M. Council requested to increase maximum square footage allowed for commercial and industrial buildings as they cannot be larger than 35,000 square feet.

At the March 5, 2014 DPC meeting Bylaw 04/14 was presented to remove the 35,000 sq. foot size limitation for a number of commercial uses in the Planning District. The DPC supported First Reading, however it was not unanimous. Both Administrations and the DPC members acknowledged that more discussions need to occur between the R.M. and City of Saskatoon on removing the square footage limitations in the Planning District. It was suggested that alternatives should be explored between the two parties before a bylaw is passed that may contravene the District Official Community Plan (DOCP); it was acknowledged that the policies set in 2010 may not be appropriate for our current state of development in the region and the two Councils should reconsider the overarching policies in the DOCP to provide more opportunity in the Planning District for new forms of development.

At the March 17, 2014 R.M. Council meeting a motion was passed that Council defer the First Reading of Bylaw 04/14 to allow for additional discussions between the R.M. and City of Saskatoon.

On May 7, 2014 the Administrations met to discuss the Interim Development Strategy which this proposed amendment would be a part of. Research is underway as to how other Districts and/or regions across the country dealt with this issue as they developed Regional Plans.

DPC Meeting, June 3, 2015 Page 3

The Interim Development Strategy is expected to be presented in late fall/early winter; an in-camera update was provided at the September 3 DPC meeting.

An in-camera update was provided at the November 21, 2014 meeting. R.M. and City Administrations also took the information in-camera to their respective Planning and Executive Committees for comment. The two Administrations met in January 2015 to share information and comments received and make some changes to the draft amendments based on the discussions.

A verbal in-camera update on the Interim Development Strategy was given at the February 4, 2015 DPC meeting.

The Administrations have outlined the proposed Interim Development Strategy amendments for the DPC to support at their April 8, 2015 meeting. The amendments include both textual and mapping amendments to support new developments in the Planning District. The proposed amendments are based on the following policy approach: a) balancing the needs and interests of both municipalities to continue to attract economic growth; b) consistency with the proposed land use, phasing, and servicing identified in the Concept Plans for the Planning District; c) consideration of both municipalities’ growth plans: the City recognizes the RM’s desire for alternative growth models, particularly south, southwest, and southeast of City limits; concurrently, the City is interested in further long-term urban growth north, west, and east of City limits; and d) consideration of servicing and infrastructure impacts.

City Executive Committee endorsed the recommendation to request advertising approval of the bylaws at their April 20, 2015 meeting; it was anticipated that this recommendation would have gone to the City Council meeting on April 27, 2015. However R.M. Council considered the proposed amendments at their April 20, 2015 meeting but the proposed bylaw amendments were deferred to have additional discussions with the City of Saskatoon on the impacts of the bylaws given the proposed changes in approach to development in the Planning District.

At the May 11 R.M. Planning Committee meeting, Galen Heinrichs, Water & Sewer Engineering Manager with the City of Saskatoon attended the Planning Committee meeting to make a presentation on regional water and sewer servicing. Alan Wallace, Director of Planning, Laura Hartney, Regional Planning Manager and additional planning staff from the City of Saskatoon also attended to discuss the implications of the bylaws with the Committee.

It is likely that the Grasswood Mixed Use Node portions of the amendments will be delayed until after the Market Impact Study is completed. The R.M. would still like to pursue amendments to the Future Land Use Map for the industrial designations but had some concerns with the requirements surrounding designing for and connecting to centralized servicing. Additional discussions are taking place with the City and R.M. regarding revisions to the proposed amendments. Administrations will update the Commission as this process progresses. e) Proposed Partnership – Legislative Amendments – Servicing Fees

At the November 6, 2013 meeting, the Commission discussed the challenges and opportunities to proposed legislative amendments that would allow the R.M. and City to more effectively work together on servicing and development issues in urban future growth areas. The Commission

DPC Meeting, June 3, 2015 Page 4

encouraged the R.M. Council to join with adjacent municipalities in the region to negotiate an appropriate change to development levies (off-site levies) on new developments.

A letter (dated January 5, 2015) was received to the City of Saskatoon from Mr. Keith Comstock, Assistant Deputy Minister, Municipal Relations & Northern Engagement, Ministry of Government Relations with a request for input on potential amendments to The Planning and Development Act, 2007 (PDA). A consultation meeting related to potential PDA amendments was held by the Ministry of Government Relations on January 15, 2015 and attended by both Planning Directors from the City and R.M.

The Saskatoon North Partnership for Growth (P4G) member municipalities are proposing two amendments to the PDA and have written a letter in response to Mr. Comstock’s letter asking that they be included in the Ministry of Government Relations’ review. A letter signed by the city managers/administrators of the R.M., the Cities of Saskatoon, Warman and Martensville, and the Town of Osler will be sent to the Ministry shortly for consideration in their review process. The P4G are seeking amendments related to flexibility in collecting urban servicing agreement fees and development levies for off-site services and implementation of the Regional Plan.

Administrations along with the P4G Project Manager, Christine Gutmann, presented a verbal update on the requested amendments at the February 4, 2015 DPC meeting.

There is nothing new to report for this meeting. f) Grasswood Mixed Use Market Impact Study

As part of the proposed District Interim Development Strategy the RM and City have released a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a Market Impact Study for a proposed Grasswood Mixed Use Node.

The Market Impact Study will: a) identify the amount and type of development (commercial, residential, institutional) needed to meet projected growth while ensuring the viability of the Region’s existing markets is not compromised; b) identify a maximum square footage for commercial development in the Grasswood Mixed Use Node; c) identify a phasing strategy for development in the Grasswood Mixed-Use Node; and, d) identify requirements for future Market Impact Assessments for proposed new development in the Grasswood Mixed Use Node.

