COUNCIL REPORT No. PW04-006
SUBJECT: Stoddart Drive -Disposition of Sidewalk and Early Approval of Capital
Reconstruction Project
FROM: W. H. Jackson, Director of Public Works
DATE: February 10, 2004
RECOMMENDATIONS
THAT the existing sidewalk on Stoddart Drive remain as is;
THAT staff finalize the drawings and tender documents for the reconstruction of
Stoddard Drive without any change to the existing sidewalk except for the
replacement of cracked and/or damaged sidewalk bays as necessary;
THAT Council approve the reconstruction of Stoddart Drive in advance of approval
of the remainder of the 2004 Capital Budget; and
THAT staffbe directed to report to Council with the results of the tendering process.
BACKGROUND
The reconstruction of Stoddart Drive (See Appendix "A") is included in the 2004 Capital
Budget. The design of this project is now complete with the exception of resolution of the
issue regarding the sidewalk. Once Council has provided direction on that issue, the
drawings and tender documents will be completed such that the project can be tendered in
early February (assuming pre -approval of funding).
COMMENTS
Stoddart Drive is a local two-lane road with an urban cross-section and a sidewalk along
part of the east side of the street. The reconstruction will not change the road design.
During discussions with residents, it became apparent there was concern about the final
disposition of the sidewalk on Stoddart Drive. Although Stoddart Drive runs from Fairway
Drive to Nisbet Drive, a sidewalk only exists on the east side of the street from House No.
39 to House No. 63 or approximately 44% of the street.
000001
February 10, 2004 - 2 - Report No. PW04-006
An "Open House/Information Centre" was held on Tuesday, January 20, 2004 in the Town
Hall, to present the preliminary design for the reconstruction of Stoddart Drive (See
Appendix "B").
Plans were presented at the Open House showing the extension of the sidewalk to the
ends of the street. The sidewalk was placed as close as possible to the curb to minimize
any impact on the properties it crosses and avoid the removal of any mature vegetation.
The majority of the residents who attended the meeting were generally pleased with the
design as presented with the exception of the disposition of the sidewalk (See Appendix
„C„
In the past there have been ongoing discussions and concerns about how the existing
sidewalk on the street should be treated. In a survey conducted between January 9 and
23, 2004 the residents of Stoddart Drive were asked to choose between one of the
following three options:
leave the sidewalk as it presently exists
remove the existing sidewalk
• extend the existing sidewalk to the ends of the street
Out of 49 households on the street, including the properties located on the corners of
Stoddart Drive and Nisbet, Glenview and Fairway Drives, 37 responses were received as
follows:
• 23 households were in favour of leaving the sidewalk as it presently exists.
Nobody was in favour of removing the existing sidewalk. One resident (63 Stoddart
Drive) is asking for a partial removal of the existing sidewalk at the north edge
across his lawn.
11 households were in favour of extending the existing sidewalk to the ends of the
street.
Notes:
The resident at 63 Stoddart Drive had no overall opinion, but asked that if the sidewalk is to be left as it presently exists,
the section from his driveway to where it now ends be removed. This survey was not included in the overall results.
One household submitted two replies expressing different opinions. These two surveys were not included in the overall
results,
Residents who wished to leave the sidewalk as it presently exists are concerned that the
extension of the sidewalk to the ends of the street would have an adverse impact on the
mature vegetation in their neighbourhood. They bought their properties without the
sidewalk, landscaped their properties and would prefer to keep the appearance of the
street the way it now is. As previously stated, the preliminary design drawings placed the
February 10, 2004 - 3 - Report No. PW04-006
sidewalk close to the curb to minimize impact on adjacent properties. No mature trees will
be cut down due to the extension of the sidewalk.
Residents who favoured extending the existing sidewalk to the ends of the street have, as
their main concern, pedestrian safety. People walking along Stoddard Drive, at some
point, end up on the roadway. They have to use the street to access the beginning/end of
the sidewalk creating the risk of an accident. Some residents complained especially about
the bend in the road around houses 22-34 which they considered unsafe with visibility
obstructed by vegetation.
The design of this project is complete except for the single issue of the sidewalk. Upon
resolution of that issue, staff will be in a position to tender the project. By tendering this
project as early as possible, staff anticipate that more bids and better prices will be
achieved than if the tender is issued later. This also allows the Department to spread our
road reconstruction work over the year.
OPTIONS
As stated earlier the 3 options regarding the disposition of the sidewalk are:
leave it as it presently exists;
remove it; or
extend it to the ends of the street.
With respect to the timing of the tender, Council may decide not to approve the funding at
this time. In that case, tendering of the project will not occur until after the 2004 Capital
Budget has been approved.
