Title: Text Amendment to the Rural (R) Zone for development of a Pipe Storage

Yard REZ1700021 650 Fowlers Road Applicant: 75579 Newfoundland and Labrador Inc.

Date Prepared: January 9, 2018 Report To: Committee of the Whole Councillor & Role: Councillor Maggie Burton, Planning and Development Lead Ward: 5 Decision/Direction Required: To consider a proposed text amendment to the St. John’s Development Regulations to add Pipe Storage Yard as a Discretionary Use to the Rural (R) Zone. An amendment to the St. John’s Municipal Plan would be required. Discussion – Background and Current Status: The City received an application to allow a Pipe Storage Yard at 650 Fowlers Road. The proposed area is currently undeveloped, vacant land, with frontage on Fowler’s Road just south of the Fowler’s Road overpass. The 40 acre (161,878 m2) property is a combination of privately owned land and Crown Land. Two existing dwellings are located to the southwest of the property, and other Commercial Industrial Zoned land is located to the north. The Teen Challenge development at 729 Fowler’s Road (the former Circle Square Ranch) is south-east of the proposed development. In September 2017, a rezoning application was made for development of a 34-lot Industrial Park, approximately 150 acres in size. Council requested the developer to complete a Land Use Assessment Report and a Traffic Study for the proposal. Modelling of the regional water supply was required to determine if sufficient water supply was available. The report is not yet finalized by the City, but modelling shows insufficient capacity within the water transmission main, from the Southlands reservoirs to the Fowler's Road reservoir, to support the original development application. Based on current conditions, serviced development within the City of St. John's, which is supplied from this water main, is not recommend. The original rezoning application was put on hold until the water report is complete. The developer has since submitted a revised proposal for the development of 40 acres with a less intensive use, supported by onsite services (well and septic). The pipe storage yard is a management and inventory control facility for the local oil and gas industry. The site deals with pipe inspection/management and pipe repair. Pipe is shipped to the yard where it is inspected to determine if there are any defects or wear. After the initial inspection, if additional inspection or repair is required, the process occurs onsite, and the pipe is then stored on outdoor racks to await shipment at the customer’s request. On average, 3 or 4 trucks could visit the site daily. This location is adjacent to the CBS Bypass Highway, providing key transportation access for the movement of pipe for the offshore oil industry.

DECISION/DIRECTION NOTE

Page 13: 3. Community Services & Events/ Lead – Councillor Jamie Korab · 2019. 1. 23. · 5 . Community Representative . 1. Devonne Ryan – December 2017 – November 2019 CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY

Decision/Direction Note Page 2 650 Fowlers Road

Due to the use of electrical and electronic equipment, two buildings are required on site; one will hold an inventory of pipe awaiting inspection and/or repair inspection (Building A – site plan), while the second will be used for inspection and thread repair (Building B – site plan). Noise levels on the site are expected to be low. To provide additional noise separation, the developer was asked to locate Building B further away from Fowlers Road than originally proposed (approximate distance of 217m), in addition, a 20m wide tree/vegetation buffer is provided along Fowlers Road. A 10m wide tree buffer is also maintained between the adjacent property (415 Fowlers Road). A security fence o surrounds the perimeter of the property.

The developer has been working with Teen Challenge to upgrade Fowlers Road. However, the developer was advised that upgrades to Fowlers Road did not guarantee approval of any rezoning or development applications or any form or reimbursement, should the rezoning application not be approved.

The proposed area for development is designated Rural under the St. John’s Municipal Plan. The Rural District is applied to lands not intended for urban development within the 10-year planning period and contemplates development on lands that have not been provided with full municipal services (water and sewer). The proposed use is for the storage of pipe, which requires a large outdoor area, while the buildings are accessory to the main use and are not overly intensive or disruptive. The proposed use fits with the intent of the Rural District as: it clearly demonstrates that a rural location is necessary to carry out the proposed use; no municipal water or sewage services are needed or can be provided; adequate open space is provided around the use for buffering; and, the use has frontage on a public road. Therefore, it is recommended that a text amendment be made to the Rural District, allowing the outdoor storage of pipe and related facilities. The property is zoned Rural (R) under the St. John’s Development Regulations. To allow the proposed development, a text amendment to add Pipe Storage Yard be added as a Discretionary Use in the Rural Zone would be required. Final lot area of the proposal is subject to Provincial Crown Lands Division approving the sale of the Crown Land following the amendment process. There are no engineering or development concerns with the proposed amendment. Stormwater detention is required. Prior to final development approval, detailed plans would need to be submitted for review and approval. Key Considerations/Implications:

1. Budget/Financial Implications: Not Applicable.

2. Partners or Other Stakeholders: Neighbouring residents and property owners.

3. Alignment with Strategic Directions/Adopted Plans:

City’s Strategic Plan 2015-18: A City for All Seasons – Support year-round tourism and industry activities.

4. Legal or Policy Implications: Not Applicable.

5. Engagement and Communications Considerations: Recommended to be advertised for a Public Meeting chaired by a member of Council. As an amendment to the Municipal Plan is required, a Commissioner’s Hearing would also be required at a later date.

6. Human Resource Implications: Not Applicable.

7. Procurement Implications: Not Applicable.

8. Information Technology Implications: Not Applicable.

9. Other Implications: Not Applicable.

Recommendation: It is recommended that Council consider a proposed text amendment to the Rural (R) Zone, adding Pipe Storage Yard as a Discretionary Use. It is also recommended that Council consider the Discretionary Use of a Pipe Storage Yard at 650 Fowlers Road. Staff recommend that the application be referred to a Public Meeting chaired by a member of Council. Following the public meeting, the application would be referred to a regular meeting of Council for consideration. At a later date, a Public Hearing chaired by an independent commissioner would be required.

