    Overview:

    • This report recommends approval in principle of an Official Plan Amendment to establish policies for the Huttonville Secondary Plan (SPA29). The primary purpose of the new Secondary Plan is to provide guidance for the development of a new residential subdivision proposed by Four X Developments. It also implements policies for the existing Huttonville Estates community to the south of the Four X lands.

    • This report also recommends approval of the associated draft plan of subdivision and Zoning By-law amendment to permit the development of 402 detached dwellings, two storm water management ponds and a neighbourhood park.

    • The development proposal is characterized by its unique location and natural heritage features, which makes it the ideal location for incorporating executive residential housing. The planning vision for the area is to create a community that builds on the area's unique characteristics and proximity to natural heritage features.

    • This community will incorporate alternative design standards for the local and collector road network serving this subdivision, which includes collector road widths of 21.5m and 18.0m and local road widths of 16.5m.

    • The recommended conditions of approval will ensure that these lands are developed in a manner that is sensitive to the scale, design and character of the existing Huttonville Estates and Springbrook neighbourhoods and implements the planning vision for the area.

    MAP 2: LOCATION MAP

    The surrounding land uses are described as follows:

    North: Vacant agricultural lands that are currently designated as part of the North West Brampton Policy Area and Corridor Protection Area;

    South: Credit River Valley, beyond which is Embleton Road and existing single detached dwellings;

    East: Mississauga Road, beyond which is the Springbrook Upscale Executive Housing Community;

    West: Natural features to the west and

    southwest of the property, associated with the Credit River

    valley system.

  • t=6-T-

    The subject lands have the following characteristics:

    ♦ is primarily located at 9330 Mississauga Road, which is currently being used for agricultural uses. This property includes a farmstead, known as the Cleaveview Farm, which is identified as a Class B Cultural Heritage Resource. The Cleaveview site dates back to the early mid-19th century and contains a house built in 1914, and a large wood-clad barn, constructed in 1882, among more recent structures and outbuildings such as sheds, a trailer and two silos;

    ♦ a portion of the development site is located at 9264 Mississauga Road. An existing single detached dwelling is situated on the property.

    ♦ has a site area of approximately 43.81 hectares (108.26 acres), with a frontage of approximately 500 metres (1640 feet) along Mississauga Road;

    ♦ including Huttonville Estates, the Official Plan Amendment covers an area of approximately 84 hectares (208 acres).

    Changes from the Original Proposal The following changes have been made to the plan since the public meeting on April 8, 2013 to address the comments received through the development review process:

    • An executive residential enclave has been defined, which will primarily be located along the south end of the draft plan, and is characterised by dwelling units with a range in lot widths between 14.3 metres (47 feet) and 18.3 metres (60 feet).

    • An executive residential transition area with lot widths that generally range from 14.3 (47 feet) metres to 15.9 metres (52 feet).

    • A minimum of 14.3 metre (47 feet) wide lots have been incorporated along Mississauga Road to be consistent with the larger lot widths that align the east side of Mississauga Road within the Springbrook community.

    • An additional north-south local road (Outbound Heights) has been added through the middle of the plan to break up the large block and support walkability.

    • The length of Raindrop Crescent has been reduced to accommodate the abutting valleyland and buffer.

    • An alternative design standard has been used for the road network resulting in road widths of 16.5 metres (54 feet), 18.5 metres (60.7 feet) and 21.5 metres (70.5 feet)

    . ::-" •-•'••• ' ' : ' *l ^

    PLANNING ANALYSIS SUMMARY

    Four X Developments Incorporated has proposed a plan of subdivision that includes a component of executive residential housing to provide an appropriate interface and transition to the adjacent communities of Huttonville Estates and Springbrook.

    The subdivision design is characterized by the central park location and views/ connections to the surrounding open space system. The neighbourhood park also acts as an entry feature given its location at the end of Walkercleave Road.

    An official plan amendment will establish the policies for Secondary Plan 29. The amendment will define the policy framework for Huttonville Estates and set out the development principles to guide the new subdivision. The new Secondary Plan will also ensure that Huttonville Estates will not be negatively impacted by the Four X subdivision.

  • 1=6-°l

    PLANNING ANALYSIS SUMMARY cont'd

    The Urban Design Guidelines show that the quality of the architecture and open space design elements will be sympathetic to the surrounding communities of Huttonville and Springbrook. In the process of finalizing the guidelines and the plan of subdivision the applicant shall demonstrate that the entry lots and roundabout lots are of a sufficientsize to function appropriately and achieve the design objectives that reflect their visual prominence within the subdivision.

    The Four X development proposal is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement and Growth Plan, as well as the City's Strategic Plan.

