Staff Report
to Council
Date:
January 14, 2015
From: Dwight Colbourne, PTech. – Municipal Planning Officer
Subject:
HOMESTAR Inc. - 15 Elliot Road (PID 30213284) –Rezoning Request from Rural (RU) to Highway
Commercial (HC)
Background and Discussion:
Homestar Inc has submitted a development application to the Town for the expansion of their
existing office and warehouse building located at 11 Elliot Road. As shown on the
accompanying site plan, the proposed expansion will see a portion of the building encroach onto
the adjoin lot, which is also owned by Homestar Inc. via PropertyStar Inc. (the property
management company of Homestar Inc.). The need to rezone the property at 15 Elliot Road in
order to permit the proposed building expansion results the zoning difference between the two
adjacent lots – 11 Elliot Road is zoned Highway Commercial while 15 Elliot Road is Rural. The
current business office and warehouse use at 11 Elliot Road is not a permitted use within the
Rural zone as such a rezoning of 15 Elliot Road to make zoning consistent is required.
The rezoning of the 15 Elliot Road to Highway Commercial would be in keeping with the
general use of the other lots in this area in close proximity to the Palmer Brook Road. The
residential portion of the Elliot Road commences further northeast along the Elliot – about
150metres area. The property at 17 Elliot Road contains a residential home; however is
property is also owned by PropertyStar Inc. as such this proposed expansion will not have any
direct impact on other residential property owners. Furthermore, the size of the proposed
expansion is relatively small in terms of commercial expansions. The addition will be two
storeys to match the existing building with both levels providing 900 sq. ft. each – the lower
level for workshop area and upper level office space. As such it will be unlike to see any
significant changes in traffic volumes to the property, or have any impacts on existing
municipal infrastructure as the building is serviced by private well and septic systems, and the
expansion will not require any changes to the public street or right-of-way.
Based on the size of the expansion and use of office space and workshop/warehouse use an
additional 6 parking spaces will be required. These have not been identified on the site plan
but preliminary review of the site does show ample area to meet the need for additional parking
spaces. This is an item that can be addressed prior to the request moving to the next stage of
the rezoning process.
Staff Report to Council

Page 8 of 31
In order to accommodate the proposed development at this location both a Municipal Plan and
Zoning By-law Amendment by way of a rezoning will be required. The application and
preliminary design package has demonstrated to an acceptable level at this stage that the use
of the land is in keeping with general intent of the municipal plan for this area, and provides
sufficient information to begin a review of the proposal for compliance with the terms of the
Municipal Plan and Zoning By-law. With this in mind, Council can indicate if they wish to
proceed to a Public Presentation stage to commence the required Municipal Plan and Zoning
By-law amendments. The Clerk has produced a proposed schedule for Council’s review and
decision.
Financial Implications:
None have been identified at this time.
Attachment(s):
1. Application Letter requesting a Rezoning of the property at 15 Elliot Road
2. Design Package – Building Plans and Site Plan
Recommendation:
Homestar Inc.’s application to rezone the property 15 Elliot Road from Rural (Ru) to Highway
Commercial (HC) for the purposes of permitting the expansion of their existing commercial
building at 11 Elliot Road be moved to the Public Presentation stage in accordance with Clerk’s
schedule.

