B

was

to

also
do
work.
At
the
same
time,.
A
A
A
A
A
A
I
haven't
read
it:
I
haven't,
read
it
yet
heard
someone
we're
streaming
on
youtube.
Just
so
you
know
all
right.
C
A
I
heard
nothing,
I
I
think
there
was
a
meeting
supposed
to
be
scheduled
and
it
was
cancelled.
C
A
Are
you
talking
about
the
meeting
that
I
that
I
organized
john
is
here
she
can
hey.
D
Okay,
so
good
morning,
everyone
and
welcome
to
fair
committee,
thursday
november
5th
2020.
This
is
a
public
meeting
to
consider
the
proposed
comprehensive
official
plan
and
zoning
bylaw
amendment
listed
as
item
1
on
today's
agenda.
D
If
you
have
any
motion
on
any
of
the
items
listed
today,
please
send
a
copy
to
us
ahead
of
a
public
delegation,
so
that
committee,
member
and
staff
have
an
opportunity
to
review
and
necessarily
clarify
your
motion
during
the
discussion
of
the
matter.
Thank
you
before
we
go
to
our
agenda.
Ask
mr
desjardin.
D
D
D
Thank
you
very
much.
Planning
infrastructure
and
economic
development
item
number
one:
zoning
by
law,
amendment
part
of
6335
perth
street.
D
So
we
have
this
item
on
the
front
of
us
so
and
we
have
the
applicant
or
somebody
on
behalf
the
applicant
here
as
well.
But
if
we,
if
we
agree
to
carry
this
item,
I'm
sure
the
I
believe
mr
ziad
hassan
with
us.
He
will
be
fine
with
that
on
item
number
one.
C
Can
could
I
ask
a
question
on
item
number
one.
C
Okay,
one
of
the
issues
that
I
am
facing
in
some
of
the
new
subdivisions
that
we're
building
in
in
ward
22
is,
is
smaller
lot
sizes
and
because
of
covid
a
lot
of
people
requiring
their
cars.
We're
turning
many
of
these.
C
These
our
communities
into
parking
lots,
unfortunately,
because
we're
we're
not
allowing
the
proper
space
to
accommodate
a
vehicle,
and
I'm
I'm
I'm
worried
that
if
we
approve
this
zoning
change
in
a
more
rural
part
like
in
richmond
that
we're
going
to
continue
this
problem,
I
know
that
the
lots
are
now
going
to
cover
the
housing
is
going
to
cover
more
of
the
lot
there's.
The
sides
are
going
to
be
even
narrower,
and
my
concern
is
that
we
not
repeat
a
problem.
That's
what
we're
allowing
to
allowing
right
now
do.
C
Do
they
really
need
this
zoning
amendment
just
to
align
a
boundary?
You
know,
I
I'm
just
I'm
curious
about
why
we
would
allow
this
right
now.
E
Mr
chair,
this
report
is
to
amend
a
previous
zoning
bio
amendment,
which
was
passed
with
some
omissions,
so
this
is
to
update
the
zoning
bylaw
to
reflect
what
was
in
the
original
intention
of
the
zoning
bylaw
amendment
to
reflect
the
subdivision
application,
which
has
been
approved
for
the
village
of
richmond
for
kaiva.
C
Okay,
so
it's
really
changing
nothing.
So
how
what's
the
setback
between,
like
you
are
reducing
from
three
to
one
point:
five
meters
right:
the
sides
of
the
of
this
development
is
that
correct.
E
Mr
chair,
that's
the
side
yard
setback.
Yes,
as
being
the
exception,
is
being
reduced
to
reflect
the
approved
plan
of
subdivision.
Yes,.
E
It's
an
exception:
that's
being
put
in
place
to
to
reflect
the
the
built
form
that
was
approved
through
the
planet
subdivision.
C
E
So,
just
to
reiterate
that
the
zoning
would
reflect
what
was
approved,
so
it
would
essentially
regulate
through
zoning.
What
the
plan
of
subdivision
has
been
draft
approved
for.
C
Okay,
so
there's
no
use
even
talking
about
it.
C
I
just
think
people
buy
in
the
rural
areas
because
it
is
a
rural
area
and
I
I
would
really
love
to
see
us
start
to
reflect
that
and
in
allowing
people
to
have
a
little
bit
more
of
a
yard
to
accommodate
a
tree
so
that
they're
not
having
to
park
on
roads,
but
I
can
see
that's
not
going
to
change
so
what
I'll
do
is
I'll,
just
I'll
leave
it
there.
