(the “Applicant” etain a rail safety consultant to assess the development proposal sit relates toa single industrial spur rll rack that uns adjacent to the properties at 56-60 Felday Road (the Project” or Sit’) Hatch has been retained by Stowe Holdings Ltd. to complete this assessment. This letter reviews the development proposal ‘against the most recent industry guidelines for development in proximity to rail infrastructure to ensure (a) the development proposal aligns with the guidelines; and (b) adequate mitigation measures are being undertaken. ‘The Sites bound by Fieldway Road tothe southeast, a Hydro One corridor to the northwest, and industrial and residential uses tothenortheast and southwest.

Asindustrial activity in the area declines over ‘time and land use patterns change, the frequency of approximately 2 or less trains per day, is anticipated to decline. The applicable guidelines for development in proximity to ral are the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) the Railway ‘Association of Canada (RAC) Guidelines for New Development in Proximity to Railway Operotions (2013) and the City of Toronto's Land Use Study: Development in Proximity to Rall Operations Guidelines (2019), include specific recommendations for development adjacent to or in close proximity tospur lines as follows: 1. Sethacks: The recommended building setback for new residential redevelopment adjacent to spur lines is 15 metres. 2. Safety Barrier: There are no requirements for a safety barir for new developments adjacent toa spur ine track 3. _ Noise Mitigation: The recommended minimum noise influence area when undertaking noise studies along a spur line track is t5 ewes ‘The ste plan for 56-60 Fieldway Road and the Area H Industrial Track are shown in Figure 2 below. of "Figure 2: Proposed Development Site (Source: TACT Architecture) [A15-metre building setbacks proposed from the Area H Industral Track (propery line), shown in Figure 3below tomeet the recommended guidelines.

The FCM/RAC Guidelines state: “appropriate uses within the setback area include public ond private roads porkiand and other outdoor recreational space including backyards, swimming pools, anal tennis courts, unenclosed gazebos; garages and other parking structures, and storage sheds" (pg 28). The proposed ‘outdoor recreation space within the 15-metre setback ofthe industrial rack is consistent withthe applicable guidelines. ‘At the eastem end ofthe property, the small land parcel severed by the Area H Industrial Trackis proposed as a public park and ‘outdoor recreation space which, as a non-sensitiv, low occupancy land use is also considered an acceptable use within proximity othe industrial spur ine track. Lastly, as part ofthis review the possibilty ofa train derailment along the industrial spur ine track s considered. Using the AECOM Development of Crash Wal Design Loads fram Theoretical Tran impact for AECOM Guidelines) energy balance analysis (Method 2, the resutsindicate that a train traveling t the maximum allowable speed of 7mph onthe industrial spur line track would not reach the subject property line. Further, a train traveling along the industrial spur line track would theoretically hve to travel in excess of 75mph (more than 10x te allowable speed) to each the face ofthe proposed development. ‘The results ofthe rail safety assessment indicate the new development plans proposed at 56-60 Fieldway Road align with ‘the most recent guidelines and requirements for new development in proximity of rll spur lines, specifically ‘+The 15-metre setback to the face ofthe planned building is consistent with the standard setback requirement for rail spur line tracks; + Anoise study will be completed to evaluate transportation-related noise impacts (including rail) on the development proposal; © 41.83metre-high security fence wll be installed to deter trespassing, ‘© The proposed uses in the 15-metre setback area are acceptable non-sensitive uses, and ‘© Derailment protection inthe form of a safety barriers not required and is not planned, sincere ahs Latha Ueda Tae end Fcren Ween Constant, amer Serial Engineer ‘Attachment(s / Enclosures: ‘© AppendivA: Roll Corridor Details ‘© Appendix 8: oil Operator Correspondence ‘och ana lrg eens, ncn eligi the ie of iedocament ris ons, aessen FletyRond HATCH ‘Appendix A: Rail Corridor Details ‘och 2021 lrg resent, nang eltingtothe we of isdocarent ris ones, ageEast Division Time Table No 12, Module 4.2 Galt Subdivision ~ Effective at 1200 March 23, 2018 00 oa 10 414 32 GALT SUBDIVISION FOOTNOTES RADIO 02 Engineering Serce Rei East of Guth act 4311064 on CP 20 Zone Code (2): jest of Gu om ona 3 West of Guelph Jt “eat ot on GP 20 West of Gus Jt ‘ HOT BOX DETECTOR SYSTEM WESTWARD TOGRTIOW EASTWARD WEPEGTON | SETOFF | GOSECS [wicaancny] BMF | GOISEES | WSPECTION | —SETOFF pont | ‘ron’ | Treware coe __| freware | pont” | “pont zag) [sone score ies [oie woe Fash iste [Betre ee Nace rest 86 (3) wO08644 scam toe Sigal torah 2180 Noo) | wes Bare Sra 12752 oF 275-3 | service track ** [aso Souny| —sonia4e [oozor 203. |Steetovlle dot Batre Sal core Sorat Bee usin [ae roraess | ve _[eet ooh Je Bete rier [a [esa oe Es * SHAT ncoatack [esa eens | ee (RST lotto Bete Sarat eae Sa bea sou Soo vooeess | ew _‘[eeh ova [ HED wa ao warenfimoverin! gh, and whe a Gc doled wi ao Wane AT cr 10 nunberife com EQUIPMENT RESTRICTIONS, Crane and Auxiliary — 414216 to 414232; 30 MPH on bridges miles 2.62, 3.81, and 4.45, DANGEROUS COMMODITIES GOI Section §, item 1.1 applies to all movements originating at Lambton and Quebec St. Key trains and all movements handling one or more full carloads, containerioads, or tralerioads of SPECIAL dangerous commodities, unless a lower speed is otherwise preseribed, must not exceed: Between Miles [MPH 79 and_955 | 25 ss and 343 | 5 535 and 509 | 35) 7059" and 111.0 | 35 Loaded cars (not applicable to residue cars) contain- ing other dangerous goods, unless a lower speed is otherwise prescribed, must not exceed 35 MPH be- tween mile 4.9 and mile 9.55. 40 4a ‘SPEEDS Westward Freight Trains Eastward PH ‘ile (Track) MPH 30 Tao _42 a 30 4249 30, 50 4966 30 25 68 73 (NOT) 25 50 88 to 73 No] 50.

We appreciate that this is a change to. what was previously provided by our group. Further, rail traffic data is merely a snapshot in time, and traffic volumes are subject to fluctuation as a function of market demand. Information that | am able to share would be that current operations along any CP track include regular freight trains travelling through, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. With these operations, engines are constantly running and the operations are continuous, loud and cause a lot of vibration. Rail traffic volume on any part of our North American network is a function of market demand. Traffic volumes fluctuate regularly as market demand for goods and commodities shifts or as export patterns change and does not have a set schedule. . Any development near railway infrastructure should assume the potential for frequent train activity at any time of the day or night, on any day of the year. There is also the possibility of increasing operations in future being increased, including adding or moving track or any other railway related use.