The study will consider existing development approvals in the area as well as development proposals. The development goals of the communities within the study area will also be taken into consideration.

A total of nine (9) proposals were received by the closing of the RFP on March 16, 2015. The Evaluation Team reviewed the proposals and recommended that Cushing Terrell Architecture Inc. along with their sub-consultant Preferred Choice Development Strategists be awarded the contract. R.M. Council supported the recommendation to award the contract and enter into a Consulting Services Agreement at their April 20, 2015 Council meeting. The contract documents were executed on May 15, 2015. A Kick off meeting was held with the Steering Committee on May 1, 2015 to initiate the project.

DPC Meeting, June 3, 2015 Page 5

More information on the Market Impact Study will be presented to the DPC as it comes available throughout the project.

5. Rezoning Applications(s): a) REZONING BYLAW 30/15

Owner/Applicant: Christmas Properties Ltd. Legal Land Description: Parcel M, NW 33-35-5-W3 Council Division: 2

1. Proposed Development: Rezoning

2. Commission Recommendation: “That the application of Christmas Properties Ltd. to rezone Parcel M, NW 33-35-5-W3 from D-Rural Convenience Commercial 2 District (DC2) to D-Arterial Commercial 1 District (DC1) through a contract zoning agreement be APPROVED subject to: i. Bylaw 30/15 receiving Ministerial approval; ii. the applicant entering into a contract zoning agreement addressing the area to be rezoned and the uses to be permitted within the contract zoning area; and iii. the applicant being responsible for all costs of rezoning.”

3. Summary: • The subject parcel is currently zoned D-Rural Convenience Commercial 2 District (DC2); • This parcel was zoned D-Commercial 1 District (DC1) under the previous District Zoning Bylaw however when the new District Zoning Bylaw was adopted in 2010 this parcel was rezoned to DC2; • The proposal is to rezone the application to DC1 by contract to limit the number of parcel and proposed uses. See Section 11 for additional information. • The intent of the application is to rezone to allow for a Business Centre while considering subdivision or development of the property at a later date. The subdivision or development would be required to follow the restrictions of the proposed contract zoning agreement. • The application meets the requirements of the Corman Park-Saskatoon Planning District Official Community Plan and Zoning Bylaw.

History of Property Rezoning & Applications • A rezoning application was first considered by the Commission at its May 8, 2013 meeting. The Commission supported the recommendation to approve the application of Christmas Properties Ltd. to rezone Parcel M, NW 33-35-5-W3 from DC2 to DC1 be approved. • At its May 21, 2013 meeting, R.M. Council deferred the rezoning application of Christmas Properties for further discussion. • At the June 17, 2013 meeting, R.M. Council defeated the motion to rezone Parcel M from DC2 to DC1. Council then asked that further information be brought forward to the Planning Committee regarding soil being moved onto site (illegal clean fill operation).

DPC Meeting, June 3, 2015 Page 6

• At the July 15, 2013 R.M. Council meeting, a motion was passed that the R.M. proceeds with a written order for the removal of fill brought onto Parcel M without approval and that the property be brought back to the original topography by October 1, 2013. The Order of Compliance was issued on July 18, 2013 by the R.M. to Christmas Properties. • Upon receipt of the Order, Mr. Katsiris contacted the R.M. for clarification of the issue and a meeting was held in August 2013. At that meeting possible solutions were discussed including the suggestion that if a proposal was brought forward to develop the land, under its current zoning, along with an engineering report showing the required amount of clean fill, the R.M. may be able to come to an agreement of not requiring the removal of all of the unpermitted fill that has been put on the property. • In March 2014 the developer asked that R.M. Council consider contract zoning the property to limit the uses and parcel sizes. A motion was passed that Christmas Properties submit an application under a DC2 Zoning District and that if no proposal is submitted then the R.M. would look to enforce the Order of Compliance that was issued in 2013 to deal with illegal fill of the property. • In May 2014 the developers submitted an amended plan reducing the number of lots from 6 to 4 and included an amended list of uses that would allowed. Council supported the applicant completing public consultations within a one mile radius for their proposed four lot plan, to be brought forward to Council review prior to invitation to submit a Comprehensive Development Review (CDR) for the property. • Public consultation occurred in June/July 2014. The concerns are summarized as follows: o Light pollution; o View of commercial buildings from adjacent properties; o Drainage; and o Increase in traffic causing safety issues. • In September 2014, R.M. Council passed a motion that required the parcel to remain zoned DC2 and allow the current fill to remain onsite, withdrawing the current Order of Compliance, with any future storm pond on the property to be located in the south east corner of the property. • A Statement of Claim was filed by Christmas Properties against the R.M.; the two parties entered mediation discussions and it was recommended that a revised proposal be submitted to the R.M. Planning Commission and R.M. Council for their consideration. • In March 2015, R.M. Council passed a motion to consider a revised application by Christmas Properties that would require a rezoning application to be re-submitted along with a revised CDR provided under an amended DC1 District through contract rezoning. • This report considers that amended application and contract rezoning.

4. Bylaw Compliance: Corman Park – Saskatoon Planning District Official Community Plan: Section Policy Compliance A Comprehensive Development Review has been completed 7.1 for this application and is attached as part of this report. Yes

DPC Meeting, June 3, 2015 Page 7

There is residential development to the east and south of the subject parcel and agricultural land to the north and west. Across Highway 219 to the west there is another 7.2.1 commercially zoned parcel. The subject parcel is currently Yes zoned commercial. The applicant wishes to rezone to a different commercial designation.

The CDR indicates that the subject parcel can be serviced. The servicing of this property would be the responsibility of the 7.2.3 developer at the time of subdivision or development permit Yes approval.

If the subject parcel were to be rezoned a servicing agreement would be required at such time as an application for 7.2.4 subdivision is submitted to the Ministry of Government Yes Relations and referred to Council.