    The proposed official plan and zoning by-law amendments are acceptable in principle. Specific restrictions and requirements will be included in the amendments to ensure that these lands are developed in a manner that is sensitive to the scale, design and character of the surrounding community.

    A public meeting was held April 8, 2013 with seven residents speaking to the proposal. This report addresses concerns raised throughout the public consultation process, which includes issues related to traffic, privacy, environmental protection and compatibility.

    The proposed development represents good planning.

    APPENDIX '4'

    DETAILED PLANNING ANALYSIS

    City File Number: C05W07.004

    Provincial Policy Statement: The Four X Developments proposal is consistent with matters of provincial interest as identified in the Provincial Policy Statement. Specifically the proposal is consistent with Section 1.1.1 which requires planning authorities to accommodate an appropriate range and mix of housing. In this case, low density housing is proposed with a component of upscale executive housing, which contributes to the range of housing available in Brampton.

    The Four X Developments proposal is also consistent with Section 1.1.1 c, which requires planning authorities to avoid development and land use patterns, which may cause environmental, or public health and safety concerns. A thorough environment review process was undertaken in consultation with Credit Valley Conservation to ensure that the Credit River and its tributaries are protected.

    Official Plan:

    Four X Developments (OfficialPlan Amendment, Rezoning and Plan of Subdivision): The lands subject to the Plan of Subdivision are designated as "Estate Residential" and "Open Space" according to Schedule A - General Land Use Designations of the Official Plan. These lands are also "Upscale Executive Housing Special Policy Area 2" according to Schedule A1.

    It was determined through the pre-consultation process that the lands do not fall within the Northwest Brampton (NWB) Urban Development Area, NWB Policy Area designation and the NWB Corridor Protection Area designation. On this basis the lands can proceed independently from the planning of Area 52 (Huttonville North) and Area 53 (Mount Pleasant West), collectively referred to as Heritage Heights. The applicant has proposed a policy framework that will guide the development of the subdivision. The proposed amendment specifies desired land-use designations, a transportation network and the protected natural heritage system (see Appendix 8).

    The "Upscale Executive Housing Policy Area 2" designation that applies to the subject lands also applies to a large part of the Credit Valley Secondary Plan. The minimum amount of executive housing to be achieved in the special policy area is 1000 units. This objective has already been met with most of the executive housing occurring in the Springbrook area. Despite this, the development proposal will still provide elements of executive housing, including large lot sizes and upgraded design components to be compatible with Huttonville Estates and Springbrook.

    Huttonville Estates (Official Plan Amendment): The area known as Huttonville Estates is designated as "Village Residential" and "Open Space" according to Schedule A - General Land Use Designations of the Official Plan. A component of the Official Plan Amendment application also applies to the existing community of Huttonville Estates. No development is proposed within Huttonville Estates and

    14

  • FS-15

    there currently is no Secondary Plan that applies to Huttonville Estates. The existing policies of the Official Plan will continue to apply, but are proposed to be augmented with policies in the new Secondary Plan.

    Secondary Plan: The proposed policy framework provides the development principles that will guide the development of the subject lands. The lands are to be designated as "Low Density Residential", "Low Density Residential (Executive). Only single detached units will be permitted. The "Low Density Residential (Executive)" component will be defined by the lot sizes and upgraded architectural design features. The "Low Density Residential" designation will have similar architectural features but will allow for smaller lot sizes. Additional policies will be included to provide for a transition.

    The "Low Density Residential (Executive)" area has a density of approximately 16.5 units per net hectare (6.47 units per net acre). This is greater than the typical density for upscale executive housing (14.5 units per net hectare), however is acceptable given the limited area devoted to executive residential for this neighbourhood. In addition to the executive residential enclave, a transition area is provided along the north side of Rolling Acres Drive and the southern portion of Longevity Road, with lot sizes in the range of 14.3 to 15.9 metres wide. These provide an appropriate transition to the 11.7 metre wide lots generally located north of the community. This development will have an overall maximum density of 21 units per net hectare.

    In addition to the residential development principles, the Secondary Plan will also provide the designation and policy framework for the "Natural Heritage System", "Stormwater Management Pond" and the "Neighbourhood Park" elements of the development.

    The new secondary plan recognizes the existing community of Huttonville Estates, which is characterized by large estate residential housing on large lots with private services including water and septic systems. The community has a very rural appeal with no sidewalks, extensive landscaping and tree cover in a natural setting. The existing official plan policies will continue to apply but will be supplemented with policies in the Secondary Plan.

