REQUEST FOR DECISION Prepared By: Heather Archibald Date: October 27, 2016 Reviewed By: Date: Authorized By: Date: CURRENT SITUATION Ten Beaches Estate’s 74-unit mini home park in Simms Settlement which currently has 13 mini homes located on site. Staff presented a report to Council in September regarding outstanding issues and requested direction on fencing. Council instructed staff to give the developer 30 days for seeding and the chain link fencing to be completed. Fencing and Rock Wall The installation of the remaining chain link fence is IN PROGRESS. The chain link fence along the Watts side property line was being installed October 26, 2016. The developers have stated to staff that all the missing sections of chain link fence will be installed by mid-November. Landscaping The seedings of park areas and the stormwater management pond is COMPLETE. The small park areas at the back area of the development have have topsoil and mulch applied and have been seeded with grass seed. The stormwater management pond has been reseeded for a total of 2 applications. The installer has told the developer the grass will grow when there is more moisture and proper temperatures. The area appeared more green this week than it did in August. Conclusion Staff will perform another site inspection mid-November to confirm whether the chain link fence has been completed as approved under the site plan. Staff consider the matter of vegetation/landscaping complete for now but will confirm the seeding has taken root next spring. If there is still no grow, further steps may need to be taken. REPORT TO: Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Community Development Department DATE: October 27, 2016 SUBJECT: Ten Beaches Estates (PID 60084803) Update on seeding and fencing ORIGIN: MPS, Municipal LUB and Ten Beaches Estates Site Plan SP2010-038 2 Progress Report BACKGROUND The site plan was approved on appeal to Council with a provision that a 4-foot chain link fence be installed between the Ten Beaches Estates development and the neighbouring properties: Seaboyer (PID 60084746), Hannam (PID 60084753) and Watts (PIDs 60410412 & 60084761). Fencing and Rock Wall: Portions of the property lines between the development and the neighbouring properties have been fenced with chain link, one section contains a rock wall and one section has no fencing or rock wall between the properties. The developers requested approval from the Municipality in 2013 to install a rock wall in place of a chain link fence. The development officer (DO) of the time granted this approval. The request from the developer was worded in such a way it that it implied they were replacing the entire length of the chain link fence with a rock wall. Since that time the developers have stated that they did not intend to replace the entire chain link fence with rock wall but only a portion of it. Staff feels that had this been the case originally that the DO’s approval would not have been granted for such a fragmented barrier. Prior to this update there was a black chain link fence behind the Seaboyer property, a rock wall behind the Hannam property and a mix of aluminum and black chain link fences behind the Watts property with the side property line having no fence or rock wall. The rock wall has been installed behind the Hannam property (PID 60084753) and is 4 feet or more on the Hannam’s side. However, on the development’s side a large portion of the rock wall has been infilled level with the rock wall. This section is the western side of the rock wall for a little over 100 feet in length. There is one area where the rock wall meets the chain link fence to the east that the rock wall is not 4 feet from either side of the property line. The shared side property line between the development and the Hannam property has a rock wall with infill and an aluminum chain link fence that is part of the stormwater management pond. The aluminum portion of the fence behind the Watts property is also part of the stormwater management pond’s fencing, once beyond the pond the fencing changes to the blank chain link. Infilling is not prohibited within the Municipality’s General Basic zone. Staff felt that the mixture of part chain link fence and part rock wall is not suitable and that there should be a consistency of one style to maintain a cohesive appearance. Council’s decision to uphold the Development Officer’s original approval of the site plan was granted with a provision that a 4-foot chain link fence be installed between the Ten Beaches 3 Progress Report Estates development and the neighbouring properties: Seaboyer (PID 60084746), Hannam (PID 60084753) and Watts (PIDs 60410412 & 60084761). Landscaping The site plan criteria require all common areas, sewer easement areas and the stormwater management area to be seeded with vegetation. To date the sewer areas have been seeded and are growing, with the drought this summer the cover is not as thick as one would want but they do have a good cover of vegetation growing over the holding tanks and field beds. The hydro-seeding on the stormwater management pond has not taken hold and needed to be redone. The small park areas and any other common areas of the development appear to have not been seeded or the seeding has not grown as they were bare dirt in August of this year when the DO visited the site. These matters remained unfinished. While it is understandable why any seeding this summer has not been successful, staff felt it is reasonable to require the developers to reseed this fall to bring the landscaping into compliance. The majority of the construction is complete and seeding the park areas and pond will not impact any work that may be remaining at the site. On September 29, 2016 Council directed staff to inform the developer they needed to complete the seeding and install the chain link fence along the entire boundary line between the developer’s property and the Seaboyer, Hannam and Watts properties as was approved under the amendmend site plan which was approved by Council at the appeal hearing. Council did not find the mixuture of rock