CONCLUSIONS
The design layout of Stoddard Drive is fundamentally the same as the existing layout with
respect to curbs and pavement widths. The design presented at the Open House included
an extension of the existing sidewalk to the ends of the street to assist residents in
determining what option they preferred and to confirm the minimal impact of the sidewalk
extension on adjacent properties.
Section 3.10.1 of The Official Plan directs that "Local Roads" shall, among other matters,
"provide appropriate pedestrian sidewalks". Although it is a "local" road, Stoddart Drive is
not a cul-de-sac or crescent and does connect two adjacent streets. Accordingly,
extending the existing sidewalk was believed the appropriate action at the initial design
stage.
It should be noted, however, that Council in 1999 directed that "... streets may not always
000003
February 10, 2004 - 4 - Report No. PW04-006
require sidewalks..." and since that time staff have undertaken surveys of the residents to
ascertain their opinion with respect to the provision of a sidewalk.
Stoddard Drive has operated in its present arrangement since it was constructed. Our
accident records go back 13 years and overthat time, we have records of only 3 accidents
on Stoddard Drive all of which are vehicle/vehicle collisions.
In consideration of the above, coupled with the results of the most recent survey, it appears
that the appropriate course of action at this time is to not include any sidewalk extension
work (only replace those sidewalk bays that are cracked) on Stoddard Drive during the
upcoming reconstruction project.
It is noted that after completion of this reconstruction work, staff would not anticipate
returning to this street for other than maintenance activities for at least 40 years.
Nevertheless, as noted before, the reconstruction work will not change the road width or
layout and accordingly, the question of installing a sidewalk can be reconsidered at a later
date should the Council of the day or residents wish to do so without incurring a
significantly increased construction cost.
Approval of this project in advance of the remainder of the 2004 Capital Budget is
proposed in order to allow for the early tendering of the project. It has been demonstrated
in the past that the early tendering of projects results in an increased chance of receiving a
larger number of bids for the project and also of receiving better prices.
If Council wishes to not "pre -approve" this project, tendering will occur after the budget is
approved.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
Leaving the sidewalk as it presently exists will cost less than $2,000 for the replacement of
a number of cracked bays. In this option, staff has no problem with acceding to the
request of the resident of 63 Stoddad Drive that the "dead end" portion of the sidewalk
from his driveway be removed. Staff would also ask the resident at 39 Stoddard Drive if
they wish the same arrangement.
Removing the existing sidewalk will cost approximately $6,500 including replacing topsoil
and sod and/or driveways where necessary.
Extending the existing sidewalk to the ends of the street will cost approximately $25,000 to
supply and place the sidewalk.
Funds have been included in the draft 2004 Capital Budget for this project, as shown on
the attached Capital Budget Sheet (Appendix "D").
Council has previously approved the by-law to set the interim tax rates for 2004 at 50% of
February 10, 2004 - 5 - Report No. PW04-006
the total 2003 taxes to allow for the collection of tax revenues in advance of the approval of
the final tax rates for 2004. For Council's information, the reconstruction of Stoddart Drive
represents approximately 21 % of the road reconstruction portion of the 2004 Public Works
Draft Capital Budget. If reconstruction of Stoddard Drive is pre approved, this will mean
that combined with the approval on February 10, 2004 of the funding for the reconstruction
of Banff Drive, Bigwin Drive and St. Andrews Court, approximately 68% of the road
reconstruction portion of the 2004 Public Works Draft Capital Budget will have been
approved prior to approval of the 2004 Budget.
LINK TO STRATEGIC PLAN
Goal "A" speaks to maintaining a well -managed and fiscally responsible municipality,
including a reduction of operating costs by setting priorities and focusing on core services.

Re: Public Information Meeting on January 20, 2004 - Reconstruction of Stoddart Drive
An "Open House/Information Centre" was held on Tuesday, January 20, 2004 in the Holland
Room to present the preliminary design for the reconstruction of Stoddart Drive. Forty residents
attended, 18 from Stoddart Drive, 1 who resides at the corner of Stoddart Drive and Nisbet Drive,
and 21 from Glenview Drive and Nisbet Drive.
The proposed layout of this street is the same that now exists with the exception of the sidewalk.
The residents who attended the meeting were generally pleased with the design as presented,
and there were no concerns expressed with the exception of the disposition of the sidewalk.
There have been ongoing discussions and concerns about how the existing sidewalk on the street
should be treated. As you are aware a survey was conducted for residents on Stoddart Drive
regarding the disposition of the sidewalk. The survey closed on January 23, 2004 with 37
responses received from residents of Stoddart Drive. The results are summarized below:
1) Leave sidewalk as it presently exists: 23
2) Remove the existing sidewalk: 0
3) Extend the sidewalk to the ends of the street: 11
Notes:
1) The resident at 63 Stoddart had no overall opinion, but asked that if the sidewalk Is to be left as it presently exists that
the section from his driveway to where it now ends be removed. This survey was not included in the overall results.
