That Planning Committee recommend that Council approve:
1. The parcels shown in Document 3 as Schedules R36, R37, and R38 and Revised Schedule R34 to form the balance of the urban area expansion; and
2. An amendment to the Urban Tree Conservation By-law, By-law 2009-200, effective 28 September 2011, extending the application of the by-law to the parcels recommended to be added to the urban area.
Que le Comité de l’urbanisme recommande au Conseil d’approuver :
1. La présentation à la Commission des affaires municipales de l’Ontario des parcelles illustrées comme annexes R36, R37, R38 et annexe révisée R34 dans le document 3 pour constituer le reste de l’expansion du secteur urbain;
2. D’adopter une modification au Règlement 2009-200 sur la conservation des arbres urbains devant entrer en vigueur le 28 septembre 2011 et ayant pour effet d’étendre l’application du règlement aux parcelles qu’il est recommandé d’ajouter au secteur urbain.
Background
On June 3, 2011 the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) released its decision on the Phase 1 urban boundary appeals under Official Plan Amendment No. 76 (OPA 76). The decision concluded that 850 gross hectares is the appropriate amount of land for urban expansion to accommodate residential growth to 2031. The Board gave significant weight to the Official Plan review process completed by the City in 2009. The upcoming Phase 2 OMB hearing will deal with what specific lands will form the urban expansion.
On July 4, 2011 Planning Committee considered Report ACS-2011-ICS-PGM-0153 dated June 24, 2011 on the recommended process to establish Council’s position for the Phase 2 hearing on lands to be added to the City’s urban area. On July 13, 2011, Council approved the process outlined in Document 1 of the Planning Committee report. This process carries forward staff’s approach to analysis of potential expansion areas, which evaluated potential areas based on a series of criteria, subject to any new information that had become available since the May 2009 evaluation.
The purpose of this report is to:
1. Provide an update of the parcel scores with identified new information;
2. Recommend to Planning Committee and Council what lands should be supported as the 850 gross hectares of urban area expansion; and
3. Recommend that Planning Committee and Council extend the application of the City’s tree preservation by-law to the lands recommended for urban area expansion.
DISCUSSION
Recommendation 1
The Board’s June 3, 2011 decision determined that the process and methods used by the City throughout the 2009 Official Plan review were sound. Therefore, subject to review of any new information, the analysis undertaken for the 2009 Official Plan review forms the basis of City’s position for Phase 2 of the urban boundary hearing.
The process of evaluating potential areas for urban expansion in May 2009 identified candidate areas based on five selection criteria then evaluated them relative to each other based on 16 criteria as detailed in Document 6 of report ACS2009-ICS-PLA-0080 dated May 4, 2009. From July 13, 2011 to August 12, 2011, staff consulted with landowners regarding any new information relevant to updating the evaluation of candidate parcels. The correction of minor errors is considered new information. There was no change to the criteria or method of analysis. Although requests were received to include other parcels, no new parcels were included in the detailed analysis. This was because either the lands were designated Agricultural Resource Area in the Official Plan, and were therefore excluded, or because they were not close to scoring well enough to be recommended.
The top ranked areas that cumulatively add to 850 gross developable hectares are those parcels that will form the City’s position on what lands are to be added to the urban area at the Phase 2 hearing. Based on the evaluation of new information, the only change to what staff recommended in 2009 for lands to be added to the urban area is to include a small parcel (1bE) at the north end of Kanata and to exclude an adjacent parcel (1cW). That has the effect of increasing the recommended land area from the 842.6 hectares recommended in 2009 to 851.9 hectares in this report, an additional 9.3 hectares. Although the recommended addition is 1.9 hectares above the figure named in the OMB decision it is not considered significant, especially given that the estimates of developable land in each parcel did not take account of required setbacks from the edge of slopes watercourses and the like. When more detailed planning is undertaken, the actual amount of developable land will be less than 850 gross hectares.
The 851.9 hectares include 163 hectares in the Fernbank area added by OPA 77 (candidate areas 5a and 5b) and 67 hectares south of Fernbank (parcels 6a, 6b and 6c), which together are the 230 hectares Council adopted as the OPA 76 urban expansion on June 10, 2009.
Details of the review of information and revised scoring are contained in attached Documents 1 and 2. Map schedules of the recommended parcels, other than those contained in OPA 76, are provided in Document 3.
Recommendation 2
The Ontario Municipal Board, in its consideration of the first Urban Boundary Hearing also proposed approval of the policies that would apply to the new urban expansion areas and define how these areas will be developed. The two new Sections (3.12 Urban Expansion Study Area and 3.13 Developing Community (Expansion Area)) contain policies that require the identification and protection of lands that form part of the natural heritage system. The policies require that these areas, which contain significant tree cover, are to be conveyed to the City. In anticipation of these areas becoming urban, it is important that these natural features are left intact.
At present the only method that the City has to regulate tree removal on private land is the City’s Urban Tree Conservation By-law that only applies to the urban area and candidate urban Area 11 (added as a result of the 2009 tree clearing in that area). The By-Law does not apply to the remaining candidate areas for urban expansion. Consequently, it is recommended that the application of the Urban Tree Conservation By-law 2009-200 be extended to protect the balance of candidate urban lands recommended by this report.
In 2009, Council adopted the staff recommendation to allocate nine per cent of dwelling units and ten per cent of population growth to the rural area. All parties during the Phase 1 urban boundary appeal also agreed to this allocation. The recommendations contained in this report will seek to redesignate lands from the rural area to the urban area at the upcoming Phase 2 hearing.
Landowners for the candidate areas were consulted through the end of July up to August 12, 2011. Staff also received submissions and responded to questions from non-candidate landowners.

