w,tr;&k4 ADMINISTRATION REPORT

TO: Helen Dietz, Mayor & CouncilF'ROM: Patricia ShewchukDATE: July 07 2008SUBJECT: Appointment of K Burns - Drinking Establishment Appeal Committee

On July 04 2008 a copy of Kevin Bums "open letter to Sylvan Lake Council" (email) datedMay 23 2008 was forwarded to Reynolds Mirth Richards & Farmer LLP for an opinion on bias andcorunents on Council potentially appointing Kevin Bums to the Drinking Establishment AppealCommittee.

Bill Barclay of RMRF reviewed the letter and provided the following comments:

r Kevin Bums' "open letter to Sylvan Lake Council" (via email May 23, 2008) is now a publicdocument

. Ask'hould a reasonable person think Kevin Burns is biased based on tle open letter?"

. A "reasonable apprehension of bias" is a legal standard for disquali$ing judges and

administrative decision maksrs for bias. Bias of the decision maker can be real or merelyperceived. The test is what an informed person, viewing the matter realistically and practically,and having thought the matter tlrough, conclude.

. Kevin Burns may be biased, or he may be just saying the bylaw should be enforced.

. General impression: Given the content in the letter, could he be challenged? Definitely yes.

TOWN OF SYLVAN LAKEA Town For All Seasons

July 2, 2008

Mr. Bart DyrlandSylvan Lake Nauticals Swim ClubPO Box 9125Sylvan Lake, AB T4S 1SB

Dear Bart,

Itwas a pleasure meeting with you and susanne Arraial last week to discuss the

2008-Og swim season and the Nauticals Swim Club bookings.

As we discussed during the meeting, the Town of sylvan Lake Recreation, Parks

& culture Department is recommending a fee increase for pool rentals for the,

upcoming season. lt was satisfying to agree upon creating a fee specifically forthe Nauticals Swim Club that will be at a reduced rate from other group and

private rentals. The fee being proposed to Town Council for the 2008-09 swim

season is $7.28 / hour per lane, up from the $6.33 / hour per lane that is currently

being paid by the Nauticals Swim Club.

Agreeing to the lane / pool allocation for the upcoming season was important forth-e planning required by both our organizations. Also, the specific details

surrounding the safety and security of utilizing parent volunteers on the deck foritems such as installing and removing the lane ropes and swim blocks will be

clearly identified as part of the Nauticals Swim CIub rental agreement being

created for 2008-09.

The Town has afways been committed to working with the Nauticals swim clubto grow the Club's future as you develop great athletes and great people, and webelieve this was an important step in the process' Thank you.

Administration Report

TO: Municipal Planning Commission

FROM: Planning & Development

DATE: July 10,2008

SUBJECT: Proposed Bylaws 1458/2008 and 1459/2008, Amendments to theLand Use Bylaw 1307/2003 and the Waterfront Area RedevelopmentPlan

lmplementation of tlre Pattern Book for the Town of Sylvan Lake

1.0 Purpose

To present Town of Sylvan Lake Council with amending bylaws to achieve consistency aad implement thePlattern Book in the Land Use Bylaw.

2.0 Background

Town Council adopted the Waterfront Area Redevelopment Plan by bylaw in lday of2006. The purpose oftheWaterfront ARP is to "guide gro*th and development over tho next 20 years within the downtown andwaterfront areas in an orderly, efficien! and beneficial manner." The ARP is a comprehensive document thataddresses a series ofissues including a planning vision, a future development concept, design guidelines, and animplementation sbatery.

Shortly after the adoption of the Waterfront ARP, Town Council commissioned the preparation of a PatternBook to specificblly guide development in the plan area. The purpose of the Pattem Book is to providedevelopers and designers with a resource guide !o use when dealing witlr renovations to existing buildings orwhen considering the consauction of new structures in the Waterfront ARP aroa- The Pattem Book wasadopted by the following resolution of Tow:r Council on Novernber 26, 2007:

WHEREAS Cormcil has been presented with a proposed Pattem Book to establish urbandesigns and architectural styles for the waterfront distict and the document relates to visionand goals in the Lakeshore Area Redevelopment Plan such as fosiering intensity, ensudngbalance, and variable housing t]?es, promotion of walkability tlrough a safe andcomfortable environment and implantation of unique rchitecture,NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that Council adopt the Pattem Book as presented

and FURTHER TTIAT adrninistration review, prepare and present required &aftamendments to the Municipal Plenning Commission for consideration and recommendationprior to presenting amending Bylaws to Council for readiirg.

CARRIED

Council has expressed its confidenc.e in the Patten Book and the Council wants to onsure that tho Pattem Bookis the primary tool used by developers and publio sector agencies when considering renovations, newdevelopment projects, and inprovements to publio spaces. Adherence to the Pattem Book is not intended to be

C;U)ocum€nts and Settingsus€hmidt\Local SgttingE\Temporary lntemet Fi|e9\OLKB5\COUNCIL REPORTARP LUB.docq-ta

voluntary. Adminishation has directed that the necessary amendments to the Waterfront ARP and the Land Use

Bylaw bi drafted rc ensure that all development and redevelopment is consistent with the Pattern Book.

3.0 Discuseion

T\e Mmicipal Govemment Act is the provincial legislation that esiablishes the municipal land use plaming

system in i.tb..tu. th" lct sets out a number of important principles that must bo respected when clrafting

bylaw amendments to achieve ttre Town's objectives. The legislation provides that: ,-. All land use districts must identiry permitted and/or discretionary uses unless the dishict is designated as

a direct control district. [Section 640(2)(b)]. The Council of a municipality that has adopted a municipal development plan, if it wishes to exercise

particglar control over the use and development of land or buildings within an area of the municipality'

may in its land use bylaw designate that area as a direct contol district. [Section 641(1)]. If a direct control tlistrict is disignated in a land use bylaw, the council may, subject to any applicable

statutory plan, regulate and control the use or development of land or buildings in the district in any

manner it considers necessary. [Section 641X2)l. In respect ofa direct control district, the council may decide on a development permit application or may

delegate tne decision to a development authority with directions that it considers appropriate. [Section

641(3)l

The pattem Book provides guidance on all aspects of site development including building t1pes, frontage

standards, the composition of shop fronts, parking la:rdscaping, and architectural pattgrns. !9 land use and

site planning components of the Book fonn an Urban Code which is intended to regulate how all buildings and

sites are aeielopea in the Waterfront Plan Area. The Codo is intended to fi.rnction largely as a land use bylaw

except that is snuctured differently than a baditional zoning-based bylaw. In addition. to tle_ Urban Code, a

series ofarchitectural guidelines are provided in the Book which reflect specific acceptable architectural styles.

