City Soli ci tor, S. Drury Acting City Administrator, N. C. Cohoon

On motion of Ald. Day and Ibsen, Council approved the

minutes of meetings held on Feb. 17th, 25th, 27th, March 2nd,

Bth,llth 15th and 22nd.

Before proceeding further with the agenda, the Mayor

informed Council that she has received a letter from the Minister

of Municipal Affairs, announcing that Dartmouth will receive cost­

sha-ring for municipal Services on the basis of 47.73%., the same

percentage as last year.

KECONsrDERATION: i1.t the March 16th meeting', notice of reconsideration was N.r.p. i;REAS

FCR'RST HrLLS SCHOOL SITE

•

given in connection with Council's B"cceptance of South Woodside

and Tufts Cove as N.r.P. areas. i.ld. Walker, who gave the notice

of reconsideration, felt that a staff recommendation should have

be~n given on these two areas before any decision was taken by

Council, and he moved that Council's action in accepting South

Woodside and Tufts Cove be reconsidered at this time. The motion

to reconsider, seconded by hld. Smith, carried. The matter was

then ref~rred to the P.D.O. Committee for recommendation, on

motion of AId. Walker and Cote U~ld. Hart, Ritchie and Fredericks

votin.; against).

Uso at the March 16th meeting, Council deferred a decision

on the purchase of a school site in the Forest Hills area and

has subsequently not prOVided funds for this school ilt the 1976

Capital Budget. This item was again before Council and it was

moved by jJ.d. Frederi cks and Day that it be referred to the P.D.O.

Committp.e. i.ld. Greenough, Granfield and Walker were opposed to

refp.rral and the opinions expressed nuring thp. debate generally

tflnded toward t.he responsibility of the Province for this school

and costs associated with ~t. i.ld. Kavanaugh sug'gested, howf'lver,

that provision to acquire t'lie 5itp. should have been includp.d in

the Capi"t:al BudgRt and 1:1e explained why 'lie felt that t'lie City

would have a better chancp. of securing financial assistance from

t'lie Province for amalgamation purposes rather than attempting to

have the school paid for by the Province. The Mayor concurred

with i.ld. Kavanaugh's point. of view, but JJ.d. Cote maintained

throughout the debate that we should be seeking total partiCiP­

ation from the Provincp. in the school costs. The idea of having

an input from t.he Housing Commission and from the Dept. of ~duc­

ation, so that questions can be answered at the Committee meeting,

was suggested by f ... ld. Fredericks. When the motion to rp.fer was

put, it carriF!d with i.ld. Smith, Walker, Granfield and Ibsen

voting against.

i.ld. Kavammgh made the suggestion that only' the Mayor and

one or. two of the iJ.dermen should be attending the conference

this year in view of the travelling costs involved. He asked

and rA~eived pArmission to add this item to thA end of the

agenda for a dAcision by CounCil.

iJ.d. Kavanaugh and FredAricks moved that Council receive

and file a rAsolution from the town of North Sydney on the

subject of the opening of the 1976 Olympic Games by the Queen.

It ~hA MDyor suggestnd thDt Council might wish to rAfer the

matter to the Port Commission for further information on the

status of thA Darling Heport and action \,rhich may have bAP,n

taken 'as a result of its recommlmdations. JJ.d. Kavanaugh felt

that tho SCOPA of this issue is outSide the concern of Cl local

muniCipal council and he was in favour of making an approa ch to

the subject through the C.F.M.M.

iJ.d. GrAenough £llso considl'!rpd the subje ct of the rflsolution

to be beyond the SCOPA of CounCil and he moved that it be rp'ferred

to the Federal Ministry of ~ransport for a progress report on

shipPing and coastnl trade. I.ld. GranfiAld and COtA said they

would rather seek information through A local authority such as

the Port Commission, While i.ld. Ibsen favoured the idea of

obtaining information from MOT bAfore approa cl-ling the Commission.

Thfl motion to refer was opposed by i,ld. FredC'lricks, baSAd on the

intflnt of his resolution, copins of which would havfl bC'len forwarded

to the Dflpt. of ~radfl & Industry, DR~E, etc. An amendment to

thA motion to refnr, t.o encompa ss refArral to thfl Port Commission

as well, was moved by hld. Greenough nnd Ibsr-m; the amnndment

carriAd. ~~An the amAnded motion was put, it was ,defeated.

CounCil thnn proceeded to adopt a new motion to refAr to the

Port Commission only for updated information on shiPping and

coastal trade in the context of tho Darling Report. This motion

to refer carried with hld. ltitchiA, Grennough, FredAricks, Walker

and Ibsen voting against.

- ~rAa, known as the Flawn propArty, is on thA open markp.t for

acquiring this land, it is recommended that Council concur with

the opinion expressAd that the City is not interest8d in the

acquisition of thA property at this timn. Council adoptAd the

recommflndation as prAsnntAd on motion of hld. Fr8dericks and Cote.

Mr. Moir has prepared a report on the subjp.ct of watflr

owners with this problflm that it is not our intention to deliver

appropriatA action now to deal with their own Situations by:

(a) p.xtending thp, depth of nxisting wells and/or (b) providing

sUitablp. containers to retqin water. The report concludes by

noting that thAre are pnople involvpd in the bUSiness of delivering

water and property owners could contact these individuals now to

makp. any necnssary arrangements for water delivery when necessary.

In rASpOnSp. to commp.nts from i .. ld. Cote, who rnfnrred to item 14

on thA Continuing il.g(.mda in this conne ction, Mr. Cohoon explained

thfl thinking behind thp. staff recommendation, basfld on the opinion

Dear Mr. Moir:

RE: WOODSIDE STORMSE\I1ER - CONTRACT NO. 75126

A total of fourteen (14) contractors submitted tenders for the above contract ranging from $211,760.00 to $420,405.00. Of these, the four lowest have been checked and evaluated •

T·he Contractors had a choice of· pipe material to bid on, concrete or corrugated steel, and the figures tendered ·for both materials are given below.