Parcel M is an existing commercial area on the Future 7.3.1 Land Use Map. Yes

There is no amendment to the Future Land Use Map required for 7.3.2 this rezoning to be considered. Yes

The subject parcel is located at the intersection of the 7.3.4 recently upgraded Highway 219 and Grasswood Road. Yes

As this is an existing commercial parcel with access to 7.3.5 Grasswood Road the costs to the R.M. will be minimal. Yes

A Traffic Impact Study will be required when subdivision is proposed. This will ensure the development meets all 7.3.6 municipal and provincial regulations respecting access to and Yes from provincial highways and other municipal roads.

The subdivision of this parcel will require a minimal amount of 7.3.7 additional road construction and maintenance. Yes

The subject parcel complies with the required separation 7.3.8 distances as provided within Section 4, Table 1 of the Yes Intensive Livestock Operation policies.

The proposed development will have legal and year round, all weather physical access to a municipal maintained roadway. Internal roads will be constructed at the expense of the 8.1.2 Yes Developer. Services, including gas, power, and telephone will be provided by the Developer.

The parcel is located adjacent to an existing R.M. roadway, 8.2.1 Grasswood Road. Yes

DPC Meeting, June 3, 2015 Page 8

The proposed development was submitted to the Ministry of Highways & Infrastructure and it was indicated that an access road (approach) on Highway No. 219 would not be permitted, as it is an access controlled roadway, which requires a minimum 8.2.3 & intersection to access road spacing of 400 m. However, the Yes 8.2.4 proposed approach on Grasswood Road meets the Ministry’s standards. If deemed necessary, a Traffic Impact Study will be commissioned by the developer.

Corman Park – Saskatoon Planning District Zoning Bylaw Schedule L Policy Compliance The location of the proposed parcel meets the intent of the 1 DC1 Zoning District. Yes

The subject parcel meets all of the site development 8 standards of the DC1 Zoning District Yes

5. Interdepartmental Implications: N/A

6. Financial Implications: N/A

7. Legal Implications: A contract zoning agreement will be required to facilitate the rezoning of this property and will allow for the rezoning of the parcel while limiting the uses that would be allowed. The contract zoning agreement would be registered as an interest on the title.

8. Alternative Options: Council can choose to deny the application to rezone at its sole discretion. This decision is not capable of being appealed under the provisions of The Planning and Development Act, 2007.

9. Public Consultation Summary: The developer hosted a public open house on May 22, 2012 for the initial proposal to introduce the development concept to property owners within 1.6 km of the subject parcel.

A second letter was sent to neighbours in June 2014 to neighbouring properties to the proposed development. Concerns included light pollution, landscaping and the provision of buffers, drainage, fencing, snow clearing and traffic. A summary of developer responses to these concerns is listed below: 1. Light: The developer will use techniques and standards consistent with the current version of the International Dark Sky Association Lighting Code Handbook for outdoor lighting on the sites and in the streets. Further to this, the rezoning agreement requires site and street light fixtures be compatible with the standards of the IDA. 2. Landscaping and Buffers: Additional landscaping in the form of buffers along all four sides of the property is proposed. Development permits that come forward if the

DPC Meeting, June 3, 2015 Page 9

proposal goes ahead are subject to an additional layer of standards and regulations including landscaping standards. 3. Drainage: an engineered drainage plan that meets the RM of Corman Park’s drainage standards has been completed. If a revised drainage plan is completed, it will be prepared by a professional engineer and require approval of the R.M. and Water Security Agency. 4. Fencing: The developer plans to build a fence along the south side of the site. 5. Snow Clearing: The developer has indicated that the sale agreements will require snow clearing along the south property line to address drainage issues. 6. Traffic: If deemed necessary, the developer is prepared to undertake a Traffic Impact Assessment study in order to address safety concerns, however the location of the approach meet locational standards.

If Council approves the rezoning public notification will be sent to all land owners within 1.6 km informing them of the rezoning and required public hearing associated with the adoption of the Bylaw to amend the District Zoning Bylaw.

10. Regulatory Correspondence/Servicing Considerations: City of Saskatoon – previously had no concerns with the proposed rezoning. They understand that if a subdivision is proposed that an additional CDR would be required at that time to address items such as increased traffic, water and sewage servicing, and drainage.

Potable Water - In terms of potable water, two potential sources have been identified in the immediate surrounding area. Currently, the R.M. of Corman Park has pressurized water main running along the east boundary of the proposed development. As well, the Dundurn Rural Water Utility (DRWU) has a non-pressurized water main running along the north side of Grasswood Road and the west side of Highway #219. AECOM conducted a Water System Assessment of the existing Grasswood Water System and it was concluded that the Grasswood reservoir has ample storage to provide potable water and fire protection and could accommodate future growth in the area. The DRWU has indicated that they can service the proposed development, however, it would be up to the user to pressurize the lines and store water on-site. Additionally, an ample supply of water must be stored on-site to provide fire protection. If the option to receive water from the DRWU is pursued, the DRWU has indicated they could provide a cost estimate of the installation up to the water meter in each building.

Wastewater – It is anticipated that all sanitary sewage produced in the development will be contained on-site in a holding tank sized to contain adequate volume for the site. It is anticipated that the holding tanks will be sized in the detailed design phase of the proposed development. A licensed hauler will be contracted to transport the waste to a licensed facility.

Drainage/Water Security Agency – The runoff impacts of the proposed development at Parcel M were reviewed by AECOM. It was observed that the site drains from the northwest corner to the southeast corner. The proposed drainage system at the development would entail grading the site to provide overland drainage to a wet pond on the east portion of Parcel M. The wet pond would provide storage for a 1:100 year storm event, with a freeboard allowance of an additional 25%. It was determined that the parking lots would be comprised of gravel instead of asphalt, thereby decreasing the impermeable compacted surfacing and, as such, lowering the post-development runoff volume. It was indicated that the existing drainage pattern will be maintained, therefore eliminating the need to obtain easements to drain the site.

