confirmed.
Thank
you
so
much.
Our
first
item
on
the
agenda
is
Landmark
building
consultation
for
359
Kent
and
436
and
444
McLaren
Street
Properties
designated
under
part
five
of
the
Ontario
Heritage
Act,
the
development
application.
So
a
development
application
has
been
submitted
for
an
official
plan
in
zoning
bylaw
Amendment.
For
these
properties.
The
properties
are
located
within
the
center
town
hcd
and
are
designated
under
part
five
on
the
of
the
Ontario
Heritage
act.
The
application
is
being
submitted
as
a
landmark
building.
A
It
is
intended
that
Landmark
buildings
will
make
both
significant
and
exceptional
contributions
to
the
public
realm
and
overall
identity
of
Center
Town
part
of
the
review
process.
For
landmark
buildings
includes
that
a
council
approved
public
consultation
strategy
be
developed
by
the
applicant.
The

was
approved
by
Council
on
March
23
2022,
a
copy
of
the

and
the
supporting
document
one
are
attached
for
reference
and
was
circulated
to
members
of
the
committee
as
part
of
the
public
engagement
strategy.
The
first
consultation
with
the
built
Heritage
subcommittee
took
place
on
June
20th
2022,
and
the
second
consultation
will
take
place
at
the
upcoming
April
11th
bhc
meeting
Heritage
staff
will
give
a
brief
introduction
to
this
item,
and
the
applicant
team
will
provide
a
presentation
on
the
updated
design.
A
Members
will
be
able
to
ask
questions
and
provide
feedback
to
staff
at
the
meeting
during
this
meeting.
If
any.
In
relation
to
the
second
phase
of
consultation,
the
applicant
team
will
be
available
to
answer
questions
and
receive
feedback
in
addition
to
City
staff
there.
It's
important
to
note
that
there
is
no
application
under
the
Ontario
Heritage
act
at
this
time
and
staff
do
not
have
a
formal
position
on
the
file
but
have
engaged
through
the
planning
act.
Application
process
the
Heritage
permit-
is
expected
to
be
submitted
later
this
year.
E
Chair
I'll
just
do
a
very
brief
introduction,
because
I
think
you
covered
most
of
the
main
points.
I'll
just
make
two
additional
notes
that
the
Heritage
survey
forms
for
these
properties
are
on
file
and
they're
available
in
the
shared
folder.
If
you'd
like
to
see
those-
and
one
other
note
is
that
on
Friday
there's,
a
special
Urban
Design
review
panel
for
this
file
as
well,
and
that
is
open
to
the
the
public
can
can
attend
and
with
that
I'll
pass
it
over
to
the
applicant
who
I
see
are
here.
F
Today
we
will
be
reviewing
the
proposed
design
for
the
359
Kent
Street
Landmark
designated
site.
This
presentation
will
highlight
the
Heritage
components
that
have
been
retained
and
integrated
next
slide.
Please,
the
site
is
situated
between
Gilmore
Street
and
McLaren
Street
in
the
heart
of
Centertown.
Next
slide.
Please,
the
site
consists
of
two
existing
Heritage
homes
along
McLaren
Street
at
444
and
436,
as
well
as
the
legion
building
and
asphalt
surface
parking
lots
next
slide.
Please,
the
proposed
design
evolved
in
response
to
several
factors.
F
Retention
of
the
existing
Heritage
components
such
as
the
Heritage
Homes
at
444
and
436
McLaren,
were
crucial
to
maintaining
a
sense
of
place
and
reflecting
the
neighborhood's
history
and
streetscape
character.
Additionally,
the
proposed
design
retains
the
heritage
facades
of
the
Legion
building
at
the
intersection
of
Kent
and
Gilmore
along
the
south
and
west
facades.
F
The
proposed
design
also
aims
to
reinvent
Kent
Street
to
its
original
streetscape,
by
adding
mature
trees
and
green
space
for
users
of
the
site,
while
uniting
the
various
components
of
the
proposed
design.
The
tower
portion,
sustainability,
driven
form,
will
provide
density
and
contribute
to
the
ever-evolving
Ottawa
Skyline
next
slide.
Please
the
process
in
which
these
design
factors
led
to
the
pro
Pro's
design
can
be
exemplified
in
this
part,
T
diagram.
We
begin
with
the
existing
conditions
where
the
legion
building
and
Heritage
Homes
at
444
and
436
McLaren
are
situated.
F
Due
to
the
desire
for
increased
density
on
the
site,
an
additional
five-story
Podium
component
has
been
added
along
Gilmore
Street
Greenery
at
grade
wraps
around
the
Heritage
homes,
while
new
green
space
is
elevated
to
the
new
rooftop
podium,
the
30-story
tower
Mass,
a
result
of
the
reallocated
density
from
the
permitted
nine-story
yield
is
regulated
in
height
by
the
Parliamentary
viewed
plane.
Next
slide,
please,
the
tower
simple
form
is
derived
from
sustainability
initiatives.

Next
slide,
please
this
view
of
the
proposed
design
from
McLaren
and
Kent

shows
the
integration
of
the
West
facade
of
the
Legion
building,
as
well
as
the
retained
Heritage
homes
along
McLaren.
Street.
Next
slide,
please,
based
on
the
high-rise
design
guidelines.
We
have
segmented
the
proposed
design
into
four
components:
the
Heritage
Podium
and
public
realm
experienced
by
pedestrians,
the
level
6
Podium
Park,
containing
amenity
space
for
residents,
the
body
of
the
Tower
and
the
crown
encapsulating
mechanical
space
and
rooftop
amenities
next

G
It
features
elements
of
the
international
style
characterized
by
structural
simplicity,
of
its
form
and
a
streamlined
design.
It's
a
linear
composition
and
its
use
of
high
quality
materials,
including
smooth
face
Limestone
on
street
facades
and
aluminum
detailing
it
was
built
in
two
campaigns
both
designed
by
Kingston.