Given the complexity of the Pattem Book, it would be exkemely difficult to incorporate all of the planning and

architectural conc"pir ioto t aditional land use districts with permitted and disctetionary uses as contemplated in

Section 640(2Xb) of tJL" A"t. The development ofa project that is consistent with the Pattem Book will require

skilled rlesign professionals and professionil input from the Town's planning staff. Phrased informally' tho

pattern Book ii not a "black and white" document like the land use bylaw and all development proposals willrequire thorough review. This type of development process lends itself to the direct control tool outlined in

Section 641 o{th" A"t. In a direii control dishic! development permits are ultimately issued by Council or the

Couucil may delegate authority to a development authority.

Creation of an Apnropriate Direct Control District

Il consultation with Administration, a draft bylaw has been clraffed to create a Waterfront Direct Control

Disbict. The purpose of the districi is to ensute that land use and development is oonsistent with the Pattern

Book for the Town of Sylvan Lake. The District will not contain specifio permitted and/or discretionary land

uses nor will it contain specific development regulations.

The text of the distict is attached in draft Bylaw 1458/2008. The Distict's purpose is outlined in the text and

the other clauses make it clear that the Pattem Book is intended to provide the development guidelines for all

new development in the District though tho Supplementary Regulations should also be referenced. .

It is proposed that development authority in the Distriot be delegated to the Municipal.Planning Commission.

Staff'aniicipates that there will be a sipificant number of applications that require review as a result of using

the pauem Book. The workload generated by this approaoh to land use regulation would plaoe a sipificant

ClDocuments and Settings$schmldt\Local Seftings\Temporary Intemet F||eS\OLKB5\COUNCIL REPORT ARP LUB. ,"" 4 - fJ

burden on the Council. MPC also has significant experience dealing with land use planning proposals whichwill be beneficial when assuming the role of development authority in the Waterfront District Control District.

If the concept of creating a single direct control district to regulate development in the Waterfront Area isdeemed acceptable, then the property shown on the attached Schedule A that forms paft ofthe proposed bylawneeds to be rezoned to Waterfront Direct Control District (W-DC).

Other Necessarv Amendments

Shmed ParkingSection 3(7) of the Land Use Bylaw contains the provisions that enable shared parking in the WaterftontRedevelopment Plan Area. These amendments were adopted by Town Council in 2007 as a response to theARP but the Pattern Book now contains alternate guidelines for shared parking. It is therefore necessary torepeal Section 3(7) of the Bylaw as well as Schedule 'T," of the Bylaw which provided the map showing theportions of the Waterfront Area where the shared parking rules apply.

Lakeshore Commercial District and Retail and Commercial Senice Dilect Contlol DistrictAl1 of the properties in the Lakeshore Commercial and RCS-DC Distrists are proposed to be "rolled into" thenew Waterfront Direct Control District. Given that there will be no properties located in these districts if theproposed bylaw is adopted, it is appropriate for these districts to be removed from the Land Use Bylaw.

Minor AmendmentsGiven that the Lakeshore Commercial District is being eliminated, reference to the District in Section 6(14)(a)needs to be removed and reference to the Waterfront Direet Control District needs to be added. The purpose ofthese amendments is to ensure that the Town's current approach to regulating drinking establishments applies inflre new district.

A minor change must also be made to Section 2.2(d) of Part Two, Development Permits and Contravention ofthe Bylaw to require that all fencing in the Waterfront Direct Control Dishict be subject to developmentpermits.

Given tlat the exterior appearance of structures is a major consideration in the Waterfiont Area, an amendmentmust also be made to Section 2-2 of Part Two to requhe approved development permits for all exteriormodifications to buildings in the Plan Area. This amendment is necessary to ensure that all repair and

renovation to existing buildings is consistent with the Pattem Book.

Consequential Amendments to the Waterfront Area RedeveloDment Plan

Policy 4.2.6 - Street-Oriented Row HousingThere is an inconsistency between Policy 4.2.6 ofthe ARP which encourages worlc/live accommodation and thePattem Book which requires live/work frontage for the property that is immediately to the south of CentennialPark. It is recommended that Policy 4.2.6 be amended so that it is consistent with the Paftem Book

Policy 4.5.3 - Pmking StandardsPolicy 4.5.3 of the ARP calls for amendments to the Land Use Bylaw to allow up to 500/o of required on-siteparking to be provided either off-site or by cash-in-lieu. The Patlem Book takes a different approach to parkingand it is therefore recommended that this provision of the ARP be repealed. In 2008 a public parking strategzwill commence.

council previously approved design rcgulations contained withjn Section 5'0 of the ARP. The Pattern Book

** *ritt"r, u, o i".poo." to the Lea i.edevelopment Plan and it is intended to implement the many policies

contained within the document. Adoption of the Pattem Book by the Town sets out the community's land use'

more specifrc urban design and architectural expectations for development in the Waterfront Plan Area. The

?attem'Book provicles significantly more detail on the various design elements that form urban spaces such as

building typeJand building design, landscaping, parking and materials'

portions of Section 5 cannot remain part of the ARP if the Pattem Book is to be used as the prirnary design

goia"tin", for the ?lan Area. There aire a number of specific conflicts between the ARP and the Pattem Book'

it i, i.po.t*t tlrut there be no conflicts between the rlRP and the Pattem Book so that tlle Town is providing

clear direction to the development community on what forms of development are expected in the Plan Area'

portions requiring amendment include Sec 5.2.1 Waterfront Commercial development regulations, 5.2.3 West

Viifrg" a"""fop.'*t regulations, 5.2.4 Downtown Core Development regulations.and. 5.2 5.Centennial Park

villaie oevelopment Rigulations. In place of the development regulations, a policy indicating development

,."guliion, shail be in geireral accordance with the Town of Sylvan Lake Pattern Booh which is much more

spicific and clear in deiigr regulations. The amendment to development regulations will make consistent the

rug *a ARP. Future amendments may be required. There are no proposed changes pertaining to the North

Side of Lakeshore Drive.