The low tenderer's bid was based on the use of corrugated steel pipe, however, it should be noted that he is also low bid using concrete pipe.

L.J. Casavechia is a local contractor who has previously satisfac­torily completed work for the city under our ~upervision. We there­fore, recommend the contract be awarded to the low tenderer, L.J. Casavechia, using corrugated steel pipe. We wish to point out, how­ever, that L.J. Casavechia .is also low bid on the concrete pipe and the city could exercise the option of using concrete pipe for an increase in the tender price of $10,012.50 .

... /2 An easement over property owned by I.E.L. is required to allow con­struction of a section of the pipeline. This is still under nego­tiation with I.E.L. and must be resolved before the contractor can enter the property to complete the construction. The current problem is providing Mobile Oil Co., who lease the land from I.E.L. w,th the protection they require. This may require the city to obtain insurance to provide the protection requested, the cost of which would have to be'added to the low tender.

Verbal approval from the C.N.R. for use of the corrugated steel pipe under their tracks has been obtained, however, written con­firmation is outstanding. written confirmation for the use of concrete pipe has been received.

If you have any questions about the tenders, please do not hesitate to give us a call.

present land uses which surround the site. Reference was made

to the three criteria proposp.d for detp.rmining a~propriate land

use in this instance, namely, that the development must be

economically, socially and environmentally Viable. Questions

and comments from thp. mp.mbers of Council pertained in more

specifiC terms to these criteria'and the precedence which thp.y

felt that social and environmp.ntal considerations should have

ovp.r economiC viability. lld. Cote stated that use and develop­

ment. of the land should take place in terms of the needs of the

City rather than on the basis of thp. criteria suggested. He

expressed concP.rn that some sort of d8velopment pla~ may already

have taken shape and suggested that public participatio~ Will,

mean nothing if emphasiS is placFld on economiC considerations

over the quality-of-life aspect.

Other l~dermen heard during the meeting Were similarly

concernFld that importance could be given to finanCial -implications

over the wishes of residents, who indicated strong support for

retention of the land as a park and open space area for recreational . -

purposes. With the exception of one speaker, who suggested that

consideration be given to the possibility of including some low­

rental housing units with playgruunds for children, most of the

other citizens heard were in favour' of a strictly recreational

land uSe plan. Mrs. Bileen Oxner and Mr! Jack Osmond expressed

opinions that wer~ typical of this point of view; they felt that

the site should be retained as park land, providing an asset not

only for locar-residents in the north end, but for the City

generally.

AId. Hart and some of the other speakers questioned the

value of the land and the cost per acre which would be put on

it by the Federal Government. An estimated figure of $600,000.

was suggested for the 113-acre portion owned by the Dept. of Public

Works, and both AId. Sanford and the Mayor felt that what was

originally a landholding of. the City should be returned by

Federal departments for a fair asking price. lw.d. Sanford was.

opposed to any land speculation profit which the government

might be attempting to rea:ize through the sale of. the Albro Lake

lands and other questions from the floor along this line pertained . .

to the stated objective that income from the development portion

would balance the cost of the recreational land.

The matt~r of the D.N.D. land holding involved, plus the

eleven-acre parcel of land owned by the MacCulloch interests, was

questioned also. Mr. Bayer pointed out that for purposes of the

study the total site is being conSidered rather than limiting the

scope of the plan to the Public Works Dept. lands only. Mr. John

More asked if any committment has been received on the D.N.D. site

and Mr. K?scec indicated that While they have been approached,

there is no firm committment from them YAt on the diSPosition

of the 47 acreS they own, which takes in the residential section

known as Cannon Crescent. One resident referred to traffiC problems

which already p.Xist on JUbro Lake H.oad and suggested that provision

should be considered in advance to take care of any additional

traffic created by developme'rtt of the iJ.bro Lake site. Mr. Bayer

noted,that part of the planning process for the site will attempt

_ to determine ~ransportati,on requirements and street patterns to

meet these needs. 'Mr. 'L:lngwood advised that preliminary land

use concepts for the site will be presented at the second public

meeting which is expected tit be hflld in about .Six wfleks tiIDfl.~

Residents Wflre asked to complete 'and rflturn the questionnaire

distributed at this mp.eting so that rflsults can be assessed'as

part bf the study process.

After closing remarks by the Mayor on the importance of

these lands to the City of Dartmouth, fltC., the mfleting adjourned.

DEBENTURE ISSUE

• 782 POOTLAND ST.

•

It

Dartmouth, N. S. May 4/76.

In camera portion of the regularly called City Council

meeting held this date at 7:30 p.m.

Council met as Committee-of'-the-Whole in camera to

deal with several additional items of business.

The Acting City Administrator explained for the inform­

ation of the Committee a situation which has arisen as a.

result of a delay in going to tender for the sale of City

debentures, this delay having been caused by the Dept. of

Municipal Affairs and failure on their part to forward the

necessary resolution authorizing the debenture issue. In

view of the fact that fourteen other municipalities are in

the same position and could therefore all end up going to

the bond market at the same time, Mr. Cohoon has recommended

acceptance of the bid received f'rom Walwyn, Stodgell & Gairdner

Ltd. Syndicate for: . £ ' Bank of Nova Scotia Maison Placements Canada Inc. Scotia Bond Co. Ltd. Midland-Osler Securities Ltd. John Graham & Co. Ltd. Toronto Dominion Bank

This bid is in the amount of' $98.50 per $100 debenture

for $3,600,000. City of Dartmouth Serial Debentures, and the

cost of' money based on the bid is 10.84%. Acceptance would

be subject to the approval of the Dept. of' Municipal Affairs

and the Co~ittee approved Mr. Cohoon's recommendation on

motion'of Ald. Cote and Granfield.

