(b) (c) (d) (e) (f) a 2.22 ha. residential Block which could be developed with apartment dwellings, nursing home, home for the aged, retirement home and townhouses including street townhouses; a 0.48 ha park block; three (3) commercial blocks; a 0.81 ha. storm water management facility; two (2) open space blocks. Rice Development Company Inc. has been working to satisfy the conditions of approval. I expect to bring a report to the next Council meeting requesting that Council grant final approval to the west half of this development (which is comprised of three phases) and grant an extension to the draft approval on the balance of the lands until June 2014. A number of issues need to be addressed in order to allow Council to grant final approval to the west half of the subdivision. The storm water management facility required for the Subdivision, which will become a municipal facility, has been sized to accommodate the final phase (Phase 5) (see map, Attachment 1) of development in Grand Cove Estates, which is located within the Municipality of South Huron. Phase 5 of Grand Cove Estates is being developed by a division of the Rice Development Company Inc. and is comprised of 25 single family condominium units. A number of issues arise from allowing a development outside of Lambton Shores to utilize a municipal storm water management facility in the Municipality. Since the lands will not be paying taxes in Lambton Shores, they will not be contributing to the long term maintenance costs of the facility. Since the lands are owned by Rice the issue of a contribution to the long term maintenance of the facility has been part of the negotiations for final approval of their Lambton Shores subdivision. Storm water flows from Phase 5 represent 10% of the capacity of the facility. It is Staff’s recommendation that a onetime lump sum contribution be made for the future maintenance of the facility. The monies will be kept in an interest bearing account which will assist in replenishing the account over the long term. Staff calculates the yearly contribution to maintenance at $850/year for Phase 5 and suggests that a 20 year time frame be used to calculate a one-time lumps sum payment of $17,000. In order to ensure that Phase 5 has long term access to the storm water management facility and the municipal storm sewer extending from Phase 5 to the facility, the Municipality must also enter into an agreement with that division of the Rice Development Corporation Inc. developing Phase 5, which provides for this long term access. The subdivision agreement will provide for the execution of this agreement. Rice Group is proposing to construct upgrades to the park proposed in the Rice Subdivision. Lambton Shores Infrastructure Design Guidelines and Construction Standards require that parks be graded and seeded. In addition the standards require that street trees be planted along road allowances 16 at an approximate spacing of 1 tree
per 20 metres. Rice are proposing to enhance the park beyond the standards of the Municipality, by enhancing landscaping, constructing walkways, installing two benches and a park sign with armour stone (see Attachment 2). The value of these upgrades is approximately $19,800.00 Rice is requesting that the Municipality contribute to the cost of these upgrades in the amount of 50%. I have discussed this with the Treasurer and monies to contribute to the park upgrades can be obtained from the cash-in-lieu of parkland account. Certainly, having the parked enhanced beyond the minimum municipal standard for 50% the cost is a benefit to the Municipality as well as the developer. Staff recommends that Council contribute to the enhancements. The developer is also contemplating the installation of a play structure in this park, but will discuss this with the Municipality when the subdivision agreement and final clearance are obtained for the balance of subdivision. Finally, Rice Group is anticipating the development of 75 dwelling units, upon registration of the west half of the Subdivision. Rice Group advises that they will require 82 m³ of capacity in the Grand Bend Sewage Treatment Facility. Currently Council has allocated 60 m² to this development. Calculations done earlier this year indicate that there appears to be approximately 36m³ of unallocated capacity in the Grand Bend Sewage Treatment Facility. Staff recommends that Council endorse the additional allocation and direct staff to request that the Grand Bend Sewage Facility Board grant 22m³ of additional capacity to the Rice Group, subject to the development proceeding by June 2012.