2) One household submitted two replies, with one in the name of both residents expressing one opinion and one
submitted in the name of one resident expressing a different opinion. These two surveys were not included in the
overall results.
Copies of all of the completed surveys are in the "General Correspondence File" in the
Councillor's office room.
As discussed in my September 12, 2003 e-mail to you, now that the Open House and survey are
completed, we will report to Council for a decision on the issue of the sidewalk. This report is
scheduled to be presen d for your consideration at your February 3, 2004 meeting.

COUNCIL REPORT
SUBJECT: Confirmation By-law
FROM: Bob Panizza, Director of Corporate Services
DATE: February 10, 2004
RECOMMENDATIONS
No. CSO4-02
THAT Council approve the practice of enacting a confirmation by-law at the end of
every Council meeting.
BACKGROUND
At a recent Council /Staff workshop, Mr. George Rust-D'eye a solicitor with the firm of Weir
& Folds did a presentation on topical legal issues. During this presentation Mr. Rust-D'eye
indicated that many municipalities have adopted the practice of enacting a confirmation
by-law at the end of every Council meeting. He indicated that the purpose of the by-law is
to solidify all of the decisions that may have been made by Council at it's meeting. He
further suggested that the Town of Aurora should considered implementing this practice
also. Subsequent to this Councillor Buck at the General Committee meeting of January
20 requested that staff bring forward a report regarding the procedure to institute a
confirmation by-law. At the Council meeting of January 27, a confirmation by-law was
included with the agenda, however Council deferred the matter to staff for a report.
COMMENTS
As previously mentioned, the enactment a confirmation by-law at the end of Council
meetings is a widely used practice in many municipalities throughout Ontario. Presently
within the Region of York, the Towns of Markham, Richmond Hill, Whitch urch-Stouffville,
the City of Vaughan, the Township of King and the Region itself enact a confirmatory by-
law. Originally utilized by some municipalities as far back as the mid 1960's, the objective
of the by-law, as it is named, is to confirm actions or matter considered by a Council at the
meeting.
According to the Municipal Act 2001 provisions within this legislation clearly identify the
exercise of powers of a municipality through Section 5 of the Act.
Sec. 5(1) states: The powers of a municipality shall be exercised by its council.
000011
February 10, 2004 - 2 - Report No. CSO4-02
The Act further elaborates through Sec. 5(3) that: A municipal power, including a
municipality's capacity, rights, powers and privileges under section 8, shall be exercised
by by-law unless the municipality is specifically authorized to do so otherwise.
Traditionally it has been the practice of Town Council to authorize actions in two basic
formats namely resolutions and/or by by-laws. Although the adoption of a resolution may
be sufficient to empower staff to perform assignments, according to the Act it appears that
the enactment of a by-law provides the additional level of authorization. Therefore, based
on the suggestion provided by Mr. Rust-D'Eye and the legislation contained in the
Municipal Act, staff recommends that the Town initiate the practice of enacting a
Confirmation By-law at the end of all Council meetings.
In addition it will also be necessary to amend the Town's Procedural By-law to identify and
incorporate a provision whereby the practice to enact a Confirmation By-law is outlined in
the procedures.
OPTIONS
Council may wish to dispense with the proposal to enact a confirmation by-law and
maintain the status quo.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
There are no financial implications to the enactment of the proposed by-law.
LINK TO STRATEGIC PLAN
Goal A
To maintain a well managed and fiscally responsible municipality.

COMMENTS
The subject Block forms part of Registered Plan of Subdivision 65M-3678 for Phase 1 of
the `Spring Farm' development. The applicant is requesting an exemption from Part Lot
Control (as provided for under Section 50(7) of the Planning Act) as a means of achieving
the proposed lot division, rather than through applications for consent to the Committee of
Adjustment or a separate plan of subdivision. All of the proposed lots conform with the
provisions of the Zoning By-law. The exemption from Part Lot Control would implement the
original intent of both the Official Plan and Subdivision Agreement. Furthermore, the
application was circulated and there are no objections.
OPTIONS
Not applicable.
CONCLUSION
The proposed lots conform with the provisions of the implementing Official Plan, Zoning
By-law, and Subdivision Agreement. Staff recommend that Council approve the request
for exemption from Part Lot Control made by Minto Communities (Toronto) Inc. to divide
the subject lands as noted above into separate lots.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
Not applicable.
LINK TO STRATEGIC PLAN
Not applicable.