N/A
LEGAL IMPLICATIONS
The Ontario Municipal Board has set down the date of October 19th, 2011 for a pre-hearing with respect to the Urban Boundary Phase 2 matter. Only after Council considers the present report on September 28th, 2011 will it be known with certainly if a phase 2 hearing will be required. The extent of the hearing will turn on the number, if any, of the appellants to Official Plan Amendment 76 who wish to challenge Council’s determination as to which lands are to be added to the Urban Area. It is anticipated that any hearing on this matter would be in February/March, 2012. The hearing will be conducted by staff within Legal Services. Should this report be adopted by Council, it is also anticipated that all of the City’s witnesses would be staff.
Risks have been identified and explained in the Legal Implications section.
There are no financial implications. Should an Ontario Municipal Board hearing be required, the hearing would be conducted by Legal Services staff, and all of the City’s witnesses would be staff.
Environmental Implications
The environmental aspects of the candidate parcels for addition to the Urban Area were analyzed as part of the process prior to the adoption of OPA 76. Proposed policies in the amendment provide for natural heritage system lands in each area to be transferred to the City for $1.
The report recomends that the City’s Urban Tree Conservation By-law be extended to apply to the candidate areas recommended by this report to ensure the protection of those lands with natural heritage values.
Technology Implications

City Strategic Plan
This report supports Planning and Growth Management priorities to manage growth and create sustainable communities and to ensure that the City infrastructure required for new growth is built or improved as needed to serve that growth.

DISPOSITION
The recommendations contained in this report are to form Council’s position for lands to be added to the Urban Area at the upcoming Urban Boundary Appeals, Phase 2 Ontario Municipal Board hearing.
The Legal Branch is to bring forward an amendment to the Urban Tree Conservation By-law for Council adoption on 28th September 2011.
Candidate Area New Information DOCUMENT 1
The analysis undertaken in 2009 was reviewed and updated based on available new information. The update resulted to a change to two land parcels in north Kanata, including one and excluding the other, but otherwise did not alter the 2009 staff recommendation for lands to be included in the urban area.
As instructed by Council, the General Manager of Planning and Growth Management notified all those people who had made submissions to the City in respect to OPA 76 of the opportunity to make further submissions on the candidate lands for urban expansion. The letters went out on July 21st and advised that the City would receive and consider any new or updated information that may have bearing on the staff evaluation undertaken in 2009 of the candidate lands for urban expansion.
In response to the request for new information relevant to the parcel evaluation, a number of submissions were received by the August 12th, 2011 deadline for submissions. A list of these submissions is provided in the following table. Several submissions related to lands that were not included in the 2009 evaluation, either due to their location, because the land was designated Agricultural Resource Area in the Official Plan, or other factors that made the land unsuitable candidates. In general, little relevant new information was provided by the submissions.