So
thank
you
very
much.
D
Any
other
question
from
any
other
member
councilman
councilman
moffitt
go
ahead,
sir.
F
Thanks
just
some
some
history
on
this
one
I'll
see
this
file
and
development
goes
back
about
12
years.
In
this
area,
fox
run
community
was
originally
slated
as
a
thousand
home
development
through
working
with
the
richmond
village
association
and
kaivan.
F
F
F
It
is
a
very
I
mean
we
had
40
people
waiting
for
when
this
was
launched
and
in
fact
many
of
the
residents
who
bought
here
first
are
richmond
residents,
people
that
grew
up
in
richmond
and
wanted
to
stay
in
richmond
and
they
wanted
options
in
richmond
to
live
there,
because
a
lot
of
the
new
housing
in
richmond
between
2000
and
2010
2015,
and
even
today,
we're
talking
about
600
to
900
000
homes.
F
It's
just
not
financially
sustainable.
For
some
of
the
people
to
want
to
be
in
a
community
like
this
and
be
able
to
stay
there,
so
you
need
a
cross-section
of
housing
and
the
fox
run
community
actually
provided
that
cross-section
and
provided
some
level
of
affordability
in
the
rural
area,
while
actually
meeting
the
needs
of
the
market
and
what
people
were
looking
for.
We
have
ample
opportunity
for
space
in
certain
communities.
We
have
developments
in
richmond
or
outside
of
richmond,
where
there
are
77
lot
developments
where
there's
only
20
lots
full.
F
I
mean
the
abilities
there.
If
people
are
looking
for
space,
this
just
offers
something
different
in
communities
like
richmond
and
manatee.
You
need
that
cross
section.
You
need
that
larger
lot.
Smaller
lot
town,
you
know
larger
home,
condo
type,
development,
rental
units,
you
need
that
and
that's
what
we're
getting
in
richmond
with
this
development
and
again
the
the
setbacks
they
reflect
what
was
already
approved
by
committee.
It's
just
that
we
had
it.
We
had
a
mistake
in
the
zoning
and
that's
all
this
does
today,
but
overall,
the
development
itself
is.
F
And
it's
not
something
we
wanted,
even
even
with
the
layout
of
matami's
project
further
south.
It
was
about
not
overburdening
any
one
section
with
with
with
towns
or
so
there's
actually
space
on
the
road
and
there's
space
in
the
laneways
and
all
that
stuff.
So
so
it's
it's
important
that
we
design
these
communities,
knowing
what
some
challenges
that
we're
facing
elsewhere.
C
D
Well,
you
know
that's
a
good
question
counselor
because
maybe
not
just
specifically
this
side,
but
your
question
really
is
to
the
official
plan
and
how
many
housing
we
are
cramming
in
each
hectare
and
I
think
that
need
to
be
reviewed.
We
agree
with
you.
We
hear
a
lot
of
complain
from
the
new
area,
there's
there's
no
space
for
snow
removal
or
parking,
and
but
anyway,
that's
not
for
this
item,
but
we
should
take
notes
when
we
are
debating
the
op
in
the
future.
D
2008-250
for
part
of
six
three
three:
five
percent:
three
to
adjust:
zoning
boundaries
and
some
of
the
multi
multiple
attached
zoning
provisions
with
phase
two
of
the
residential
subdivision,
as
shown
in
document
one
and
detail
in
document.
Two
item
number
two:
that
the
agriculture
river
affair
committee
approved
the
consultation
details.
Section
of
this
report
be
included
as
a
part
of
the
brief
explanation
and
again,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
we
we
have
mr
ziyad
hassan
and
mr
hassan.
I'm
sure
you
don't
need
to
speak.
F
F
D
Much
we
have
information
previously
to
service
the
ottawa
rural,
clean
water
program,
2019
annual
report.
I
believe
we
do
have
a
presentation
mark
right
from
geraldine,
wildman
and.
D
Can
we
lift
this
item
folks?
So
it's
the
benefit
to
have
this
power
presentation
to
describe
this
funding
program
for
clean
water
in
a
rural
area.
I
see
councils
not
under
their
head.
Okay.
Mr
mr
desjardins,
I
believe
my
colleague
agreed
to
lift
this
item,
so
we
can
have
a
presentation
so
jardine
are
you?
