I , 1.0 TOWN OF KINCARDINE PROPOSED COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT PLAN INTRODUCTION The purpose of this plan is to guide the community improvement process in the Town of Kincardine. This plan outlines the Town of Kincardine's goals and objectives for communi ty improvement, the cr iter ia that is used for the selection of the community improvement area, description of proposed improvements, the phas ing of these improvements and the method of implementation. This plan has been prepared on the basis of interviews with town staff. boards and committees. reviews of available pertinent studies, input from community service organizations and windshield surveys. From these sources a list of potential improvements has been prepared. With an ever increasing demand on the public treasury for greater spending to upgrade public facilities a program of planned community improvement is required to make the most efficient use of available public funds. The principal behind developing a community improvement plan includes local public initiatives that are oriented towards economic development or redevelopment, strengthening the local tax base, and ensuring cost effective public spending. As a result the community improvement policies and plans act as a guide for decisions on municipal expenditures and the land use planning process in Kincardine. Several advantages for a comprehensive community improvement plan become apparent, including : 1) A comprehensive plan which can be referenced by council for priorizing projects and funding for various groups during the annual preparation of the municipal budget; 2) A comprehensive plan facilitates the scheduling of improvements in an orderly fashion to ensure a high degree of efficiency in terms of maximizing public benefits, minimizing costs and ensuring that all components of an improvement project have been included; and 3) Improving the municipality's chances of successfully applying and receiving funds from provincial and federal departments for the proposed communi ty improvement projects in this municipality. . . , 2.0 2.1 2 GOALS AND OBJECTIVES GOALS The Community Improvement Goals contained in the Kincardine Official Plan provide for a wide range of Community Improvements. Wi thin the parameters of these goals five community improvement themes have been developed with goals that compliment the goals contained in the Official Plan.

Firstly. it inventories existing characteristics of Kincardine, its population. housing. land use. deficiencies and its economy. Secondly, it will identify features. areas or projects which require improvements in some manner and consequently can be considered as an appropriate Community Improvement project. The Town of Kincardine is located on the eastern shores of Lake Huron in the southwes tern corner of Bruce County. (Figure 1). The Town of Kincardine covers an area of approximately 769 hectares (1900 acres) and in 1986 had a population of 5,850 persons. Access to Kincardine is by means of two Provincial Highways. Highway No. 21 which provides access from the north and south and Highway No. 9 which provides access from the east. Municipalities adjacent to the Town of Kincardine are Huron Township to the south and Kincardine Township to the east and north. The Town of Kincardine acts as the focus for commercial, recreational and cultural acti vi ties in southwestern Bruce County. 3.1 POPULATION Table 1 profiles the population of Kincardine. Between 1981 and 1986 the Town of Kincardine's population increased by 1.3% or 75 people. In each census year since 1966, Kincardine has witnessed a growth in population and the increase in 1986 is a continuation of this trend. however it lS the smallest lncrease since 1986. The To,,¡n of Kincardine accounts for 9.9% of Bruce County's total population. In the intervening five years between 1981 and 1986, changes have occurred to the size of each age group in Kincardine (Table 1). In Kincardine, the age groups which have experienced an increase in their population, were the elementary school (5 - 14), established labour force (35- 54) and senior citizens (65 +) age groups. The largest increase was accounted for by the established labour force age group (21.7%). Conversely, infants (0-4), secondary school (15-19) and new labour force entrants (20-34) age groups all experience reduction in their populations, with the new labour force entrants recording the largest decrease ( 14.4%) .

In Kincardine the majori ty (ìO%) of dwelling units were owner occupied in 1986. The residential housing stock can be divided into two distinct groups. Pre-1970's development which includes the original homes in Kincardine and the post-1970's era, most of these homes were built as a result of rapid growth experienced by the Town in association with the Bruce Nuclear Power Development. Of the Town's housing stock 45% was built prior to 1970, while 55% or 1,190 dwelling units were built after 1970 (Table 4). - . . 8 TABLE 2 HOUSEHOLD AND FAMILY CHARACTERISTIC KINCARDINE TO~NSHIP AND KINCARDINE Kin Township % Change '81-'86 Kincardine 1981 1986 % Chane '81-'86 Household Type Total Household -0.5 2075 2110 1 . ì Total Family Households 0.0 1515 1555 2.6 Non-Family Households -8.0 555 545 -1.8 Avg. ~ Persons/Household -3.0 2.8 2.7 -3.6 ~ Total Families 0.6 1525 1570 3.0 Husband-Wife Families 0.0 1415 1430 1.1 Lone Parent Families 16.7 110 135 22.7 Avg. # Persons/Family 6.1 3 . 3 3 . 3 0.0 Avg. # Chi Idren/Family -6.3 1.4 1.3 -7.1 SOURCE: Statistic Canada; 1981 & 1986 Census of Canada. - . .