(Dec.16/14) Route 66 Auto Car Wash – Dr. Jeff Sheppard – Request to
Amend Zoning By-law to Permit A Car Wash Operation as a
Notwithstanding Use on a Portion of 15 Pettingill Road – PID No.
30256226
Dr. Sheppard presented his plans to construct an express tunnel car wash
on 0.86 acres of property situated at the corner of Greenwood Drive and
Pettingill Road, identified as a portion of 15 Pettingill Road. He and his
business partner, Bob Walsh, plan to offer a superior product through a
safe, fast and effective car wash with vehicles waiting only five to six
minutes in line. The proposed car wash would have two full time
attendants, convenient hours of operation and a clean well maintained
site. The proposed wash tunnel will be 80 feet long by 20 feet wide with a
16 foot wide equipment room separating the tunnel from self-serve bays.
Water consumption requirements, he said, for the proposed car wash
during a peak wash week, based on similar operations and the seasonal
climate, would be 40,000 gallons. The site will contain a 25,000 gallon
reservoir tank which will feed the car wash. The tank will be replenished
each week with one 6,000 gallon tanker of water which will be delivered
during non-peak hours as to not hinder traffic flow. Water will also be
reclaimed and reused from the car wash tunnel at an approximate total of
17,000 gallons per week. Rain water from the building roof will be piped
into the reservoir tank yielding 200 gallons per week. The remaining well
water requirement is a well that can produce 1.66 gallons/minute of water
to top up the tank on an as needed basis. He noted it is anticipated
Monday – Thursday to have a surplus of water which will accumulate in
the reservoir tank for use during higher wash volumes on the weekends.
With this in mind, the car wash will not be drawing from ground water 24/7
but only as required to top up the reserves. The well pump will be on a
February 17, 2015 Regular Meeting

timer, Dr. Sheppard said, so as to not pump continuously. According to
the New Brunswick’s Well Drilling Report of nine properties within 150
meters of the proposed site on Pettingill Road, the average well depth is
203 feet which produced an average of 3.6 gallons of water per minute.
In response to Councillor Clark, Dr. Sheppard stated the site will well lit
with downward cast lighting, and a contractor will be responsible for snow
clearing, and/or snow removal.
In response to Councillor Miller Dr. Sheppard advised a treed buffer will
separate the car wash operation from neighbouring residential properties.
Letter of Objection Received from Brian & Stephanie Patterson, 13
Coventry Crescent and Angus & Mary MacMillan, 15 Coventry Crescent –
The Patterson and MacMillans’ letter expressed concern about sufficient
well water to accommodate a car wash, and asked that Council require an
adequate hydrogeological report that clearly indicates the proposed
development will not have an adverse impact on the local groundwater
table.
Mayor Driscoll called for anyone wishing to speak for or against the
proposed Zoning By-law Amendment.
Mr. Raymond Mosway of 30 Greenwood Drive – Expressed his
opposition to the proposed car wash, noting he has concerns about the
groundwater consumption, oil and salt contaminants, noise from idling
vehicles and added GRH, and safety issues relating to traffic. He also
noted there are three other car washes within close proximity of this
location, and wondered why consideration was not given to a site on
municipal water.
Brian Kierstead, 20 Greenwood Drive – Expressed his concern with the
proposed location, suggesting the area behind the Shoppers Drug Mart
would be a better location. He liked the idea of an express carwash, but
not on the same water table as the Longwood Park Subdivision. He also
noted the high snowbanks currently on the corner of Greenwood Drive
and Pettingill Road, and feels if the proposal is approved, it should be
conditional upon snow being removed from the site so as to not hinder
February 17, 2015 Regular Meeting
Page 4
Page 14 of 31
visibility at the Greenwood Drive/Pettingill Road intersection for motorists
egressing out of Longwood Park.
Ms. Collette, 32 Greenwood – Ms. Collett stated she resides next door to
the proposed car wash site. She expressed concerns about water and
pollution, and noted her children’s bus stop is located at the corner of
Greenwood Drive and Pettingill Road. She also expressed concerns
about safety for the children at the nearby daycare who get on and off
their school bus in this area.
Mr. Greg MacIntosh, 22 Jasper Drive – Mr. MacIntosh referenced the
current professional type businesses located along the Pettingill Road, i.e.
dentist office, daycare, pet store, etc., and did not feel the proposed car
wash, which would only provide employment for one or two people, was
the best use for this property.
Mayor Driscoll asked three (3) times if anyone further wished to speak on
the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment No. 38-20. No one spoke
further.
Dr. Sheppard advised the proposed car wash operation would have oil
separators so that oil would not be discharged into the municipal sewer
system. Additionally, only mild or biodegradable cleaning agents would be
used. He acknowledged the Water Consumption Analysis would still need
to be followed up by an official hydrogeological study to determine the
water quantities at 15 Pettingill Road in comparison with the water
requirements needed to support the proposed express car wash
operation.
PAC’s Written Views – A Notice of Decision from the Planning Advisory
Committee expressed its support of the proposed By-law Amendment No.
38-20 to permit the proposed Auto Car Wash through a Notwithstanding
Clause at the corner of the Pettingill Road and Greenwood Drive, subject
to the following conditions:
1) The by-law amendment is approved by Council;
2) A full comprehensive traffic flow analysis will be required;