Pattern
between
rows,
the
inside
facades
or
you
shouldn't
say
inside,
but
they
rear
facades
of
the
building
are
a
buff
colored
brick,
but
with
the
same
pattern
in

the
horizontal
bands
of

on
the
South
and

facade
punctuated
with
a

Can
you
go
to
the
next
slide?
G
Please
yeah
the
two
Heritage
buildings
at
436,
McLaren
and
444
McLaren
they're
turn
of
the
century
buildings.
The
444
is
attributed
to
nafti
the
plan
for
the
two
buildings.
The
444
will
be
integrated
as
an
active
part
of
the
development,
with
the
intent
of
being
a
revitalization
of
the
surrounding
landscape
area
and
a
change
in
use
from
office
to
retailer
services.
G
The
exterior
of
both
the
McLaren
buildings
will
be
restored
and
will
remain
separate
from
the
Redevelopment
through
landscape
design,
which
permits
them
to
be
retained
as
part
of
the
center
Town
Heritage
fabric,
both
properties
will
be
maintained.
I
will
maintain
a
clearance,
East
West

Escape
character
next

Please.
G
G
These
will
be
tagged
and
removed
in
reverse
order
to
the
installation
from
the
top
down
set
on
pallets
and
stored
and
then
once
the
new,
the
new
tower
is,
is
constructed
reassembled,
the
Limestone
cladding
will
be
installed
on
a
on
a
new
concrete
structure
with
either
a
steel,
stud
or
concrete
block
infill
wall.
We
have
the
the
original
drawings
of
both
the
both
the
the
55
and
the
58
Edition.
G
We
have
a
fairly
good
idea
of
how
it
was
constructed
and
in
fact
we
the
sample
removal
is,
is
not
actually
the
Kent
Street
Building.
It's
it's
an
Argyle
building,
but
it's
built
at
the
same
time
and
with
approximate
we're
pretty
sure
the
same
detailing
the
the
materials
as
well
as
the
the
Limestone
potentially
will
try
and
maintain
the
the
Sills
as
well
to
to
complete
the
the
Demolition
and
reinstatement
of
this
of
this.
F
Thank
you
next
slide,
please,
the
rebuilt
Heritage
facade
anchors,
the
intersection
of
Kenton
Gilmore,
providing
a
familiar
sense
of
place
as
John
mentioned,
the
legion
buildings
ground
floor
is
currently
about
half
a
level
below
grade,
resulting
in
viewing
only
half
a
story
from
the
sidewalk
next
slide.
Please,
as
this
configuration
is
not
ideal
for
site
interaction,
the
proposed
design
elevates
level
one
to
meet
grade
and
improve
ground
level
activation
circulation
and
site.
Porosity
recessed
entrances
along
Gilmore
increased
the
sidewalk
width
allowing
for
a
landscape
buffer
and
an
improved
pedestrian
experience
next
slide.
Please.
F
So
here
are
a
few
views
of
the
existing
conditions
versus
the
proposed
design.
First,
we
are
looking
at
the
intersection
of
Kenton
Gilmore
from
the
West.
As
you
can
see
along
the
left
portion
of
the
West
facade
there,
the
opening
has
increased
and
you
can
see
that
grade
is
now
meeting
sidewalk
level
next
slide.
Please.
F
And
here
again,
we
have
the
intersection
of
Kenton
gilmart
viewing
from
the
south
once
again
seeing
how
the
ground
floor
has
been
opened
up
to
allow
more
light
into
the
ground
level,
spaces
create
better
circulation
and
increase
sidewalk
width
next
slide.
Please
the
image
on
the
right
shows:
Kent
Street
in
the
early
1950s
prior
to
the
legion
building
being
constructed.
F
F
Next
slide,
please
from
Gilmore
Street.
We
note
the
additional
Podium
component
set
back
from
the
Heritage
facade
as
a
means
of
increasing
sidewalk
width,
improving
The
Pedestrian
experience
and
allowing
for
landscape
elements
to
reflect
the
character
of
the
existing
Street
next
slide.
Please
next
slide
the
podium's
two
primary
forms
are
separated
by
a
setback,
glazed
portion
of
the
building,
providing
relief
from
and
distinguishing
the
existing
from
the
new
next
slide.
F
Please,
the
new
Podium
type
references,
the
existing
Heritage
facade
Statum,
which
is
reflective
of
other
buildings
along
Kent
Street
the
podium
steps
back
further
and
provides
transition
to
the
existing
neighborhood,
as
shown
in
the
diagram
of
the
right
next
slide.
Please,
the
segmented
phase
of
this
Podium
aimed
to
reflect
the
Rhythm
and
scale
of
the
street
single
family
homes,
while
the
red
red
materiality
and
textural
quality
further
ties
this
element
into
its
context.
F
The
site
is
organized
to
allow
primary
circulation
core
to
run
through
the
proposed
building.
The
purple
dashed
line
here,
connecting
Gilmore
Street
and
the
new
Green
Space
Between
The
Heritage
homes
and
proposed
design
accessed
via
Kent
Street.
The
porosity
of
the
new
ground
level
will
activate
the
street
and
draw
users
into
a
potential
Civic
use
space,
amenities
or
commercial
units.
F
The
added
Greenery
and
Landscape
elements
tie
together
the
various
uses
and
building
forms
to
create
a
unified
site
while
providing
spaces
for
community
members
to
pause,
gather
and
interact
next
slide.
Please,
the
landscape
plan
indicates
the
various
textures
surfaces
and
types
of
greenery
proposed
for
the
site.
F
The
parking
garage
located
below
the
proposed
building,
terminating
approximately,
where
the
entrance
arrival
space
Terrace
is
located,
allows
a
large
portion
of
the
site
to
provide
adequate
soil
depth
for
mature
trees
next
slide,
please
here's
a
view
of
the
proposed
entrance
off
of
Kent
Street,
inviting
users
into
the
site
and
providing
an
intimate
Courtyard
space
for
sitting
next
slide.
Please.
F
If
you're,
looking
South
along
10th
Street
is
indicative
of
the
landscape
elements
wrapping
around
and
linking
the
Heritage
homes
to
the
remainder
of
the
site.