In Kincardine, since 1985, only three types of new dwellings have been issued building permits. These three types were single detached units, mobile homes and apartment unl ts. Since 1985, 85 residential permits were issued for new single detached dwellings Wl th over one-half (56 I being issued in 1988. This represents an average of approximately 21 new single detached permits being issued every year since 1985. The other growing part of Kincardine's housing stock results from permits issued for a 30 unit apartment building in 1988 and 3 permits issued for mobile homes issued in 1985. The number of permits issued for new commercial and industrial purposes generally increased from 1985 to 1988. In this intervening time period, 10 commercial and 7 industrial building permits were issued; with 5 of the commercial and 2 of the industrial permits being issued in 1988. A common measure of the intensity of the building activity is the estimated value of all types of permits which includes new construction as well as renovation and additions. In 1985 the estimated value of building permits was approximately $2.5 million In 1986 the value of building activity declined to $1.7 million, however in 1987 and 1988 the value of building increased significantly to $4.2 million in 1987 and tripled to $12.5 million in 1988. 3.5 BUILDING CONDITIONS . The following observations on building conditions have been made. The commercfal buildings stock in Kincardine is generally in good condition with a wide variety of styles emphasized. Newer commercial buildings are located north of the established Central Business District and along Broadway and Kincardine Ave. Generally these newer buildings are in good to excellent condition however. the few older commercial buildings in these areas are in average to good condition. In the Central Business District many of the buildings were built in the late 19th century and early 20th century. These buildings which are located primarily along Queen Street are in average to good condition. The types of improvement to commercial buildings along Queen Street that may be required include updating and maintenance of facades and other exterior features of these stores. . . . 12 TABLE 5 1985 BUILDING PE&~IT ACTIVITY 1986 Type (new construction only) Single Family Dwelling 2 ~obile Home 3 Apartment Bldg. 0 Commercial 1 Industrial 1 Insti tutional 6 Estimated Value of All Types of Construction 2,521,494 9 o o 3 1 1 1,728,078 Source: Town of Kincardine, Chief Building Official 1987 18 1 1 3 o 4,231,024 1988 56 o 1 5 2 o 12,505,180 -- 13 I Res idential hous ing stock \,;hich can be di v ided in to t,w distinct groups. The pre-19ìO development. ~hich includes the original homes in the town. and post-I970 era. ~hich includes most of the homes developed as a result of rapid expansion of the Bruce ~uclear Power Development. As a result much of the area east of Park St., north of Mechanics Ave. and south of Kincardine Ave. have been built since the 19ìO's and generally the condition of these buildings are good to excellent. In the post 1970's areas of Kincardine, approximately 20% of residences are in excellent condi tion, 75% are in good and 25% are in average condi tion (Minis try of Revenue Assessment Data, 1988). Whereas the older residential neighbourhood in the town the majori ty of the residences are in good condition however the likelihood of homes needing improvements both cosmetic and structural is greater. In the pre 1970's. areas of Kincardine approximately 4% of residences were in excellent condition while 51%, 38%, 6% and 1% are in good, average, fair and poor condition respectively (Ministry of Revenue. Assessment Data, 1988). The institutional buildings in the town are also generally in good condition. although the Town Hall needs renovations to improve space, usage and exterior of the building. The Li brary, also in good condi tion, requires more space to display it's collection as well as making the building accessible to the handicapped. The Davidson Centre building has been well maintained, but the grounds surrounding the building require improvements such as paving of parking lot, and interior improvements such as air conditioning and replacement of fans. 3.6 AVAILABILITY OF RESIDENTIAL, COMMERCIAL & INDUSTRIAL LANDS The reserve of residential land is made up of lots available in approved, draft and proposed plans of subdivisions and lands designated for residential use in the Town of Kincardine's Official Plan. In January of 1988, in Kincardine there were approximately 137 single detached building lots available (Table 6). This estimate includes lots in existing approved Plans of Subdivision and potential infilling lots in the established parts of the Town of Kincardine. In addi tion, there is approximately 327 lots in approved Plans of Subdivision which are awaiting installation of municipal services. There are no draft plans of subdivision in Kincardine. Proposals for residential plans of subdivision on 8.5 hectares (21 acres) have been drafted for Kincardine. Finally, an additional 36 hectares (90 acres) of vacant land has been designated in the Kincardine Official Plan for residential purposes. It should be noted that most of these lands lie along the Penetangore River and therefore . . . 