"'Q - le

Should further discussion be held regarding the delegation ofthe approving authority to MPC, the followinggeneral information may be considered:

e In rendering any decision, the development authority is bound by ttre land use policies, developmentregulations, provisions of the land use bylaw and any statuiory plan.

. In following the rule that all boards, committees, staff are to follow tlle rule of Councils adopted bylawand policy and Council is the only one that has tlte power to make the rules, Council may choose todelegate the approving authority in a DC district.

. For the Proposed Waterfront Direct Control District, a design document (Pattem Book) has been

developed and adopted by Council to ensure specific guidelines are met.

o Regardless of dre Development Authority, whether it's Council or the MPC chosen to approve

development within the geographic area affected by the plans, consideration and adherence to that plan

must be maintained. Council, should they choose to amend the plans, are the only body that may do so.

o Regardless of the membership ofthe development authority, all are bourd to the policy, bylaw adopted

by Council.

o It is anticipated that sigrificant time and consideration will be taken by the development authority forall development applications. In addition, due to the ongoing number of development applications and

continued interest in the development ofthe lakeshore areas, it is anticipated a high volume ofapplications will be forwarded for consideration.

. Should Council choose to maintain development approving authority for the Waterfront Direct ControlDistrict, it is recommended that the MPC remain as recommending body for development applicationsprior to proce€ding to Council.

Services Fee Bylaw

1.0 PURPOSE

To provide Council with a request for decision regarding a proposed amendment to theSafety Codes Service Fee Bylaw #143412007.

2.0 BACKGROUND

Council, at their Regular Meeiing of June 9th, 2008 gave this proposed bylaw firstreading: Staff had conducted reviews of development and development related feebylaws and it was noted that some revisions were required to the Safety CodesServices Fee Bylaw. Some of the highlights were as follows:

Buildinq Permit Fee Schedule

r The word 'Modular Homes'was replaced with 'Manufactured Homes';r Basement Development was added with a flat fee of $125.00 as the

previous rate of $5.00 per $1,000 of project value was excessive;

Electrical Permit Fee Schedule for Other Than New Residentiallnstallations

. The original sheet was deleted from the bylaw and a new one inserted(the installation costs only included dollar values to $38,000.00). Due tothe scope of various developments in Town such as District ShoppingCentres, a higher dollar value up to $1,000,000.00 is required;

. This form is required by the Town due to recent accreditation in the gasdisciPline.

z:\Bytaws\Bylaw 1470-2008 Amend Safety Codes Servlces Bylaw\Request for Decision 2nd and thhd readings.doc t3'

Minimum Gonstruction Value Factors

o under Residential Housing 'basement development' has been deleted

and is now contained as a flat fee in the Building Permit Fee Schedule as

noted above.

3.0 DtscussloN

An annual review of building costs was undertaken by staff (four larger home builders

were contacted) and accoidingly it was noted that the costs per square foot for

variaOte types of developmenivaried between 2007 and 2008. The construction

market has fluctuated; a decrease in costs should be considered. Therefore' staff is

Sfatrisflcs and Land Use

A summary of proposed Area B land Use amendments is as follows:

. Reduction of Light Industrial (11) from 6.0 Ha to 2.2 Ha.o lmplementation of 4.0 Ha of Narrow Lot (single family) Residential (R5).. Reduction of Low Density Residential (R1) by 2.0 Ha.r Increase of High Density Residential (R3) by 1.7 Ha.

In review of the summary proposed land use amendment(s), statistical data was compiled(Table 2- Proposed Amendment to Hewlett Park Outline Plan Land Use and Populationstatistics) and reviewed for compliance with maximum densities for the Plan area as per thecurrent Municipal development Plan (MDP). As per the MDP, maximum densities for this areaare 40 persons per gross hectare and maximum unit count of 16 units per gross hectare.

The gross density of Hewlett Park, inclusive of proposed amendments to AREA B falls withinthe maximum allowable:

Total Area: 92.93 HaGross Density of 30.1 Persons/ha (max 40 pph)Gross Units per Hectare 1 1 .28 (max 16 units/Ha)

Table 2 of the application also identifies statistics and population inclusive of proposed changesin Area B. 2004 Town of Sylvan Lake Municipal Census data was used in determining the LandUse and Population Statistics. Gross Density of proposed Hewlett Park Plan is identified as 2.3persons/HH for Multi Family (R3) and 2.9 persons/HH for single family housing, resulting in30.1 persons/ gross ha. At full build out, the area could accommodate up to 1048 units orapproximately 2795 persons. Resulting student generation indicates an assumed 42 studentincrease over the current.

Traffic

A Traffic lmpact Assessment was completed by EXH Engineering, in accordance with the Townof Sylvan Lake Traffic lmBact Assessment Policy for the subject lands (Area B), studyingvarious roadways and intersections through out and adjacent to the plan area.

The report was well prepared with sufficient information and details for review. The trip generationrates used in the report are adequate for the residential and commercial components. The tripdistribution rates also appeared fine, considering the relatively low overall volumes involved with the

1.

t

Z:\Bylaws\Bylaw 1473-2008 Hewlett Park Afea B LUB\Request for Decsion for lst reading.doc ts

proposed develbpments. The resulting land use density is identified at 30.1 persons/Ha, and

considered acceptable as it is considerably lower than the 40 person/ha outlined in thb cunent MDP.