DPC Meeting, June 3, 2015 Page 10

This information was submitted to Water Security Agency (WSA) for review. It was determined that approval would not be required as long as water was not diverted along the west and north ditches, resulting in a downstream impact.

The site drainage plan currently situates the water retention pond centrally and adjacent to the buffer strip on the south boundary of the site. The neighbour to the south identified concerns with the pond being located near their property and the developer is willing to situate the pond adjacent to the east boundary of the site. Most drainage plans locate the retention ponds centrally to allow more gradual sloping towards the ponds (e.g. the attached drainage plan). The consultant questions the actual benefit of moving the pond from a central location to a location on the periphery, but nonetheless have included this as a condition in the draft rezoning agreement. In any case, the drainage plan will need to meet R.M. standards and be approved by the WSA prior to development.

Ministry of Highways & Infrastructure – indicated that an approach to Highway No. 219 would not be permitted, as it is an access controlled roadway, which requires a minimum intersection to access road spacing of 400 m. As such, a single approach to Grasswood Road will be constructed 90 metres set back from Highway No.219. This approach will meet the Ministry’s locational standards. If deemed necessary, a Traffic Impact Study will be commissioned by the developer at the time of subdivision or development, when the proposed land uses are understood.

Ministry of Environment – It was indicated that an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) would not be required for the project.

Heritage Conservation Branch – a screening was completed through the Heritage Conservation Branch. The screening indicated that the quarter section is not heritage sensitive, and as such, there are no further concerns with the development.

11. Other Considerations: It is anticipated that the Business Centre would feature a mixture of uses provided for in a modified DC1 District, with the intent to eliminate certain uses from the zoning district that have a higher potential to conflict with neighbouring residential development in the Grasswood area. Additionally, the modified DC1 District would limit the number of separate sites to a maximum of six (6), allow only a single approach from Grasswood Road, require a 5 m buffer strip around the perimeter of the development, require the storm pond to be located on the eastern side of the development site and require that site and street lighting fixtures be compatible with the standards of the International Dark Sky Association.

Below is a summary of the permitted and discretionary uses in the existing DC1 and DC2 Zoning Districts and what the developer is proposing for his contract zoning agreement uses:

One internal roadway is to be constructed in an east to west 5.5.3.1. Yes direction across the parcel connecting Clarence Ave South to

DPC Meeting, June 3, 2015 Page 16

Clarence Lane, which is a newly constructed roadway on the west side of the property.

The property is not deemed to be hazard lands, however it is recommended that site-specific geotechnical investigations be conducted prior to the development of each residence as 5.5.3.2. considerations should be given to the depth of the water table Yes when determining basement and foundation depth and construction methods.

The development will be required to meet municipal regulations 5.5.3.3. respecting access to and from municipal roadways. Yes

The proposed development adheres to all the setback 5.5.3.4. requirements prescribed for dwellings in this section. Yes

A copy of the Comprehensive Development Review (CDR) shall be provided to Council for reference, as well a copy shall 5.5.6. Yes be posted the R.M. website: www.rmcormanpark.ca\page\cdr

The area surrounding the proposed development is an area of existing country residential development. Potable water and shallow utility services currently exist in close proximity to the 5.5.7.3.a. Yes proposed development, and the development is adjacent to Clarence Avenue South.

The existing parcel to be subdivided is 7.67 ha (18.95 acres) which is less than the maximum allowable size for a multi- 5.5.7.4. parcel country residential development which is 64.8 ha (160 Yes acres).

A substantial recreational component is not be proposed for 5.5.7.5. this development. Yes

The proposed lot sizes range from 0.87 ha (2.15 acres) as the smallest lot to 1.36 ha (3.36 acres) for the largest lot, with an average lot size of 1.08 ha (2.67 acres). This falls within the 5.5.7.6. allowable parameters of 0.4 ha (1.0 acre) to 4 ha (10 acres) for Yes the smallest and largest lots, while maintaining an average lot size over the minimum of 1 ha (2.47 acres).

A substantial public amenity is not being proposed as part of 5.5.7.7. this development. Yes

The proposed subdivision has undergone hydrology and hydrogeological studies to help understand the capacity of the land for further development. The hydrogeological 5.5.7.8. Yes investigation recommended that a Type II mound with a restrictive layer within the mound be utilized as the type of wastewater management system on the site. This investigation

DPC Meeting, June 3, 2015 Page 17

was reviewed by the Public Health Department and they advised that Community Planning accept the report created by Clifton Associates. Further information is provided in Section 10.

The Geotechnical investigation states that due to the high water table in area it is recommended that each parcel undergo a site-specific geotechnical investigation be conducted prior to the development of each residence. The geotechnical investigation will also note building design requirements based on the conditions of each site.

All shallow utilities are within the area as the existing Grasswood country residential area is in close proximity to the proposed development. Potable water is intended to be supplied by the R.M. of Corman Park as the R.M. is the water system operator for the Clarence Avenue and Grasswood Road area.

The average lot size of the proposed development at 1.08 ha (2.67 acres) exceeds the minimum lot size development of 1.0 ha (2.47 acres).

The locations of the proposed ponds was chosen in response to the road lay out. The pond size was also determined based on the requirement to detain additional runoff generated from the development. The runoff analysis was based on a 1:100 year: 24 hour + 25% extreme rainfall event, while still maintaining a freeboard of 1 metre from the highest pond water 5.5.7.9. elevation. Yes

The road to be constructed in association with the proposed development is to connect to Clarence Lane a newly constructed roadway on an adjacent parcel to the west as a way to help with accessibility for road maintenance equipment.