Revisions Made to Parcel Scores
The following points summarize revisions made to the parcel scoring under each criterion. There were no changes made to the criteria themselves. The changes made were of four types: infrastructure scores were updated with new information; distance-related measures were revised where required to reflect improved data; the land supply scoring was updated from the 2007 data available two years ago to 2009 data, and; a small number of errors were corrected.
Although individual point scores changed slightly for a number of parcels, the only change to what staff recommended in 2009 for which lands should be included in the Urban Area is to include parcel 1bE (now the east part of parcel 1b) and exclude parcel 1cW (the west part of 1c).
URBAN EXPANSION AREAS – REVIEW
OF CANDIDATE AREAS INCLUDING NEW INFORMATION DOCUMENT 2
The intent of the evaluation undertaken as part of the 2009 Official Plan review was to add small amounts of urban land to the boundary in a number of locations and thereby use residual capacity in existing infrastructure and provide the highest probability of integration with the existing community. The purpose of Document 2 is to present information for each candidate area including any new or revised information available since the 2009 analysis and to confirm or, if warranted, revise the previously recommended locations for changes to the urban boundary.
The recommended expansion areas are based on balancing various considerations:
· The availability of land in a non-agricultural designation
· The expected absorption rate in various areas
· The relative merit of each parcel based on a number of evaluation criteria
Areas included for review of new information are the same areas included in the May 2009 analysis. As noted in Document 1, while information was also received on other parcels not evaluated in 2009, review of these did not indicate that any were close to attaining a sufficient score to be included in the urban area and they are not included in Document 2.
The parcels evaluated are shown on the maps in Annex 1. As done in 2009, the tables in Annex 1 provide a basic description of each area including the location, size, designation, zoning, and current and adjacent land uses. Any relevant planning history is also provided. Individual criteria scores have changed from 2009 are indicated by shading.
The areas were screened based on the presence of Natural Heritage System components. Focus was placed on forested areas, wet areas, escarpments and valleylands. Other constraints to development, such as Hydro corridors and required setbacks from mineral resources, wetlands and other features, were also removed. This information was used to understand the availability of developable land within the study area and to profile the possibility of securing natural system lands through the process at no cost to the City. Constraint features were not included in the definition of “gross developable” residential hectares.
The purpose of the evaluation was and is to identify the specific 850 ha to be recommended for inclusion in the urban area, from among the 1935 ha initially identified.
The overall objective is to select areas that make the best use of existing available infrastructure capacity and community resources. These parcels should be developable within a reasonable period of time such as the next five to 10 years. The Official Plan is reviewed every five years and the condition of City infrastructure is monitored continuously. Lands that score lower today may very well be good candidates later.