Please
aside,
so

derived
from
sustainability
initiatives

be
simple
and

also
is
set
back
along
with
the
level
six
Podium
Parks
purposefully
in
set
from
the
Heritage
facade,
providing
relief
from
the
existing
form
and
allowing
the
towers
to
be
set
back
from
neighboring
buildings.
F
The
light
colored
materiality
also
aims
to
float
above
the
retained
facades,
as
opposed
to
a
heavier
darker,
more
imposing
form,
as
the
towers
experience
from
both
The
Pedestrian
level
and
further
away
as
part
of
the
Ottawa
Skyline.
Next

Please
there's
just
another
image
along
Gilmore,

architectural
language
while
encapsulating

F
A
I
Thanks
Chair
King
I
had
a
quick
question:
it's
a
really
thorough
presentation,
but
a
quick
question
specific
to
436
McLaren,
the
other
residential
house.
You
can
see
a
clear
relationship
between
the
tower
site
and
this.
This
retail,
supportive
amenity
but
436
seems
to
retain
its
original
residential
function
and
the
site
plans
seem
to
show
it
separate
from
that
broader
concept.
So
I
was
wondering
if
you
could
elaborate
a
bit
on
what
that
envisioned
role
is
how
it
ties
into
the
development
and
I
suppose
why
why
it
was
acquired
in
support
of
this.
J
F
That
question
so
436
is
potentially
a
site
for
civic
use.
It
is
not
currently
determined
what
the
Civic
use
space
will
be,
there's
potential
for
it
to
be
within
the
legion
building
itself
or
potentially
in
the
436
building.
So
the
use
may
change,
but
also
the
site
integration,
we're
hoping
to
continue
to
wrap
the
greenery
around
to
the
front
of
436
and
also
integrate
the
kind
of
rear
yard
of
that
of
that
site
so
that
they
are
seamlessly
tied
to
the
rest
of
the
development.
J
That's
okay,
I
mean
it
still
does
remain
a
little
bit
of
a
question
mark
in
terms
of
what
the
final
use
of
that
particular
house
will
be.
As
mentioned
as
Laura
mentioned,
it
is
a
little
bit
open-ended
and
we,
you
know,
as
the
process
develops,
and
we
finalize
the
user
we'll
be
able
to
finalize
how
it
gets
integrated
into
the
remaining
landscape
concept.
K
K
Overall,
this
is
a
a
nice
pre,
a
nice
development,
the
integration
of
the
historic
buildings
and
the
work
that
has
gone
into
half
the
legion
building
makes
sense
and
be
integrated,
because
it's
challenging
the
way
it
is
located
on
the
corner
as
close
to
the
corner
as
it
is,
and
I'm
all,
and
also
the
change
heading
along
Gilmore
to
the
new
construction.
That
is
clearly
trying
to
have
a
better
relationship
with
the
traditional
red
brick
buildings
of
Center
town
that
exist
to
the
east
on
Gilmore,
but
I'm.
K
A
E
Ahead,
thank
you
chair.
Yes,
this
does
require
an
official
plan
Amendment
and
a
zoning
Amendment
as
well.
It
will
be
rezoned
from
R4
to
General
mixed
use.
The
current
permitted
height
is
18
meters
and
it
will
be
zoned
to
109
meters
and
I
just
wanted
to
make
it
clear
that
this
is
part
they're
at
this
community
meeting
as
a
consultation
as
part
of
their
consultation
strategy,
and
they
will
be
back
in
front
of
committee
for
a
Heritage
permit
application
as
well.
E
K
K
K
J
Sure
I'll
speak
quickly
to
the
the
notion
of
mature
trees
on
site.
What
we're
able
to
do
in
this
particular
scenario
is
that
the
parking
garage
basically
under
the
new
building
is
basically
strictly
under
the
new
component,
which
allows
us
actually
to
plant
real
trees
and
have
real
root
systems
you
know
and
allowing
for
mature
growth
over
time.
L
J
Of
the
site
and
on
Gilmore
we'll
be
ensuring
that
we
have
appropriate
soil
depth
and
tree
cells,
soil
cells
for
the
trees
to
grow
to
a
a
you
know,
decent
growth.
Obviously
you
know
they
will
be
somewhat
limited
because
of
the
parking
deck
underneath,
but
we'll
do
what
we
can
to
provide
soil
cells
for
them.
K
I
think
that's
really
important,
because
we've
just
seen
we've
seen
beautiful
things
Illustrated
before
us
that
are
very,
very
difficult
to
actually
Implement.
So
it's
good
to
see
that
you
have
a
an
eye,
a
strategy
in
place
to
to
make
that
happen
more
successful.
That's
all
I
have
for
now.
Thank
you.
M
Thank
you
so
much
chair,
so
just
to
let
the
committee
know
I've
met
with
the
applicant
once
and
we
also
had,
which
I
believe
was
the
second
public
consultation.
So
I
will
let
you
know
that
the
the
community
is
much
happier
with
this
design
overall,
especially
the
street
level.
Interaction
I
was
wondering
two
things.
First
of
all,
can
we
just
clarify
because
you
keep
referring
to
the
sixth
floor
Podium
as
a
park,
but
this
is
a
private
space.
Yes,.
J
Yes,
currently,
we
have
here
marked
about
2
000
square
feet
at
the
prime
corner
of
the
ground
floor,
which
is
located
at
the
corner
of
Kent
and
Gilmore
Street,
and
basically
that
is
one
option.
We
also
have
a
few
other
options
in
terms
of
where
we
could
potentially
put
the
Civic
Q
space,
depending