Mr. Cohoon has reported on negotiations for a parcel

of' land which forms part of' the property known as 782 Portland

Street, required for the widening of Portland. Street. The

settlement reached with the owners, Ellis and Gwendolyn Stevens,

involves replacement by the City of their water supply (presently

located on'the lands to be acquired) and agreement,on the part

of' the City to repair damages to the property as a result of'

.street construction; the negotiated prtce for Parcel 13 is

$14,000., approx. $1.50 per square foot. Purchase of this

land is recommended subject .to the conditions stated and the

WILLAN COURT DRVELOPMENT

Committee approved Mr. Cohoon's recommendation on motion of

Ald. Fredericks and Day.

Mr. L'Esperance brought to the attention of the

Committee, a problem involving a subdivision'approval

requested to permit development of the Purc.ell property

by Willan Construction Ltd. All of the necessary sub­

division requirements have no\'! been met by this developer

and tentative approval is therefore in order, .but a report

from the Lakes Advisory Board is before Council at this time,

recommending against approval of the development project on

the basis of its destruction of swamp land, which, in the

opinion of the Board is important to the protection of the

Oathill/Banook Lake system. Mr. L'Esperance sought direction

from the Committee as to ~ow this Situation should be resolved,

taking into account the legal position in which the City will

be placed if permission to subdivide is refused when the

developer has complied with the necessary regulations,

including those of the Engineering Dept. Mr. Purdy was

present with the plans for a drainage system to serve the

development and he responded to questions on the adequacy

of provisions for drainage, particularly in re~ation to

properties which could be affected in the Gaston. Road areao

He pOinted out that the approval of various ProvinCial agencies

has yet to be given, such as the Dept. of the EnVironment,

Public Health, etc., and on the basis that final approval of

the subdivision plan cannot be given without first having

the engineering drawings approved by these Provincial depart­

ments, Ald. Fredericks and Sanford moved tentative approval,

subjec~ to the restrictions on the engineering drawings.

Ald. Smith and Granfield expressed concern for the

protection of Gaston Road properties which could have flooding

problems resulting from the Willan Court development, and Ald.

Brennan asked if it would not be possible to require the

developer to post a bond for protection purposes. Mr. Drury

explained why this would not be possible. Ald. Walker asked

if there are likely to be drainage problems associated With

~\.

In camera: City Council, May 4/76. Page ) •

t~e development and Mr. Purdy said there is no guarantee

that there will not be any; problems with the system could

occur in certain circumstances which cannot be forseen at

present.

During the debate, reference was made to the foundations

already in place before the development was halted by an

injunction. Ald. Greenough suggested that any damage to

the ,area has already been done when the foundations were

put in and the situation will only be made worse if the City

were to order that they be removed at this point. The

recommendation from the Lakes Advisory Board was also

,discussed, but it was recognized by the members t~at the I

GRANT TO DART. COMMUNITY CONTACT

developer is now legally entitled to receive tentative

subdivision approval. The motion was put and carriedo

The Mayor reported to the Committee on a matter involving

the $)0,500. City grant approved for Dartmouth Community

Contact and problems which have now arisen with the subsequent

, withdrawal of some services formerly provided to citizens by

this organization. S~e suggested that Dartmouth Community

Contact is not fulfilling its responsibility to the City

and she commented on various aspects of their pperation,

particularly as they relate to the functions and staff of

the City SOCial Services Dept. After the Committee had

heard the Mayor's report on the overall Situation, Ald.

Sanford and Day moved that no monies be given to Dartmouth

Community Contact and that Mr. McNeil's department carry out

an investigation for written report back to Councilo Ald.

Greenough asked that the report be prepared as quickly as

Possible, and Ald. Walker asked if a representative from the

organization will be present to give their Views on the issue

when the report is consid~red. The Mayor said she felt that

Council should get the report first.

Ald. Granfield was of the opinion that Dartmouth Community

Contact have been doing their job satisfactorily, While Ald.

Hart asked how services can be provided by them when they have

no funds with which to operate ... She questioned whether a,

committee was ever formed to seek additional Provincial

,cost-sharing for the organization, as directed when the

grants were determined, and she objected to references made

by the Mayor to the questionable manner of administration

of Dartmouth Community Contact. When the motion was put,

it carried with Ald. Hart voting against.

On motion of lld. Day and Ibsen, the Committee adjourned

to reConvene in open Council.

Dear Madam and Gentlemen:

Re: Rezoning request - Nova Scotia Housing Commission - Forest Hills

A proposal to rezone what is known as Phases 5 and 6 of the Forest Hills development was presented to City Council at· a Public Meeting on October 7, 1975. At that·time two citizens groups presented briefs on the project to Council. Council instructed city staff to meet with housing commission. staff to consider the various points raised by the residents. (See attached council minutes along with original staff report)

We reviewed the revised plan and are satisfied that the plan does, within reason, satisfy both the wishes of the residents and the Planning Department staff. <Copies of both the original plan and the revised plan will be available at the council meeting)

In conclusion, we recommend approval as requested.

agrees with the concept of the plan and '\-,ould recommend in

Dear Hadam and Gentlemen:

Re: Application to Rezone - Forest Hills

Attached please find a request for rezoning of phases 5 and, 6

of the Nova Scotia Housing Commission's proposed "Forest Hills Development:!. These phases are bounded on the north by No. 7 HighNay and Houn:t Edward Road, on the east by HildHood Boulevard, on the south

by undeveloped lands.and on the Nest by the Greenough Subdivision and the Hount Edward Park Subdivision. (See attached key map.)