Are
you
on
the
call
or
yeah?
I
see
you
and
you
doing
the
presentation
or
the
introductory
of
tara.
B
D
C
G
Oh
thank
you
chair
so
good
morning,
chair
and
committee
members.
My
name
is
tara
redpath
and
I'm
a
planner
with
our
natural
systems
and
rural
affairs
branch
and
part
of
my
role
is
to
coordinate
the
ottawa
world
clean
water
program
on
behalf
of
the
city.
So
today's
presentation
will
provide
a
brief
summary
of
the
program
as
well
as
highlight
achievements
from
2019
next
slide.
Please,
the
ottawa
rural,
clean
water
program
is
a
long-standing
program
that
provides
cost-share
grants
to
rural
landowners
for
projects
that
protect
water
quality.
G
G
G
The
program
is
open
to
any
property
in
rural
ottawa
as
well,
projects
that
are
related
to
agriculture,
well,
decommissioning
and
septic
systems
within
the
urban
boundary
are
also
eligible,
and
we
encourage
not-for-profit
organizations
to
apply
for
our
educational
and
innovative
project
types
next
slide.
Please.
G
The
program
itself
was
promoted
through
a
variety
of
methods.
In
2019
we
had
postcards
distributed
to
client
service,
centers
and
libraries,
as
well
as
some
targeted
mail
drops
and
they
were
made
available
at
local
events.
Ads
were
placed
in
local
agricultural
news
newspapers
in
may,
as
well
as
the
city's
rural
affairs
newsletter.
G
Social
media
posts
were
added
to
facebook
and
twitter
in
april.
In
addition,
program
staff
attended
a
variety
of
public
fairs
and
events
across
the
year,
for
example,
the
eastern
ontario
crop
conference
and
the
ottawa
valley
farm
show.
G
This
fact
sheet
highlights
a
project
that
was
undertaken
on
the
student
farm
along
the
south
caster
municipal
drain
in
osgood
ward,
and
then.
Lastly,
we
also
produced
a
new
video
which
showcases
control
tile
drainage
as
a
best
management
practice,
and
this
is
now
available
on
south
nation
conservation's
youtube
channel
next
slide.
Please.
G
I
would
just
like
to
highlight
a
few
trends
across
our
most
popular
project
types.
So
if
you
look
toward
the
gold
colored
circles
on
the
map,
they
might
be
a
little
bit
hard
to
see,
but
these
projects
reflect
the
erosion,
control
and
shoreline
stabilization
projects,
and
you
can
see
that
they're
mostly
concentrated
along
the
rideau
river
as
well.
There's
a
cluster
up
in
constance
bay
along
the
ottawa
river,
and
this
was
our
highest
approved
project
type
in
2019.
We
had
21
projects
in
this
category.
G
Forest
management
plans
are
shown
by
the
purple
circles.
We
had
15
projects
approved
in
this
category
last
year,
and
these
are
mainly
concentrated
toward
the
west
side
of
the
city,
where
our
agricultural
lands
tend
to
be
less
productive,
so
there's
more
forest
cover
and
hence
the
need
for
for
the
forest
management
plants.
G
G
So
we
do
continue
to
see
uptake
across
all
of
our
broad
project
categories,
and
this
table
shows
the
projects
that
were
completed
in
2019.
So
the
previous
slide
was
showing
you
what
had
been
approved,
but
these
projects
were
the
ones
that
were
were
finished
were
wrapped
up
and
they
include
projects
that
were
approved
back
in
2017
and
2018
as
well
as
2019..
So
on
top
of
this,
we
do
have
31
additional
projects
that
were
approved
in
2019
in
2019
or
earlier
and
they're
slated
for
completion
in
2020..
G
So
again
I'll
just
review
quickly.
The
the
more
popular
project
categories-
soil
protection,
is
one
and
we
that
we
had
11
projects
completed
under
that
broader
category.
G
Nine
of
those
fell
under
the
erosion
control
category
that
I
mentioned
earlier,
and
for
these,
the
grants
for
erosion
control
are
seven
thousand
five
hundred
dollars
up
to
so
this
is
reflected
in
the
highest
overall
grants
that
we
paid
out,
which
was
almost
65
000
for
that
category
type:
water
management
projects,
the
we
had
nine
projects
completed
under
that
category
last
year
and
all
were
well
decommissioning
projects
and
then
land
stewardship.