on
the
user
that
comes
along
and
established
that
time
of
site
plan
control.
J
J
J
I,
don't
think
we've
set
an
actual
commitment.
I
know
that
the
our
client
is
is
engaged
with
cmhc
and
looking
at
the
options
that
are
available
and
providing
affordable
housing
I
know
that
it
certainly
is
on
our
radar
and
we
intend
on
making
equipment
I.
Just
can't
tell
you
exactly
what
those
numbers
are
at
this
point.
M
Okay,
thank
you
very
much.
Well,
we
will
certainly
have
a
follow-up
about
Community
benefits
and
affordable
housing,
but
I
did
want
to
let
the
committee
to
know
know
that
overall,
the
feedback
from
the
community
associations
and
from
local
neighbors
was
much
more
positive
towards
this.
Most
recent
iteration
yeah.
A
A
D
D
What
are
our
tools
to
ensure
that
the
that
that
architecture
is
preserved?
Moving
forward,
the
the
proposals
for
the
architecture
that
they're
looking
at
I
would
hate
to
see
this
you
know
approved
and
then
value
engineered
into
something.
Much
less
striking
is
our
main
control
of
that
through
the
Heritage
permit
process
or
because
or
or
is
there
a
site
plan
leverage
that
we
have.
E
Thank
you,
counselor
Libra,
yes,
that's
correct.
The
Heritage
permit
process
will
ensure
that
the
conservation
approach
that
was
outlined
by
the
applicant
during
that
presentation,
the
idea
of
numbering
all
the
pieces,
storing
them
and
reconstructing
them.
That
will
be
a
condition
of
any
Heritage
permit.
So
it
will
ensure
that
the
work
takes
place.
D
E
E
Yes,
absolutely
we'll
have
the
renderings
for
illustration,
but
then
we'll
have
the
elevations
as
well.
They'll
be
tied
to
those
plans.
Those
plans
are
stamped
to
building
permit
and
have
the
materials
indicated
on
them.
So
we're
very
careful
in
in
terms
of
what
we
sign
off
even
after
the
design
comes
forward.
C
C
To
ensure
that
the
city
can
actually
reap
all
those
benefits
in
trading
for
the
additional
height
on
the
site,
I
think
that
it
is
a
positive
thing.
What
will
also
be
interesting
is
whether
in
Center
town,
you
have
the
incentive
for
many
more
sites
being
designated
as
Landmark
sites
and
I.
Think
that
the
you
know
the
measuring
of
how
many
Landmark
sites
are
available
in
Centertown
and
realize
that
way
will
be
something
that
we
have
to
watch
in
the
future,
and
so
those
are
my
only
comments
at
this
point
chair.
Thank
you.
I
Thank
you
chair,
one
of
the
pieces
that
we've
seen
more
and
more
in
applications
like
this,
and
certainly
through
this
one,
is
the
application
of
sustainability
principles
to
projects
that
also
have
a
Heritage
component,
and
it
is
really
wonderful
to
see.
This
is
more
of
a
I
suppose
a
question
for
staff.
But
how
does
this
application
and
the
features
that
have
been
proposed
intersect
with
the
city's
new
high
performance
development
standards,
which
I
understand
are
currently
not
in
effect,
but
intended
to
be.
E
J
J
J
Where
you
know
we
will
seek
to
engage
with
the
city
in
terms
of
sharing
that
on
how
the
building
performs
down
the
road,
perhaps
even
with
educational
Partners
as
well,
and
certainly
you
know,
looking
at
waste
diversion
making
sure
that
we're
we're
sensitive
to
those
sorts
of
of
sustainability
items,
but
certainly
the
hpds
is
definitely
on
our
radar
and
understanding.
How
that
all.
J
At
this
point,
I
mean
the
hpds
are
already
a
fairly
high
standard
from
a
North
American
perspective
coming
from
the
Toronto
I
think
the
Toronto's
fourth
version
of
TGs
tier
one,
which
is,
which
is
you
know,
quite
quite
significant,
and
so
it's
it's
honor.
It's
on
our
radar,
as
I
mentioned
and
we'll
be
seeking
to
meet
those.
G
A
Thank
you,
so
much
I
don't
see
any
other
questions.
So
I
really
do
want
to
thank
the
presenters
once
again
on
behalf
of
the
applicant,
as
well
as
staff
for
for
their
interventions
and
I'd,
also
like
to
remind
members
of
the
committee
that
they
can
continue
to
submit
feedback
and
comments
on
this
file
to
Miss
Fritz
Patrick.
N
N
The
building
is
a
three-story
mixed-use
building,
historically
known
as
the
Iona
mansions
mansions
was
a
common
name
in
the
early
20th
century
for
a
walk-up
apartment
building.
So
you'll
hear
me
using
it
in
the
the
singular
but
I
understand
the
grammar
sounds
weird,
so
it
is
the
Iona
Mansions
not
as
a
singular
item.
N
N
Part
four
of
the
Heritage
Act
is
individual
buildings
that
were
properties
that
we
are
designating
versus
part
five
being
Heritage
conservation
districts
in
order
to
be
designated
under
part
four
of
the
act,
the
a
property
must
meet
at
least
two
of
the
nine
criteria
outlined
in
Ontario
regulation
906,
which
establishes
the
criteria
to
determine
if
a
property
is
of
cultural
heritage,
value
or
interest,
rather
than
including
all
of
the
criteria.
In
this
presentation
they
are
attached
to
the
staff
report
document
three,