The CDR includes a record of the public consultation which was undertaken in support of the application and includes three written exchanges between the consultant and the public in Appendix I, as well as a list of those who attended the open house. A summary of concerns is provided within the Executive Summer of the CDR.

The proposed subdivision is on the edge of the Grasswood country residential area and adjacent to three newly created 5.5.8.5. country residential parcels to the west. The application does Yes not include buffering between adjacent parcels.

According to the Conservation Data Centre (CDC) mapping tool provided by the Ministry of Environment (MOE), the area is located in area of potential wildlife habitat sensitivity.

The proposal was referred to MOE for their review and a response was received in April 2014 where it was indicated that the species information was rated S3. No setbacks are required as per correspondence with MOE and was determined 5.5.8.6. Yes that the proposed development would have negligible impact.

According to the Land Inventory soil class rating system the soil is identified as Class 4, or as having severe limitations that restrict the range of crops that could be planted in the area.

The proposed development is not located in any conflict (within

DPC Meeting, June 3, 2015 Page 19

one mile) of an existing ILO, landfill, waste disposal site, lagoon, industrial or commercial development, or gravel deposit.

If required the Canada Land Inventory rating may be subject to confirmation from site inspections, institute of Pedology 5.5.8.7. classifications, past productivity, municipal assessment or a Yes detailed study by a registered agrologist.

The proposed development is not located on land considered to have any heritage sensitivity, according to the Heritage 5.5.8.8. Conservation Branch at the Ministry of Parks, Culture and Yes Sport.

The proposed subdivision is 18.95 acres (7.67 ha) in area and only six residential lots will be created. The Planning department does not see a potential for significant public amenity. As such, the R.M. will request that the Municipal 5.5.9.1. Yes Reserve dedication be submitted in the form of cash-in-lieu. For this proposal, the required Municipal Reserve is 1.89 acres (0.767 ha).

The proposal is not a re-subdivision of lots within an existing multi-parcel residential development, or within an Organized 5.5.10. Yes Hamlet.

The application does not propose uses other than residential. Home Based Business proposals may be allowed, however 5.5.11. each Home Based Business shall be approved by R.M. Council Yes on an individual application basis.

One internal road will be engineered and constructed to the standards of the R.M. of Corman Park. The Director of Public Works will determine the length of the maintenance period prior to a Certificate of Completion being issued.

The Developer has contacted SaskEnergy, SaskPower, and SaskTel and has confirmation that services are in close 8.8.1. Yes proximity and will be available to service the proposed additional lots. The existing yard site on the parcel is currently serviced by these utilities.

Water in the area is provided by the R.M. of Corman Park and previous correspondence has indicated the necessary water capacity exists in the system. The proposed development will be accessed by Clarence Avenue South. One internal road will be constructed to the 8.8.2. R.M. of Corman Park standards at the expense of the Yes Developer. The R.M. is requiring that the internal roadway will connect to the newly created roadway to the west of the parcel

DPC Meeting, June 3, 2015 Page 20

and will connect to Hill Street. When connected, these two new roadways shall have a common name.

The subject property would obtain permission from the R.M. to connect to the current potable water system in the Grasswood 8.8.3.1 area. The Developer would have to enter into a servicing Yes agreement and apply to construct the necessary water works.

From the hydrogeological report it was noted that groundwater modeling indicate that over a 100 year period, plumes from the proposed mounds will impinge on the capture zones of the existing well on the north east of site, based on loading proposed. There are, however, shallow groundwater conditions on-site which impact the vadose retention times in the discharge areas. As such, it is advisable to ensure that the disposal systems are set at such an elevation that there is a minimum of 1.5m from the base of the mound to the ground water table.

Clifton Associates recommended that Type II mounds with a restrictive layer within the mound, be utilized as the type of 8.8.3.2. Yes wastewater management system on the subject site.

Additionally, a monitoring program is recommended in the existing wells noted within the Clifton report to identify potential impacts to groundwater in this area.

Comments received by the Public Health Department of the Saskatoon Health Region state that they accept the report created by Clifton Associates for the subdivision application.

Additional information may be found under Section 10 Regulatory Correspondence.

As a condition of approval, a private onsite septic utility will be established and administered to monitor the ongoing operation 8.8.3.3. Yes and maintenance of the on-site wastewater system.

The proposed development is not located on land considered to have any heritage sensitivity.

The Ministry of Environment indicated that the species information was rated S3. No setbacks are required and it was determined that the proposed development would have 10.10.1. Yes negligible impacts.

Minimal natural vegetation exists on the property and from this there was no buffer designed into the subdivision application. As well, there will be no provisions for Municipal Reserve or Environmental Reserve.

DPC Meeting, June 3, 2015 Page 21

The proposed residential subdivision is located I an area identified on the Corman Park – Sasktoon Planning District 12.12.2. Yes Future Land Use Map as “Future Residential Area”.

RM of Corman Park Zoning Bylaw: Section Policy Compliance The proposal is to develop a 7.68 ha (18.97 acre) parcel to include 6 country residential lots. The proposal is in close proximity to the Grasswood country residential subdivision. Phasing of the project is to be completed in one phase.

A summarization of the public consultation process was 2.5 Yes included in the CDR which lists the concerns that were brought forward to the consultant by individuals in the area.

Regulatory correspondence with various utilities and agencies has been included in Section 10 of the report.

From the hydrogeological report it was noted that groundwater modeling indicate that over a 100 year period, plumes from the proposed mounds will impinge on the capture zones of the existing well on the north east of site, based on loading proposed. There are, however, shallow groundwater conditions on-site which impact the vandose retention times in the discharge areas. As such, it is advisable to ensure that the disposal systems are set at such an elevation that there is a minimum of 1.5m from the base of the mound to the groundwater table.