The traffic impact of this development alone will be minimal in the near future and can be

accommodated by the current tiansportation infrastructure in the area and that the Hwy 20 & 47 Ave

intersection will operate adequate with the impending signalization of that intersection. Multipleintersections, including that of Hwy 20 and Herder are scheduled to receive traffic signals during the

2008 construction season.

Infrastructure Engineering review indicate that a secondary emergency access must be provided to

Area B in accordance with Town of Sylvan Lake standards.

Water/Sanitarv/Storm

Preliminary review of the infrastructure components of the application received review and resulted in

one initial concern regardin$ Storm Water Management.

The revised Outline Plan identifies the relocation of the PUL (dfainage ditch) from its current location

through Area B to the current Light industrial district along the east boundary. The existing ditch is a

component of the current approved storm water Management Plan for this development.

It was required by the Town Engineers, that the developer provide an adequate storm water plan to

ensure ali revisions do not havean adverse effect on the overall Storm Water management of theplan area.

P u b I i c M e etinq/Refe rral

Post 2 consecutive weeks advertising in the local Sylvan Lake News, a Public open House was

held at the Town office on June 4", 2OOB from 5:30pm to 8:00pm. Twelve (12) people attended

the meeting, resulting in two (2) written submissions.

Concerns registered included those in relating to noise from existing Light Industrial use,

transitioning from on" building type to another i.e. aesthetics, capacity of roads and

infrastructure. Other general comments included support for replacing Industrial with residential

lands, concerns aboul the quality of soil or fill, inquiries as to when the lots are to be available

to builders and a concem that the current 40km speed limit is too low.

(Please see attached Public Open House Summary Report)

4.0 SUMMARY

Post presentation to the municipal planning commission, town engineering received satisfactoryinformation pertaining to storm water management and secondary access. Prior to submissionof the Outline Plan Amendment and subsequent amending bylaws, Town Engineers have

confirmed acceptance of the plan.

3.0 SUMMATION

Wih regard to noise from the Light Industrial area it was indjcated at the open house that thesenoises relate to existing uses within the 11 area of the approved Hewlett park outline plan. Theapplication to amend the Outine Plan proposes to reduce the amount of land for Light lndustrial usesand to provide residential, more compatible with tfre existjng rcsidences south of tri amendmentarea, in theh place. This change in land use was supported by others in attendance.

with regard to the aesfretic between the areas proposed for 11 and RS land uses, the proposedamendment retains the Public Facility Dishict lands between the proposed Light IndusbiaiandResidential uses. These lands will provide physical and visually separation bltween tirese land uses.

Responses provided to address concerns related to taffic generation from the proposed increase toresidential land uses were based or the Trafic lmpact Assessment (TlA) prepared by EXHEngineering for Amendment Area B. lt was found that that there will'be an acceptable level ofservice provided by the propmed roadway network once the area is built out, given the following:

I The intersection of Highiaay 20 / Herder Drive will requhe traffic signals (it is expected that aset of pedestrian signals would be installed first, follow by a full set of traffic ligh'ts), and

. The intersection of 47 Avenue / Herder Drive will be signalized in the future.

stormwater within he amendment area will be controlled in accordance with the sbrmwatermanagement plan developed for the amendment area by EXH Engineering and has been reviewedby the Town of Sylvan Lake.

The capacity ofthe Town of sylvan Lake to maintain and repair existing and proposed infrastructure,assurances that proper fll materials are used in the development of he amendment area, and theexisting speed limits within the Town of Sylvan Lake are operational issues that cannot be addressedthrough the applications to amend the Ou{ine plan or to rezone the lands in Area B.

National Raifway Right of way, refer to secfion 7.0 - Buffeing. Amendment Area B comprises

16.9 hectares (41.8 acres), or 18.2% of the total Outline Plan area

within Amendment Area B, land designated for Light Industrial use would be reduced from 6 0

hectares (14.8 acres) to 2.2 hectares (5.4 aues). Remaining Light lndustial land constitutes the

land already developed as Lrghf lndustn'at Districf (11), west of Erickson Drive. In Amendment Area

B, 4.0 hectares (9.9 acres) of Nanow Lot General Residential land use will be infuoduced. The

balance ofthe land in AmendmeniArea B is cunently designated as Low Density Residential, High

Density Residential and Public Facility uses. This amendment decreases land dedicated as Low

Density Residential use from 21.7 hectares (53.6 acres) by 2.0 hectares (4,9 acres) to 19.7

hectares (48.7 acres), and increases High Density Residential use from 9.9 hectares (24'5 acres)

by 1.7 hectares (4.2 acres) to 11.6 hectares (28.7 acres). Residentialuse areas, roads, and Public

Facility uses will be reconfigured from the approved Outline Plan to create a more efficient land use

paftem. An application to rezone he lands wihin Amendment Area B to the appropriate Land Use

4.0 Rationale

This amendment conforms to the Tovn of Sylvan Lake Municipal Developnenf Plan (MDP) (Bylaw

No. 111 1/96, amended March, 2003). Sectlon 1.1 ol lhe Land lJse and Development Section of

the MDP states:

"The pfincipal residential grovrth ams will be Hewlett Park, Fox Run and nofth of he golf

course, Ihere is sufficient land in these areas and Pierview Estates to acconmodateapproximately 1,825 dwellings with a population of some 5,000 to 6,000 people at

densities comparable to the existing town."

The additional residential land uses proposed by this amendment are in accordance with this policy

direction. Proposed land use changes in Amendment Area B are compatible with existing

surrounding land uses, Furthermore, the natural amenity of Sylvan Lake is within walking distance

(appmximately 400 meters) of tlre 0utline Plan area, making the Oufline Plan area a desirable

location for higher density residential development.