Additional Comments:
Areas 1f and 1g may be appropriate for urban employment uses at some point in the future.
Criteria |
Area 1 - Infrastructure |
1. Water |
The water supply (existing and proposed) to Area 1 in Pressure Zone 2W is generally good. Servicing Area 1e would require an upgrade of the Morgan’s Grant PS and likely some of the suction/discharge piping to the pump station. Alternatively it may be possible to utilize a future Watermain at Goulbourn Forced Road as a second source. The remainder of Area 1 would be serviced by the March Road watermain, which varies from 1067 mm diameter near Corkstown Road to 406 mm near Old Carp Road. Some improvements have been proposed for parts of the March Road W/M, which has sufficient residual capacity to supply approximately 3,690 units (10,700 additional persons) in Areas 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d, 1f, 1g, and 1h. Area 1h is located furthest from away from Old Carp Road and would likely be the last area serviced.
|
2. Wastewater |
The existing sanitary sewer downstream of Shirley’s Brook (East March Trunk) has residual capacity, with the exception of 400 m, for most of its length to service over half of Area 1. Upgrading this 400 m of sewer would create capacity in the East Match Trunk for up to 2700 units. A new sanitary sewer would need to be installed on March Road to service 1a, 1d, 1e, and 1h. Areas 1b and 1c would likely be serviced by construction of new sewers and replacement of existing sewers that discharge to Briar Ridge Sewer Pump Station. This pump station would require upgrades to accept the additional area. Areas 1f and 1g would require a new pump station / forcemain to service the parcels, thus leading to higher capital and operating costs.
|
3. Stormwater |
Shirley’s Brook subwatershed plan would require updating to guide development. Some floodplain constraints exist in parcels east of March Road. Parcels west of March Road may have areas where overburden is shallow (blasting may be required to service). No significant drainage constraints exist that could not be overcome with application of conventional engineering methods.
|
The Transportation Master Plan seeks to provide a sufficient peak hour directional capacity to achieve a Level of Service “D” for screenlines outside of the City’s inner core. Based on this standard there is not sufficient planned future road capacity across the Campeau Road screenline (#53) and Eagleson Road screenline (#10) to accommodate this growth.

Additional Comments:
Criteria |
Area 2 - Infrastructure |
1. Water |
The water supply (existing and proposed) to Area 2 in Pressure Zone 3W is very good and no specific upgrades to any existing or proposed piping or pumping would be required.
|
2. Wastewater |
The area can be serviced by routing the flow towards the Signature Ridge Pump Station (SRPS). An upgrade of the SRPS is required in order to service existing build-out conditions and could incorporate a further capacity increase to service the subject area. Approximately 1600 m of trunk sewer will be required along Terry Fox Drive. This sewer will also service the adjacent development on the interstitial lands within the urban boundary. Given the elevation of the subject lands, a separate PS may be required due to overflow elevation constraints stemming from the SRPS. If the serviced area is limited to higher elevations the property can be serviced by a gravity sewer.
|
3. Stormwater |
There would be a need to update the impact assessment for the Carp River.
|
Transportation
The Transportation Master Plan seeks to provide a sufficient peak hour directional capacity to achieve a Level of Service “D” for screenlines outside of the City’s inner core. Based on this standard there would be sufficient planned future road capacity at the Campeau Road screenline (#53) to accommodate this growth but the Eagleson Road screenline (#10) at the Greenbelt does not have capacity for this Level of Service.

Criteria |
Area 3 - Infrastructure |
1. Water |
The water supply (existing and proposed) to Area 3 in Pressure Zone 3W is very good and no specific upgrades to any existing or proposed piping or pumping would be required. The proposed 762 mm diameter Hazeldean watermain feeding this area would only need to be up-sized if all Areas 3, 4, 6b and 6c were to be serviced and the Stittsville Elevated Water Tank is relocated in the future.
|
2. Wastewater |
Area 3 lies immediately west of the Kanata West Development Area, and hence can be serviced by the proposed Kanata West Pumping Station. The proposed trunk sewer on Maple Grove can be upsized and extended to the parcel.
|
3. Stormwater |
Drains to Feedmill Creek (within Carp River watershed). Existing studies would require updating; some areas of shallow overburden (blasting may be required to service).
|
Transportation
The Transportation Master Plan seeks to provide a sufficient peak hour directional capacity to achieve a Level of Service “D” for screenlines outside of the City’s inner core. Based on this standard the future road capacity across the Terry Fox screenline (#44) can accommodate this growth, however the Eagleson Road screenline (#10) at the Greenbelt does not have capacity for this Level of Service.