Framework and Implementation Plan for a Waste Packaging and Paper
Stewardship Program Across Atlantic Canada ( EPR - Extended Producer
Responsibility)
Mayor Driscoll summarized an Information Session Recycle NB presented
to the Quispamsis and Rothesay Councils earlier in the evening re a
possible future recycling program for packaging, plastics and printed
paper.
The proposed stewardship model, common in many other
Canadian Provinces, and known as an Extended Producer Responsibility
Program, would shift the costs of product recycling from governments and
taxpayers to the product producers, similar to the current tire and paint
recycling programs in New Brunswick. Recycle NB in 2014, had led a
study on packaging and printed paper in partnership with other Atlantic
Provinces, (available on Recycle NB’s website).
Mayor Driscoll noted the primary advantages of this model, namely, are –


It creates a partnership among governments, industry and stakeholders
for recycling;
Taxpayers are relieved of the significant costs related to the recycling of
packaging and printed paper products;
February 17, 2015 Regular Meeting
Page 8
Page 18 of 31


Municipalities/regional authorities continue to be a primary player with
decision-making responsibilities over program design, operation and
practices;
The producers of products bear the primary responsibility for managing
the end of life waste management of their products.
In summary, Mayor Driscoll concluded this model has already been adopted in
Ontario, Quebec, Manitoba and British Columbia, with other Provinces looking at
implementing similar programs.
Moved By Councillor Thompson
Seconded By Councillor Clark
Whereas, Quispamsis has had an Information Session given by Recycle
New Brunswick, and
Whereas there are already several models for the Recycling Plastic
Printed Paper (PPP) as an Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR)
programs implemented across the country, which could serve as a
template for New Brunswick; and,
Whereas, Quispamsis has been and continues to investigate curbside
recycling,
Be it Resolved:
The Quispamsis Town Council endorses the Extended Producer
Responsibility Program - “Plastic and Printed Paper Management” and
requests Recycle NB to continue the legislative process with a planned
implementation date of January 1, 2017.
And further that Council's resolution be forwarded to the Minister of
Environment & Local Government, the Town's MLA's, Recycle NB, the

From: Dana Purton Dickson
Subject:
Community Services Department Vehicle Tenders
Background and Discussion:
The following is a summary of the results of the public tenders for the supply of three (3) new
vehicles for the Community Services Department.
The Tenders were advertised in accordance with our purchasing policy, and in reviewing the
submitted bids for compliance with our specifications it was determined that the low bids meet
all of the required specifications and it is subsequently recommended these bids are acceptable.
The results are as follows (HST is included):
1.
2015 Heavy Duty (H.D.) 3/4 Ton Crew Cab 4 x 4 Truck
Downey Ford $37,928.97 (HST Incl.)
Dobson Chrysler - $43,157.48
2.
2015 Half Ton Regular Cab
Downey Ford $27,502.74 (HST Incl.)
Toyota $28,440.36
3.
New 2015 Mid Roof ¾ Ton Long Wheel Base Van
Downey Ford $38, 406.96 (HST Incl.)
Financial Implications:
The Town budgeted $90,000 in the 2015 Capital Budget for these three vehicles. The tender
totals equal $103,383.67. With the Town’s portion of the HST rebate taken into account the
total purchase cost will be $95, 042.71.
Staff has been tracking the prices for these vehicles the past several months and have observed
the prices increasing as the value of the loonie has been decreasing. Staff plan to make up the
$5,000 difference in pricing on another capital project.