it's
page
13
of
the
report.
N
N
The
new
changes
to
the
Heritage
act
require
that
if
Council
does
not
issue
a
notice
of
intention
to
designate
properties
that
are
currently
listed
on
the
register
by
January
1st
2025,
it
will
require
to
be
removed.
So
we
will
be
moving
forward
with
a
variety
of
designations
over
the
coming
months,
and
this
is
one
of
the
early
ones
next
slide,
please
so
in
terms
of
the
cultural
heritage,
value
and
evaluation
of
this
property.
As
noted
on
the
previous
slide,
Ontario
regulation
906
outlines
the
criteria.
N
This
property
has
design
associative
and
contextual
value.
According
to
the
criteria,
the
building
has
design
value
for
its
unique
and
eclectic
architectural
expression
that
evokes
elements
of
the
Tudor
Revival
style.
It's
mixed
cladding
materials,
including
brick,
stucco
and
half
timbering,
its
storefronts
with
recessed,
entryways
and
large
display
window
openings
and
its
architectural
details,
including
wooden
flower
boxes,
decorative
wood
brackets
round
arch
window
openings
and
the
Oriole
windows
on
the
west
facade
all
contribute
to
the
design
value
of
the
building.
N
The
property
is
associated
with
Donald
McLean,
who
is
a
prominent
politician
in
late
19th
and
early
20th
century
Ottawa,
who
commissioned
the
building.
It's
also
associated
with
the
growth
of
hintenburg's,
Main
Street
and
the
growth
of
the
village
itself.
The
Rosemont
public
library
was
an
early
tenant
in
this
building
before
moving
to
their
current
location,
and
there
were
several
long-standing
commercial
tenants
that
are
significant
to
the
neighborhood
history.
N
It
foreshadows
his
extensive
later
work
in
the
Spanish
colonial
revival,
Style
and
then
finally,
the
property
has
contextual
value
for
its
role
in
defining
the
historic
character
of
this
section
of
Wellington
Street
West,
representing
the
evolution
of
Hindenburg
into
a
thriving
Village
in
the
early
20th
century.
The
property
is
a
significant
landmark
in
the
community.
N
Following
the
curve
of
Wellington
Street,
you
can
see
in
the
bottom
right
hand
corner
of
the
slide.
The
building
has
an
irregular
shape.
That
kind
of
follows
the
follows
the
road
and
has
a
chamfered,
which
means
a
sliced
off
corner
at
the
corner
of
Wellington
and
the
Carruthers
that
help
establish
it
as
a
prominent
building
at
that
corner.
N
Next
slide,
please
just
to
go
through
some
of
the
Heritage
attributes
of
the
property,
so
staff
are
recommending
that
the
following
attributes
be
identified.
The
phys
these
are
physical
attributes,
that
of
the
building
that
reflect
its
design
value
as
a
representative
work
of
ottawa's
of
Ottawa
architect,
w
e
nofkey,
including
the
symmetrical
facade,
the
central
parapet
with
curved
pediment,
the
chamfer
corner
I
just
mentioned
the
steeply
pitched
skirt
roof
with
large
wooden
eaves
and
wood
brackets.
N
The
property
owner
is
aware
of
the
proposed
designation
I
understand
they
are
here
today.
Heritage
Ottawa
and
the
hintonburg
Community
Association
are
were
notified
of
the
proposed
designation.
I
understand
they've,
submitted
letters
to
the
committee
and
the
ward.
Counselor
was
also
notified
of
the
proposed
designation
next
slide.
N
So
through
research
and
evaluation
staff
have
determined
that
the
Iona
Mansions
meet
six
of
the
nine
criteria
required
for
designation
under
Section
29
of
the
Heritage
act,
and
as
such,
we
are
recommending
that
council
issue
a
notice
of
intention
to
designate
under
part
five
or
sorry
part.
Four
of
the
Heritage
act,
according
to
the
statement
of
cultural
heritage,
value
which
is
attached
to
the
staff
report.
As
document
5.
and
that's
my
presentation
for
today,
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
A
Thank
you
so
much
for
the
in-depth
presentation
we
did
receive
correspondence
submitted
to
the
clerk's
office
on
this
file.
We
did
receive
letters
of
support
from
Hinton
bird
Community
Association,
as
well
as
Heritage
Ottawa,
as
well
as
four
letters
and
support
from
area
residents,
as
well
as
a
letter
not
in
support
from
the
the
owner
who's
asking
that
the
building
be
maintained
on
the
Heritage
reference
list,
but
not
designated
part
four
of
the
Ontario
Heritage
act.
We
do
have
registered
speakers,
including
the
owner
and
the
first
registered
speaker,
is
Allison
Albert.
O
My
name
is
Allison
Albert
I
would
like
to
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
to
you
today
anyway.
I'm
talking
about
the
registering
it
under
the
designation
of
part
for
the
Heritage
act.
I
just
want
to
give
you
some
information
on
the
property.
It
is
owned
by
644067
Ontario
limited.
It
was
purchased
on
February
20th
2003.,
my
father,
Edward
moger
is
the
president
and
100
shareholder
of
the
company.
The
building
is
currently
managed
by
domicile
Commercial