14 TABLE 6 Supply of Residential Building Lot (Jan. 1988) Existing Lots in Approved Plans of Subdivision including infilling 137 Approved Plan Waiting Services 327 Draft o Proposed 8.5 ha. ~ 170 lots Designated Land 32.2 ha ~ 646 lots . . 3.ì 15 would be more difficult and pOSSIbly more expensIve to develop. Vacant land designated Commercial and Industrial in the Town's Official Plan represents the Town's potential for expansion of commercial and industrial activities. In 1988. 166 acres (63 hectares) of land designated for industrial purposes were vacant; while 23 acres (9.3 hectares) of land were designated for highway commercial use in the Official Plan. Of the 23 acres of Highway Commercial land, approximately 5 acres 15 being considered for development at the time of writing of this report. There were no vacant lands des i gna ted for General Commercial purposes in the Town's core area. The majority of the vacant industrial and highway commercial lands in the Town of Kincardine are located in the southeast portion of the Town. Finally. interest has been shown for redevelopment of the Kincardine Harbour area and a study enti t led .. Small Craf t Harbour Fac il i ty Study. Kincardine Ontario" (Johnson, Sustronk, Weinstein and Associates, 1985) outlined a proposed development plan for the Harbour Area. In the harbour area a 2.8 hectare parcel of vacant land has been included in these development plans. Land Use Figure 2 illustrates the types and locations of the six principal uses of land in Kincardine as well as the spacial relationship between these uses. The dominant use of land in the Town of Kincardine is for residential purposes. Most of the residential land contains single family dwellings. hm,¡ever 3 and 4 storey walk-up apartment buildings and townhouse developments can be found in the newer parts of Kincardine that were developed after 1970. Post 1970 development can be found in areas generally east of Park Street and north of Mechanics Avenue. The Town's central commercial area is approximately 2 blocks in width and straddles Queen Street from the Penetangore River north to Broadway Street. All other commercial areas including the central commercial area lie on the former Highway No. 21 route. The remaining commercial areas except for Sutton Park Mall tend to be used for highway commercial purposes, while the Sutton Park Mall in the northeast corner of the Town provides a wide range of commercial services. f e- · - · TOWN OF KINCARDINE ¡ ¡ · , , -, . -.,.......J;~ , · --..------ · · i COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT PLAN FIGURE 2 LAND USE · Eæ OPEN SPACE ~ COMMERCIAL ......... !p1.~..· .

The Town's Industrial Park is located in the south end of Kincardine south of Bruce Street and east of Penetangore Row. Institutional uses which include municipal buildings. schools and recreation facili ties are scattered around Kincardine "i th their locations determined by the need and availability of land for the proposed institutional use. The large institutional block of land in the south end of Kincardine contains the Town's sewage lagoons, sanitary landfill site and a cemetery. Open Space use which includes both parkland and hazard lands tend to be located along the Penetangore River or one of its tributaries and along the Lake Huron Shore. Finally. the bulk of vacant lands are located in the southeast part of the Town. roughly defined as the area east of Park Street and south of the Penetangore River. 3,8 ECONOMIC ACTIVITY Kincardine's labour force increases by 3.3% so that in 1986, Kincardine had a 2,640 member labour force (Table ì). The principal labour force activities are service, manufacturing, trade and communication and utility industries. These four industrial activities encompasses approximately 84% of the work force. The largest component, service industries. accounted for 23.3% of the labour force. For clarification, service industries includes such activities as services to business, education and health services, accommodation food and beverage services, amusement and recreation services and personal services. Communication and uti Ii ties industries would include the employees of the Bruce Nuclear Power Development and trade industries includes the wholesale and retail trade outlets. Changes which have occurred to the Kincardine labour force since 1981 were: 1. That only communication and utility industries decreased in the size of their labour force; 2. Service. manufacturing and trade industries experienced an increase in the size of their labour force; and 3. In terms of rank by labour force size, manufacturing risen significantly, 656% and in 1986 ranked 2nd compared to its 7th place ranking in 1981. In Kincardine, the principal economic activities which drive Kincardine's economy are tourism, the BNPD and manufacturing.

