Office

A
We
have
a
status
update
on
agriculture,
reference
committee
inquiry
and
motions
that
the
agriculture
Affair
committee
received
this
report
for
information
received
received.
Thank
you
and
then
we
have
some
motion
we'll
deal
with
them
after
we're,
gonna
go
back
now
to
item
4.1
and
I'm.
Going
to
ask.
We
have
a
delegation
and
I'm
going
to
ask
president
staff
to
start
the
presentation
we
have
Mitchell
massage.
D
So
next
slide,
please,
the
recommendations
of
the
report
are
to
permit
retail
food
stores
in
additional
zones.
This
was
heard
yesterday
at
planning
and
housing
committee.
Again,
it's
more
so
an
urban
issue,
but
to
move
on
to
the
next
recommendations.
The
ones
I
think
we're
here
for
are
to
add
a
new
definition
for
renewable
energy
generation
facilities
and
to
modify
the
definition
of
utility
installation
to
exclude
renewable
energy
generation
facilities.
We're
also
looking
to
limit
the
size
of
battery
energy
storage
systems
in
agricultural
zones.
D
So
the
recommendation,
as
stated
before,
was
a
housekeeping
amendment
that
was
heard
at
planning
and
housing
committee
and
the
second
two
recommendations
are
interim
measures.
Why
are
we
doing
this
number?
One
is
to
implement
policies
of
the
op
and
number
two.
There
are
currently
no
regulations
that
apply
to
our
egfs
or
renewable
energy
generation
facilities.
D
They
are
permitted
throughout
the
city
in
almost
all
zones,
so
to
ensure
orderly
development.
In
the
interim,
until
the
full
set
of
rules
are
in
place,
we're
wanting
to
implement
those
recommendations.
This
is
particularly
important
because
the
ieso,
the
independent
electricity
systems
operator
the
overseer
of
Ontario's
electricity
Market,
will
be
opening
up
a
procurement
window
for
projects
like
regfs.
D
D
So
these
interim
measures
are
proposed
until
a
full
set
of
Provisions
are
brought
forward
in
the
fall
of
2023,
and
this
was
as
directed
by
Council
as
stated
before.
Our
egfs
will
not
be
permitted
in
any
Zone
as
of
right
until
we
have
these
rules
in
place.
So
examples
of
renewable
energy
generation
facilities
include
wind
turbines,
solar
Farms,
bioenergy
production
and
it's
Associated
where
the
energy
is
sold
back
to
the
grid.
D
C
D
A
Thank
you
very
much
for
the
presentation
and
before
we
go
to
question
we'll
go
through
delegation.
That's
okay!
So
we
have
a
two
delegation
with
us
this
morning:
Angela
Keller,
Herzog
and
I
know
you're,
not
stranger
to
our
committee.
You
can
please
take
a
seat
and
you
know
the
rules.
I
don't
have
to
tell
you.
E
Okay,
good
to
go
so
I
will
try
to
go
quite
quickly
because
yesterday,
I
was
at
planning
committee
and
I
was
way
too
relaxed
So
today
we're
gonna
go
fast,
I'm,
Angela,
Keller,
herzog's
next
slide.
Please
I'm
with
cafes.
We've
existed
for
over
10
years,
we're
an
environmental
network
of
local
leaders,
including
ones
in
rural
area.
E
Next
slide,
please
overview
of
the
presentation
I'm
going
to
give
you
how
we
see
the
context
a
bit
and
then
look
at
this
from
an
energy
mitigation,
Greenhouse
mitigation
and
then
Greenhouse
adaptation,
so
climate
adaptation
perspective
and
then
local
benefits
next
slide.
Please!
So
in
terms
of
the
context,
we
were
really
surprised
because
we
thought
that
the
the
regulation
and
Zoning
of
renewable
energy
was
coming
up
in
Q4
and
there'd,
be
public
consultation
before
then,
and
we
could
go
off
for
barbecues
and
have
a
nice
summer.
E
E
Next
slide,
please
so
in
terms
of
climate
mitigation,
a
very
high
number
of
people
in
Ottawa
are
concerned
about
climate
change,
but
the
question
always
is
well:
what
are
we