    Zoning: Four X Developments: The lands subject to the Plan of Subdivision are zoned "Agricultural-1869 (A-1869)", "Agricultural-1872 (A-1872)", and "Floodplain (F)". In conjunction with the Plan of Subdivision, an amendment to the Zoning By-law is required. The draft zoning by-law is acceptable in principle and will be refined prior to enactment of the zoning by-law.

    Huttonville Estates:

    Lands within Huttonville Estates are currently zoned "Residential Rural Estate One-177 (RE1177)", "Residential Hamlet One (RHM1)", "Floodplain (F)", Agricultural (A) and "Open Space (OS)" by By-Law 270-2004, as amended. No amendment to the Zoning By-law for Huttonville Estates is proposed or required.

    15

  • F5-IU

    Interim Control By-law 306-2003: Although the lands fall outside the NWB Corridor Protection Area identified in the Official Plan, the lands are subject to an Interim Control By-law (ICBL), which includes the Four X Development property.

    On October 15, 2003, City Council enacted interim control By-Law 306-2003 to protect lands in West Brampton so the Ministry of Transportation could undertake a Needs Assessment Study for a proposed "North South Transportation Corridor." The Ministry's Strategic Directions report of January 2003 identified a potential north-south highway link in Brampton's west end, consistent with the City's earlier findings that there was a need for a "North-South Transportation Corridor" in the Halton-Peel boundary area.

    In 2005, Council adopted an Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-Law to implement corridor protection policies and zoning provisions. OP93-255 and Zoning By-Law 300-2005 were subsequently appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) by a number of parties. The final disposition of these appeals has not been determined by the OMB. Therefore, in accordance with Section 38 (6.1) of the Planning Act, Interim Control By-Law 306-2003 remains in effect until the appeals have been dealt with by the OMB.

    More recently it has been determined by the Province that the subject lands no longer fall within the GTA West Preliminary Route Planning Study Area.

    Since the lands are within the area subject to the ICBL, an exemption from the ICBL is required. Prior to the adoption of the OPA and enactment of the Zoning By-law staff will present a by-law for Council enactment to exempt the lands from the ICBL.

    Urban Design: As part of the development approval process, the applicant submitted a set of Community Design Guidelines (CDG's), which provides the design direction for the community and serves as a supplement to the City's 'parent' Development Design Guidelines. The CDG's focuses on the physical design of the community, with particular references to major Structuring Elements, including the Natural Heritage System (NHS), major road network, trails and pathways, neighbourhoods, park and open space and stormwater management ponds. The document describes and details how Special Character Areas and distinct components form the identity of the community and define neighbourhoods. Additionally, it will prescribe landscape and built-form guidelines and principles for these areas and components, including related non-standard elements.

    The following section describes these key areas and components of the proposed community that are integral to the establishment of a unique character, including the following:

    • Mississauga Road Interface • Roundabout Dwellings • Central Park Area

    • Executive Residential Area

    16

  • F5-R-

    The Mississauga Road interface provides a highly visible community edge which will largely define the character of the Four X Development from outside the community and will serve to provide the link with the established Springbrook community situated on the east side of Mississauga Road.

    The roundabout dwellings shall be designed to serve as community landmark homes, since they area in a highly visible location at the entry road into the community. Each of these dwellings will have a unique facade treatment and presence.

    The Central Park Area serves as a primary focus for the Four X Development community. This area is situated along the main north-south axis and the two main east-west axes, with terminating views along the major entry road into the community from Mississauga Road.

    The four lots that flank onto the park provide will provide an opportunity to create an attractive built form backdrop to this neighbourhood feature. Lots have been sized with additional widths to allow wall articulation, building projections and additional windows to face the park.

    The executive area is meant to provide the architectural and landscape open space elements that are consistent with upscale executive areas across the City. The majority of the lot sizes within this area are reflective of the lots size typically found in other upscale communities, with some exceptions noting that this is a transition area from the core upscale executive housing elements located in Springbrook and the existing Huttonville Estates.

    In addition to these character areas, the subdivision has provided the opportunity for future executive residential housing to the west of the proposed subdivision as part of the extension of Dairymaid Road. The tertiary plan that was created in support of the development proposal shows that the lands to the west have the potential to develop as further executive residential.

    Staff continue to review the CDG's but are generally satisfied with the work that has been completed to date. Prior to draft approval, staff will need to work with the applicant to address the configuration and design of the roundabout lots and the entry dwelling units that flank Mississauga Road and front on to Walkercleave Road. Staff want to ensure there are no conflicts between vehicles entering and exiting their driveways and the traffic along Walkercleave Road, while providing for appropriate urban design features that will mark the entrance to this community. Similarly staff want to ensure that the roundabout lots are wide enough so that the driveways do not conflict with the function of the roundabout and meet the design objectives that reflect their visual prominence within the subdivision.