Title: Airport Heights Community Centre Date Prepared: January 9, 2018 Report To: Committee of the Whole Councillor Lead/Theme: Councillor Ian Froude – Public Works & Sustainability Ward: 1 Issue: Airport Heights Community Centre Report Discussion – Background and Current Status: The Airport Heights Community Centre was put in place in 1997, largely driven by the Airport Heights Residents Committee. The structure consisted of two portable trailers and the intent at the time was that it be used on a temporary basis. In 2004 an addition was constructed and added to the building. The building was used primarily for birthday parties, children's programs, and scheduled committee meetings. The Committee entered into a lease agreement with the City for a number of years during which the City provided a yearly grant until such time the committee was no longer active. The Airport Heights neighborhood still wanted to have an afterschool and summer programs available to the community and the City operated programs up to August 2017. Once the Paul Reynold's Community Centre was opened the programs were relocated to the new centre with state of the art amenities. The Airport Heights Community Centre is currently not programmed but there is interest from both St. John's Minor Baseball and other organizations to use or lease the space. As a result, a building inspection of the Airport Heights Community Centre was completed by City Buildings. It was determined that overall, the condition of the combined structure is diminishing. The following is a breakdown of necessary repairs: There are roof issues in the trailer portion of the structure (B, below). The north end (A), which has a gable roof, was constructed after the trailers were put in place and is in much better condition than the roof over the remaining portion. Note that the portion of the building under the gable roof (A) contains the kitchen, with restroom facilities residing in area B.

DECISION NOTE

In addition, the main door and a portion of the exterior cladding requires replacement.

Lastly, work is required on both the floor structure and foundation of the building. The building currently does not have a proper foundation and is basically a skirted crawl space, with the floor structure supported as indicated in photos below. In 2004/2005 City Buildings, with guidance from a structural engineer, reinforced the floor supports and joists. Like the rest of the trailer, this is starting to fail once again. Settling has taken place, which is predominant along the section under the restrooms in the trailer portion of the building (B).

Page 40: 3. Community Services & Events/ Lead – Councillor Jamie Korab · 2019. 1. 23. · 5 . Community Representative . 1. Devonne Ryan – December 2017 – November 2019 CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY

A straight edge was used to illustrate the difference between the two floor planes in the photo below. There is close to a ¾” gap between the planes, which is a fair indication of how much settling has taken place.

Key Considerations/Implications:

1. Budget/Financial Implications

Given the present condition of the facility, and in keeping with current National Building Codes and OHS policies and procedures, it is advised that this building is beyond repair and should be considered for removal / demolition in the near future.

Title: Youth Representation - Council

Date Prepared: January 10, 2018

Report To: Committee of the Whole

Council Lead/Theme: Mayor Danny Breen – Governance & Strategic Priorities

Ward: N/A

Decision/Direction Required: Seeking direction from Council on whether they wish to appoint a youth representative to attend Council meetings as permitted under the City of St. John’s Act

Discussion – Background and Current Status:

In 2014, the Province added section 5.01 to the City of St. John’s Act, as follows:

Youth representative  

   5.01    (1) The council may appoint one or more persons with the title "youth representative" to sit with the council and participate in its deliberations for a term and on conditions that the council may decide.  

           (2)  A person appointed as a youth representative shall be less than 18 years of age at the time of appointment.  

     (3) A person appointed as a youth representative is not a member of council and 

shall not be counted for the purpose of determining a quorum or deciding a vote of the council. 

While the amendment to the legislation provides authority for the City to appoint a youth representation to sit with Council, there is no obligation to do so.

The City has a Municipal Advisory Committee on Youth (MACY) which includes public representation from ages 12 to 23. This committee provides multiple youth with the opportunity to provide information and advice to Council on policies, programs and services that affect them.

Statement of Significance

23 King’s Bridge Road Description of Historic Place 23 King’s Bridge Road, Everton House, is a two and a half storey wooden dwelling located along the historic area of King’s Bridge Road in St. John’s, NL. The house was built between 1891 and 1892 and is an example of a Queen Anne Revival design. The designation is confined to the footprint of the building. Heritage Value 23 King’s Bridge Road has been designated because of its historical and aesthetic values. The property was purchased from the Imperial Government by John Bemister in 1891. Bemister had entered politics in 1855, and was appointed to the Cabinet as Receiver General in 1861, and Colonial Secretary in 1865. He retired from politics in 1870 and was appointed a Sheriff of the Northern District until 1891. Following his death in 1892, his daughter Hannah and her husband the Honourable Henry J.B. Woods inherited the house. Woods was a partner in the importing company John Woods & Sons, and later was elected to represent the district of Bay de Verde. He also held the positions of Hon. Secretary to the Board of Governors of the Methodist College and superintendent of the Sunday school at Cochrane Street Church. Hon. Henry J.B. and Hannah Woods are the grandparents of Harry Mews, long-time mayor of the City of St. John’s from 1949 to 1965. Aesthetically, 23 King’s Bridge Road is a great example of a Queen Anne Revival style home in St. John’s. Features of this style include: an asymmetric façade; a multi-gable roof with front facing gable; use of texture which includes narrow clapboard and a decorative gable; double bay windows, wooden single-hung windows and eave brackets.
