Community Association
·
E-mail dated 25 April 2011 from Ted Fobert on behalf

·
Memo dated 8 March 2011 from Carlos Da Silva,
Paterson Group/TEGA Developments.
Taavi Siitam, Planner provided an overview of the staff report and
recommendation by means of a PowerPoint Presentation, a copy of which is held
on file with the City Clerk.
Committee heard from the following public delegations:
Paulette Dozois, Linda Hoad and Pat O’Brien* spoke on behalf of the Hintonburg CommunityAssociation. They were generally in support of the report,
with some exceptions. Their specific recommended amendments are outlined in
their written submission.
Michael Polowin, Ted Fobert, and Barry Padolsky* spoke on behalf of Metcalfe Realty, owners of the properties at 7
Hinton Avenue and 281 and 258 Armstrong Street. Though his client’s initial position was that
more development potential should have been made available in the area, Mr.
Polowin indicated that they were prepared to support of the report and
recommendations, subject to the recommended amendments outlined in their
written submission. He emphasized that
their approval was contingent on current planning context for the CDP
area. Thus, should the planning context
change as a result of height/density increases on other properties in the area,
Metcalfe would reserve the right to seek appropriate density increases on its
properties.
Ted Fobert spoke on behalf of Claridge Homes, in
opposition report as presented. Specifically,
he argued against the proposed six-storey height limit proposed for his
client’s property at 1050 Somerset Street. He suggested that the
characteristics of the property were more similar to those across the road,
which were located in a Carling-Bayview Light Rail Transit Corridor Community
Design Plan study area, noting that study was looking at significantly higher densities
and heights. He noted that the site was within a short distance of a major
transit hub, and the City’s policies point to higher height and density at such
locations.
Randy Kemp, as Chair of the Wellington
West Business Improvement Area (BIA), spoke specifically to the issue of shared
parking. He supported the allowance for shared parking in the Mixed-Use Centre (MC)
Zone and argued that shared parking should be further extended to the
Traditional Mainstreet (TM) Zone so that shared parking in this zone would not
be limited to instances where parking on a site is in excess of the Zoning
By-law. He spoke to the increasing pressures on parking in the area from the
reconstruction of Wellington Street, and development with limited parking for
Commercial uses. He argued that shared parking would allow businesses to more
efficiently manage parking in the area.
Speaking for himself as an owner of commercial property in the area,
Mr. Kemp also commented on the site at 7 Hinton Avenue and the blocks bounded
by Holland Avenue, Armstrong Street, Spencer Street and Parkdale Avenue. He was
supportive of the eight-storey height limit and the density transfer for 7
Hinton Avenue. He further indicated that
he would support even more density if the development had a residential
component and could remediate some of the environmental problems associated
with the block.
Lloyd Phillips and Carlos Da Silva* spoke on behalf of
Tega Developments in opposition to the report recommendations as presented. Mr.
Phillips argued against the proposed eight storey height limit as it applied to
his client’s properties at 233 Armstrong Street and 3 Hamilton Avenue. He noted that as part of the redevelopment of
the properties they were planning cleanup of the significant soil contamination
on the site. They felt the proposed height limit would be a disincentive for
environmental remediation, would result in under-using the site, and would be
in opposition to the Provincial Policy Statement and the City’s Official Plan
(OP) strategic directions with respect to directing intensification. Mr. Da Silva
of the Paterson Group provided an overview of the proposed strategy for
environmental remediation on the Tega property, as summarized in a written memo
held on file with the City Clerk. The
strategy would involve building a deeper underground parking lot, and
consequently the developer would be seeking to build in excess of eight
stories. Mr. Phillips argued recommended
deferring his client’s site out of the CDP, allowing the developer to work with
the community and bring forward a rezoning application to the City.
*Written comments and/or presentation held on
file with the City Clerk.
The
report recommendations were put to Committee and CARRIED, as presented,
with the following directions
to staff:
DIRECTIONS TO
STAFF:
That staff review
the following suggested amendments, and work with the Ward Councillor and
interested parties to see which can be incorporated into the plan.
• Amendments recommended by the
Hintonburg Community Association, as outlined in their written submissions.
• Amendments recommended by the agents
for Metcalfe Realty, as outlined in their written submission.
• Recommendations from the Wellington
West BIA to extend shared parking to the Traditional Mainstreet Zone.
And that staff
provide to the Ward Councillor for her consideration with respect to potential
exceptions to the plan in cases of Brownfields requiring remediation.
And that all the
above be done before the matter is considered by City Council, so that motions
can be brought forward at Council to make changes where appropriate.

At the beginning of the meeting, at the suggestion
of the Chair, Councillor Clark, Councillor Harder and staff met with
representatives of the community and the applicant to see if they could reach
any agreement to re-orient some of the density on the site. Following these discussions, Councillor
Harder moved a motion to adjust the height schedule, as indicated below.