The lands are pr~sently zoned n-l-A(Single Family Residential Zone). The Nova Scotia ITousin?' Commission proposes the fOllowing·

Single Family Units 530 Semi-Detached Units 176 Hultiple Units 126

Total 832 The two multiple family sites 'arc intended to be USp.rl for row housing or walk-up apartments ~-1i th a naximU/11 dens i tv of 2 0 units per acre.

The overall gross population on the 120-acre site is projected to be 2,1300, persons at a gross 'density of 23.3 persons per acre.

In addition to the residential components, the Nova Scotia Housinf, Commission has reserved a 6-acrc site for an ele~entary school, a small (10,000 square foot) site for a local retail or service use and Hi. 3 ~cres for public parks, playgrounds, v7alkways and bike~lays.

City staff has worked Hith the nova Scotia Housing Conmission staff since January, ,of this year revie~'1in~ and discussinr; various methods of

developing this land. This latest proposal incorporates ide!ls ~-7hich are acceptable to both jurisdictions. The proposed land'use meets

small clusters while the Nova Scotia Housing COTllI'lission prefers to

spread them throughout the site. Pc are not opposed to allmolin~ this

type of approach to be tested.

Hith regard to the subdivision layout, l'le have advised the commis­

.sion that the road neblOrk is satisfactory fo~ thp proposed land use,

.and, if the rezoning is passed, the finalization of suhdivision details

will be handled through city staff in the normal manner.

Our. review of the proposal did highlight other problems,however,

which are as folloHs:

1. SCHOOLS - The Superintendent of Schools, in a report to the Director

of Planning, has made the follotdng remark:

:; I Hould therefore urge upon you and upon council in the strongest terms tl~at no development be permitted in these areas until He can be certain

. that adequate school facilities will be available.': (See the attached report.)

2. .CITY BOmmARY -The existing houndary disects the 1?roposed develop­

ment, one-third of which lies Hithin the county. This split

jurisdiction affects individual lots, ownership and.maintainance

of services, provision of services such as Police, Fires Schools

etc. Again, as a result of meetin~s at the staff level, it is

our recommendation that the bounr1ary be adjusted to in~lude all

of phases 5 and 6 as. per the. attac[,ecl. map.. I attach, also a letter

from the N.ova Scotia JIousinr: Commission to the City Administrator

requestin~ this boundary change.

S ~ STREET ALIGNHENT MID CLOSU~F - Hild'olood Drive Hill be straightened

out and eventually directed to Ridge Crest Drive. This will

require that the existing portion from No. 7 Hight"ay to ,Haunt

purposes.

In conclusion, t-1e fort'lard a favorable' recommendation vdth respect

·to the proposed land use and suhdivision layout.

The questions raised by the Superintendent of Schools, hm-lever,

'are serious and must be ansHered.

He would ask that council instruct the City Solicitor

PROPOSED BOUNDARY CHANGE FOREST. HILLS DEVELOPNENT

Discussions have taken place betli!'len the Nova Scotia Hqusing Commission and personnel of your Pl?nning Division re­lating to a proposed boundary change in our Forest Hills Development. As is indicated on }lap #2 IIForest Hills Nmi Community" the present bounda'ry line between the' City of Dartmouth and the Hunicipa1ity of the County of Halifax as it exists be­tween Settle Lake and Cranberry Lake traverses two subdivisions. The obvious affect of the present boundary, location liou1d split jurisdiction in respect to the individual lots· affected, 'provision of services ownership and maintenance responsibility.

The second map I have enclosed provides for the relocation of this boundary line lihich l-till resolve the difficulties I have cited. This proposed re-location has been discussed with your Planning Department and seems to be favourably sited. As you are aware, the Nova Scotia Housing Commission cannot initiate the action in respect to this boundary change. 'The Housing Commission must re1y'on the initiative of the City of Dartmouth in implementing this change which we understand can be effectively achieved by agrce­Jllent between the City of Dartmouth and the Nunicipality of Halifax County and processed through the Board .of Commissioners $If Public Utilities.

I trust that the City of Dartmouth will favourably con­sider this action and I express the Commission I s ld1lingness to meet ldth your staff to discuss this matter further should it be necessary to do 50.

Re: Rezonin8 - Parcel C ~ Manor Pa~k

Attached please find a application received from Humford International Invest~ents Limited to rezone Parcel C of the Manor Park De~elopment (shown on the attached map) from R-I-A (single family residential zone) to R-4 (nultiple family residential zone). The property comprises 1.88 acres c .. !!CJ." is'" sftuated at the southern mos t point of the Manor Park Development adj acent Portland Street.

The Developer has submitted a plan outlining a pr~posal to build five seperate buildings, comprisihg a total of 22, 2 storey, side by side units. Driveway access to the units has been consolidated in order to utilize proposed private driveways which do not exit directly on to Portland Street. The building are so orientated to take advantage of ·the natural slope and to be cornpatiable with existing and proposed developments. .

In conclusion, . t is this Department's opinion that this proposal satisfies planning criteria and therefore, \Ole recommend that the re-zonir.g request re granted sUbject to the Developer entering ::Lntb an agreement and subsequent bond Hith the City to guarantee the project \o1ill be construc­ted and presented.