5.0 Policy Gompliance

The lown of Syluan Lake MDP specifes objectives and plicies pertaining to the groMh and

development of Sylvan Lake. Listed below are relevant obiectives and policies fom the Land Use

and Development and Urban Infnstructure sections of tre MDP. This amendment conforms to the

objectives and policies ofthe MDP, as described below,

the creation of an interconnected open space netlvork, linking to the regional trail system.

Additional Public Facility land provides enhanced recreational opportunities for cunent and fufure

residenb ofthe Outline Plan area.

Sylvan Lake is approximately 400 meters north ofthe Oufline Plan area, across the Canadiao

National Railway Right of Way,

7,0 Buffering

Proposed residential development in Amendment Area B will be setback from the Canadian

National Railway Rightof Wayby30 metres. A20 metre strip of open space is also pruvided t0

buffer proposed resldential land uses from existing Light Industrial land uses in Amendment Area

B. Adjacent residential development and open space to the amendment area provides appropriate

land use interfacino.

one side of local roads and on bo$ sides of collector roads. CN Rail will not permit a vehicular or

pedestrian orossing at Hagerman Road and 39 Strcet. Total land dedicated to roads and lanes in

the Outline Plan area will be 17.8 hectares (44.0 acres), which is a decrease in 0.5 hectares (1.2

acres) from he approved Outline Plan.

A Traffic lmpact Assessment (TlA) was prepared by EXH Engineering Services Ltd. for

Amendment Area B. The TIA considered the estimated bafflc impact of Amendment Area A being

tully built-out, as per the TIA prepared by D.A. Watt Consulting for Amendment Area A. The TIA

for AmendmentArea B concluded that:

"The intersection of Highway 20 & Herder Drive requires the construction of a dedicated

right-turn lane onto Herder Drive for 2007 backgrcund tnffic conditions (rcgardless of

TO: Helen DieE, Mayor & CouncilFROM: Dennis Krill, Director of Protective ServicesDATE: July 3, 2008SUBJEGT: Heavy Vehicles on Lakeshore Drive

1.0 PURPOSE

A follow up to Council Committee meeting of June 23, 2008 regarding heavy vehicles on Lakeshore Drive.

2.0 BACKGROUND

Lakeshore Drive was taken over by the Town as of March 18, 2008. There are plans for area redevelopment allalong Lakeshore in particular Centbnnial Park area, between 40rh Street and 46s Sfeet where the plan is todivert the traffic to the South of the park. lt has always been a concern of our Department that heavy vehicleswould travel this route with no destination in mind other than driving down Lakeshore Drive. By removing themthe safety of the pedestrians wouldn't be compromised.

3.0 DISCUSSION

There are legitimate heavy vehicles traveling this route to carry out deliveries in the downtown area and the intentof the amendment is not to hinder their process. There are certainly alternatives available to them. The removalof heavy trucks would be from Hryy 20 on Lakeshore Drive to 50' Street. They still would be allowed to travelwest on Lakeshore Drive from 50'Street.

Recommended travel would be Hwy 20, 50m Street and 6oth Sfeet. Should there be a requirement for travelanywhere else permits are available through the Protective Services office.

A heavy vehicle is defined in Bylaw 1319/2004 as:two axles6 meters in lengthA gross weight of 5500 kllograms

Schedule 'B' of our Bylaw currently alludes to the truck route as being:4f Avenueirom Hwy 26 west to 50e StreetLekeshorc Drive500 street5f Avenue from 50r sfreet wesf5{ Street from Lakeshore Drive to 50h Avenue

By amending the Bylawwe would be removing Lakeshore Drive from Schedule "B".

4.0 FINANCIAL

There would be a cost associated to additional signs to alert the public to the changes.

5.0 ALTERNATIVES

l.l

6.0 SUMMARY

This matter has been to Operational Services and Council Committee meeting. Should the amendment bepassed by Council additional signage would be placed on Lakeshore Drive along with key information inserted in

the Town's web page and the local newspaper.

7.0 STAFFRECOMMENDATION

That Mayor and Council endorse the amendment to Schedule "8" of the Traffic Bylaw removing Lakeshore Drive

as a heavy vehicle route.

6j/,h@ke ADMINISTRATION REPORT

TO: Helen Diets, Mayor & CouncilFROM: Dennis Krill, Director of Protective ServicesDATE: July 4, 2008SUBJECT: Additional Resources - RCMP 2008/2009

I.O PURPOSE

To update Mayor and Council on a request for an additional RCMP resource for 2008/2009.

2.O BACKGROUND

In March 2008, the Premier of Alberta lead an initiative for adding 300 Police Officers over the next three yearswith 100 of those being allocated in 2008/2009. Municipalities were encouraged to apply to this initiative for aposition that would be funded by the Province to a maximum of $'100,000 per year.

Based on the information we generated correspondence to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Client Servicesin Edmonton asking to be considered for one of these resources offered through the Province.

On June 24, 2008 correspondence was received from the Alberta Solicitor General and Public Security indicatingthat we were receiving one of these positions for 2008/2009 and that the General and Public Security Divisionwould provide our municipality with up to $100,000 per police member position pro-rated dependent on their dateof hire in accordance with the Govemment of Alberta's flscal year 2008i2009 (April 1 , 2008 to March 31, 2009).

The Detachment presently has a full complement of 13 resources which includes the two additional budgeted forthis year. The addition of one more will place us at 14and probably will equate to our 800 to 1 ratio with lhe newcensus numbers.

3.0 DtscussloN

4.0 FINANCIAL

The cost for an RCMP Member is $122,243 with the municipality responsible for 70% which equates to $85,570.The cost for this additional resource will be covered by the Province through the policing initiative.

5.0 ALTERNATIVES

6.0 SUMMARY

This initiative is great news for the Town as there is no budget application for this position. The position can befilled as soon as the resource is available.