    As such, staff recommend approval of this development application, subject to specific conditions requiring the CDG's to be finalized, including the design of the entry feature lots and roundabout lots.

    Transportation/Traffic: In support of the application, Cole Engineering was retained by developer to undertake Traffic Impact Study. The applicant is proposing one primary access point on Mississauga

    17

  • FS-IS

    Road opposite Beacon Hill Drive and one emergency access off Milky Way to Mississauga Road.

    The TIS concludes that the proposal will have negligible impact on the intersection operations, capacity and delay during both weekday AM and PM peak hours for the surrounding network, which include a review of the 2018 and 2031 projected scenario.

    City staff continue to review the TIS however are in support of its findings. In order to make accessing the site more efficient, transportation planning and the applicants consultant are still assessing the need for a temporary secondary access until additional access points are provided north of the subject lands as part of the Heritage Heights Secondary Plan. If a temporary access is provided, it will not have any major impacts on the development proposal. Prior to draft approval, final determination of the temporary/interim access will need to be addressed.

    Certain alternative design standards have been proposed by this developer for the local and collector road network serving this subdivision. Specifically, the applicant is proposing collector road widths of 21.5m and 18.0m and local road widths of 16.5m. These alternative

    design standards have recently been used in other parts of the City including Mount Pleasant and Countryside Villages. From a land-use planning perceptive these design standards offer more opportunity for the developer to provide the larger lots that are envisioned for these lands. From an engineering and transportation planning perspective these alternative design standards provide for the functional requirements necessary to serve the proposal. The City's Engineering and Development Services section has endorsed the use of these alternative design standards.

    Environmental Issues:

    An Environmental Implementation Report (EIR) was submitted in support of the application, to confirm the environmental hazards and ecological constraints associated with the valley and watercourse corridors, drainage features, wetlands, woodlands, fish and wildlife habitat and the groundwater system.

    The primary focus of an EIR is to address the impacts of development on the natural environment and implement the recommendations of subwatershed studies. The EIR is also intended to confirm natural feature limits, and evaluate protection requirements for natural heritage features on adjacent lands. Typically the EIR process will identify the requirements and responsibilities for implementing the approved sub-watershed study.

    In this case, given the property's location and status within the Official Plan, a subwatershed study has not been completed. Since the property falls outside the Northwest Brampton Urban Development Area, the EIR was prepared independently of those area specific studies. In consultation with the City and Credit Valley Conservation (CVC), the EIR was prepared in a manner that is consistent with the goals and objectives of the ongoing Heritage Heights Subwatershed Study. The information that is available from the Heritage Heights Subwatershed Study was used as input to this EIR.

    18

  • F5H*I

    Although staff from the City and Credit Valley Conservation continue to review the EIR, the EIR is considered substantially complete. The limits of development are not anticipated to change as a result of completing the final components of the EIR. Prior to draft plan approval the EIR will need to be finalized in consultation with CVC and the Region of Peel.

    Servicing: The EIR also incorporates a Functional Servicing Report (FSR) component, which details how the lands are to be serviced from a stormwater management, water and sanitary servicing perspective.

    Stormwater Management: Stormwater quality and quantity control for the development will be provided by two stormwater management (SWM) facilities. One is located within a 3.65 ha SWM block at the southwest corner of the development and the other is located within a 4.41 ha SWM block at the southeast corner of the development.

    Sanitary Sewer: The internal sanitary sewer system will connect to the local deep sanitary sewer discharging flows to the existing 1200 diameter sanitary truck sewer located along Mississauga Road at the intersection with Beacon Hill Drive.

    Water:

    The property is located within an area that will be serviced by the Region of Peel Lake Based Water Supply System. The area is with the western water supply system, serviced by the Lome Park Water treatment Plant and is subdivided between pressure zones 4, 5, and 6. The current proposal will be serviced internally by a 300 mm diameter watermain and will connect to an existing 750 mm diameter watermain located on Mississauga Road.

    The FSR is also considered to be substantially complete and will need to be finalized in consultation with CVC and the Region of Peel, prior to draft approval.

    Schools:

    The subject application has been circulated to the Peel District School Board (PDSB) and the Dufferin Peel Catholic District School Board (DPCDSB) for their review and comment. The PDSB anticipates a potential yield of approximately:

    • 142 Junior Kindergarten to Grade 5 students, • 61 Grade 6 to Grade 8 students; and • 55 Grade 9 to Grade 12 students

    The DPCDSB anticipates a potential yield of approximately:

    • 53 Junior Kindergarten to Grade 8 students; and • 17 Grade 9 to Grade 12 students

    Both school boards do not object to the proposed development and have provided conditions of approval in this regard. The Developer will be required to advise future residents through

    purchase and sale agreements and signage that students from this development may be accommodated in other schools outside the area.