Compared to agriculture and manufacturing, which are likely to show very little growth. the tourist sector continues to enjoy a long term sectoral growth pattern as a result of increasing disposable income as well as changing life styles and values in our society. ., (Economic Planning Group, 1981, Page 1) In Kincardine and surrounding area in 198ì, it was estimated that approximately 133,000 people visited Kincardine and its surrounding area and spent approximately $10.5 Million (Ministry of Tourism and Recreation, 1987). BRUCE NUCLEAR POWER DEVELOPMENT The Bruce Nuclear Power Development is a major employer in Kincardine and for most of the south Bruce lakeshore municipalities. In 1988. 959 of the Bruce Nuclear Power Deve lopment 3,771 employees res ided in Kincardine. Forecasts by Ontario Hydro estimate that manpower will increase to 4,500 by the end of 1989 and remain at this level until 1993. MANUFACTURING There are few manufacturing establishments in Kincardine, however the development of the Bruce Energy Centre is expected to draw high energy consumption industries and that some spinoff industrial and commercial development will locate in the Town of Kincardine. By 1997 the anticipated labour force at the Bruce Energy Centre is estimated at 2,200 with a further increase to 3,100 by the year 2005 (Ontario Hydro 1981). . 3.10 . . 19 PUBLIC SERVICES Water The Town of Kincardine's municipal water system has been designed to accommodate and service a population of 15,000. At present water storage and water filtration facilities can accommodate a capacity of 11,800 and 9,250 person respectively. At present the town has no water reserves. However, expansion of filtration capacity which is anticipated to be completed within two years would increase the capacity to approximately 1,857 persons. This expanded filtration capacity is required to accommodate development in the south end of town. Sanitary Sewers The Town treatment estimated capacity persons. of Kincardine and Kincardine's municipal sewage plant has been designed to accommodate an population of 10,000 persons. At present reserve of the town's sanitary sewer system is 2323 Storm Sewers The Town of Kincardine relies on a network of storm sewers to remove excess storm water or surface runoff water. Solid Waste Disposal The Town of Kincardine landfill site is located in the south end of the municipal i ty adjacent to the town's sewage lagoons. The town's landfill site has almost reached it's capacity. For the short term. Kincardine has received approval for an interim expansion to the land fill site which will give capacity for an additional 3-5 years. Transportation A hierarchal network of roads provides access to Kincardine and it's neighboring municipalities. The highest order of roads in the network are provincial Highways 21 and 9. These highways provide regional access to Kincardine and the lakeshore municipalities of Bruce County. Second level of roads is the Bruce County roads network. The only county road which directly links up with Kincardine's road network is Count,' Road #23 which provides access to the resort residential area north of the town. The third level in the road hierarchy are local roads that are maintained by the Town of Kincardine. The majority of the Town of Kincardine's roads have been constructed to the ~inistry of Transportation's urban road standard. 20 The TOh'n facilities line. of I~incardine no lon~er has rail transport due to the removal of the Kincardine subdivision . Kincardine and surrounding areas serviced by alr transport through the Kincardine Town and Township ètunicipal Airport, which is locat.ed in Kincardine Township. Regular flights to and from Pearson International Airport in Toronto will be instituted at the Kincardine Town and Township Municipal Airport beginning in 1990. The second facility for air transport is the helicopter pad located to the rear of the Kincardine District General Hospital which is also located in Kincardine Township. A t the mouth of the Penetangore River in the Town 0 f Kincardi ne is Kincardine Harbour. Kincardine Harbour is owned by the federal government and is under control and administration of the Small Craft Harbours branch of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, Canada.

