9. RECOMMENDATION REPORT
CITY INITIATED REGULATIONS TO
PERMIT
OUTDOOR PATIOS ON THE PUBLIC
RIGHT OF WAY (10.0)
Memo Revised
Appendix A Revised
Appendix B Report
On March 4, 2014, Development Services Committee deferred consideration
of the above subject matter to the meeting this date. The Committee received a memorandum
dated March 11, 2014 from the Commissioner of Development Services providing an
update and outlining revisions to Appendices 'A' and 'B'.
Sally Campbell, Senior
Planner, Urban Design, gave a presentation to explain the background, options,
and draft proposal to permit outdoor patios on the public right-of-way.
The Committee had
comments regarding changes to the fencing standards to enable the structure to
be bolted down for liability purposes and the safety of pedestrians; By-law
enforcement for noise issues; temporarily waiving fees; reviewing the policy in
two years; and a tentative opening date of April 1, depending on weather and site
conditions. Staff responded to questions and provided an explanation of the City’s
liability. Staff will amend the draft policy to reflect the directions of the
Committee.
A similar proposal was
suggested for Yonge Street, and staff were directed to work with the Region in
this regard. Staff were also requested to address the fire hydrants that are
located in front of some parking bays.
Paul Cicchini, restaurant owner on Main Street Markham,
thanked staff and Council for the road improvements and the patio initiative.
Mr. Cicchini recommended that fencing be bolted down for safety and vandalism
reasons, and discussed noise concerns. He supported the April 1 opening date
and waiving of fees, and requested a closing hour of 2:00 a.m. instead of 11:00
p.m. The Committee considered extending the operating hours.
Sharon Taylor Wood,
representing the Unionville BIA, provided a 46-signature addition to a previous
petition (for a total of 177 signatures) in opposition to the removal of any
parking on Main Street Unionville. Ms. Taylor Wood spoke in support of the
proposal for Markham Main Street, but opposed the proposal for Main Street
Unionville, as the boulevards are designed for parking and pedestrian movement,
not patios, and more consultation is required with the Unionville businesses.
Staff advised that any
applications would need to meet the requirements of the policy and by-law,
including setback and space requirements. The sidewalk and patio design details
were reviewed. The Committee considered that Unionville businesses should not be
restricted, and suggested staff discuss this matter with the UBIA.
Zuzana Zila made a
deputation in opposition to the proposal for Main Street Unionville, noting
that the by-law requires fencing for patios, which may be difficult in
Unionville particularly for existing patios.
The Committee requested a
copy of the presentation, and requested information regarding the amount of
insurance required by the owners.
Moved by: Councillor
Colin Campbell
Seconded by: Councillor
Carolina Moretti
1) That the deputations by Paul Cicchini, Sharon
Taylor Wood, representing the Unionville BIA, presenting a petition regarding parking on Main Street
Unionville, and Zuzana Zila, regarding the proposed Boulevard Patio Policy, be
received; and,
2) That the memorandum dated March 11,
2014 entitled "Boulevard Patio Policy – Update Memorandum" be
received; and,
3) That the report dated March 18, 2014, entitled
“RECOMMENDATION REPORT City Initiated Regulations to Permit Outdoor Patios on
the Public Right of Way”, be received; and,
4) That an amendment to Section 6.1 of the Road Occupancy
By-law 2013-136, included as Appendix ‘A’ attached to the memorandum dated
March 11, 2014, be enacted to regulate outdoor patios in the public right of
way; and,

Memo Report
On March 5, 2014, Council referred the recommendation from the February
25, 2014 Development Services Committee meeting to the March 18, 2014
Development Services Committee meeting to allow the Ward Councillor to organize
a meeting between interested Members of Council, the applicant for Plan B Homes
Inc. and 2381423 Ontario Inc., and representatives of the area residents.
Rino Mostacci, Director of Planning and Urban Design, reported on
agreements reached between the applicant and residents regarding the lot
pattern and frontage.
Discussions included the potential extension of Barter Street. It was
noted that the street was part of the original subdivision plan. Bill Snowball,
Fire Chief, addressed the Committee with respect to the need for a second
access to the neighbourhood, necessitating the extension of Barter Street
through to 14th Avenue. The Committee suggested an emergency vehicle
access lane as an alternative, similar to other locations in the City; however,
the Fire Chief stated that it is not easily maintained, would not facilitate
access for all types of emergency vehicles, and is not an adequate alternative.
The City Solicitor provided clarification on liability for emergency services. The
Fire Chief will provide the Committee with a time-response analysis.
Nadia Zuccaro, EMC Group Limited, representing Plan B Homes, displayed
a revised lotting plan for 14 lots, reduced from the original proposal for 15
lots.
Alan Brown, Director of Engineering, provided an update on the servicing
capacity and cost-sharing discussions with other residents.
The Committee discussed the draft concept plans for the adjacent property
to the east, indicating townhouse development. Staff have conveyed to the
applicant that townhouses are not supported at this location.
Sara Baldwin, representing Bellport Homes, explained that Barter Street
has not been extended to date as an existing business is located on the site.

AVENUE
BOXGROVE SECONDARY PLAN AREA
(10.0)
Memo
There were extensive discussions under Agenda Item #
10, Recommendation Report, Plan B Homes Inc. regarding the proposed Barter
Street extension.
A motion was moved by Deputy Mayor Jack Heath and
seconded by Councillor Don Hamilton that Barter Street be modified to be an
emergency vehicle access lane, and was LOST in a tie.
Moved by: Councillor Logan Kanapathi
Seconded by: Councillor Colin Campbell
1) That the Memorandum dated March 18, 2014, entitled
"Proposed Barter Street Extension 6845 to 6889 14th Avenue,
Boxgrove Secondary Plan Area", be received for information purposes.
LOST
12. MAIN STREET MARKHAM SOUTH
HIGHWAY 407 TO HIGHWAY 7
(5.10)
Report
Alan Brown, Director of Engineering, provided background information
and explained the reconstruction program, include the temporary road closure. A
meeting is scheduled with the Main Street Working Group to discuss the
logistics, staging, and traffic management plan. Staff will report back to the
Committee in May on the Traffic Management Plan and other details.
Phil Richardson, representing the Markham Residents for Responsible
Community Planning, spoke in opposition to the proposal and provided a petition
with 136 signatures in opposition, advising that the petition has since grown
to 169 signatures. Mr. Richardson discussed the traffic congestion and the
impacts on residents and businesses if the road is closed, and suggested that they
had not been consulted.
Zuzana Zila spoke in opposition to the road closure with respect to the
impact to the businesses, on top of the recent reconstruction of Main Street.
Staff explained the extensive discussions and consultation throughout
the Environmental Assessment process from 2008 to 2010, and the Main Street
Vision exercise, followed by an examination of all the options, and endorsement
of the three-lane option by all stakeholders, residents, and Council. Staff will
work with the Region to adjust signals and help traffic flow.
Staff confirmed that the bridge needs repair and may become dangerous. In
2009, the bridge was assessed to be replaced by 2014. There are no immediate
issues; however, if the project is delayed it would have to be reassessed. The
environmental constraints provide for a narrow window of opportunity for the
work to be done and if delayed, there may be an extended closure for up to a year
with additional major costs involved. Legal staff advised of liability issues,
based on the assessment and advice of expert opinions.
Staff responded to questions regarding the potential to open one lane early,
the non-competitive procurement process, the timing for the tender process, and
the current structural integrity. A similar situation was noted with the John
Street bridge. The Committee supported this option as the most prudent, for safety
and financial reasons.

Seconded by: Councillor Colin Campbell