Criteria |
Area 4 - Infrastructure |
1. Water |
The water supply (existing and proposed) to Area 4 (future Stittsville Pressure Zone) would require a minor expansion of the future Stittsville PS. Piping upgrades on Hazeldean Road (west of Carp Road) and through the development east of Area 4 would also be required. The proposed 762 mm diameter Hazeldean watermain feeding this area would only need to be up-sized if all Areas 3, 4, 6b and 6c were to be serviced and the Stittsville Elevated Water Tank is relocated in the future.
|
2. Wastewater |
Area 4 is located east of Stittsville. Following the extension of the trunk sewer to service Area 3, an additional 1200 m of trunk sewer along Rothbourne/Maple Grove Road will be required. This additional flow will also need to be accounted for in the upgrades along Maple Grove and at the Kanata West Pumping Station
|
3. Stormwater |
Drains to Feedmill Creek (within Carp River watershed). Drainage of Area 4 may be challenging because of constraints created by the existing Timbermere subdivision to the east. Existing studies would require updating; some areas of shallow overburden (blasting may be required to service).
|
Transportation
The Transportation Master Plan seeks to provide a sufficient peak hour directional capacity to achieve a Level of Service “D” for screenlines outside of the City’s inner core. With the coming into effect of OPA 77, lands added in Area 5 will use all capacity that been assigned to Area 4 in the 2009 analysis. Based on the Level of Service “D” standard the future road capacity across the Terry Fox screenline (#44) can accommodate this growth, however the Eagleson Road screenline (#10) at the Greenbelt does not have capacity for this Level of Service.

Criteria |
Area 6 - Infrastructure |
1. Water |
The water supply to Area 6a (Pressure Zone 3W) could easily be included as part of the Fernbank CDP and servicing could be easily integrated into this future development at a very small cost. The water supply (existing and proposed) to Areas 6b and 6c (future Stittsville Pressure Zone) would require a minor upgrade to the future Stittsville PS and the installation of a check valve connection to the future water distribution system in Fernbank. The proposed 762 mm diameter Hazeldean watermain feeding this area would only need to be up-sized if all Areas 3, 4, 6b and 6c were to be serviced and the Stittsville Elevated Water Tank is relocated in the future.
|
2. Wastewater |
Area 6a, 6b, and 6c generally slope in an easterly direction, and would fall within the area serviced by Hazeldean Pump Station. Relatively high ground elevations present an opportunity to service these lands through the Fernbank community. Further upsizing of the Fernbank Trunks and upgrade to the Hazeldean PS will be required. Alternatively, a portion of the areas may be serviced by the Stittsville PS. In addition to the same downstream upgrades, an upgrade to the Stittsville PS will be required.
|
3. Stormwater |
The Area 6 alternative sites fall within the Jock River Reach 2 subwatershed. The existing subwatershed study and/or Fernbank EMP would require updating/expansion for southerly parcels. All alternatives sites have little or no drainage constraints. Drainage / stormwater management of the alternative sites is reasonably straightforward using conventional engineering methods.

Additional Comments:
A requirement exists for a “notice on title” advising of odours for residential properties within one kilometre of the Trail Road landfill property boundary. Residential uses are not permitted within 500 metres of the landfill.
Criteria |
Area 7 - Infrastructure |
1. Water |
The water supply piping (existing and proposed) to Area 7 is very good and no specific upgrades to any existing or proposed piping would be required. However, the City is currently planning a major reconfiguration of Pressure Zones BARR and 2W with a new future Pressure Zone 3C which would impact the pressures available to Area 7. A new booster pumping station would likely be required to service the majority of Areas 7a, 7b and 7c (with minimal or no piping upgrades required) that are at elevation of 106 metres or higher The cost per unit would be reduced by only servicing the lower lying areas or maximizing the number units serviced by a new pumping station.
|
2. Wastewater |
The total area can be serviced through the South Nepean Collector (SNC). The area may be serviced by gravity by upsizing the proposed trunks along Greenbank Road and Cambrian Road. Any low lying area (potentially within Area 7a) may be serviced by upsizing the Barrhaven South trunk sewer along the Jock River. According to the Barrhaven South Master Servicing Study (June 2007), a proposed trunk sewer (900 mm) from Greenbank to SNC has a residual capacity that would allow for the servicing of all 2781 units or 8033 people (the trunk has been recently installed). The next bottleneck in the system is West Rideau Collector (WRC) downstream of Hunt Club Road with residual capacity that would limit development to 1750 units (5000 people). This constraint can be alleviated to service entire area by simply diverting flow from the Barrhaven Community to the Greenbank Trunk at a relatively low cost.
|
3. Stormwater |
Area is in the Jock River watershed. The subwatershed plan and/or the Barrhaven South Master Servicing Plan would need updating. The incremental impact of Area 7a on drainage constraints in Barrhaven South may be manageable, however, the cumulative impact of drainage from Areas 7a, 7b, and 7c would be challenging given the constraints in storm drainage systems planned and built in Barrhaven South.
|
The Transportation Master Plan seeks to provide a sufficient peak hour directional capacity to achieve a Level of Service “D” for screenlines outside of the City’s inner core. Based on this standard the future road capacity across the Jock River screenline (#49) and Fallowfield screenline (#9) can accommodate this growth.