EDUCATION Three public elementary schools and one separate elementary school are located in Kincardine. There is also one secondary school, Kincardine District Secondary School, which is also located in the town. . -- 21 RECREATION FACILITIES . The focus of recreational activities for the majority of the residents in the lakeshore municipalities of southwestern Bruce County is the Town of Kincardine. The orientation to Kincardine is due in part to the presence of such facilities as Davidson Communi ty Centre. Kincardine Li brary, sports facilities at Connaught Park and Davidson Centre, Kincardine Harbour, public beaches and private club facilities such as Legion Hall. These facilities provide a range of sporting and social opportunities. In addition, smaller recreational facilities, such neighbourhood parks, ball diamonds or meeting rooms can be found throughout the town. In 1982, the Town of Kincardine completed its Culture and Recreation Master Plan. The following conclusions have been taken from the Background Report and relate use of and need for recreation and cultural facilities in the Town: "that the land resources are plentiful particularly at the neighbourhood level. and no need exists to acquire more land except for special purposes such as the river valleys or CNR lands; that the beach areaS need significant municipal recreation are underdeveloped upgrading both and tourism; and for that the river valleys are a unique but underutilized and underdeveloped resource and public access should be ensured; that the supply of recreation facilities is generally good, with some localized needs and upgrading required along with resolution of the Penetangore Park problem; that the cultural facilities are inadequate related to use and service levels and need a major upgrading, primarily with regard to the Library; that the opportunity system weighted towards programs for the ages of 8 and 18 years of some change is occurring; is heavily boys between age although . 22 that Kincardine will continue to serve as a regional cuI ture and recreation si te due to the Community Centre Complex {Davidson Centre I; . that the Community Centre is the focus of recreational activity but has selected deficiencies that, if upgraded, could expand utilization significantly; that the Library is facility and has functional operating in the building." the primary cultural serIOUS space and deficiencies inherent COMMERCIAL SERVICES The Town of Kincardine contains the bulk of the commercial services found in southwestern Bruce County. The extent of commercial facilities include downtown shopping facilities, banking and other financial facilities, legal offices. automotive sales and service centres, accommodation establishments and entertainment facilities. In addition to the downtown business district the Sutton Park Mall contains a number of commercial businesses and is located in the northeast part of the town. The role of Kincardine as a centre for commerce is growing as evidenced by the expansion of the Central Business District northward along Queen Street and establishment of commercial enterprises along Hwy. 21. . ---...- -- . . LO . 23 DEFICIENCIES Based on available have been Figure 3. discussions with Town staff and the rev iew of studies and reports a wide range of deficiencies identified and are outlined in Tables 8 & 9 and The main commercial area, which runs along Queen street, from Durham Market north to Mechanics Avenue, is still a strong and vital part of the Town. Along with the Mall in the northeast part of Kincardine, the commercial sector functions as a service centre for the greater surrounding area. To maintain the attractiveness and vitality of the commercial core, improvements to some aspects of the physical facilities and amenities in the area are required. The area along Queen Street requires beautification improvements to the streetscape, such as planters benches. landscaping, sidewalks etc. ~Iany downtown buildings have already undergone facade improvements. but there are still more buildings that require improvements. The Town of Kincardine, like many small towns, has inherited a downtown parking problem. The original lot layout combined with the current needs of commercial businesses makes provision of on site parking difficult in many instances. Downtown off street parking is currently provided by a large municipal lot located on the east side of Queen Street in the south end of the Central Business District. With increases in commercial development northward along Queen Street this existing municipal lot is inadequate to meet the demand and too remote to provide parking facilities to commercial establishments located along Queen Street north. It is not possible to increase the amount of on-street parking without downgrading the functionality of Queen Street. and as the Central Business District continues to grOl'¡, this parking problem will Worsen. Related to the strengthening of the commercial core is the development of a business park to facilitate diversification of the economic base of the Town. In 1988 there were six industrial establishments in Kincardine which employed approximately 51 persons. To attract industrial enterprises to Kincardine which mayor may not be related to industries locating in the Bruce Energy Centre, the Town requires industrial land which has the services, access and image modern industrial businesses require. .

Pedestrian safe tv and comfort is of particular concern in the downtown and residential areas of the Town. Sections of the sidewalks in the downtown area are in poor condition and require replacing or upgrading. In many of the newer res idential areas, sidewalks are not present and in the older neighbourhoods either sidewalks are present and require upgrading or sidewalks are not present. The Town of Kincardine annually upgrades or builds sidewalks in various locations in the Town. The addition of stop lights at the intersection of Queen Street and Broadway Street has contributed greatly to pedestrian safety in the commercial core. Related to pedestrian safety and convenience is the Town's program of annually replacing old street lights with new high pressure sodium lights. The pre-1970 area of the Town contains the majority of the energy inefficient street lights. Kincardine offers a wide variety of recreational opportunities, from the natural recreation facilities provided by the harbour and beaches, to the pool. ice rink and health club at the Davidson Centre. Many of the