In Augus~, 1975, Cit!J Counc:il authorized a ~ontinuanc:e of the water deliver!J s!Jstem for the balanc:e of the year 1975 onl!J. r'lhile City sta_{f were not asked specific:ally to study and rec:ommend on this matter, it has been discussed at a staff meeting and, no doubt, in the year 1976 (perh~ps tQ a lesser degree) this problem will present itself again.

r'le would, therefore, like to rec:ommend that Cit!1 Counc:il make it known to the property owners who have this problem that it is not our intention to deliver water during the year 1976 and that the propert!1 owners should take approp-riate ac:tion now to resolve their problems. This c:an be ac:c:omplished by:

(1) extending the depth of existing wells;

(2) provision of suitable containers to retain the wamr;

(3) _Th~re are individuals involved in the business of delivering water. The property owners c:ould aontac:t these privaf~ entrepreneurs now, and make necessary arrangements for deliver!J of water when nec:essary.

SUBJECT:' Motion - Alderman Ritchie - Re: Special Care Home in Dartmou,th

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dartmouth City Council at their April 6, 1976 meeting discussed Alderman Ritchie's motion relative to the establishment of a special care home in Dartmouth this year.

Dartmouth City Council ieferred this matter to the Finance and Social Sorvices Committee for discussion, at which tim~ a report from'the Special Committee would be available. I

Commi ttec' of Council. formed to study tlleFcasibili ty of Establishing a Home for Special Carc' in the City of Dartmouth

Donald Bayer - DiJ;eS:,I~or of Planning and Development Paul Greene - AE"':'·'~":-."jnt Director' of Social Scrvices,

, Allan Peters - Ci. L~':-~;:ornptroller

-----------------------------~~'--------------------------~---------

There are, of course, many options available to the C{ty in the selection of a Home for Special Care situated in Dartrnouth. We did not consider the merits of calling for proposals from private developers, but rather only

'considered the establishment of a Home by the City of Dartmout.h.

Ne ,."ould make the point that. ,",1;her options arc avai lable and the f.o110\,11ng proposal only deals with a ) ;-:,,1;' 'that "lOuld be develop~c2 by I owned by I and operated by the City. ". ' '

Wc first considered the need for such a Home and t.he following is Cl summary of the need as seen by our Socia:i: Services Department.

11. Home for Special Care situated in Dartmouth is an immediate need for the tol1owing reasons:

1. There are approximately 150 Dnrtmouth residents who are presently in Nursing lIomes in other Municipalities. Appriximately 120 of these r'esidents ,."ould he candidates for the type of facility we are proposing, and \'1(;' limld estimnte about 00 'of these pLltients \'lOuld retuJ:n to DartmOl·th. In addition \'lG ,wu1d anti.cipate that other private paying patients and other Hunicipa1ities \vonld take 50-60 beds. . , "

2. Dilrt.mouth is presCl.U:r dependent on other Nursing I-Iomes to take our people if there arQ vacancies after their O\'m needs Clre met and/or other Municipal~ties do not get the available beds.

3. Dartmouth has no control over the per diem rates charged by other fncilities \~hether Private or Municipal. If they charge, for example ,$5.00 per day more than the Province will share in, ,,'e have no option but to pay 100% of the ~dditiollal cost.

4. OccnsionaJ.ly Dartm(',~'tl: residents in one of our local hospitals are given release dutes but are unable to be moved beca\\Sc there is no nursing fadli ty avai lable that is equipped to provide heavy nursing care. This me~~s the Hunicipa1ity is rC3ponsible for the overstay charges. M:) '·.esent, the V.G. Hospital charges $130.50 per day and thc In~ ,i.l,i .. -:.,y in the areil of $90.00 per day •

.: .

I wou+d also like to point out that t~l:"e have bec·m many assumptions. used in the preparation of the Schedule of Capital. Costs and projections of the operating revenues and expenditures. Nany factors ,'/ould influence both the capitCll costlJ and the operating costs, However, the above should serve as a bCll3is for the initial discussions.

In addition., there are some minor considerations that should be considered; for instance whether or not the 150 her}s ,.,.illbe filled initially. In pll probability , ... e'will probably fill 80 or'90% of them and have some vacant beds for some period of time, although probably not all that long a p(~riod of time.

Imothei: consideration is the lack of taxation revenue to be enjoyed by the City if the home is developed by a private developer as opposed to the proposal above which assumes the developer being t.he City.

In either. event, ,of course, the development of such a Home Hill provide a much needed facility to ,the residents of Dartmouth and also ,.,.ill be s.ome b0c;>st to the economy of the City.

Attached also please find letters from the Minister of Soc1<11 Services, dated October 9, 1975 and December 3, 1975.

using the $500,000 budget approved by City Council. The list includes three items totalling $44,900 approved by

council in 1975 to be deducted from the 1976 Capital Works Budget. Two streets, Breeze Drive and Weyburn Road, are recommended

for paving only in accordance with the phased. construction method

discussed in our report of Narch 26, 1976. We used the results of our rating indices as a guide in pre-

paring the suggested program. It will be noted that the suggested program does not include . . .

any drainage items as such. Ho· .. :e'"er, on Pl.ymouth Road, Hastings

Drive, Alfred Street, V7eyburn Road, \o:oo~nawn Road, Breeze Drive and

Locks Road the drainage works have been installed already and this

program takes advantage of these prior expenditures.

copies of which have been Circulated. In her opening remarks at

the beginning of the meeting, the Mayor noted that approval of

the plans in principle is required from CounCil before they can .

be forwarded to the Provincial and Federal Government levels for

approval and finalization of funding arrangements. Individual

aspects of the plans will later be presented for Council's con­

sideration and to be approved as the programs proceed. Recommend­

ations from the Planning Dept., with respect to the implementation I

of specifiC items proposed in the two schemes, were before Council

at this time but no action was taken on these reports during the

meeting.