    Emergency Services: The subject site will be serviced by fire station 212, which is located at 8220 Mississauga Road. The fire station is located approximately 3.6 km from the subject site.

    Results of the Public Meeting: A special meeting of the Planning Design and Development Committee was held on April 8, 2013 in the Council Chambers, 4th Floor, 2 Wellington Street West, Brampton, Ontario, commencing at 7:00 p.m. with respect to the subject application. Notices of this meeting were sent to property owners within 900 metres of the subject lands in accordance with the Planning Act and City Council procedures. The following seven area residents made representation:

Steve Shaw, Ostrander Boulevard, Brampton 6. Jerry Smitka, River Road, Brampton 7. David Mew, Ostrander Boulevard, Brampton

    Below is a summary of the concerns that were raised by the public during the development review process followed by staff's response to each of these issues:

    Privacy

    Some residents were concerned with privacy given that their existing homes back onto the development proposal.

    Staff Response: Two stormwater management ponds and open space blocks are located at the south end of the plan of subdivision, adjacent to Huttonville Estates. These ponds and open space blocks will act as a buffer and transition to the existing residential lands to the south. The open space blocks will be heavily vegetated to provide screening and maintain the privacy of the existing Huttonville residents. It is noted that there is a substantial distance of approximately 115 metres between the rear yard property line of the existing residential lots in Huttonville and the rear yard lot line of the proposed draft plan of subdivision.

    Along the southern portion of the proposed subdivision, there will be formal pedestrian connection that will lead to the service road for the stormwater management ponds. These service roads will encircle the two stormwater management ponds and will provide access to the ponds for the purpose of long-term maintenance, which is a typical design standard for stormwater management ponds. Although not a formal trail, these service roads will act as an informal trail for residents.

    Compatibility

    Residents have expressed concern with respect to compatibility between the existing subdivision and the proposed plan of subdivision.

    Staff Response: The applicant is proposing the largest lot sizes at the south end of the subdivision, which are primarily 18.3 metres (60 feet) wide, as a way of transitioning from the existing estate lots in Huttonville. These lots are considered to be executive residential and will be characterized by a high degree architectural built form. This in conjunction with the considerable distance between the dwellings of the proposed plan and the existing homes of Huttonville, provides for a suitable transition.

    22

  • F5-23 Traffic Congestion

    Residents expressed concerns with the potential for increased traffic in their neighbourhood as a result of the development proposal.

    Staff Response: The impact of this development on traffic is addressed in the Detailed Analysis section (Appendix 6). The traffic generated by the proposed development will have minimal impact on the intersections in proximity to this site. The proposed road network has no direct access to the Huttonville Estates area.

    Environmental Concerns

    One resident noted that there are stormwater ponds in Brampton that are releasing "silty water" into the Credit River. They noted that the water is harmful to the river which is home to salmon that need clean, cold water to survive. It was noted that the Environmental Ministries are working hard to protect and restore the salmon population and a poorly managed, improperly built stormwater pond is unacceptable.

    Staff Response: The Environmental Implementation Report has been reviewed by Environmental Planning staff from the City and Credit Valley Conservation and deemed to be substantially complete. The EIR/FSR provides a detailed analysis of water quality and quantity, and its impact on the Credit River tributary. Staff from the CVC and the City are satisfied with the analysis and that the tributary of the Credit River will not be negatively impacted and that appropriate controls will be in place.

    Construction Activity

    Residents have expressed concern over the construction activity associated with this development and the potential of dust and dirt.

    Staff Response The applicant will have to adhere to standard practices in terms of hours of work and control of dust, mud-tracking and noise. They are prohibited from operating construction equipment before 7:00am and after 11:00pm. The owner is obligated to keep the public sidewalks and streets clean from construction, such as the tracking of mud and dirt from roads. If there is a problem that has not been rectified and the City is notified, the City provides a warning to the developer, asking that the situation be rectified within 24 hours. If the work is not completed the City has the option to clean up the area itself and charge the costs back to the developer.