Melanie
Knight, Planner, provided an overview of the rezoning application and staff’s
rationale for recommending approval. A copy of her PowerPoint presentation is
held on file with the City Clerk.
Committee heard from the following public delegations:
Neil Meisner, resident of Prince Albert
Street, spoke in opposition to the report recommendations as presented. While
he did not oppose development or densification in the neighbourhood, he felt
the current proposal was not appropriate.
He felt the proposal was out of scale and character with the surrounding
neighbourhood, which is characterized by smaller scale development, and would have
a negative impact on surrounding residents. He expressed disappointment with
the process and staff’s support of the proposal.
Allan Palister, resident of Presland
Road, spoke in opposition to the report recommendations as presented, for the
following reasons: the setback at Presland Road was too small; there would be
shadowing impacts on surrounding residences; the development would exacerbate
the lack of street parking for visitors; and the height was excessive. He supported
the redistribution of height to the Vanier Parkway side of the site.
Scott Richardson,* resident of Prince Albert
Street, spoke in opposition to the report recommendations as presented. He expressed disappointment with staff’s
treatment of the application, suggesting it was not objective. He provided a
critique of the staff report, as outlined in his written submission held on
file.
David Stambrook,* resident of Glynn
Street, spoke in opposition to the report recommendations as presented. Specifically, he spoke about the traffic concerns
related to the rezoning application and the proposed site access intersection
on the Vanier Parkway, as outlined in his written submission held on file.
Roy Hanna,* resident of King George Street, spoke in
opposition to the report recommendations as presented. Specifically, he spoke to the density, height
and compatibility concerns related to the proposed rezoning application, as
outlined in his written submission held on file.
Sheila Perry, President, Community Council of Overbrook,*
spoke in opposition to the report recommendations. She requested that Committee
not approve the rezoning application as the density and height limits being
sought were incompatible with the scale and nature of the surrounding
neighbourhood. A
written copy of her comments is held on file.
Randy
Bent, resident of Presland Road, spoke
in opposition to the report recommendations as presented. He questioned
whether the traffic study had taken into account the impact of other
development taking place in the area. He
also sought the City’s water and sewer studies, expressing concern that the
development would create significant runoff. He agreed with his neighbours that the
development was not compatible with the neighbourhood.
Rawlson
King,* resident of Glynn Avenue, spoke in opposition to the
report recommendations as presented. He cited Randall Denley’s 26 April 2011
Ottawa Citizen column on the proposed development,
which noted there was little to recommend it.
He argued that the proposed development would be too high, too dense,
create too much gridlock on the Vanier Parkway during rush hour, negatively
impact parking on surrounding streets and reduce the privacy of surrounding
neighbours.
Joshua P. Moon and Joel Pinsky* spoke
on behalf of Presland Investment Corporation, owners of the adjacent 161
Presland Road. They were opposed the proposed development. Mr. Moon argued that
the development did not have a compelling design, and would have negative
impacts on their property, as outlined in the written submission held on file.
He also questioned whether the rental market in the area could sustain it. They supported the redistribution of further
height to the Vanier Parkway side of the site, beyond what was proposed in the
motion.
Nancy Meloshe, Michael Flainek and Douglas Kelly spoke on behalf
of the applicants, Groupe Lepine, in support of the application. Ms. Meloshe spoke to proposed development,
raising the following points:
·
The proposed development supports the policies of
the Provincial Policy Statement, the Official Plan (OP), and the City’s
strategic directions in OP Amendment 76 and meets the tests for compatibility
and community design as outlined in sections 2.5.1 and 4.11 of the OP.
·
It is an underutilized site with institutional
zoning and excellent access to transit, and direct access off the Vanier
Parkway would eliminate traffic impact on Presland Road and minimize impact on
the surrounding community.
·
The developer feels the proposed heights, density
and massing are appropriate for the area and make economic sense for the
developer, and have appropriate terracing and setbacks.
·
She proposed that there would be 40 metres between
the wall of the proposed development and that of 161 Presland Road.
She also reviewed the drawings submitted to the City
for the application, highlighting the specifics of the design, heights and
setbacks.
Mr. Flainek, the transportation consultant, provided
an overview of the Transportation Impact Study (held on file) and its
recommendations, suggesting the proposed traffic volumes would be minimal
relative to the overall volumes on the Vanier Parkway. He noted the study used
a conservative modal split, and background traffic growth rate, and suggested
average Vanier Parkway traffic volumes were declining. The existing pedestrian-actuated signal at
the location of the proposed site access would become a signalized intersection
that would be coordinated with other intersections along the Parkway, resulting
in minimal impact.
Mauril
Bélanger and John Higney* were also present in opposition to the
application, but unable to stay for the discussions.
*Written comments and/or presentation are
held on file with the City Clerk.