Management
of
Richmond
Road.
O
My
father
has
invested
a
lot
of
money
in
restoration
and
not
grad
at
an
upgrade
cost
during
the
past
20
20
years,
and
as
you
have
noticed
that
he
has
also
maintained
the
facade
and
kept
the
building
the
way
it
looks.
These
costs
include
but
are
not
limited
to
a
new
roof.
All
windows
were
replaced
outside
of
the
building
was
painted,
the
front
fire
escape
was
upgraded,
all
electrical
and
plumbing
was
updated.
Stacks
and
sewer
pipes,
which
was
a
huge
job,
were
replaced.
O
Hydro
room
built
laundry
room
built
and
all
units
have
been
renovated
since,
where
our
ownership
I
am
I
would
like
to
please
give
to
you
more
concerns
regarding
our
building
being
registered
and
part
of
the
procedure
that
took
place
for
us
finding
out.
We
were
aware
at
the
purchase
of
the
building
on
the
hair
that
was
on
the
Heritage
list.
O
This
was
referenced
on
our
letter
of
Direction
at
purchase.
We
were
informed
on
July
28
2022
that
a
request
was
received
by
the
Heritage
Committee
in
2018
to
put
our
building
on
the
city's
Heritage
register.
Four
years
later,
we
were
informed
on
August,
2nd,
the
22,
the
I,
don't
own.
A
Mansions
11
23
to
1131
Wellington
Street
was
added
to
the
cities,
cities
Heritage
register
on
November
25th
2020..
O
In
this
letter
we
were
told
two
mailings
were
sent
to
the
owners
of
the
building
November,
2nd
and
December
14
2020.
with
their
intentions.
We
never
receive
these
letters.
We
were
told
in
writing
from
Adrian.
They
were
meant
to
the
mpac
mailing
address,
which
is
my
home
address
in
reference
to
those
letters.
I
did
get
a
copy
on
November
on
November,
sorry
on
August,
2nd
with
regards
to
those
letters,
and
both
those
letters
were
not
addressed
to
us.
They
were
just
like
a
blank
letter
saying
we
have
a
notice
of
intention.
O
I
thought
that
was
a
bit
strange.
Adrian
notified
us
on
September
22nd
in
22
that
he
was
transferring
to
a
different
department
and
that
Greg
McPherson
would
be
taking
over
our
designation
file
from
him.
We
never
heard
from
Greg
McPherson
due
to
the
changes
made
in
November
of
22
from
Bill
from
for
Bill
23.
Increased
criteria
for
designation
the
bill.
23
Amendment
will
require
once
effective
that
a
property
meet
additional
criteria,
as
prescribed
in
regulation
to
be
designated
as
a
Heritage
Property,
as
we
did
not
hear
from
Greg
McPherson
or
the
Heritage
office.
O
So,
due
to
these
changes
to
Bill
23,
we
honestly
thought
they
were
not
going
forward
with
a
part
for
designation
on
March
1st.
Six
months
later,
we
received
an
email
from
Leslie
Collins,
who
told
us
the
city
of
Ottawa
designation
was
going
forward
and
we
met
with
Leslie
and
had
a
very
informative
meeting
with
her
on
March
15th
to
discuss
the
application.
O
Please
note
a
few
discrepancies
from
the
historical
information
being
put
forward
by
the
Heritage
committee
and
the
City
of
ottawa's
permit
records
on
purchase
of
the
building.
The
following
was
noted
on
the
letter
of
Direction
by
the
lawyers
involved
in
the
sale,
pernoff
a
radnoff
pearl,
Slover,
swedko
and
dwarskin
part
five.
Six
of
that
letter
said
the
city
of
Ottawa
has
no
record
of
a
building
permit
authorized
in
the
enlargement
of
the
building
to
three
stories
or
the
replacement
of
the
balconies
at
the
rear
of
the
building
I.
O
We
being
the
lawyers
confirm
being
advised
that
the
city
of
Ottawa
has
authorized
the
changes
to
the
building
its
records,
indicating
at
time
of
issuance,
which
is
January.
Sorry,
which
is
February
2003..
Its
records,
indicating
at
time
of
issuance
of
certain
permits
that
it
is
a
three-story
building
and
as
per
records.
The
building
the
record
of
building
permits,
issued
and
recorded
by
the
city
of
Ottawa.
O
O
There
are
no
records
as
to
when
the
building
had
the
upper
floors
built
and
it
it
isn't
until
a
permit
number
3940,
January
17
1948,
that
a
third
story
fire
escape
was
added
and
mentioned
in
the
permits.
The
only
item
we
have
received
is
a
1912
Gold's
fire
insurance
plan.
That
said,
the
building
was
under
construction
with
a
three
written
on
the
left-hand
corner,
meaning
it
was
going
to
be
three
stories.
This
may
have
been
the
intention,
but
no
permits
were
issued
to
confirm
it.
O
O
One
criteria
we
both
agree
on
is
that
the
building
is
definitely
a
landmark
and
has
been
very
well
maintained
for
the
past
20
years.
The
only
special
tenant
of
historical
interests
was
the
Rosemont
branch
of
the
public
library
who
outgrew
the
Rosemont
school
and
waited
until
its
existing
home
was
built
before
moving
back
to
Rosemont
Avenue
other
than
that
it
has
been
a
mixed-use
store
and
apartment
building,
with
certainly
some
stores
that
are
well
known.
It
is
unclear
to
us
if
it
needs
to
be
designated
under
part.
O
Four
of
the
Heritage
Act
in
closing
the
building