going
to
do
about
it
and
obviously
the
transition?
The
energy
transition
has
a
lot
to
do
with
getting
off
fossil
fuels
and
finding
Alternatives,
of
which
renewable
energy
and
battery
storage
in
combination
is
one
of
them
next
slide.
E
Please
and
I've
also
been
asked
when
talking
about
this
in
our
network
is
whether
there's
plans
to
regulate
gas
plants
right,
which
is
kind
of
the
other
thing
the
Ford
government's
talking
about
in
terms
of
adaptation.
How
do
we
deal
with
the
risks
and
shocks
of
the
climate?
Change
that
that
we're
seeing
people
talk
about
climate,
resiliency
and
cafes
has
been
running
a
series
of
workshops
across
Ottawa
and
often
what
comes
up
is
the
issue
of
energy
resiliency.
E
So
again,
how
do
we
we
withstand
the
shocks
that
are
coming
and
how
do
we
recover
next
slide?
Please?
So
if
we
unpack
energy,
resiliency,
there's
a
lot
of
aspects
of
it,
but
the
first
two
are
really
energy
storage
and
power
generation.
Next
slide,
please,
so
what
we
want
to
do
is
when
the
power
goes
out,
when
there
are
hurricanes,
tornadoes,
storms
or
or
whatever,
how
can
we
have
energy
storage
that
we
can
draw
on,
so
that
your
kids
can
still
do
their
homework
and
have
cell
phones
and
watch
videos
and
there's
big
batteries?
E
You
can
buy
Canadian
Tire,
but
obviously,
when
we're
at
an
industrial
and
Municipal
scale,
the
batteries
would
be
larger
and
then,
in
terms
of
power
generate
duration,
we
would
want
to
have
backup
power.
Alternate
systems
of
power.
Next
slide,
please
in
terms
of
the
community
feedback
and
talking
to
people
at
these
workshops.
Energy
resiliency
is
a
key
concern.
People
are
starting
to
talk
about
microgrids,
which
is
basically
when
you
have
your
own,
like
little
island
of
a
system
and
their
their.
E
The
community
is
concerned
about
Community
critical
resources,
especially
Communications
in
in
a
crisis,
and
often
we
need
energy.
We
need
power
for
communications
next
slide,
please
so
now,
I'm
on
the
last
main
topic
now,
I
know
that
there
has
been
a
lot
of
rural
resistance
to
especially
industrial
wind
turbines,
and
we
are
definitely
very
very
sympathetic
to
the
scenario
where
you
have
say
outside
investors
rolling
into
the
countryside
like
taking
over
imposing
new
structures.
E
This
is
basically
the
same
thing
when
the
people
in
the
inner
urban
city
are
saying:
hey
the
character
of
our
neighborhood
is
being
destroyed
by
these
high-rises
right,
so
we
have
to
have
local
voice.
We
need
to
have
local
consultations
and
I
would
really
urge
that
the
local
consultations
before
we
start
this,
like
the
regulation
for
the
rezoning,
that
there
should
be
some
special
effort
to
actually
talk
to
people
in
rural
areas,
because
that's
been
a
main
issue.
E
F
F
E
On
the
climate
resiliency
workshops,
we
we
had
one
in
burwood's
Rapids
so
that
there's
the
baritz
Rapids
Community
Association
way
way
in
the
South,
and
then
we
were
also
in
West
Carlton.
So
there
we
have
the
West
Carlton
disaster
relief
people
we
don't
actually
have
carp
as
a
member.
So
what
we
have
is
organizational
members
and
we
have
individual
members
in
the
network
and
and
in
terms
of
on
the
east
side,
we
have
the
Avalon
Rachel
yeah.
F
E
F
E
A
H
Hi,
thank
you
chair
just
want
to
try
not
to
repeat
what
Angela
said,
but
we
we're
supportive
of
the
food
retail
portion,
obviously
of
the
motion.
It's
really
the
green
energy
generation
facility
and
battery
storage
that
that
is
that
issue
for
us.
So,
as
you
know,
Council
confirmed
through
a
motion
some
time
ago.
H
So
the
good
news,
though,
is
that
there's
been
an
energy
and
a
revolution
in
the