Mr. Keith Lake, Chairman of the Notting Park Resource Group,

assisted by r~. Dan MBcLeod and other representatlves, made the

first presentation, outlining in detail the objectives of the

Notting Park Plan and the proposals for implementati~n, as set

out under the headings of Land Use & Zoning; RecreatiQn, Parks &

Open Space; TraffiC Cir9ulation; and Streetscapes. S~ides, maps,

and other graphiC materials were uSAd to illustrate the present­

ation, and the input from residents in this planning process was

. emphasized in both presentations. Mr. Jim Guilford, Chairman of

the Harbourview group, was also assisted by other members in

presenting' their concept plan, Specific areas of conCern having

'been designated under the ~eadings of Recreation, Parks & Open

Spa,oo; Traffio Circulation; Streets capes ; and Development Control.

material as well. Both groups Were complimented by the Mayor for

their efforts in preparing Schemes for upgrading their communities

under the NIP program. JUd. Cote and Day then moved that Council

forwarded to the other levels of government for approval.

Reference was made by Ald. Brennan to the Planning Dept.

repo~,t wit.h recommendations ,on spAcifiC items for implementation,

and he sugeested that approval on the part of'Council should be

made subject to the staff report. He inquired further about

implementation procedures and Mr. Guilford and Mr. Lake explained

the organizational process under which each of their groups Will

function as the SchemAs proceed. AId. Brennan asked if it would

be possible to have the Shore Road boardwalk funded by r.w.C.;

Mr. Bayer said it is indicated that r.w.C. are not prepared to

fund this $20,000. expenditure. Wuestions from the reSidents

attending the meeting concerned use of the Liquid CarboniC

building as a Community Activity Centre and the availability of

the swimming pool in the Dartmouth Park area for use this summer.

Mr. Lynch commented on some of the problems which make it difficult

to keep the pool operating through the summer months.

The members of Council who spoke on the mot-fon expre'ssed

support for the proposals contained in thA neighbourhood plans.

Ald. Brownlow asked if it would not be possible to begin at once

with some of the landscaping improvements suggAsted and Mr. Lynch

said he would be pleased to meet with rApresentatives to discuSS

implementation details which pertain to tree planting, flowers,

etc. 'Mr. Bayer expressed the hope that approvals from the Feders..

delay. When the motion was put, it carried unanimously.

Dear Madam and Gentlemen:

Re: Neighbourbood Improvement Programs

The neighbourhood improvement plans have been prepared for both the Notting Park .and lIarbourview areas and have been submitted to city Council by the respective community Chairmen.

The plans represent a planning pr~cess which has involved a cross-section of city staff, consultants and, most importantly, the conscientious efforts and determination of the people within the community. These two plans represent the first major effort to have people become involved in planning at the neighbourl10od level", and we respectfully request council's serious consideration of the contents of the plan.

'City Council has approved, in its 1976 Capital Budget, monies for the implementation of this program. :Attached you will find detailed reports from ~Jr. John Lukan of-. our department respecting both schemes.

Council's support of'the concept plans and specific approvals as required is necessary in order thattha programs can continue.

That tr.e Holiday Inn participate in the development of an active recreational park for those vacant lands immediately north of riindmill Road. The Holiday Inn is to be requested to.provide a long term lease of their lands for park purposes and to financially assist in the capital costs of the proposed improvements. N.I.P. funding and contribution amounts to $73,000. Phase I (Reference page 37-38)

If the Community Activity Center proves successful and necessary, it is proposed to place a further $95,000 of N.I.P. funds toward furthe~improvements to the building. It is anticipated that the larger community ,."ould also contribute funding. At the end of the experimental period, assuming that the Co~unity Activity center proves unfeasible, the allocated funds would be diverted toward other neighbourhood improvements. Phase II and III (Reference page 32-37)

During the experimental period,a community support and activity program is to be evolved for the Community Activity Center in order to meet operational costs in cooperation with the city Recreation and Social Services Departments.

Development Control

That traditional zoning techniques be replaced by a form of development control allowing single famflY dwellings to fo{alkup apartments to be judged on the merits of the specific proposal and in keeping with principles of compatibility, high standards of design and the character of the neighbourhood.

The Finance & SOCial ServicRs Committee has conSidered

proposed terms of refRrence for the Dartmouth Community

Servicfls Advisory Board, recommending that they not be accepted as

prflsfmted at this timfl. The Committee recommRnds that the Board

be formed but that it be rp.sponsiblp. to the Director of Social

Services for a one-year trial period to rietermine its ability to

function in a satisfactory mannAr as an advisory group. i~d. Hart

expressen her opposition to the recommendation from Committee and

proceeder! to move that approval in principlA be given t,he Dartmouth

Community SArvices klvisory Boarri, as an advisory pody to CounCil,

but that the group be directAd to consult with the City SoliCitor

• of Social Services~ Ald. Hart supportAd the advisory council

concept, suggesting that it is broader in scope than just the

social services aspect being emphasized in the debate. She referred

to the level of advice and guidance which would be proviried by

members of such a group and pointed out that Council could disband

the Board at any time if it did not function effectively. The . . . Mayor commenteri on the conferrmc('l at which the idea of an Advisory . . . .

Board or~ginated, pointing; out that it is not a welfare rights

organization and would not infringe on the jurisdictions of the

City1s Social Services Dept. Mr. McNeil was asked to comment

during the riebate and said that While he would be willing to meet \

at any time with citizen groups interested in social services, he

would not recommend a Board constituten as presently proposed.

After further discussion, Council adopted a motion introduced by

l~d. Kavanaugh ann Smith, referring the terms of reference back

to the Anvisory Board for a clearer description of their role in

providing the s('lrvices outlined.

Dear Mr. Cohoon:

.... . Apr.i:l 21, 1976.

.Please be advised that it is my desire to have Council review the City I s policy on using \'1aste oil to reduce dust on the City I S unpaved streets. I personally feel that the' waste oil creates more problems for the residents than does the dust and have received a munber of phone calls to this effect.