was
purchased
with
the
knowledge
that
a
lot
of
work
and
money
would
be
needed
to
restore
the
building
and
make
it
a
good
investment
property
which
was
as
a
10
intentional
use
at
the
beginning.
Please
be
aware
that
the
lack
of
parking
for
customers
and
tenants
alike
has
been
a
constant
concern
on
that
section
of
Wellington.
O
O
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Miss
Albert
and
I
did
give
you
some
some
leeway
because
the
letter
was
just
circulated
this
morning,
so
just
so
to
so.
My
colleagues
know
why
I
permitted
you
to
go
over
the
five
minutes.
You
do
have
a
question.
Well,
I
just
thought
it
would
be
fair
for
for
them
to
hear
that
hearing.
I
wasn't
sure
if
the
letter
had
been
circulated,
but
we
do
have
a
question
for
you
from
counselor
Lieber,
councilor
Lieber.
Thank.
D
You
very
much
and
good
morning,
Allison,
so
I
am
the
the
ward
counselor
for
for
kitchen
sippy,
I'm,
sorry
I'm
at
home,
sick
today,
so
Allison
I
I
will
have
questions
for
staff
about
the
process.
I
assume
that
they
followed
what
is
legally
required
of
them.
Much
more
important
to
me
is
whether
or
not
the
building
meets
the
criteria
for
designation.
I
would
absolutely
hate
to
see
this
building
put
on
the
market
and
then
demolish
a
building
that
is
on
the
Heritage.
D
Reference
list
means
that
the
city
has
60
days
in
order
to
determine
whether
or
not
a
building
should
be
designated
and
and
issue
a
decision
as
to
whether
or
not
it's
going
to
be
designated.
It's
kind
of
a
last
hope
for
designation
for
important
buildings.
I
do
believe
that
this
building
is
an
important
one
to
keep
I
have
not
seen
your
letter.
D
I
will
take
a
look
at
it
very
carefully,
but
in
the
highlighting
that
you've
done
of
the
discrepancies
between
what
the
staff
report
says
and
your
understanding
of
the
building's
history
I
do
want
to
make
sure
I
understand.
Are
there?
Are
there
elements
of
that?
Narrative
of
the
differing
narratives,
that
would
mean
this
building
does
not
qualify
in
your
view
for
designation
under
the
criteria
as
set
out
by
the
ACT.
O
A
good
question
I
mean
there
was
it's
each
each
point
can
be
debated
both
ways.
I
guess
in
many
in
many
ways,
I
said
I
certainly
do
agree.
That
is
a
landmark
building.
It
has
been
maintained.
It
has
had
a
lot
of
changes.
The
back
section
of
it
is
not
very
nice
to
look
at
in
reference
to
the
two
sides
to
say
that
it
meets
the
criteria.
Some
of
the
criteria,
I,
would
say:
she's
got
a
six
of
nine
I'm,
looking
at
possibly
four
of
nine.
O
O
D
I'm
going
to
read
the
letter
very
carefully
when,
when
we
see
that
I'll
take
a
look
in
my
inbox
here,
it's
it's
an
incredible
building.
The
the
corner
of
Caruthers
and
Wellington
is
the
first
place.
I
take
people
on
hintonburg
tours.
It
is
the
most
interesting
Corner
in
Ottawa.
You've
got
a
great
new
tenant
now,
with
the
Spaniel's
tale,
who
have
added
a
lot
to
the
neighborhood
Pat
McLeod
was
a
long
time
tenant,
after
whom
we've
named
the
the
stage
at
Parkdale
Park.
D
It's
part
and
parcel
of
our
community
at
that
building
and
I
I
just
want
to
express
my
gratitude
to
you
and
your
father
for
preserving
it
so
well
and
putting
in
that
investment.
It's
not
every
landlord.
Who
would
do
that
on
a
building
that
is
not
designated.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
doing
that
chair.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
P
P
I
was
wondering.
Could
we
see
the
first
slide
that
sort
of
the
the
page
that
title
page?
Yes,
thank
you
I
learned
when
I
was
starting
to
give
walking
tours
of
Hindenburg
and
had
done
some
of
the
some
research
on
this
building
that
in
the
neighborhood,
it's
not
known
as
the
Iona
Mansions,
it's
known
as
the
angel
building,
and
you
can
see
why,
if
you
look
at
the
center
the
shape
of
the
stucco
in
between
the
two
roof
sections,
this
is
something
that
is
community
knowledge.
P
It's
not
recorded
anywhere
the
it
is,
as
Council
reefer
said,
a
very
important
building
to
us
in
the
neighborhood.
It
was
part
of
our
first
walking
tour,
which
we
undertook
in
1993
when
we
discovered
that
the
village
had
been
Incorporated
in
I'm.
Sorry
in
we
we
did
the
walking
tour
in
yeah
1993
The
Village
was
incorporated
in
1893.
It
was
the
100th
anniversary.
P
The
building
obviously
wasn't
there
with
respect
to
some
of
the
concerns
raised
by
or
questions
raised
by,
Mrs
Albert,
the
information
that
has
not
been
referred
to
in
either
the
report
or
in
in
the
letter
there
is
information
from
City
directories
which
lists
and
I
guess
we
don't
do
that
anymore.
Do
we,
but
the
historic
City
directories
list
an
address
and
then
what's
at
that
address,
and
the
city
directories
do
indicate
that
there
were
a
number
of
apartments
and
I
the
net.
They
were
numbered.
P
P
Building
building
permit
research
I'd