Clifton Associates recommended that Type II mounds with a 3.11 Yes restrictive layer within the mound, be utilized as the type of wastewater management system on the subject site.

Additionally, a monitoring program is recommended in the existing wells noted within the Clifton report to identify potential impacts to groundwater in this area.

Comments received by the Public Health Department of the Saskatoon Health Region state that they accept the report created by Clifton Associates for the subdivision application. Additional information may be found under Section 9.

DPC Meeting, June 3, 2015 Page 22

The locations of the proposed ponds was chosen in response to the road lay out. The pond size was also determined based on the requirement to detain additional runoff generated from the development. The runoff analysis was based on a 1:100 3.16 Yes year: 24 hour + 25% extreme rainfall event, while still maintaining a freeboard of 1 metre from the highest pond water elevation.

The roadway proposed to service the subdivision will be connecting to Clarence Avenue South and will connect to an adjacent, the proposed roadway will not end in a cul-de-sac. The Director of Public Works will approve road construction design and safety standards. 3.21 Yes

All approaches to the proposed roadway from the individual country residential parcels shall be approved by the Director of Public Works.

Schedule G – D-Country Residential 4 District (DCR4) Section Policy Compliance Each parcel will be created to allow for a single detached country residence including an RTM dwelling which are 2.1. Yes permitted uses in the D-Country Residential 4 District (DCR4).

Existing structures on the parcel have been included in the Plan of Proposed Subdivision. The structures will meet the setback requirements of the zoning district.

8. The proposed subdivision meets the density of 1 ha (2.47 Yes acres). The smallest lot is 0.87 ha (2.15 acres) and the largest lot is 1.36 ha (3.36 acres) creating an average lot size of 1.08 ha (2.67 acres).

5. Interdepartmental Implications: The applicant is proposing to construct a roadway from Clarence Avenue South through the development and connecting to a newly constructed roadway, Clarence Lane, on an adjacent parcel to the west. The roadways will be connected as a way help improve the efficiency of the maintenance of the new roadway.

6. Financial Implications: The proposed subdivision of the property to create five (5) new country residential lots will result in the assessment of a $6,560.00 subdivision servicing fee for each new lot for a total of $32,800.00 pursuant to Council’s current policy which may be used partially or in full to help fund local municipal road improvements.

Municipal Reserve will be provided for 0.767 ha (1.89 acres) in the form of cash-in-lieu.

DPC Meeting, June 3, 2015 Page 23

7. Legal Implications: A standard servicing agreement will be required as a condition of approval for the subdivision to secure the legal and financial conditions of Council’s approval including identification of any necessary road upgrades, payment of the applicable subdivision servicing fees, implementation of geotechnical recommendations, formalizing the administrative structure for the septic utility and to define the applicant’s short and long term obligations associated with the development. Also, the Hydrogeological Report will be registered on title of the individual residential lots to be created.

A storm water and drainage easement agreement will need to be executed with the property developer to formalize and identify the maintenance requirements and development restrictions for the storm water retention ponds and other drainage works including the drainage ponds located on Lots 1,2,3,5, and 6.

8. Alternative Options: Council may defer consideration of the application pending a further review where required or it may deny the request for rezoning if desired thus eliminating the applicant’s ability to proceed with the subdivision. Denial of an application for rezoning is not appealable under the Planning & Development Act.

9. Public Consultation Summary: An initial notification was mailed out on October 1, 2012 for an open house which was held on October 17, 2012. 15 people attended the open house, which was held at the South Corman Park School. Following the initial open house, a letter was sent out on October 29, 2013 which asked for additional questions, concerns, or comments surrounding the proposed development. From this letter Crosby Hanna & Associates were contacted 5 times with concerns related to: • Concern over the close proximity of the development to neighbouring properties and the effect on acreage living; • The size of the proposed lots being too small (i.e. some individuals believe that acreage lots should be 4-5 acres or more); • The density of the proposed development does not match the current density of acreages in the area; • Potential issues with the water table in the Grasswood area (one neighbour indicated that their basement floods annually due to rain, snow melt and sewer discharge); • Concern over the contribution of this development adding to the groundwater discharge; • There was interest in purchasing the lots once the development had been subdivided; and, • Comments regarding the size of parcels decreasing in size (in a general sense), although no specific concern was listed concerning this development.

Since this mail out, the number of lots has been reduced to 6 total lots with an average lot size of 2.67 acres (1.08 ha). Additionally, studies were undertaken to help determine adequate septic systems, as well as potential building elevations and location and size of retention ponds to help with water related concerns.

10. Regulatory Correspondence:

DPC Meeting, June 3, 2015 Page 24

As part of the review process, the applicant was responsible for contacting a number of provincial departments and agencies. These conditions will be added into the required Servicing Agreement as part of the subdivision approval which is typical RM practice. The results of these consultations contained within the CDR report are summarized below:

The Ministry of Environment (MOE) – Comments from the MOE stated that there are presently no setback distances designated for the impacted species and that the development would have negligible impact. As such, the MOE has no concerns with the subdivision and development at this location.

City of Saskatoon – Response from the City of Saskatoon has noted that aligning the proposed roadway with the newly constructed roadway to the west will help facilitate safety as traffic volumes continue to grow. As well, concerns were raised in regard to the location and access to the storm water management ponds and how the long-term maintenance of the ponds may be affected. The proposal was also noted as being within area designated as “Future Residential” on the Future Land Use Map that is part of the Official Community Plan for the Corman Park – Saskatoon Planning District.

MuniCode Services – Recommendations from the hyrdological and hydrogeological report (Appendix C) note a site specific geotechnical report be completed and submitted to the R.M. in relation to building permit applications. The report is being reviewed by MuniCode Services to understand the construction limitations of the land and what considerations may need to be taken into account prior to construction commencing on a dwelling.