energy
sector
over
the
last
10
to
15
years,
and
and
this
is
causing
a
lot
of
concern
for
the
incumbents
in
this
in
this
space.
But
essentially
what
the
revolution
has
been
is:
is
that
there's
been
a
very
large
decrease
in
the
cost
of
wind,
solar
and
storage?
H
So
that's
that's
the
point
at
which
the
economic
change,
the
economic
numbers
have
changed
so
much
over
the
last
10
to
15
years,
and
because
of
this
we're
seeing
a
massive
uptake
of
wind
and
solar
throughout
the
world.
It's
not
just
a
Canadian
thing.
It's!
It's
a
worldwide
phenomena
and
for
us
I
think
we
need
to
seize
the
opportunity.
H
So
I,
certainly,
you
know
I
certainly
agree
with
what
what
Angela
was
saying
about
the
fact
that
we
do
need
to
consult
communities
and
make
sure
that
there's
something
in
it
for
them
also
right.
So
if
you
look
at
in
a
similar
situation
with
battery
storage,
that's
required
for
us
to
be
able
to
store
intermittent
wind
and
solar,
so
we
have
a
growing
city.
H
H
Choice
number
one
is
to
use
centralized
production
so
use
a
nuclear
plant
and
and
big
gas
plants
Etc
and
like
we
have
in
the
past,
and
those
though,
require
large
transmission
lines
and
and
would
require
us
to
increase
transmission
lines
and
people
in
rural
areas
in
particular,
don't
like
to
see
additional
transmission
lines
either.
So
that's
certainly
a
an
issue
for
increasing
the
the
electricity
Supply
in
Ottawa,
the
other.
The
other
thing
with
centralized
production
is
the
jobs
tend
to
go
outside
of
Ottawa.
H
If
we
instead
invest
in
localized
production
via
wind
and
solar,
we
don't
need
as
many
large
transmission
lines,
because
the
production
is
local,
so
we
just
need
to
transmit
it
locally
and
it
allows
us
to
to
have
low
cost
participate
more
actively
in
the
projects
and
that
actually
allows
us
to
have
jobs
here
locally
to
build
that
infrastructure.
So
so
it
certainly
would
be
a
a
benefit
for
for
residents
of
Ottawa
to
be
able
to
get
that
extra.
The
extra
employment
through
through
these
green
projects.
A
A
A
And
thank
you
very
much
staff
for
being
here
this
morning.
We
appreciate
it
have
a
great
day.
We
go
back
to
4.2.
Zoning
bylaw
am
Edmund
147
Lang
staff
Drive.
We
have,
we
have
no
presentation,
but
if
presentation
required,
we
will.
But
we
have
no
delegation,
no
correspondence,
but
we
have
a
question
from
staff.
Sorry,
we
have
questions
from
councilor
Kelly
that
he
is
not
here
today,
but
counselor
Brown
will
be
asking
those
questions
to
staff
I
see
there
is
Sarah
and
Adam
Brown.
Both
of
them
are
here.
A
We
also
have
Mr
Jack
sterling
and
Mr
Hume.
Welcome
both
of
you
this
morning.
I
know
there
is
they
there
is,
they
don't
have
to
say
speak
if
we
carry
the
item,
but
if
there
is
any
question
require
both
of
them
are
not
stranger
to
this
gallery
and
we
appreciate
them
both
for
being
here
this
morning.
So
with
that
we
have
a
motion
and
then
we
go
to
questions
so
Council
around.
We
have
a
small
Amendment
to
the
file,
so
you
go
ahead.
Thank.
A
B
That's
correct,
chair
the
there's,
a
small
portion
of
the
lands
that
are
subject
to
the
application
that
require
an
anomaly
report
from
our
colleagues
in
the
policy
department
and
that
report's
been
deferred
until
August.
So
the
bulk
of
the
lands
can
go
through
the
zoning
bylaw
amendment
process,
but
the
small
one
acre
of
lands
require
That
official
plan
Amendment.
So
we
will
do
a
small
report
at
a
future
meeting
to
clean
that
up.
So
thank.
A
C
To
the
report,
thank
you
very
much
chair
and,
as
the
chair
said,
counselor
Kelly
was
unable
to
attend
committee
today,
so
he
did
send
a
few
questions
along
and