Additional Comments:
The Rural Road Network Schedule shows a Conceptual Arterial (alignment undefined) road between Albion Road and Bank Street south of the Leitrim urban boundary.
Criteria |
Area 8 - Infrastructure |
1. Water |
Collectively Area 8 and Area 9 could add a potential 1,620 units to Leitrim and would necessitate pumping and piping upgrades. However, as individual parcels they do not represent a significant increase in water demand, but the topography of these parcels precludes inclusion of a portion of 8a and all remaining areas in the 3C pressure zone. The Leitrim pump station would have to be upgraded and some additional watermains installed to provide appropriate pressures.
|
2. Wastewater |
The Conroy Road Trunk is constrained and provides no residual capacity beyond current build-out conditions. The replacement of approximately 1500 m of the Conroy Trunk would provide residual capacity for up to 1200 units (3500 people). Servicing of the entire area would require the higher cost upgrade/replacement of Leitrim PS, additional segments of the Conroy Road Collector, and the Green Creek Collector. An alternative to the Green Creek Collector upgrades would be to install a bypass pipe connecting the Conroy Road Collector to the South Ottawa Collector. A trunk sewer from Area 8 leading to the Leitrim PS will also be required.
|
3. Stormwater |
All the parcels are in Findlay Creek watershed. No subwatershed plan available to guide development. All alternative sites have little or no drainage constraints. Drainage/stormwater management of the alternative sites is reasonably straightforward using conventional engineering methods. |
The Transportation Master Plan seeks to provide sufficient peak hour directional capacity to achieve a Level of Service “D” for screenlines outside of the City’s inner core. Based on this standard future road capacity is available at the Rideau River screenline (#42) but the Leitrim Road screenline (#8) does not have capacity for this Level of Service.

Additional Comments:
The provision of a sanitary sewer through parcel 9a eliminates the need for a pumping station within the current urban boundary. Both parcels 9a and 9b would drain to the stormwater pond in parcel 9c.1.
Criteria |
Area 9 - Infrastructure |
1. Water |
Recent and planned upgrades to the water supply system will permit servicing of the individual areas. However, if they were to be developed collectively, some pipe and pump station upgrades would be required. Pumping and piping upgrades would be required to service more than approximately 1,620 units (4,700 additional persons) in Areas 8 and 9 combined (1,946 units or 5,643 persons are planned for Area 9 alone).
|
2. Wastewater |
The Conroy Road Trunk is constrained and provides no residual capacity beyond current build-out conditions. Upgrade to a section of Conroy Road sewer (with no residual capacity) will accommodate approximately 1200 units (3500 people), beyond which further upgrades will be required. Areas 9a, 9b, and part of 9c may be serviced with the upgrade. Servicing of the entire area would require the higher cost upgrade/ replacement of Leitrim PS, additional segments of the Conroy Road Collector, and the Green Creek Collector. An alternative to the Green Creek Collector upgrades would be to install a bypass pipe connecting the Conroy Road Collector to the South Ottawa Collector.
|
3. Stormwater |
All the parcels are in Findlay Creek watershed. No subwatershed plan available to guide development, however the Findlay Creek Stormwater Facility was subject to extensive review and has a relatively current MOE Certificate of Approval. With the exception of Area 9d, all alternative sites have little or no drainage constraints. Drainage / stormwater management of sites 9a, 9b, and 9c is reasonably straightforward using conventional engineering methods. Area 9d is constrained by watercourses that cross the land with sizeable external drainage areas.
|
The Transportation Master Plan seeks to provide a sufficient peak hour directional capacity to achieve a Level of Service “D” for screenlines outside of the City’s inner core. Based on this standard the future road capacity is available at the Rideau River screenline (#42) but the Leitrim Road screenline (#8) does not have capacity for this Level of Service.