G
G
G
program
staff
participated
in
a
post-flood,
open
house
to
let
residents
know
about
the
available
grants
for
addressing
erosion
and
shoreline
stabilization
on
their
properties.
So
through
this
outreach,
we
received
five
applications
for
the
erosion
control
projects
from
residents
in
constance
bay
alone,
and
all
of
these
projects
were
approved.
They
represent
a
total
of
approximately
thirty
five
thousand
dollars
in
grants
for
last
year,
and
the
photos
that
you
can
see
are
from
one
of
the
2019
projects,
where
riprap
was
placed
against
an
existing
retaining
wall
to
help
further
stabilize
the
shoreline.
G
Next
slide,
please
so.
Lastly,
I
would
just
like
to
provide
you
with
a
brief
financial
overview
of
the
program,
so
in
addition
to
the
100
or
just
over
111
000
that
we
awarded
in
grants
last
year,
landowners
contributed
approximately
159
000
of
their
own
funding
for
their
projects.
So
this
represents
a
total
of
just
over
270
000
that
was
invested
in
rural
land
stewardship
across
ottawa.
G
The
2019
budget,
which
includes
the
200
thousand
dollar
special
levy,
that's
approved
annually.
This
also
includes
a
69
000,
just
over
69
000
of
carryover
from
projects
that
were
approved
back
in
2018
but
then
carried
forward
to
2019.
So
that's
why
you
see
a
budget
of
approximately
269
000
so
for
expenses
last
year,
in
addition
to
the
grants
of
111
000,
we
had
approximately
forty
three
thousand
dollars
that
were
related
to
project
administration
and
delivery
costs
for
a
total
of
154
000
in
expenses.
G
This
leaves
us
with
115
000
balance,
which
is
encumbered
for
approved
projects
that
are
to
be
completed
or
are
being
completed
right
now
in
2020.
G
So,
as
I
had
mentioned
at
the
beginning,
the
next
five-year
program
review
is
currently
underway
and
we'll
be
reporting
this
to
committee
to
this
committee
in
early
2021.
So
I'd
like
to
thank
you
for
your
time
this
morning
and
I'd
be
pleased
to
take
any
questions
that
you
have
at
this
time.
Thank
you.
D
Well,
thank
you
very
much
tara
for
your
presentation,
and
that
was
good,
see
you
at
the
first
time.
It's
great,
so
you
did
a
good
job.
Any
question
from
my
colleagues
for
tara
or
jordan,
because
she's
still
on
the
call
with
us.
D
I
see
none.
I
just
to
ask
you
in
comparison
to
previous
years.
Is
the
funding
envelope
still
manageable?
Like
I
mean
I
do
get
a
more
application
than
than
the
funding
allow.
G
Thank
you
chair,
so
I
will
say
that,
for
what
we
tend
to
see
is
we
have
more
projects
coming
in
than
we
can
fund
each
year,
but
we
are
able
to
carry
them
forward
into
the
next
year
and
draw
from
the
next
year's
funding,
but
for
2020,
because
we
need
to
renew
the
program.
We
actually
are
fully
subscribed
right
now
and
we
do
have
a
waiting
list,
but
once
hope
you
know,
hopefully,
if
the
program
is
then
renewed,
we'll
be
able
to
go
and
provide
funding
to
those
applications
on
the
waiting
list.
G
Right,
so
the
program
is
delivered
through
our
three
local
conservation
authorities.
So
if
applications
come
in,
for
example,
in
the
rito
valley's
jurisdiction,
it's
staff
from
that
conservation
authority
that
go
and
meet
well,
typically
in
non-coveted
times,
would
meet
with
the
landowner
on
site
and
do
a
site
visit,
and
you
know
talk
to
them
about
their
project
and
get
information
that
way.
So,
yes,
very
much
so
they
do
work
hand
in
hand
with
the
landowners.
D
Okay,
well,
that's
all
my
question
unless
and
if
my
colleague
has
additional
questions,
so
thank
you
again:
tara
and
jordin
for
managing
this
file.
It's
very
important,
especially
during
the
floods
to
the
community
and
even
without
the
floods,
for
the
erosion
is
taking
places
especially
around
the
rural
areas.
So
thank
you
again,
tara
for
your
presentation.
D
See,
thank
you.
So
what
we
have
thank
you
there.
So
we
have.