Would :x'ou, therefore, put this on the Nay Agenda under Original Communications?

It "lould cost approximately $2500. to extend the sewer sufficiently to service lot ~~ 293. It ,·wuld be jUst about impossible to service lot # 294 without a pump.

Although not even It would pave the

City Administrator

Dear Sir:

...

1 hereby-make application that a sewer be extended on MarvinStreet so I will be able to service Lots 293 and 294 as suggested by your Engineering. Department (see attached photostatic copy). . .

1 would like to point out a'\; this time that at the time of purchasing the property from Mr. Marvin . in 1962 I was advised by the City Engineer, Mr. Lahey, that the sewer was available for Lots 293 and 294, and the lots were assessed as if they had water and sewer. Years later it was found out that the sewer was /'jot available a~d consequently the assessments were lowered.

1 appreciate the help I hnve received now in obtaining the drawing of the sewer on Marvin Street.

ATTENTION: Mr. C; A •. I.ioir City Administrator

Dear Sir:

Further to your letter of I.larch 9th I was un~ble to talk to the City Engineer, however, 1 had an interview with the Assistant City Engine~r, Mr. Purdy, who agreed that it is' a rare case that no manhole is provided on the end of this extreMe sewer ,line. If the sewer line becomes clogged it will be difficult to clean the line without having a manhole. Therefore, I suggest that the manhole will be beneficial to the City. '.

I have also obtained an estimate from a Contractor who assured me that it will cost approximately $1,000.00 to install and supply one manhole. The cost of running the sewer line would be $15.00 per foot which would total an estimate cost of $1,750.00 •.

I do not agree with your letter that I am a developer and I have checked my file in th~assess6r's

. office ancl I was charged '$800.00 taxes during the years 1963 to 1966. At the time the City found out that the sewer was not available in front of the property it was dropped to $500.00 from 1966 to 1970. Consequently thE' taxes were raised to $800.00 which was due to a gRneral reassessment of all proporty 'in Dartmouth. If this land was raw property then it should have been asses~ed at the same rate which applies to the remaining portion of the Marvin Sub-Division which at the present time is $200.00 for a double lot.

1 hope this information will help you in reaching a decision in submitting this proposal to City Council for approval.

Further to ny IGtt~r of February 25~ I now wish to advise that I hnv(1 roco.ivad the cost ont:.inwi:-:,'; from our City Engineer. "a ndv1Dcs ma that it would cost ~pproxlMatelg $2,500 to ext(wd Se!'1or l,10i1it10::; 1:0 servico Lot 293 and that it would be impcissible to service Lot 294 without tha inRtal­lation of a 11lt pump. This would cost aonaidorablg more.

~'he city T:ng.ineer nlm po.ints out: tile' I: th.? .'If:reot 1n Ero~t of theso lots ls not completely rough~a out and 1t would cost approximately $5,000 to build,curb,and pave the 66' oE rOadfofl.lY In .~ront of these lots. .

I N'ould not ba .orepnred to recoPmtcJ]ld to Ci ftl Couno-H that this expenditur~ be undertnken to servico two lots and perhaps you woula llka to come in and disouss the problom with our City l~lIgineer.

REPORT TO DARTMOUTH CITY COUNCIL ON

EROSION PROBLEM - DOROTHEA DRIVE AREA

1_;: FROM . DARTMOUTH LAKES ADVISORY BOARD.

The problem of erosion from the storm water flowing from the Dorothea Drive area via open ditch dO\,ffi to the Ellenvale Brook be­hind the end of Piper Street has been investigated on the site by members of the Lakes· Advisory Board and discussed at a meeting of the Board. In looking at this problem, two things were noted: 1. there is considerable erosion and deepening of the ditch, particu~ larily_in th~ area where overburden has been placed and on the do\'mhill slopes, and 2. at some points on the dovmhill slopes, the ditch shoulder has eroded, permitting water to flow over private lands.

To eliminate these problems, we believe that the following things should be done: Recommendation 1. As a minimum, a maintenance program on the ditch should be carried out, under which the ditch channel is corrected to prevent water flowing over private property and a f.1tabilization program, based on the reshaping of the ditch channel with the plac­ing of stone along the bottom of the channel and sloping and seed­ing of the' sides should be carried out. It may be possible to do this ·work under the City's riormal maintenance budget with possible volunteer help from residents of the area. Recommendation 2. The ultimate solution to the problem would be the piping of the water course from the end of the existing 21" pipe at the end of the Dorothea Drive walkway to the bottom of the steep slopes across the park. This would involve approximately 160 lineal feet of pipe to the Subdivision boundary and 440 lineal feet of

• • • •• 2.

pipe to the bottom of the steepest slopes. The cost for this work would probably be in the range of $5000. from the end of the walk­way to the area where the current drainage course turns dovm the hill where the most pressing need for erosion control is currently sho\'m. The remainder of the work would probably cost approximately $15,000. at current construction prices.

If neither of these recommended steps are carried out, we may expect the ditch will continue to erode, though probably at a' 'sl'ow­er rate, and it will continue to provide an unsightly and perhaps, to small children, an even dangerous condition. If Recommendation 1. is carried out, it could perhaps be incorporated with a Recrea­tion Department development of the parkland and be turned into a reasonably attractive watercourse, although maintenance would still be necessary on an annual basis, and would ultimately be more cost­ly than if Recommendation 2. were carried out.

REPORT RE: Application for Excavation Permit -- La timer Construction Limi ted

An application has been received from Latimer Construction Limited of Truro for an Excavation Permit in order to conduct a temporary crushing operation on. lands owned by W. Eric Whebby Limited, alon.g the easterly side of Waverley Road in the vicinity of Civic # 404.