Criteria |
Area 10 - Infrastructure |
1. Water |
The water supply (existing and proposed) to Area 10 in Pressure Zone 2E is very good and no specific upgrades to any existing or proposed piping or pumping would be required.
|
2. Wastewater |
Given the close proximity of the area to the Tenth Line PS and the downstream trunk sewers (500 m downstream), Area 10 would be most appropriately serviced by the Tenth Line PS. Servicing of Areas 10a and 10d, e will be limited to an upgrade of the Tenth Line PS. Inclusion of Areas 10b and 10c will also require an upgrade to the Orleans-Cumberland Collector.
|
3. Stormwater |
All the parcels are in the McKinnons Creek watershed. No subwatershed plan is available to guide development. Area 10a is constrained by McKinnons Creek which bisects the area, requiring two separate SWM facilities to service, and the area also includes floodplain constraints. However the outlet from stormwater pond servicing an adjacent urban area may be able to accommodate area 10a. Drainage of all sites is poor due to flat topography. Servicing the area would require constructing a storm trunk outlet 1-2 km downstream of Mer Bleue Road to establish a sufficient gravity outlet. Poor soils (Leda clay) exist in some areas, and could limit potential to resolve HGL constraints by filling alternative sites.
|
Transportation
The Transportation Master Plan seeks to provide a sufficient peak hour directional capacity to achieve a Level of Service “D” for screenlines outside of the City’s inner core. Based on this standard the future road capacity across the Bilberry Creek screenline (#45), Innes Road screenline (#47) and the Greens Creek screenline (#16) can accommodate this growth.

Additional Comments:
Parcels 11g and 11h are designated Rural Natural Feature in the OP but the owner has recently cut down most or all of the trees.
Criteria |
Area 11 - Infrastructure |
1. Water |
The water supply (existing and proposed) to Area 11 in Pressure Zones 1E and 2E is very good and no specific upgrades to any existing or proposed piping or pumping would be required.
|
2. Wastewater |
With the exception of a portion of Area 11e, the entire area can be serviced by gravity through an extension of the Ottawa River Sub-Trunk to the Candidate Area Parcels. The sewer extension would cross the creek with trunk sewers routed above the creek culvert. Servicing all of Area 11e would either require a local PS or the lowering of the trunk services, which would then necessitate a siphon or pumped crossing of the creek. This latter option would result in higher capital and operating costs. The evaluation is based on a portion of 11e not being serviced .
|
3. Stormwater |
Areas 11a, 11b, 11c, and 11d drain to Cardinal Creek, while Area 11e drains to the Ottawa River. The Cardinal Creek subwatershed study is underway, but would need to be updated to provide guidelines for development. All sites have good drainage due to the comparatively steep topography. The greatest stormwater challenge servicing the site would be providing erosion protection along steeply sloped outlets. Engineering requirements, while challenging, are not expected to involve more than conventional drainage systems.
|
Transportation
The Transportation Master Plan seeks to provide a sufficient peak hour directional capacity to achieve a Level of Service “D” for screenlines outside of the City’s inner core. Based on this standard the future
road capacity measured across of the Bilberry Creek screenline (#45) and the Greens Creek screenline (#16) can accommodate this growth. The Bilberry screenline extends from the Ottawa River south to near Wall Road and has capacity available in the south at Innes Road, Des Épinettes Avenue and the
Blackburn Hamlet By-pass extension and in the north at St. Joseph Boulevard and Jeanne d’Arc Boulevard. Ottawa Road 174 will have an additional lane in each direction added between Jeanne d’Arc and the Highway 417 split.