The Saskatoon Public Health Region – A hydrogeological study was completed (Appendix C) to determine the Onsite Wastewater Treatment System (OWTS) suitability of the proposed development lands. From this study, the following is recommended: • The Community Planning Branch discusses the need for a servicing agreement between the municipality and the developer that will incorporate the findings of the report. This servicing agreement should be registered on the individual parcels. • The RM registers the report to Information Services Corporation (ISC) for all proposed parcels. This information must be available to any purchaser through ISC. • The installation of any new plumbing and sewage systems shall be permitted, inspected and approved by the Public Health Department.

From the hydrogeological report it was noted that groundwater modeling indicate that over a 100 year period, plumes from the proposed mounds will impinge on the capture zones of the existing well on the north east of site, based on loading proposed. There are, however, shallow groundwater conditions on-site which impact the vandose retention times in the discharge areas. As such, it is advisable to ensure that the disposal systems are set at such an elevation that there is a minimum of 1.5m from the base of the mound to the groundwater table.

Clifton Associates recommended that Type II mounds with a restrictive layer within the mound, be utilized as the type of wastewater management system on the subject site. Additionally, a monitoring program is recommended in the existing wells noted within the Clifton report to identify potential impacts to groundwater in this area.

SaskWater - Potable water services in the area are provided by the R.M. of Corman Park. Prior correspondence between the applicant and the R.M. noted confirmation of extra capacity that

DPC Meeting, June 3, 2015 Page 25

exists within the current water system in the area, as well the approximate water line distance to be constructed will be 300 metres.

Heritage Conservation Branch: Parks, Culture and Sport – Correspondence with the Ministry notes that this area of the proposed development is not in a heritage sensitive area and it is not necessary to submit the project to the Heritage Conservation Branch for screening.

Prairie Spirit School Division – Response from the school division’s facilities planner stated that Grasswood area schools have sufficient enrollment capacity for the proposed development.

The Water Security Agency (WSA) – A hydrology and hydrogeology study was conducted by Clifton Associates to analyze drainage patterns and to identify potential building sites for each lot by ground elevations. The Water Security Agency agrees with the recommendations of the study completed by Clifton Associates. Sections of specific attention are: • 8.1.1 – Pond Grading and Minimum Building Elevations; • 9.1 – Waterproofing and Subdrainage; • 10.2 – Grading, Ponds, and Roadways; and, • 10.3 – Slope Stability and Excavation Considerations. The locations of the proposed ponds was chosen in response to the road lay out. The pond size was also determined based on the requirement to detain additional runoff generated from the development. The runoff analysis was based on a 1:100 year: 24 hour + 25% extreme rainfall event, while still maintaining a freeboard of 1 metre from the highest pond water elevation.

SaskTel, SaskEnergy and SaskPower – Shallow utilities currently exist on the property servicing the existing dwelling and yard site. The servicing of each lot shall be completed at the expense of the developer.

Solid Waste Disposal – Loraas Disposal was contacted and correspondence notes that waste and recycling services will be available once the acreages and roadways are finished.

Fire & Protective Services – The development location is within the boundaries of the service agreement between the City of Saskatoon Fire Department and the R.M. of Corman Park under a fee for service agreement.

Police services will be provided by the Corman Park Police Services and the Saskatoon Detachment of the R.C.M.P.

11. Other Considerations: A Public Hearing is scheduled for the July 20, 2015 Council date in relation to the proposed Bylaw.

7. Subdivision Application(s): a) SUBDIVISION 29-2014

Owner/Applicant: Echo Properties Inc., Sierra Properties Incorporated. & 101096002 Sask. Ltd. Legal Land Description: Ptn. NE 33-37-5-W3 Council Division: 6

1. Proposed Development: Subdivision

2. Recommendation: “That the application of Echo Properties Inc., Sierra Properties Incorporated, & 101096002 Sask. Ltd. to subdivide NE 33-37-05-W3 Ext 1, Surface Parcel 164175059, into three parcels for the purpose of creating separate title for two additional industrial parcels as shown on the Plan of Proposed Subdivision submitted by Webb Surveys dated June 2014 be DENIED as the RM is not willing to upgrade and maintain the additional roadway that would be required to access the proposed parcels.”

And

“That the rezoning of 4.77 ha (11.80 acres) of NE 33-37-05-W3 Ext 1, Surface Parcel 164175059, through a contract zoning agreement, to D-Light Industrial 1 District (DM1) to allow for temporary storage of goods, materials and equipment associated with any permitted use in the DM1 District, with the remainder of the parcel being zoned D- Agricultural 1 District be approved subject to: iv. Bylaw 28/15 receiving Ministerial approval; v. the applicant entering into a contract zoning agreement addressing the area to be rezoned and the uses to be permitted within the contract zoning area; and vi. the applicant being responsible for all costs of rezoning.”

3. Summary: • The parcel proposed to be subdivided is in East Cory Light Industrial Park; • The parcel was left out of the original rezoning and subdivision of East Cory as it is to be the location of the future Perimeter Highway; • Council approved a previous contract rezoning of the entire parcel in 2009; • The contract allows for temporary uses with no buildings so that the owners could have some use of the property until the Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure (MHI) begins construction on Perimeter Highway; • Temporary development has only occurred on a portion of this parcel, the remainder are borrow pits that are now filled with water; • The applicants submitted a letter indicating the purpose of the subdivision is that the three companies owning the property would like to have individual titles to deal with taxes;