WREQUEST FOR DECISION

TO: Helen Diets, MaYor & CouncilFROM: Ron Lebsack, Director of Recreation, Parks & CultureDATE: June 4,2008SUBJEGT: Aquatic Centre Fee Bylaw #146712008

1.0 PURPOSETo create a specific rental fee for the Sylvan Lake Nauticals Swim Club, and include the Nauticals

fees into the current amending Bylaw #1467/2008'

2.0 BACKGROUNDThe Town of Sylvan Lake Recreation, Parks & Culture Department is constantly revamping existing

programs / courses and adding new programs / courses to meet the needs and wishes of the

corimunity. The proposed fee slhedule also recommends converting some fees from a class based

fee to a time based iee to allow the aquatic staff to adapt programs to specific groups and requests

without amending the fee bylaw each time

The RPG DeDartment also recommends removing the "youth" category from the drop-in fees. The

existing fee schedule includes a child (4-7 yrs), a youth (8-'l1 yrs), and a student (12-17 yrs) category'

which is more breakdown into age categories than necessary. The proposed student category would

include ages B-17, as anyon" E years and older can enter public swim without an accompanying

adult. All-patrons aged 7 -and

undir must be accompanied by an adult for supervision, which is why

the RpC bepartment proposes 7 & under be grouped into the child category and receive a lower

admission fee.

Following first reading of the Aquatic Centre Fee Bylaw #1467l2QO8 by Council on Jun,e 9, 2008 the

RpC Def,artment disiributed the proposed fees to the Sylvan Lake Nauticals Swim Club. RPC staff

and two members of the Nauticais Swim CtuO Board of Directors then met in late June to discuss the

proposed increase in Aquatic Centre fees and some operational aspects between the swim club and

the Aquatic Centre staff. The meeting resulted in a recommendation to establish a separate rental

fee foi the Nauticals Swim Club, based on the Nauticals providing some operational support to

Aquatic Centre staff by installing lane ropes and other items. The fee discussion revolved around the

Nauticals Swim Club lieeping thL individual participant registration fees within a reasonable limited,

while still fulfilling their requiiement to employ a top-notch, well respected coach for the Club or risk

toslng upper-miiale level and high tevel swimmers to the Red Deer swim club. The recommended

fee f5r the 2OOB-09 swim season is proposed at$7.28 Ihour per lane, up from $6.33 / hour per lane

that is currently being charged. The meeting also resulted in a few minor operational changes that will

assist both the Aquatic Centre and the Nauticals on a daily basis'

3.0 DtscussloNThe Recreation, parks & Cuhure Department staff developed a cost analysis for each new program

being proposed to determine a proposed fee for the lesson / program. In addition, staff made

com;arisons with other communities to validate the proposed fees. The following is a list of proposed

fee changes / additions for the Aquatic Centre:

W Request For Decision

TO: CAO, Mayorand CouncilFROM: Operations DepartmentDATE: July 9,2008SUBJECT: SL197, Water Supply System - Upper Zone Expansion

Road Crossing into Beacon Hill

1.0 PurposeTo request award of contract for Installation of water main crossing of 50th Street to Beacon Hill.

2.0 BackgroundAs part of the 2007 Capital works program, a new water distribution pumphouse and feeder mainwere to be installed to service the newly-developing Beacon Hill area, as well as others around thehighest land cunently in the town. The principal components ofthe system have been constructedwith thb exception of a road crossing beneath 50'n Street. This portion was delayed for final routeselection with the developer and could not be completed in 2007.

3.0 DiscussionOur engineer has designed the work, called for tenders and presented a letter of recommendation foraward of a contract for the work. A copy of the correspondence is attached for reference.

Two companies attended a site meeting and both submitted bids for the work. lt is recommended thata contract be awarded to Pidherney's of Rocky Mountain House, as the low bidder. The work will takeapproximately one week to complete and can be done by the end of August, 2008.

4,0 Financial lmplicationsFunding for this project comes mostly from the water off-sites reserve, using monies collected fromdevelopments specifically for the purpose of system expansion, with additional paymeni from theBeacon Hill development for extra costs due to increased pipe material and fittings used toaccommodate their selected route. At the time of original contract award to Gabriel Construction, theexpected budget amount was adjusted to $1 ,909,915.00. The projected final cost for that work is

approx.$ 1 ,895,205.00. For the additional funds to complete the road crossing to connect to BeaconHill, approval is requested to make the payment from the increasing balance in the water off-sitereserve. This will be compensated for by deposit of the extra payment to be made by Beacon Hill.

5,0 RecommendationIt is respectfully requested that Council award a contract, for Water Supply System - Upper ZoneExpansion, Road Crossing into Beacon Hill at the tendered total price of $139,537.86 including10% contingency and 5% GST, to M. Pidherney's Trucking Ltd.

2. Clarity for MuniciPalities

The Land-use Framework is intended to providemuch needed vision about future land use inAlberta.Municipalities will implement the vision throughtheir lo'cal plans and'day to day planning decisions.

assist in ensuring that Provincial direction isimplemented in the most timely and effective waypossible:

. interface between the Province's Municipal Affairs Ministry andSustainable Resource Development M inistry

. role of compensation to private land owners

. roles and processes between the Province and municipalities(e.g. role of municipal sustainability plans, process andimflications of appeals of municipal plans, etc.).

Dear Helen Dietz,

I am pleased to r*rite you today to ask you to join me in a very importantundertaking: improving the health of Canadians and our envirorunent byridding Canada of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDES).

These chemicals, long used as additive flame retardants in furniture,textiles, television sets and more, have been found to be increasinglyaccumulating in fish, food, household dust, and human breast milk.

'A growing number of top scientists have confirmed the risks and harm to

the human reproductive, endocrine, immune and nervous s]stems related

to prolonged exposure to PBDEs. Infants, children, breastfeedingmothers as well as workers in the information technology, textile and

fumiture manufacturing fields are particularly at risk.

PBDE levels are also growing rapidly in Canada's coastal madne waters

and other areas in the environment. In the case of the endangered

southem resident killer whale, levels of PBDE contaminants are

expected to exceed those of already bamed PCBs (polychlorinatedbiphenyls) by 2020.

