THAT the City of Greater Sudbury’s delegated official be directed to amend the conditions of draft approval for a plan of subdivision on those lands described as Part of PIN 73593-0389, Part of Parcel 15951, Lot 4, Concession 1, Township of McKim, File # 780-6/11006, as outlined in the report entitled “Fairlane Subdivision, Sudbury” from the General Manager of Growth and Infrastructure, presented at the meeting on April 14, 2025 as follows:
1. By replacing Condition #8 with the following:
“8. That this draft approval shall lapse on May 8, 2028.”
2. By adding the following to Condition #10:
“The geotechnical engineer must address requirements as it relates to the development under Ontario Regulation 406/19: On-Site and Excess Soil Management.”
3. By replacing Condition #21 with the following:
“21. A stormwater management report and associated plans must be submitted by the Owner’s Consulting Engineer for approval by the City. The report must address the following requirements:
• The underground storm sewer system within the plan of subdivision must be designed to accommodate and/or convey the minor storm flow, that is, the rainfall runoff resulting from the subject site and any external tributary areas using the City’s 2-year design storm. The permissible minor storm discharge from the subject development must be limited to the existing pre-development site runoff resulting from a 2-year design storm. Any resulting post development runoff in excess of this permissible discharge rate must be controlled and detained within the plan of subdivision.
• The overland flow system within the plan of subdivision must be designed to accommodate and/or convey the major storm flow, that is, the rainfall runoff resulting from the subject site and any external tributary areas using the City’s 100-year design storm or Regional storm event, whichever is greater, without causing damage to proposed and adjacent public and private properties. The permissible major storm discharge from the subject development must be limited to the existing pre-development runoff resulting from a 100-year design storm or Regional storm event, whichever is greater.
• A hierarchical approach to stormwater management must be followed as described by the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks and as amended by City of Greater Sudbury most recent Storm Water Management Guide and Engineering Design Standards.
• “Enhanced” level must be used for the design of stormwater quality controls as defined by the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks.
• Stormwater management must further follow the recommendations of the Junction Creek Subwatershed Study.
• The drainage catchment boundary including external tributary catchments, and their respective area must be clearly indicated with any stormwater management plan.
• The final grading of the lands shall be such that the surface water originating on or tributary to the said lands, including roof water from buildings and surface water from paved areas, will be discharged in a manner satisfactory to the General Manager of Growth and Infrastructure.
• If a wet pond is proposed, the wet pond is to meet the criteria of the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks Stormwater Management Planning and Design Manual latest edition, including but not limited to Table 4.6 Wet Pond – Summary of Design Guidance. Side slopes greater than 3:1 will not be permitted including retaining walls.
• The bottom of the Stormwater Management Facility/Facilities is to be at a higher elevation than the seasonal high groundwater level (i.e. water table).
• If the Stormwater Management Facility/Facilities propose infiltration, the receiving soil layer must have an infiltration rate of greater than or equal to 15 mm/hr, and underlying bedrock and seasonal high groundwater level (i.e. water table) is to be equal to or greater than 1 m below the bottom of the proposed facility.
• Capacity of all swales to be included in the Stormwater Management Report.
• Where drainage from the existing or future right-of-way is conveyed between residential properties, a block is required. Drainage easements are only permitted for the conveyance of drainage of runoff from private properties only.
• Minor storm drainage from the plan of subdivision shall not be drained overland onto adjacent properties.
• Existing drainage patterns on adjacent properties shall not be altered unless explicit permission is granted.
The owner shall be responsible for the design and construction of any required stormwater management works to the satisfaction of the General Manager of Growth and Infrastructure as part of the servicing plans for the subdivision and the owner shall dedicate the lands for stormwater management works as a condition of this development.”
4. By deleting Condition #28 in its entirety.
“28. That prior to the signing of the final plan, the owner/applicants shall contact the Sudbury District Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP), and satisfy all requirements set out of the Province of Ontario under the Endangered Species Act, 2007. In addition, the owners/applicants shall, to the satisfaction of the Director of Planning Services, demonstrate that all requirement set out by the Province of Ontario under the Endangered Species Act have been satisfied prior to any site alteration or development taking place on the subject lands.”