    Hi Jason. Seeingthat Heritage Heights is anticipated to be a communitydesigned with active transportation in mind, we do not have an issue with utilizing 'alternative design standards' for Four Xas well. That said, we will be reviewing the current ADS cross sections that were implemented in the Mount Pleasant secondary plan. We can put general verbiage to capture this in FourX; however, the rights-of-way dimensions have yet to be finalized, though we will try to be as close as possible to the current ADS's. Trust this helps. Talk soon. Michael

    plantings are not considered mitigation/compensation for the removal of natural heritage features and functions.

    b. The report does not adequately address the justification and mitigation of the proposed reduction of environmental buffers, notably 30 metres around the PSW and 10 metres around CRT5-5.

    c. The submission recommends removal ofthe HDF CRT5-6 and an associated wetland feature that is approximately 0.4 ha. Mitigation 1 recommendation requires the applicant to uReplicate functions through enhanced lot level conveyance measures, such as well-vegetated swales (herbaceous, shrub and tree material) to mimic online wet vegetation pockets, orreplicate through constructed wetland features". Currently, the plan does not demonstrate mitigation / compensation for the form and function of CRT5-6 and associated wetland area.

    Staff would recommend that a wetland feature of approximately 0.4 ha be provided north of 'Street 10* including recognition of clean flows and installation of an appropriate wildlife culvert connection to CRT5-5.

    d. ELC Unit #11 is rich in mature native trees and would appear to provide a strong linkage between the Credit River valley and the Woodland/Wetland feature (Oak-Maple Deciduous Forest and Maple-Green Ash Swamp) located on the Region of Peel property north of this area in the Heritage Heights community.

    The City recommends the protection of this hedgerow including the provision of a 10 metre buffer to ensure that this feature is protected from the impacts offuture development.

    ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLEMENTATION REPORT: Environmental Engineering

    1. The finding of the Heritage Heights sub-watershed Study including the boundary of study area covering Block 52 and 53 should be included in the subject

    Environmental Implementation Report (EIR).

    2. The EIR should be revised to indicate that the limit of development is 10 m measured from the greater of the following:

    • Regional storm flood level • Existing stable top of bank • Long term slope stability line • Meander belt width

    • Vegetation dripline

  • (•W C$8

    3. The Executive Summary of the subject report should identify that the EIR includes a Functional Servicing Report; and therefore the title of this report should be changed to "Environmental Implementation Report and Functional Servicing Report, FourX Lands, Brampton, Ontario."

    4. To facilitate the review of the detailed assessment of Credit River tributary, please show the location of CRT 5-3 reach on Fig. 6, Fig 7, etc.

    5. To facilitate the review of the reach characteristics of the subject property against North West Brampton Heritage Heights Subwatershed Study, another column should be added to Table 9 containing sub-watershed ID of the previous study by Geomorphic Solution included in Appendix 'D' of the report.

    6. The report recommends a 25.0 m meander belt width for reach CRT 5-3, but does not include a recommended meander belt for the remaining reaches within the study area. Please qualify whether a meander belt width assessments for other reaches is required?

    7. The EIR states that best efforts will be employed to implement LID techniques that can function under low permeability conditions, which implies there is a possibility of failure. Therefore in the event of a failure, please describe what alternative measures will be employed to maintain the water balance, particularly to ensure that the recharge rate will not be significantly affected.

    8. To facilitate the review of the plan and topography of the existing site conditions, the scale and legend must be added to Fig (10) included in Hydrogeologic Investigation Report.

    9. The proposed bioswale conceptual drawings should be confirmed by an appropriate calculation and acceptable design criteria.

    10.Table 4 of the EIR (Page 34) provides a breakdown of the proposed drainage for Credit River sub-watershed 9, and areas should be clearly shown on Figure 6, for example, the proposed area of 12.7 ha. Please revise the figure or create a separate figure to show all of the sub-catchments as identified in Table 4.

    11. Please revise Figure 9 to include the Regional Storm floodlines.

    12. Page 68 of the EIR notes that a feature based water balance model has been established and run monthly for three separate years and mitigation will involve infiltration targets. However, the report also identifies that the existing features are mainly fed by surface runoff.. Please clarify this inconsistency.

    FUNCTIONAL SERVICING REPORT: Environmental Engineering

    1. The proposed residential development is within the Huttonville Secondary Plan Area 29, and found immediately to the south of the North West Brampton urban development area and Heritage Heights Secondary Plan Area 52 and 53; therefore the 1 paragraph of Item 1.0 (Introduction) should be corrected as above.

    2. The City of Brampton Terms of Reference for Functional Servicing Report should be included in Item 2 (Background Information), which can be found in the City of Brampton Subdivision Design Manual.

    3. Asummary of the North West Brampton Heritage Heights sub-watershed findingsreportshould be included in background information.

    4. The post development drainage area shown on Fig 4 refers to 43.43 ha while the existing drainage area is 44.30 ha. Therefore, indicate on the drainage area planthe portion of the drainage area that is not included in the drainage system.