DPC Meeting, June 3, 2015 Page 30

• MHI does not support the proposed subdivision due to concerns with the increase in land values related to having three smaller parcels rather than one larger parcel; • The RM does not support the subdivision because of the additional roadway that would be required to be built to provide access to the new parcels created. The proposed subdivision is not compatible with the Statements of Provincial Interest regulations; • If taxation is a concern, the RM is willing to support a new contract rezoning agreement that references the actual parcel being utilized for industrial purposes. The RM could then contract zone only the 4.77 hectares (11.80 acres) being used for the industrial use, with the remainder of the parcel being zoned D-Agricultural 1 District (DAG1). This would reduce the amount of taxes owed on the property; • In addition, the RM can break the tax assessment on the parcel down into liabilities, each of which would represent the area of the proposed parcels. This would allow the owners to determine how much each area’s share of the taxes would be. Each owner would receive a copy of the tax notice, but all owners would be responsible for any default on payment;

4. Bylaw Compliance Corman Park-Saskatoon Planning District Official Community Plan: Section Policy Compliance Proposed parcels E & S do not currently have access from a developed municipal road allowance. Township Road 380 is an undeveloped road allowance. The Director of Public Works does 3.4 No not support the upgrade and maintenance of this road as it will become obsolete once the Perimeter Highway is developed.

Corman Park-Saskatoon Planning District Zoning Bylaw: Section Policy Compliance Proposed parcels E & S do not currently have access from a developed municipal road allowance. Township Road 380 is an undeveloped road allowance. The Director of Public Works does 3.21.4 No not support the upgrade and maintenance of this road as it will become obsolete once the Perimeter Highway is developed.

5. Interdepartmental Implications: Proposed parcels E & S do not currently have access from a developed municipal road allowance. Township Road 380 is an undeveloped road allowance. The Director of Public Works does not support the upgrade and maintenance of this road as it will become obsolete once the Perimeter Highway is developed.

6. Financial Implications: If Council were to approve the subdivision of these properties a subdivision servicing fee of $10,560 per lot would be required.

DPC Meeting, June 3, 2015 Page 31

The contract rezoning of only a portion of this parcel would decrease the amount of land being taxed as industrial. This would help the applicant sort out the tax issues that are mentioned in their letter submitted with the application.

7. Legal Implications: A standard development and servicing agreement would be required as a condition of approval for the subdivision to secure the legal and financial conditions of Council’s approval including the payment of the applicable subdivision servicing fees.

A contract zoning agreement allows for the rezoning of a parcel while limiting the uses that would be permitted within the new zoning designation. It would also allow for only a portion of the parcel. The contract zoning agreement would be registered as an interest on the title.

8. Alternative Options: Council may defer consideration of the application pending a further review where required.

Council could rezone the parcel back to DAG1 which would reduce the taxes and remove the reason given by the applicants for the subdivision request. However, all of the temporary uses on the site would have to be removed as they would not meet the DAG1 requirements.

9. Public Consultation Summary: N/A

10. Regulatory Correspondence: Heritage Conservation Branch – A review of the heritage potential of the proposed development location indicates that this area is not heritage sensitive.

The Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure (MHI) – MHI reviewed the subdivision proposal and has informed the Ministry of Government Relations that they are opposed to the subdivision as it will create increased costs in the development of Perimeter Highway. MHI would not support additional development on the proposed lots and therefore would not support the proposed subdivision.

The Water Security Agency (WSA) – WSA indicated that they have concerns with the flooding on the proposed parcel. The applicants have responded that this water is due to borrow pits used when building the roadway in East Cory and that the drainage plan created for the subdivision could handle the movement of this water once MHI is ready to develop the Perimeter Highway.

The City of Saskatoon – The City of Saskatoon reviewed the proposed subdivision and do not support the proposed subdivision. The City is concerned that the proposed subdivision would hamper the ability of the MHI to develop the Perimeter Highway, which is a key piece of regional infrastructure.

Statements of Provincial Interest (SPI) – The provincial government adopted SPI regulations as allowed in the Planning & Development Act, 2007 in order to guide planning policy and decisions. Section 6.14 of these regulations addresses transportation. This section requires that planning decisions shall ensure that development is compatible with existing and planned transportation infrastructure. The creation of additional industrial parcels along the planned route of a major transportation corridor is not compatible with this section of the

DPC Meeting, June 3, 2015 Page 32

SPI. The additional lots will create additional costs to the development of the proposed perimeter highway.

b) First Nation Community Profiles

The purpose of this report is to provide information regarding the release of a new publication called the First Nation Community Profiles (Profiles) which was a partnership project between the City of Saskatoon (City) and Saskatoon Regional Economic Development Authority (SREDA) intended to promote economic opportunities for First Nations with land holdings and reserves located in the City and region.

The Profiles are two-page summaries highlighting key attributes for eleven First Nations with land holdings and reserves located in the City and region. They highlight information that identifies each First Nation’s leadership, strengths, and assets.

The information in the Profiles supports the City’s Strategic Goals of Quality of Life and Economic Diversity and Prosperity by strengthening relations with First Nations that have land holdings and reserves located in the City and region, and working collaboratively with economic development authorities. The Profiles also support the ten-year, long-term City strategy to strengthen relations with local Aboriginal organizations, and the four-year strategic City priority of developing partnerships with Aboriginal organizations that assist with enhancing economic, employment, or training opportunities.

The content in the Profiles has been prepared in partnership with SREDA and in consultation with the featured First Nations. Supplemental information was also referenced from a variety of sources including the , Agency Tribal Chiefs, Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada, and Federation of Saskatchewan Indian Nations.

About The Saulteaux First Nation is part of the larger Ojibwa or Chippewa tribe residing in the Northern United States. The word ‘Saulteaux’ is a French translation for ‘people of the rapids’, and relates to their original Ontario settlement location near a waterway. Originally, the Saulteaux First Nation settled around the Northern Great Lakes region in Ontario. The soil conditions and short growing season made it difficult to farm, so their lifestyle was focused on hunting and trading with European settlers. Due to expansion of the fur trade, a portion of the Saulteaux tribe traveled west and settled in Saskatchewan.