While PBDEs have been classified as toxic under the CanadianEnvironmental Protection Act since 2006, the federal govemment has

only proposed regulations banning the two less commonly used

commercial mixtures of PBDEs: PentaBDE and OctaBDE. The thirdmixture, DecaElDE, the one most widely used in the manufacturing ofhousehold electronics, fumiture, and textiles is not included in the ban.

Canada is lagging behind Europe and maly US states with regards tolegislation banning PBDEs from use, manufacture, sale or importation'The sma1l steps the federal government has taken ailows the continueduse and imporl of the DecaBDE mixture, which has been shown to breakdown into precisely the PBDEs that the federal govemment is proposing

to ban.

I have tabled a motion seeking to ban the production and import ofproducts containing additive PBDES. ot

Dear Mayor or Chief Administrative Officer:

Rel Urgent request for submissions to save universal, public postal service

I am writing to let you know that the federal government is conducting a very quick and

potentially damaging review of our public post office called the Canada Post Corporation

Strategic Review.

The review is looking at fundamenta-l questions such as should our public post office

continue to have an exclusive privilege to handle letters so that it has the money to

provide universal service, or should the letter market be open to competition. That is, it islooking at deregulation.

CUPW is very concerned that the government's review includes an examination ofderegulation. You may be interested to know that postal deregulation in othel countries

has led to post office closures, less service, fewerjobs and higher postal rates for the

public and small businesses.

The union is also concemed that the govemment is not holding public hearings as pafi ofits review. It is simply asking individuals and groups to make submissions by September

2,2009.

- The fact tlat the government is not holding public hearings and is proceeding at a

brealneck pace with its review suggests that it is not really interested in hearing from the

real owners of the post offlce - the public. We want to make sure that the views of the

public and public interest groups are considered. Therefore, we would like municipalities

to consider passing the enclosed lesolution and writing a letter or submission to the

Canada Post Corporation Strategic Review. You can get basic infornation about making

a submission from the enclosed fact sheet cailed Submissions to sate universal, publicpostal service and additional information from the other enclosures.

If you decide to write a letter or submission, please do not forget to teil the Canada Post

Corporation Strategic Review how you use our public post office. If private sector mailproviders do not service your cornmunity, make sure you tell the review this as weil' Youmay also wish to point out that it will be difficult for Canada Post to improve public

postal service if the govemment erodes or eliminates the mechanism that funds this

service (i.e. the exclusive privilege). Please don't forget to send us a copy of any letter or

submission you write.

Submissions to save universal 1fipublic postal seruiceThe federal government is reviewing our post office for the first time in 12 years. lt has asked an

advisory panel to conduct this inquiry which it is calling the Ganada Post Gorporation Strategic

Review (ieCSR). The panel has a very broad and scary mandate. The Canadian Union of Postal

Workers (GUpW) is asking the public, community groups, small businesses and others to consider

making submissions to the CPCSR in suppod of universal pubic postal service. A submission can

be shJrt or long. lt can be a letter. This fact sheet provides suggestions for making submissions

and highlights a few areas of concern'

Some points you may wish to cover:

he government's strategic review will look at

a very basic and important issue: ShouldCanada Post continue to have an exclusive

piivitege to handle addressed letters or should the

letter rnarket be open to competition?Providing Canada Post with an exclusive

privilege to handle addressed letters is a form ofregulation. Reducing or elininating this privilege isderegulation.

Regulations exist for reasons. Canada Post has

an exclusive privilege to handle letters so that it is

able to generate enough money to provide affordablepostal service to everyone, no matter where they livein our huge country, be it a large utban centre ora rural or isolated community. It will become

increasingly diflicult for our public post offrce toprovide universal postal service if the governmenterodes or eliminates the very mechanism that funds

universal postal service - the exclusive privilege.

he federai government has decided not tohold public hearings in connection with itsreview. It has asked the review's advisory

panel to accept submissions from the public andgroups over a four-month period which includes thesummer. The decision to forgo hearings and adhereto a tight time frame appears to be designed to limit

input from the real owners of our post office -the public.

The Ganada Post GorPorationStrategic Review

The federal government is conducting an inquiry called the Canada Post Corporation Strategic

Review. lt says it is conducting this review to make sure our public post office "has the right

tools and means to fulfill its mandate in the future". lt has even ruled out privatization. This

sounds pretty good until you look beyond the reassuring words' An examination of the review's

mandate shows that the government may be looking at some pretty fundamental changes to our

universal, public postal system.

The Canada Post Corporation Strategic Review will look at basic questions. What is universalpostal service? Should our public post office continue to have an exclusive privilege to handle

letters so that it can provide universal service?

Canada Post. Our vision is also in keeping withCanada Post's mandate under law

Canada Post has a legal mandate to provide

basic postal service while improving service, operatingon a financially self-sustaining basis and balancingthe objectives of the corporation with the needs ofits employees.

Unfortunately, the government\ policy directivesfor Canada Post are at odds with the corporation'slega1 mandate, not to mention what people wantfrom their post oflice. The government has asked

Canada Post to act like a commercial enterprise andprovide a commercial rate of return, even thoughthere is no lega1 requirement lbr the post oflice tomake business-like prohts (See rle law is on our

side).The government's strategic review will consider

what financial targets are appropriate for Canada

Post- It will also look at whether Canada Post

should be deregulated. But that's a whole other story

(See fact sheet #4: Five ressons to oppose deregula'

tion of our post ffice).Canada Post President Moya Greene will, in ail

likelihood, continue to call for commercial profits.

She has repeatedly stated that the corporation is a

commercial enterprise with a business mandate. She

has focused on major customers and profifmakingrather than on postal rvorkers, the public andproviding a public service.