    5. The proposed drainage boundaries should be shown on Drawing No. 2, entitled preliminary Grading and Drainage Plan.

    3. The criteria for using Foundation Drainage System should be added to Item 5 1 1 (Conveyance System).

    8. Major drainage system including direction of flow and water path must be shown on Drawing No. 2. and on the same drawing, the drainage area in hectare and coefficient of runoff must be indicated.

    9. The drainage from 1.88 ha development area will be conveyed directly to the adjacent watercourse via a proposed bioswale and wetland feature without quantity control measures, which is not acceptable. Therefore please include

  • F5-31

    flooding and erosion control measures to protect the bioswales from damages during flood event.

    10.Show on SWM Pond figures the spillway details including water levels, free board and discharge route.

    11.Please include in the report confirmation that the discharge from SWM Pond will not adversely affect downstream properties and receiving watercourses, including flooding and erosion impacts.

    12. Please include a copy of latest draft plan in your next submission.

    13.Please include a digital copy in CD format for the FSR and EIR as required for our records.

    14. Please add the following statement in the Functional Servicing Report:

    • The FSR complies with the latest subdivision design manual • The FSR complies with the recommendations and constraint set out in the EIR • The drainage of the adjacent lands will not be adversely affected

    15.Please submit digital copies of SWMHYMO input and output files to facilitate a thorough review.

    16. Please revise the FSR to clearly outline site specific water balance and feature based water balance requirements for the proposed development. Relevant information may be available from the Terraprobe report.

    17.As stated in Page 10, the proposed SWM plan considers the future development of external lands located north of the subject site. Please clarify if the ultimate outlet structure of the SWM ponds needs to be revised for the interim condition before the external areas are developed.

    18.As shown on Figure 3, external areas to the north currently discharge to the subject site. Based on Figure 4, two DICBs are proposed, located west of the existing water courses and immediately north of the subject site. Drawing 2 shows that the temporary swales are proposed to divert external storm runoff to the DICBs. Please provide preliminary sizing calculations and grading design for the temporary swales.

    19. RDCs and FDCs are proposed to direct clean storm runoff to the creek.

    i. Please clarify if the proposed RDCs and FDCs convey only minor flows to the creek, and also if major flows from these areas are collected and controlled by the pond.

  • F5- HO ^ ii. Please show that the overall target rates are not exceeded with the

    uncontrolled RDCs and FDCs flows, iii. If possible, please incorporate a flow splitter so thatexcess storm runoff can

    overflow to the storm sewer system and eventually can be collected by the proposed SWM ponds for quantity controls,

    iv. Please provide details on howdrainage to the RDCs and FDCs are determined and how the RDCs and FDCs are sized.

    20.Figure 3 and Figure 4 show the existing and postdevelopment drainage plans, respectively. Please provide a table showing the breakdown of areas to CRT 5, CRT 4B and CRT 4A for the existing and post development conditions. If possible, please showthe drainage areas for the subject site, the external area owned by the proponent and external areas further to the north.

    21.Page 14 of the FSR states that approximately 1.88 ha located east of CRT 5 cannot be collected by the eastern SWM pond. It is proposed to convey this drainage through a bio swale. Please provide sizing calculations for the bio swale. In addition, please revise the SWMHYMO model to model this area as uncontrolled drainage. The proposed SWM pond may need to be oversized so thatthe overall target rates are not exceeded.

    22.Page 52 states that the proposed SWM ponds will provide controls of post development flows to pre development levels for storms up to the Regional event.

    i. Please clarify why Regional flow controls are required for the proposed SWM ponds,

    ii. Based on the FSR, Regional flow control is only provided for the eastern SWM pond instead of both SWM ponds. Please clarify,

    iii. Page 20 states that the Regional storm event is based on the 48-hour distribution. Please also verify the pond size using the 12 hour Hurricane Hazel storm with the AMCIII condition.

    23. Please note that sub-catchment 909 assumed by Schroeter (31.4 ha) is essentially the drainage to CRT 4A. Based on Figure 3, 18.7 ha of drainage discharges to the Credit River through CRT 4B ratherthan CRT 5. Please clarify.

    24.As the eastern pond will discharge to CRT 5, please calculate the target release rates using the existing area to CRT 5. As noticed, 1.92 ha of CRT 5 will not be collected and treated by the proposed pond (Figure 4), so please exclude this area from calculations. As a result, the target rate for the eastern pond should be calculated based on 53.28 ha (i.e., 42.9 ha + 12.3 ha-1.92 ha =53.282 ha) instead of 64.78 ha.