parks and other recreational facilities throughout the town require renovation and expansion to keep pace with the increas ing demands of the public. The Town has 14 parks, excluding school facilities and the community centre, most of them are geared to active recreational pursuits, limiting the opportunities for passive recreational opportunities such as walking or picnicking. Al though there are many parks within the town, the southern part of town which is an older residential area, lacks a neighbourhood or community park. Di scuss ions wi th the Town's Recrea ti on Di rec tor and the Facilities Manager identified several improvements that are required for the Davidson Centre. Some of the deficiencies in the facilities are air conditioning for meeting rooms. replacement of the mammoth fans and paving of the parking lot. The Town has an excellent natural asset in the harbour and associated waterfront area and could be developed to a grea ter extent. The harbour is used to capaci ty now and expansion to accommodate increased demand should be considered. Increased facilities such as change facilities, an upgraded boardwalk, landscaping and commercial facilities would significantly upgrade the beach area as a municipal recreation and tourist facility. A preliminary development plan for the harbour area was prepared in 1985 which included harbour expansion, several commercial resort developments and an enhanced beach area. . ~. :'1 .-; 28 . Within the Town of Kincardine. deficiencies to cultural and social facilities have been identified which will require improvements to better serve the residents of the Town. The Library requires expansion and to be made accessible to the handicapped. Currently the Library is overcrowded and deficient with regard to space and operational functionality. The Needs Assessment Study for Kincardine Branch Librarv Addition (Appolni & Fisher, 1989) concluded that a library expansion is required. Also. the theatre located above the Town Hall requires renovation or a new home. The present facility necessitates a climb up a large flight of stairs, which may inhibit access for all ages. Other institutional buildings or facilities which are deficient in one manner or another are the Town Hall, Fire and Police buildings and the Tourist Hospi tali ty Centre. The Town Hall requires exterior renovations to counter the "progressive changes to the facade which has belittled the former beauty of its architecture so that the Town Hall can once again exude civic pride and prosperi ty" (Hi 11 and Borgal). The Fire Department and Police Department have recognized that their existing facilities are not meeting the demands being placed on them and with future growth they anticipate that these buildings will negatively affect the quality of service the Fire and Police Departments provide. The Tourist Hospitality Centre on Hwy. 21 is in need of renovation or replacement by a new building. Deficiencies with the existing building include structural problems, poor insulation and lack of basic hospitality facilities such as indoor washrooms. With tourism being a multi-million dollar business to Kincardine the image of the Tourist Hospitality Centre is critical to the promotion, attraction or accommodation of tourists. The Town of Kincardine has been continually updating hard services throughout the town. however discussions with the Town Engineer has identified areas in the Town which require servicing improvements. The majority of these improvements are located in the core area of the Town. These improvements include sanitary and storm sewer improvements, sidewalks, roads and street lighting. In the core area of the town the following areas require servicing improvements; Queen Street, Princes. Harbour and Broadway Streets and Huron Terrace. Outside of the core area of the town the following areas require hard service improvements; South, Durham, William and Queen Streets, Park Lane and the Connaught Park pumping station in the northern part of town. The area of town located between the north and south branches of the Penetangore River require sidewalks as none were included when this area was originally built. Areas that have been identified as requiring new hard services are . 29 . Goderich Street (sanitary sewersl, Bruce Avenue (road cons truction), and the area between Bruce Avenue and the southern Town boundary east of the cemetery (road construction). This latter road construction project is required to provide access to newly developing residential subdivisions south of Kincardine. Finally the intersection of Queen Street and Kincardine Avenue needs to be redesigned to improve traffic movement and safety. The area bounded by Huron Terrace. Harbour Street. Queen Street and Wellington Street is experiencing erosion and slope instability problems. Slope stability and erosion control studies. one by Golder Associates and another by D.H. Braun, identified serious erosion problems associated with the north bank of the Penetangore River. These reports recommended immediate implementation of measures to remedy the erosion problem. Resolution of the erosion problem is required to prevent loss of life or serious personal injury and to protect $2.4 million of commercial and $.2 million of residential property located at the top of the north bank of the Penetangore River. The basic environmental services, sewage treatment. water treatment and sanitary landfill facility, which the town provides are at or nearing the design capacity. The service which is in the most cri tical condition is the sani tary landfill site which has a remaining capacity of approximately three five years. The Town is currently pursuing permission for an interim expansion of the site to allow sufficient time for the Town to evaluate long term waste management options which include participation ln a County "ide waste management master plan or development of a "aste management plan which the Town will implement solely on its behalf. The remaining environmental services, "ater and sewage treatment. currently have capacity remaining in their purification facilities. However, if the rate of growth remains constant or increases expansion of these two facilities will be required. The Town of Kincardine is in the process of establishing a time frame when expansion of the water and sewage treatment plants will be required. Since 1982, the Town of Kincardine in co-operation with the Township of Kincardine has improved the Kincardine/Kincardine Township Municipal Airport. Improvements include construction of a 1,219 metre runway, taxi ways, terminal apron and improving navigation and landing aids. The remaining phase is the construction of a secondary runway of 585 metres in length to satisfy the cross winds needs of the airport. . 