The proposed excavation area is an existing gravel .pit and it has been used as a source of fill material during the past few years. The estimated quantity of gravel required is -97,000 tons and the material would be crushed at the pit site. The excavation would be a side hill cut and no "water holes" are anticipated.

The crusher to be used in. the operation is a small one and no washing of the crushed material is required. Dust should not be a problem. Runoff from the site is minimal and I would not anticipate a siltation problem in Lake Charles as a result of this operation. The latter two items will be monitered closely by Mr. Bryson of the Planning Department and Engineering Department staff.

As outlined in the details the operation would be approved only for the crushing of 97,000 tons of material for the Portland Street Interchange Contract.

We would hereby recommend that the proposed excavation permit be approved subject to the conditions listed below: -

The Pe=mit will be issued in accordance with By-Laws C-l30 anc C-183 with details as follows:

. In accordance with the request which you made in your letter of April 28, 1976, the Dartmouth Lakes Advisory Board discussed the proposed Excavation Fermi-I; for Latimer Con­struction Limited of Truro, N.S. Mr. David Latimer appeared be­fore the Board and the items proposed for run-off control which are outlined in the attached letter were thoroughly discussed with him. It was agreed by the Board that these nine items should be carried out as part of any Excavation Permit, and in addition, the following items would be recommended as conditionsl

1. a ten-minute retention time must be provided fo~ in the de­sign of the settling pond.

2. a filter is to be provided on the outlet, and construction of the settling pond should be carried out in a manner sat­isfactory to the Engineering Department.

,3. the' construction and effectiveness of the settling pond would be subj ect to inspection by the City On-site Inspec­tor and, if not satisfactory, would result in the excavation permi t . being revolted.

4. Latimer Construction would·be responsible for reclamation of those areas worlted by th'e company, which would take in not only the slopes but other sections not excavated down to the bedrock. The grubbing would have' to be levelled .bacIt over these excavated areas and they would have to be successfully

/ seeded. 5. large rocks should be put into the outlet ditch as may be re­

quired for water flow energy dissipation. 6. drainage from the crusher should be directed to the settling

pond.

The Dartmouth Lakes Advisory Board recommended for

approval of the Excavation permit application, subject to the con.:. ditions listed in the attached letter from Mr; Latimer and the addi­tional conditions recommended in this letter.

rr'he Board was concerned that the permit be granted only for the six months requested by La-timer Construction, and on the proviso that there be no blasting and only a primary crusher be used to obtain 211 material. Concern was expressed for the rehabilitation of the site, and it was felt that Latimer Construction must be required to sticlt strictly within the Hmi ts outlined-on the submitted plans. Fear Vias expressed that this area mieht be utilized by some other company in the future as a more permanen-c type of quarry operation, and the Lakes Advisory Board would definitely be against this.

Dear Hrs Manzer:

Under separate covel' we have submitted an application for an excavation permit to the City of Dartmouth for a pit located on the '~averly Road.

''le are enclosing a plan to you shOl'ling pl'oposed run-off controls. The salient points to our proposal are as £0110''{s:

1. The majority of run-off 'from the pit ,.,.ould be townrd the North side. Wo "'ould construct a sottling pond on this run to contl'ol 5iltntion. From this sottl:lng pond the water ,.,.ould flo'''' over sevel'al hundred foot of hoavy growth area before reaching the Run on the NOl'th side.

2. A small amount of run off would occur down a ditch that runs along side the road leading into the pit. Wo 'I'ould construct: a settling pond on this ditch.

3. Additional grubbing 'iould be done tOlUlrcl t:he East side .. The. :run-off fl'om this hns to travol over the hoavy gro'l'th area before reaching the Run on tha North side e

9. The material in the pit is of granular nature \'lith a minimum of clay. The only clay content would be in the grubbing on the East side the run-off from which does not flow directly into Lake Charles.

It would appear to be very shor~-8igh~ed of Council to leave these two remaining homes witho".).'i; ser-)iaea when a main road­way prog~am is planned for that area, and it .wouZd be very aostly to dig up at a later date.

APPLICATION TO REZONE - DOREY' S GROCERY'~.~~~LAWN R~

7'f

Att~ched please find an arrlicat~on received from Mr. James Dickey of Waterfield and Waterfield on behalf of his client Mr. Bruce Dorey to have the property situated on the corner.of Woodlawn Road, Day Avenue, and Settle Street rezoned from R-l (single family residential) to C~l-A (local business zone). The property consists of three existing t~10 family lots, one of which contains the existing Dorey's Grocery. The Developer did not state how he intented to utilize the property ,if rezoned.

The store at present is a nonconforming use. It is recognized that the store serves ~a need in the area and to that end the D'epartment would like to see it remain. However, any maj or expan sion will begin to infringe upon the surrounding residential uses. This infringement could only serve as a catalyst in errding the residential character of the neighbourhood. Furthermore the intersection is at present over burdened with vehc:ular and pedestrian (school children) traffic. Further ~evelopment would only add to and worsen this congestion.

In conclusion it is our opinion that this rezoning request should be denied.

Respectfully submitted for your information and consideration • ....

Dear Madam and Gentlemen:

Re: Rezoning request - Nova Scotia Housing Commission' - Forest Hills

A proposal to rezone what is knot-m as Phases 5 and 6 of the Forest Hills development t-Ias presented to City Council at a Public Neeting on October 7, 1975. At that tjme two citizens groups presented briefs on the project to Council. Council instructed city staff to meet with housing commission staff to consider the various points raised by the residents. (See attached council minutes along t-.l'ith original staff report)

We reviewed the revised plan and are satisfied that the plan does, within reason, satisfy both the wishes of the residents and the Planning Department staff. (Copies of both the original plan and the revised plan will be available at the council meeting)

In conclusion, we recommend approval as requested.