asked
that
I
direct
them
to
staff
in
terms
of
the
development
along
the
Northwest
portion
of
the
property
I
believe
there's
a
Grove
of
trees
that
separate
the
subject,
lands
and
the
local
Cemetery.
Can
staff
tell
me
what's
being
done
to
ensure
the
protection
of
those
trees
through
the
development
process.
G
Through
the
chair
of
through
the
review
of
the
subdivision
application,
there
was
an
environmental
impact
statement
that
did
recommend
the
preservation
and
protection
of
these
trees.
So
in
Clause
10
of
the
report
there
is
a
provision
or
two
Provisions
that
state
that
no
building
structures
or
site
alterations
are
permitted
in
that
five
meter
protection,
Zone.
C
C
Is
there
any
provision
in
the
application
or
any
actions
that
we
can
take?
So
the
new
residents
know
that
the
carp
Fair
does
take
place
annually,
that
it
is
a
loud
function
that
there's
noise
smell
increase
in
the
level
of
activity
in
the
area
and
just
so
they're
aware
that
when
this
comes
it's
something
that
happens
annually
and
we
hope
that
they
partake
in
the
festivities
of
the
village
through.
C
Thank
you
very
much.
I
I'd
appreciate
that
I
think
it's
important
that
we
let
them
know
it
does
happen
and
probably
they're.
Well
aware
and
I
know.
It's
happened
in
Richmond
to
the
development
that
happened
to
the
east
of
the
Richmond
Fairgrounds
and
it
was
quite
beneficial.
So
my
next
question
from
counselor
Kelly
part
of
the
subject
lands.
My
understanding
is
there's
supposed
to
be
an
underground
utility
pipe
the
land
above
it
isn't
going
to
be
developed
on.
G
Through
the
chair,
through
the
draft
approval
of
the
subdivision
that
service
pipe
was
actually
located,
a
couple
blocks
north
of
the
park.
The
conditions
of
draft
approval
did
ask
that
block
be
moved
adjacent
to
the
park
so
that
it
could
function
an
association
with
the
park
and
through
the
detailed
design,
is
going
to
be
looked
at
further,
whether
or
not
that
pipe
is
even
required,
so
it
will
still
be
functional
as
Park
and
as
part
of
the
open
space
zoning
through
the
zoning
report,
perfect.
C
G
Yes,
through
the
chair
in
the
secondary
plan
for
the
village
of
carp,
this
area
is
designated
predominantly
of
Village
Residential,
three,
which
is
slated
for
high
density
residential
development
and
permits
the
uses
that
are
proposed,
such
as
apartments
and
townhouses.
So
the
the
proposed
zoning
amendment
is
in
keeping
with
our
provisions
of
the
secondary
plan.
C
A
Have
thank
you
very
much,
councilor
Brown,
any
other
question.
I
just
want
to

to

A
If
we
just

I'm
just

go
right
to
the
recommendation
that
the
Agriculture
and
Rural
Affairs

Thank

A
A
We
have
inquiry
and
inquiries
from
myself
increase
the
application
of
calcium
to
Dirt,
Road
and
Rural.
Ottawa
has
significant
impact
on
the
conditions
of
the
road
for
both
drivers
and
property
owner
within
areas
that
are
affected.
Rural
residents
have
raised
concerns
regarding
the
application
of
calcium
to
Rhodes
in
recent
years.
So
can
staff
answer
three
questions,
one?
What
is
the
current
process
for
application
of
calcium
to
Dirt
Road
within
an
operation,
cost
estimate
per
kilometer
treated
to
what
is
the
time
period
for
procurement
and
subsequent
applicant
of
a
calcium
to
Road?
A
And
what
is
the
maintenance
schedule
throughout
the
season?
Three?
Would
it
be
feasible
for
staff
to
conduct
a
pilot
project
to
treat
the
entire
width
of
the
road
with
calcium,
as
opposed
to
the
current
process,
and
that
would
the
cost
estimate
for
the
integration
of
this
pilot
project
compared
to
the
current
operational
cost
per
kilometer
treated.
