We realize and are told that this decision is only in the discussion stage, but we are very concerned what it may lead to in the future. As a Fire Department of Lambton Shores, we have a few concerns with the Council meetings being held in the Thedford Village Complex, and we wish that these concerns be included in your January 31 st , 2013 agenda and discussion concerning the future of the Thedford Village Complex: i) As you all aware of the sign which is posted in the complex, there is a maximum capacity number for the meeting room. On several occasions, we have witnessed “standing room only” in the complex which violates the Fire Marshall’s occupancy permitted in the room at one time; ii) The Fire Department has only three (3) “Fire Department only” parking spots available at any one time. On the average for fire calls and practice nights, we have anywhere between 15-20 firefighters in attendance. Therefore, if there is a council meeting during a fire call or practice, the majority of the Fire Department are scrambling to find parking spots due to the “popularity” of the recent council meetings. This could hinder the response time to an emergency call. The parking lot across from the firehall, to the east, is a privately owned parcel of property. We do not have permission to park in this area. The only other option is the parking near the complex and on the street. By having your council meetings at the complex, and the increase in volume at these meetings, there is very limited parking to the firemen in case of an emergency. iii) On several occasions, on practice night, which is every other Tuesday night, the “temporary” council chambers has not been removed or taken down from the meeting room, making it difficult for our department to conduct our essential training. We use the meeting room every other Tuesday night (and have since the facility was built) for training exercises, presentations, and also for Lambton County Chiefs’ meetings, Mutual Aid and Fire Prevention meetings. In closing, we would appreciate your consideration when deciding on the future of the Thedford Village Complex / Thedford Fire Department Training Room. We are very concerned that this facility which was built by the community for its use of all of the residents of Thedford and surrounding area, is going to be taken away and turned into a “Permanent Council Chambers”. Sincerely and respectively, The Thedford (Lambton Shores) Fire Department 93
THE MUNICIPALITY OF LAMBTON SHORES D.C.S. Report No. 24-2013 Tuesday, January 22, 2013 TO: FROM: RE: Mayor Weber and Members of Council Brent Kittmer, Director of Community Services Southcott Pines Three Way Stop Proposal RECOMMENDATION: That D.C.S. Report No. 24-2013 be approved; and further That By-law 17-2013, establishing a three way stop at the northerly intersection of Grand Oaks Drive and Lakeview Avenue be approved. REPORT The Municipality has received correspondence from the Southcott Pines Residents Association with a request to install a three way stop at one of the two intersections of Lakeview Avenue and Grand Oaks Drive. The thought is that the addition of a traffic control will help to improve safety for all road users by adding a new measure of speed control. Lakeview Avenue acts as a local ‘collector’ road for Southcott Pines by providing the main access in and out of the community by way of Highway 21. Lakeview is not constructed to modern urban street standards and lacks roadside shoulders, drainage, is quite narrow, and lacks pedestrian pathways. Lakeview Avenue is essentially a local street with rural or semi-urban characteristics. The request from Southcott Pines Residents Association is based on the observance of safety questions along Lakeview Avenue. Upon reviewing the Transportation Association of Canada (TAC) guidelines this matter generally does not fit into any kind of standard review or formula for the appropriateness of stop sign installation. This road does not have speed, traffic volume, or geometric properties to fall into the TAC standards. As such the Community Services Department refers to the following section from the TAC guidelines based on previous discussion in this report on Lakeview Avenue being a local street: “In residential areas, along local roads, land access takes priority over mobility and capacity. The benefits achieved through low vehicular mobility and lower traffic include enhanced safety for pedestrians and children at play, reduced noise levels, reduced vehicle emissions, and increased comfort for residents. 94