5.0 . . 30 COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT PROJECT AREA The Community Improvement project area (Figure 4) is identical to the Community Improvement Area as shown on Schedule 'B' to the Town of Kincardine Official Plan. The community improvement project area includes all lands within the corporate limits of the Town of Kincardine, as shown on Figure 4 of this plan. The boundaries of the area are; the Lake Huron shoreline to the west, the municipal boundary of Kincardine and Kincardine Township to the north, Hwy 21 in the east and the Kincardine-Huron Township boundaries to the south. The Town of Kincardine is not large enough that individual communities with separate identities have formed in the Town, rather municipal services. community facilities and commercial businesses have traditionally been established to service the entire municipality not specific areas within the municipali ty. I t is important to the Town that this comprehens i ve philosophy continue in the communi ty improvement plan. To continue this comprehensive philosophy it is necessary that all lands within the corporate limits of Kincardine be included as part of the community improvement project area. In Section C-8.3 of the Kincardine Official Plan, criteria for the selection of Community Improvement Project areas have been defined. With respect to these criteria the choice to include all of the Town of Kincardine is appropriate. Recognized deficiencies in the downtown commercial area include insufficient off-street parking for expanding commercial businesses in the north end of the central business district, the requirement to improve access for both vehicles and pedestrian and to improve traffic circulation in the north part of the central business district along Queen Street between Lambton and Broadway Streets. These improvements are required to bring the north end of Queen Street up to the same standard as Queen Street in the south end of the central business district. Finally the southwest corner of the CBD is threatened by the gradual erosion of the Penetangore River bank. This process of gradual erosion threatens commercial properties and the safety of those who live in these buildings in the southwest corner of the CBD. The Town of Kincardine has limited available serviced industrial land which is affecting the Town's ability to a ttract new industry and di versi fy the Town's economic base.

TOW"'I'''~ 0' ....._011 . 31 . In general, deficiencies have been identified Hith segments of the sanitary sewer, water, storm sewer and road networks. Principally, these deficiencies exist in the western half of the town. However, the most prominent deficiency which affects the entire town is the limited capacity of the Town's landfill site. Deficiencies have also been identified with respect to public facilities such as the Town Hall. Library, Fire Station and the Community Centre which are located in various parts of the Town. In addition to deficiencies, several opportunities exist in the project area. These opportunities include the ability to develop tourist attractions and recreation facilities through the development or redevelopment of existing. man made and natural resources. The principal resource with potential is Kincardine Harbour and the neighbouring Lakefront. The use of Kincardine Harbour which principally functions as a recreational harbour used by seasonal and transient boaters and sports fisherman is experiencing growth on an annual basis. The number of transient boaters using the harbour has risen by approximately 2.4% per year and the number of seasonal boaters has risen by approximately 5.9% per year (Small Craft Harbour Facilities Study. 1988). Currently the harbour does not have a well protected basin or docking facilities. This Study projected that the past growth rate would continue for Kincardine Harbour and that the affluent boaters would demand quality services, good dining and shops. To take full advantage of this potential boating market, Kincardine needs to expand its harbour, improve its waterfront by developing the lake front beaches and commercial facilities and by upgrading Harbour Street as a link tying the Queen Street business district with the ~arbour. An associate opportunity is the development of a 1 inear river park system along the Penetangore River. This park system would be physically linked to the Harbour and the redeveloped Station Beach. The development of a linear river park system and the redevelopment of Station Beach would be an attraction for tourists who travel by either boat or car. As well the Penetangore River Park System and the redeveloped lake front would be a major recreational facility for the residents of Kincardine. The two economic opportunities that are available to Kincardine are the Bruce Energy Centre and the growth in the retail and service sectors. The Bruce Energy Centre which is now fully serviced and has four energy consumptive businesses established is being aggressively marketed as a site for industries that have high energy needs. The growth in retail and service sector is due in part to the expanded tourism activities in this area and the expanded importance . 32 . of Kincardine as a commercial centre for southwest Bruce County. To take advantage of these two economic trends. the Town needs to provide such facility as a high profile service business park for secondary industry which mayor may not service the Bruce Energy Centre and facilities to complement the expanding commercial activities such as more off-street municipal parking. Finally, the Town has traditionally acted as a cultural centre for southwest Bruce County. Wi th a growing local economy, increases in population and a growing role as a focus of cultural and recreational activities opportunities exist to expand the variety and quality of cultural and recreational facilities available in the Town. The opportunities may include the development of a Community College campus, expanded library and theatre facilities. or expanded sporting facilities. Since 1984 the Town of Kincardine in conjunction with funding from private and public sources has invested approximately $7.9 million into Community Improvement projects.

