AGENDA ITEM 8
Re: Resolution from Richmond Hill Town Council regarding accessible service at Gas Stations
Richmond Hill Town Council, at its meeting on April 5, 2006, approved the following recommendation in
response to the discussion by the Town's Accessibility Advisory Committee at its meeting on March 23,
2006 of access to full service gas stations by the elderly and persons with physical disabilities or
limitations:
'Whereas it is in the public interest to ensure accessibility to a full range of services and
facilities for all members of the public;
And Whereas the elderly and persons with physical disabilities or limitations require
access to full service gas stations;
And Whereas there are fewer and fewer gas stations in Richmond Hill and elsewhere in
the vicinity, offering full service facilities;
Now Therefore Be It Resolved That:
The Canadian Petroleum Products Institute -be requested to review with its members the
need to ensure that all gas stations make provision for full service to patrons having
special needs;
That the Province of Ontario be requested to address the issue of accessibility to gas
station service in Provincial policies and guidelines pertaining to the accessibility needs of
Ontarians;
That the Town of Richmond Hill Council and Staff use all available tools to ensure the
provision of a full service component for all future gas station facilities in the Town of
Richmond Hill;
That a letter be sent to all gas station operators in the Town of Richmond Hill to request
them to review their current operations to see what can be done to accommodate patrons
with special needs;

Re: Application to Amend the Zoning By-law and Draft Plan of
Subdivision
Chapman Court (Kylemore Homes)
Part of Lot 80, Concession 1, E.Y.S
Files: D14-13-05A & D12-05-3A (Ref: D11-10-05)
Pursuant to the General Committee of April 4, 2006, Council directed Staff to address
the following issues pertaining to the Chapman Court Draft Plan of Subdivision and
Zoning Amendment applications:
Proposed rear yard setbacks for 3 lots of 6.2 metres, 7.3 metres and 2.8
metres whereas the by-law requires a minimum of 7.5 metres;
Details regarding the bridge and trail connection to the Town of Aurora
Holland River Valley /Nokiidaa Trail System; and,
Warning Clause for the future potential increase in the voltage of the hydro
transmission lines on the adjacent hydro lands.
Please find below a discussion on each of the above noted matters.
Proposed Reduced Rear Yard Setback
The proposed reduced rear yard setback (6.2 metres, 7.3 metres and 2.8 metres) for
3 lots (Block 1-Unit 1, Block 2-Unit 6 and Block 7-Unit 38 respectively) is due to their
irregular shape. The R6-32 zone category requires a "minimum setback of a rear
wall from any lot line as 7.5 metres'. This is not achievable on the three lots in
question. This distance was intended to be measured from the rear wall of a building
to the rear lot line. However, on these three lots, the closest lot line is the side lot line
which is angled and therefore, these three lots do not comply with this zone standard.
If the rear yard was measured from the rear wall to the rear lot line, these lots would
meet and exceed the by-law requirement and therefore not need an amendment to
the by-law in this regard (See Figure 1).
—51—
COUNCIL — APRIL 11, 2006
Bridge and trail connection to the Town of Aurora Holland River Valley
/Nokiidaa Trail System
The trail connection proposed by Kylemore Homes would be located at the
southwest corner of their proposed development. A conceptual plan was prepared by
Kylemore that shows a switch -back ramp, trail and bridge crossing. The intent is to
provide an accessible ramp (i.e. 8% slopes maximum) and trail, unconstrained by
steps, etc. The trail would be accessible by the general public via Millcliff
Circle/Chapman Court, through internal roads within the proposed Chapman Court
development, and into the Town's open space valley system. The bridge is required
to span a minor tributary of the East Holland River and connect the trail to the nearby
Holland River Valley / Nokiidaa Trail (See Figure 2).
Discussions between Leisure Services Staff and Kylemore have determined that
Kylemore would construct the works, obtain the necessary approvals from the Town
and the Conservation Authority, and the cost of the trail connection would be credited
to Kylemore to a maximum of their parkland contribution of development credits.
Preliminary estimates prepared by Kylemore indicate that construction of the trail
connection, bridge and associated landscaping and planting would cost $42,195.00.
Information we have received from the Director of Financial Services, indicate the
parks share of development credits amount to $33,172.00. Staff have spoken with
Kylemore in this regard and the applicant is willing to cover the $9,000 shortfall.
Warning Clause regarding Hydro Lands
Legal Services staff have drafted the following warning clause to be inserted in all
Kylemore Home Offers of Purchase and Sale Agreements for the Chapman Court
development regarding the potential future increase in voltage of the hydro
transmission lines that are adjacent to the subject lands:
"Purchasers are advised that the existing hydro transmission lines are currently
operating at 115kv. There is a possibility that the voltage of these transmission lines
may increase to 230kv or 500kv. It is further advised that no objects should be
brought closer than 6 metres (20 feet) to an energized 500kv conductor."
This clause has been included as Condition of Draft Approval # 41.
Sincere ,
S. eibert, MCIP, RPP