    25.The proposed western SWM pond will discharge storm runoff to CRT4A. Based on Figure 4, CRT 4A has an area of 2.6 ha that cannot be controlled by the SWM pond. Therefore, the target release rate for the western SWM pond should be calculated based on 27.3 ha (16.6 ha+13.3ha-2.6 ha). Please clarify.

    Dear Mr. Bailey,

    Development Engineering staff have reviewed the revised Functional Servicing Reportdated January 2014, prepared for Four X Development Inc., submitted by Rand Engineering and provide the following:

    Sanitary Sewer Existing sanitary sewer consists of a 1200mm diameter trunk sewer located on Mississauga Road. A 525mm diameter sanitary stub has been preinstalled at the intersection of Mississauga Road and Beacon Hill Drive to service the proposed development.

    Due to requirement of dual sanitary sewer system, large storm sewer, watermain and potentially requirement for RDC/FDC sewers along street 10' and especially 'Street 12' the proposed right-of-way widths need to be increased to allow proper offsets between the proposed infrastructures.

    Watermain . . The proposed subdivision is located at the top of Pressure Zone 5 (PZ5). Existing PZ5 services consist of a 750mm diameter watermain located on Mississauga Road, a 300mm diameter watermain located on Adamsville Road and 200mm diameter watermains located on Balin and Black Diamond Crescents. Two 300mm diameter watermain stubs were preinstalled to the west side of Mississauga Road off 750mm diameter watermain.

    The water servicing plan included in the report is generally acceptable. The final alignment of the pressure zone boundary will require further discussion and analysis. Some streets may require dual mains in order to loop the system properly.

    Storm Sewer

    Under item 5.2 Minor and Major Drainage System, page 14 of the Report indicates that storm water from existing Mississauga Road right-of-way is provided by the existing SWM Pond located on the east side of Mississauga Road. This is true; however, the report does not take into consideration future increase to ROW width of Mississauga Road by approximately 2.75 meters or 4.5 meters if dual left turn lanes are required. Please revise the report to show future storm drainage from part of Mississauga Road ROW.

    In summary, the Functional Servicing Report is not acceptable, it needs to be revised and resubmitted to the Region of Peel. Should you have any questions, please contact Bob Lipka at (905) 791-7800 extension 5071.

    Associated File: OZ10-5W7.4B

    Dear Mr. Aldunate,

    Region staff have reviewed the above noted application and provide the following:

    Region of Peel Development Services - Planning

    After review of Schedule C of the ROP and Schedule F of the City of Brampton's Official Plan, Regional staff noted that the development proposal appears to be within the limits of the Northwest Brampton Policy Area. Further to discussions with City of Brampton Planning staff, Regional Planning staff have been advised that Citystaff believe that a mapping error was made in preparing Schedule F, that the limits of the NWBPA shown on Schedule F are incorrect and that and the proposed development should be entirely outside of the NWBPA, if it had been correctly delineated.

    Regional staff have since reviewed the Minutes of Settlement relating to Peel ROPA 15 and Brampton OPA 93-245, dated August 11, 2006, which were agreed to by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs, the Region of Peel and the City of Brampton. These Minutes of Settlement were the basis for the OMB approval of the NWBPA policy framework and were the origin of the mapped limits of the NWBPA, then shown on Schedule D to the Minutes of Settlement and now shown on Schedule F to the City's Official Plan. It appears to Regional staff that there is indeed a mapping inconsistency in the attachments to those Minutes of Settlement.

    Schedule A to OPA93-245 in the Minutes of Settlement shows the above noted property designated as "Estate Residential Area", and clearly indicates that it was inside the Urban Boundary as it existed prior to ROPA 15. As the NWBPA was only intended to apply to lands that were west of Mississauga Road and within the urban expansion area added by ROPA 15, these lands should not have been included within the NWBPA limits shown on Schedule D to the

    Minutes of Settlement (now shown on Schedule F to the City's Official Plan). While these lands are the subject of the "Special Study Area' hatching that is shown on Schedule A to the Minutes of Settlement, this "Special Study Area" hatching related to the future "Corridor Protection Area'

    which is the subject of other City and Regional planning initiatives that are ongoing, and these lands are not within the area that has been identified for corridor protection.

    Further to the above, Regional staff suggest that the Region and the City coordinate on providing this information to the Province, as they were also a party to these Minutes of Settlement. Since all three parties agreed in 2006 with this mapping, we think it right that all three parties should have the opportunity to review this mapping inconsistency and determine if they agree that an error was made in the mapping attached to the Minutes of Settlement. We expect that it will not take long for the MMAH staff to reach the same conclusion that the City and Regional staff have reached and are of the opinion that this can b