wall and chain link fence a satisfactory substitute to the original approved chain link fence. Timeline: Below is a short timeline of key select events as they relate to the Ten Beaches Estates development and fencing: June 29, 2010 Application received for a proposed 74-unit mini home park. April 13, 2012 DO grants site plan approval for a mini home park. Letters sent to neighbours April 30, 2012 Appeal received from Seaboyers, Hannams & Watts’ 4 Progress Report June 14, 2012 Council heard appeal. Decision delayed to receive revised site plan. June 28, 2012 DO’s approval of the site plan upheld by Council with the revised plan that included a 4-foot chain link fence between neighbouring properties and the development. June 17, 2013 Email request from developers to change the chain link fence to a stone wall Summer/Fall 2013 Previous development officer (DO) grants approval to change the 4- foot chain link fence to a stone wall. DO requests pictures and design details of proposed rock wall. Approval is granted under the assumption the entire chain link fence will change to a rock wall of 4 feet or higher. November 2013 Site visit performed by the Municipality on another matter, rock wall behind Hannam property is already constructed. Late 2014/Early 2015 Developers inquire whether the rock wall needs to extend over the mound behind the Seaboyers’ property. DO advised it was part of the site plan but would check with the Seaboyers to confirm their preference. Previous verbal discussions with Mr. Seaboyer indicated they did not wish to have a stone wall along their property line. January 15, 2015 Report for Council prepared. Within the report issues related to the rock wall, the developer’s request to not construct it along the Seaboyer’s property, the DO waiting for letter from the Seaboyers. January 20, 2015 DO mailed letter to developers stating need to finish rock wall as requested in lieu of the 4-foot chain link fence. DO advised she was waiting for a letter from the Seaboyers stating whether they wanted a rock wall and that Council direction would be needed prior to allowing the rock wall to not be constructed behind the Seaboyers property. January 22, 2015 Discussion with Council regarding the rock wall. It is determined that before Council would consider exempting this area from the requirement of the rock wall/fence all appellant parties would need to agree. January 29, 2015 Seaboyers email DO and confirm they wish to see a nicely designed 8- foot rock wall behind their property. With the confirmation that the Seaboyers still want the division between properties, the DO does not seek agreement of the other property owners to not install a division behind the Seaboyer property. July 28, 2016 DO advised by the Municipal Fire Services Coordinator that local fire department’s pressure test on the hydrant was not successful and that the developer’s engineer stated the issue is related to the two 5 Progress Report DISCUSSION This report provides an update on the grass seeding and chain link fence installation as required for the development under the approved site plan.

Could you please forward this to them before the next meeting. Thank you. To Councillors of the Municipality of the District of Chester, RE: Chester Visitor Information Centre As a costumer for the Chester Drama Society which uses space upstairs at the Chester Train Station for costume storage, the other costumer and I were often at the train station when the Visitor Information Centre was closed after September 4th. When we worked there we locked the door behind us, so we did not see who came when we were working upstairs. However, almost every time we arrived or left (at oddly different hours), there were people wanting to access the VIC. When we could, we helped by handing out maps and brochures and answering questions (or once in a while just letting them use the washroom). Often times there were more than one group of people looking for VIC services. It’s too bad that they couldn’t be served by people who knew what they were doing. I think the VIC provides an important service for visitors to Chester municipality, Lunenburg County and Nova Scotia. I certainly hope the service continues and that the season of operation is longer than it was this year. I’m sure that many people came and were disappointed while we were locked in upstairs. Very truly yours, Erin Gore REQUEST FOR DECISION/DIRECTION Prepared By:Matthew S. Davidson, P.Eng Date October 28, 2016 Reviewed By:Tammy S. Wilson, CAO Date October 28, 2016 Authorized By:Tammy S. Wilson, CAO Date October 28,2016 CURRENT SITUATION At the September 29th, 2016 Municipal Council meeting, whereby members of the Village Commission were in attendance, motion 2016-402 was approved. The motion read “MOVED by Councillor Armstrong, SECONDED by Deputy Warden Shatford that Municipal Council direct staff to work with the Village Commission to draft a Scope of Work for a Needs Assessment and options analysis, with estimates of costs to address the need.” RECOMMENDATION N/A BACKGROUND At the February 4th, 2016 Committee of Whole meeting, Council requested staff to list and summarize the various reports regarding the future water system for the Village of Chester. The summarized list was provided as part of a Request for Direction, dated April 20th, 2016 and reviewed by Council at the May 19th, 2016 Committee of the Whole. At the May 19th meeting, The Director of Engineering and Public Works was instructed to provide Councillor Armstrong with a ball-park figure for providing water to the village, based on full cost recovery.At the August 18th, 2016 Committee of the Whole, an updated cost estimate of $22,000,000 (2016 Dollars, Net HST) was presented to Council. DISCUSSION Staff has discussed Council’s request with one (1) of our pre-qualified Consultants to gain insight on the process completed for the Village of Pugwash Water system, as well as advice on the specific steps the Municipality of the District of Chester and the Village of Chester should complete to ensure the need and options available are fully scoped.