CUPW doesn't think that the public and postal

wolkers are likely to fare r.vell with a post offrce that

is increasingly focused on commercial goals instead

of public interest objectives.Just imagine what Canada Post could do if it

focused on public service and postal workers, notjust its 200 biggest customers. The corporation could

buitd a better, more accouulable. transparenL and

humane postal service - a truly rnodern post ltcould invest prohts in keeping post offices open,

maintaining rural delivery, expanding door-to-doorservice and reducirtg its horrific injury rate one ofthe worst in the federal sector.

.,.continued from page 3

The Act also says that postage rates shall be fair, reasonable and sufficient todefray the costs incurred by the corporation in the conduct of its operationsunder this Act. When Canada Post became a Crown corporation in 198'1,

business groups and others pushed to have this provision included in theAct so that the corporation would not be seen as an easy source of revenuefor the government, They wanted money from postage ploughed back intoservice.

Financial Administration Act (FAA)

The FAA says "there is a reasonable expectation that the corporation[Crown corporations like Canada Post under Part ll of Schedule lll] willpay dividends" and "ordinarily earns a return on equity."

But there is nothing in the FAA that requires a commercial rate of prolit orthe kind of dividends that a business might be required to pay,

Government tinancial and policy framework for Ganada Post

The government's financial and policy framework for Canada Post callson the post office to provide a commercial rate of return (11%) and payan annual dividend of 4loh of net profit. The corporation paid a 15o/" rcteof return in 2005, 8.4oh in 2006 and 3.8% in 2007. lt has handed over$s+z million in dividends to the government in the last 10 years alone.

GUPW wants Ganada Post to start acting like the public service it is. WhileCrown corporations like Canada Post have both public and commercialactivities, they are distinct from commercial enterprises in that they aredesigned to serve the public interest, not maximize profit.

Five reasons to oppose deregulationof our public post officeThe federal government is conducting a very quick and potentially damaging review of our public

post office called the Canada Post Corporation Strategic Review. The government has given the

review's advisory panel a very broad mandate. lt has ruled out privatization, but not deregulationof Canada Post. There are many good reasons to oppose deregulation. Here are five:

oIL

ur public post offrce provides universal and

affordable service. This is no small feat in acountry like ours. Canada has the second

largest landmass in the world and one of the smallest

population densities.It is the post ollice's exclusive privilege or monopoly

on letters that al1ows it to generate enough revenue

to provide universal postal serylce.

When Canada Post was granted the exclusive

privilege to deliver letters in 1981, legislators under-

stood that markel forces alone could not guarantee

a reasonable level of service at affordable prices toall Canadians, especially those living in rural orremote areas. At that time it was estimated that the

cost of servicins rural and isolated areas was'six to ten

times' the existing postage rate of a first class letter.

If the government decides to deregulate our post

officc by reduciug or eliminating the excluqiveprivilege, it will have to dramatically reduce service

or f,rnd another way of funding universal service' Ofcourse, government subsidies are highly unlikely inthis day and age.

Many postal observers believe deregulationwould lead to a downward spiral for Canada Post,

as private sector competitors focus on profitableareas and services, leaving the unprofitable parts toour public post office. With fewer profits, CanadaPost would f,rnd it increasingly difficult to provide

rates. ,9ee the chart on the back,Why is this? Once a domestic letter market is

fully deregulated, competitors typically focus onprofitable urban areas and business mail, leavingunprofitable rural delivery and individual mail to apost oflice. The post offrce normally loses part ofthe lucrative letter business to competitors. At somepoint, the post olfice can no longer cross subsidizeand finance high cost individual mail and ruraldeiivery with the money it makes lrom large volumeurban mailings because competitors have taken thisbusiness.

In addition to rate l-rikes, the public would likelyface service cuts if Canada Post is deregulated. Ifour post officc was to follow thc cxample o[Sweden's deregulated post otIce, it would cut backor eliminate retail service, especially in rural areas.

Recently, an independent review of the UnitedKingdom's deregulated postal sector lound that"there have been no sisnificant benefits from

New Zealand have had any long-term experience'with postal deregulation, Postal workers in NewZealand suffered a dramatic decline in wage 1eve1s

afler their post otEce was deregulated in 1998.Thousands of postal workers'jobs were eliminatedby Sweden Post after it was deregulated. Between1993 and 2005, Sweden Post destroyed 16,000 jobswhile the competition created only 2000 jobs.

There are other good reasons to believe that thenumber and quality of jobs in the postal sectorwould decline if the letter market is deregulated andopened to competition. A 1996 study conducted byCoopers Lybrand concluded that deregulationwould lead to a massive loss of volumes and positionsat Canada Post. The hnancial crisis resulting fromvolumes and revenues lost to competition wouldobviously leave our post offrce with less money to

provide workers with decent wages, benefits andworking conditions.

Rural areas and rvomen would be hardest hit.A financially-strapped post office would not be able

to maintain much service or employment in high-cost rural areas. A review of Canada Post conductedfrom 1995 to 1996 warned that any reduction inrural service would adversely affect women workers,as the post office is one of the few secure, goodpaying jobs available to women in rural parts of thecountry. Indeed, 86.9 per cent of rural counterworkers and 77.5 per cent of rural route maildelivery staff are female.

simultaneously in most urban and subulban areas.

It is not uncommon to see lwo or three delivery

of delivery maximizes fossil fuel consumption, trafficand poliution.

Put another way, if the lettel market is opened

to competition, the same number of letters would

be delivered to the same number of homes and

businesses, but these letters would be delivered by

more vehicles. This r'vould be damaging from an

with mail without the permission of the recipient or

a j udicial warrant.The post oflice employs a highly trained security

force whose primary responsibility is security of the

mail. Major postal facilities are equipped withelaborate security systems. As a result, senders and

recipients of mail may be reasonably conltdent that the

nature of their business or personal correspondenceis private and secure.

With the introduction of competition, it would

be virtually impossible for the federal government toensure that a myriad of delivery companies lived up

to legislation or regulations requiring security of the

mail.Privacy problems lvould be compounded by the

fact that marry competitors would be American-based