We
have
no
one
for
the
open,
mic
session
notice
of
motion
for
consideration
a
subsequent
meeting,
non-today
inquiry.
D
I
don't
I
haven't
received
any
other
business.
We
have
a
motion
from
councillor
moffat
on
north
course
cena
tav.
I
believe
we
have
to
waste
the
rule
to
receive
that
mark.
A
Correct
it's
on
the
the
motion
that
should
be
coming
up
very
shortly
here.
D
A
D
Okay,
thank
you
very
much.
Council
mafik
return
it
to
you.
F
Thank
you
so,
just
briefly,
it's
the
community
in
north
gore
has
been
working.
A
number
of
community
leaders
have
been
working
with
themantic
legion
on
improved
the
cenotaph
if
anyone's
ever
been
there
it's
in
horus
seabrook
park
and
it's
just
kind
of
been
a
cenotaph
in
the
park
off
off
on
its
own,
with
no
actual
easy
access,
it's
just
surrounded
by
by
grass
and
whatnot,
and
there
was
a
desire
to
formalize
it,
obviously
with
what
was
done
recently
in
cars
with
the
moving
of
that
center
half
because
of
the
cars
public
school.
F
It's
been
a
nice
addition,
so
they're
looking
at
doing
something
similar
which
they've
undertaken,
they
just
required
a
consent
to
enter
as
well
as
some
additional
funding
and
because
it's
in
a
park,
we
can
do
that
through
our
cil,
our
cash
and
load
parkland.
D
D
Our
next
meeting
will
be
thursday
december
3rd
and
it
will
be
a
budget
meeting
as
well
and
before
we
adjourn
iraq
meeting
I
would
invite
miss,
inter
our
legal
staff,
to
because
we
will
be
adjourned
this
meeting
and
we
will
reconvene
as
a
court
of
revision,
but
I
like
to
turn
it
to
christine
enter,
because
this
will
be
the
first
meeting
for
the
court
of
revision
on
zoom,
not
in
person
miss
inter.
H
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
so
what's
going
to
happen
now
is
that
the
agricultural
affairs
committee
is
adjourned
and
the
court
of
revision
is
going
to
reconvene
in
order
to
do
this.
I
guess
in
a
clean
fashion
and
and
to
ensure
separation
between
the
two
meetings.
Anyone
who
has
joined
the
iraq
meeting
in
order
to
potentially
speak
to
matters
that
are
before
the
court
of
revision.
H
This
is
simply
to
separate
the
process
and
to
ensure
that
discussions
among
the
members
of
the
the
court
of
revision
are
permitted
much
as
would
occur.
If
we
were
in
person.
We
see
no
procedural
concerns
with
this.
Many
matters
before
the
lpat,
for
example,
are
occurring.
Virtually
court
matters
at
superior
court
have
occurred
by
teleconference
or
virtually,
and
there
is
no
requirement
under
the
drainage
act
for
the
court
of
revision
to
be
a
public
meeting.
H
As
long
as
notification
has
occurred
to
the
appropriate
affected
parties
and
a
chance
is
given
for
them
to
speak,
an
opportunity
for
them
to
present
to
the
court,
whether
it
is
done
virtually
through
through
zoom
or
in
person,
as
was
done
in
pre-coveted
times,
is,
is
the
same
as
far
as
we
are
concerned.
At
this
time,.
D
So
the
only
question
we
have
for
you,
ms
enter
when
we
used
to
meet
in
person,
the
the
member
of
the
court
of
provision
will
meet
separately
and
have
discussion
among
themselves
and
and
then
comes
back
and
render
their
decision
in
a
case
like
this.
H
That's
correct,
so
it
would
be
the
same
as
an
in-camera
meeting
further
to
our
our
council
procedures.
If
you
will
for
reference
and
any
attendance
at
the
court
of
revision,
they
can
simply
be
moved
into
a
waiting
room
where,
where
they
will
wait,
while
the
court
deliberates
and
then
they
can
be
moved
back
in
to
hear
the
decision.
D
So
with
that
we're
motion
to
adjourn
error,
I
know
we
don't
need
emotion
anymore,
but
our
meeting
of
agricultural
rural
affairs
committee
be
adjourned
and
it's
10
30
and
we
reconvene
and
the
next
meeting
court
of
revision
within
five
minutes
just
to
give
us
enough
time
to
lock
out
and
log
in
again.
Is
that
correct.