Within each of these themes, a long range program consisting of a number of projects has been proposed. The series of projects which in the long term will achieve the goals and objectives of this plan and the Community Improvement Policies of the Official Plan are identified in Table 11 and their location within the Community Improvement Project area is shown on Figure 6(i)- 6(iv). The components of each of these Community Improvement Projects are listed in Appendix A. Table 11, in addition to listing the Community Improvement Projects identifies the relative priority and order of implementation, estimated cost and monitoring criteria or triggering mechanism for each project. The priority of each project indicates the importance of each project relative to other projects within the same or different theme as well as the order in which these projects will be implemented. 'A' being the highest priority project represents matters that the Town must do and which offer little or no discretion to Town Councilor projects which represent strategic initiatives for the Town. Consequently, it is these projects which will be completed first, however the order in which these 'A' priori ty projects are completed will be contingent on completing the necessary studies and on the manner and timing on receiving funding. 'B' priority projects represents initiatives that are important and would contribute greatly to the quality of life in the community. These projects would be initiated after the 'A' priority projects have been completed. 'C' and 'D' priority projects represent distant objectives which are important to the community and are proposed to be initiated after the 'A' and 'E' priority projects are completed. The costs included in Table 11 are estimates only and are based on the best available information about the scale, scope and composition of each project at the time of writing of this plan. It is acknowledged that the tendered price may vary from these estimates due to time or due to modifications to the project. Finally, for each project in Table 11. a trigger mechanism has been identified. The intent of the trigger mechanism is that it represents a key economic, social or environmental condi tion which if reali zed. would require the associated project to be initiated. The monitoring of these trigger mechanisms will assist in priori zing these and other community improvement projects in the future. A . .

Consequently. the availability of funding for any project is necessary to elevate the status of any project to an 'A' priority project. . - . ~ . . . 7.0 40 METHODS OF IMPLEMENTATION This plan has been prepared to help identify to the Town of Kincardine, community improvement projects that should be undertaken in the short and long term. Some of these projects may be outside of the financial capability of the Town, and assistance from senior levels of government or private investment may be required to undertake these projects. In the past, community improvement projects have been funded through a variety of sources and it is the intention of this Plan that funds from a variety of public and private sources will be used to implement the community improvement projects listed in Table 11. Past sources of funding included funding from; 1) the Town of Kincardine capital fund, 2) grants and or assistance from other local governments or agencies such as the County of Bruce or Saugeen Valley Conservation Authority, 3) Program for Renewal, Improvement, Development and Economic Revitalization (PRIDE) or similar program of the Ministry of Municipal Affairs, 4) other grants or loan programs of the Provincial or Federal government, 5) private individuals and firms, 6) private organizations such as Business Improvement Area and 7) community groups or organizations such as the Rotary or Kinsmen Clubs. The general philosophy of this Community Improvement Plan is to divide the proposed projects into Community Improvement themes. Wi thin these themes is a list of projects that should be undertaken as funding as other resources are available. Due to the lengthy implementation of some of these projects, the Town may require changes to be made to the Plan reflecting changes in attitudes or priorities. Any major change will require an amendment to this plan in the future. 8.0 . . 41 BENEFITS OF COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT The economic and social benefits associated with a comprehensive Community Improvement Plan are numerous. Redevelopment can lead to an increased tax base as well as increased employment both in construction and the operation and maintenance of new or improved facilities. Improving the Town also provides a great opportuni ty to diversify and enhance the social well being of a community. Places for public use and enjoyment contribute to civic pride, and improve the community image and enhanced economic advantages. More specifically, the projects proposed in the plan attempt to stimulate economic development and improve public services and facilities available to the residents of the Town. Enhancement of the downtown, development of a high profile harbour/lake front tourist attraction and a business park are public initiatives of the Town to compliment and bolster the economy of Kincardine and surrounding area. It is felt that the creation of a more diverse and dynamic economy will result in the retention of local disposable income which in the past has been spent in larger urban centres of Owen Sound, Kitchener or Guelph, the creation of new jobs, the establishment of new and the expansion of existing commercial and industrial businesses, improved commercial and industrial image and an increase in the amount of private, commercial and tourist investment in the community. Complemen ting the economic development ini tia t i ves, the improvements to community services and facilities desire to improve the quali ty of Ii fe for those people living and working in Kincardine. Improvements to environmental services such as the sanitary landfill site or the upgrading of the water and sanitary sewer systems, development of new parks, or the upgrading of the Davidson Centre, Town Hall, and Library are efforts to create a people oriented environment. The creation of a people oriented environment as a result of these community improvement projects wi II provide a healthier, safer and more attractive environment for 1 i ving, commerce. and the enjoyment of recreational pursuits or other forms of social interactions. Secondary benefits of increased levels of private investment is the maintenance and/or rehabilitation of the Town's existing housing stock and 'further investment in the creation of additional housing. .