be
interested
to
talk
to
Ms
Albert,
where
she
got
that
information,
because
I
was
told
that
a
lot
of
building
permits
were
lost
in
the
early
building
permits
for
the
city
of
Ottawa
were
lost
in
a
couple
of
City
Hall
fires,
but
the
we
do
have
I
think
sufficient
evidence.
I
can't
remember
what
the
nofkey
notebook
said
about
the
building
it
is.
P
P
The
plans
for
this
building
do
not
exist,
but
the
Parkdale
building
was
a
similar
three-story
apartment.
Building
looked
like
it
was
going
to
be
pretty
luxurious.
He
also
did
some
sketches
very
preliminary
sketches
for
a
theater
movie,
theater,
I,
think
and
apartment
on
the
corner
of
Irving
and
Wellington,
where
I
now
live
in
the
Eddie
apartment.
P
I'm
trying
to
think
what
else
I
I
had
to
change
this,
because
I
wasn't
aware.
I
was
aware
that
the
owners
had
concerns.
Oh
one
of
the
things
that
I
did
meet
Mr
and
Mrs
moger
on
the
corner
one
day
when
they
were
looking
at
the
building
and
I
chatted
with
them
about
it
and
how
important
it
was,
and
they
I
congratulated
them
on
the
work
that
they
had
done
on
it
and
I
have
every
walking
tour
I
give
I
always
mention
how
this
building
has
been
carefully
maintained
by
its
current
owners.
P
A
D
You
Linda
thank
you
very
much
for
being
out
today
and
thank
you
for
the
Hindenburg
Community
association's
been
doing
to
protect
the
heritage
of
our
neighborhood
I
I
hope
we
see
more
designations
moving
forward
in
the
rush
to
the
the
bill.
23
deadline,
Linda
you,
you
heard
Allison's
differences
with
the
staff
report.
D
P
P
I
think
is
not
proof
that
the
building
wasn't
built
in
it
wasn't
built
at
the
time
more
or
less
that
the
the
report
says
it
is,
and
so
I
don't
think
that
that
it
could
be
evidence
that
would
disprove
the
need
or
they
the
disprove,
the
fact
that
it
should
be
designated.
No,
it's
not
doesn't
stand
in
the
way.
Okay,.
A
A
C
I
think
that's
the
the
the
staff
report
and
the
should
be
amended
and
adjusted
so
that
there
is
a
a
long-term
record
and
that
the
reports
that
come
to
Council
on
the
Heritage
attributes
are
really
reliable.
So
it
could
be
just
a
small
thing
that
could
be
undertaken
even
after
the
council
approves
the
definition.
If
it
does.
Thank
you.
D
Thank
you
very
much,
chair
and
I
do
agree
with
member
vidalski.
It
is
important
that
the
report
be
accurate.
These
are
our
important
histories
and
they
have
legal
consequences
in
in
terms
of
the
description
of
the
properties
I,
just
wondering
from
staff
how
you
propose
working
before
Council
through
the
list
of
potential
discrepancies
that
the
owner
has
provided
us.
N
Three
Mr
chair,
the
owner,
had
provided
many
of
those
comments
to
staff
when
I
met
with
her
and
her
father
on
March,
15th
and
I
have
reviewed
those
since
I
think
as
Ms
hode
alluded
to
building
permit
records
in
Ottawa
as
a
historical
research
tool
are
very
challenging.
Most
of
the
building
permit
records
in
the
city
were
lost
in
the
1931
City
Hall
fire
so
from
a
staff
perspective.
I
feel
fairly
confident
or
quite
confident
that
the
historical
research
is
accurate.
N
We
have
the
fire
insurance
plans
from
1912,
1922
and
1947
that
all
show
the
building
as
a
three-story
mixed-use
building.
We
have
the
biographical
dictionary
of
Architects
in
Canada,
which
outlines
all
of
nofkey's
Works,
and
it
shows
this
as
stores
on
Wellington
Street
for
Donald
McLean
in
1911.,
and
we
have
looked
at
the
lofke
notebook
for
that
as
well.
N
At
the
library
in
Archives
Canada,
so
I
mean
we
have
done
a
request
to
our
building
code,
Services
Department,
to
pull
any
permits
that
they
have
available
because
I
will
say
the
appearance
of
a
1925
permit
is
very
unusual
and
Otto
I've,
never
seen
one
in
my
time
and
doing
historical
research
here
so
I'm
trying
to
get
my
hands
on
that.
Just
to
see
what
it
says.
N
It
does
say
it's
a
one-story,
cinder
block,
building,
which
my
expectation
is
that
that
may
be
a
outbuilding
or
garage
or
something
in
the
rear,
as
opposed
to
the
primary
building
which
was
constructed
in
1912
of
based
on
all
the
historical
ones.
We
have
available
to
us
so
I'm,
not
sure
Beyond.
Looking
at
that
building
permit
that
we've
requested
that
there's
really
a
whole
lot
more
in
terms
of
exhausting
the
historic
record
that
we
could
find.
D
Okay,
I
I'll
just
make
a
quick
note
that
local
historian,
Dave
Alston,
who
we
all
know
and
and
have
a
lot
of
respect
for,
has
the
1922
fire
insurance
plan.
That
shows
us
three
stories
and
so
I've
got
some
comfort
from
Dave.
That
your
report
is
is
correct
and,
of
course,
I
fully
respect
the
work
that
you
do
as
professionals.
So
that
gives
me
some
some
significant
Comfort.
Thank
you
very
much,
sir.
A
A
I
appreciate
that
I
think
in
terms
of
the
letter
that
was
circulated
just
want
you
to
know
that
staff
has
worked
on
scanning
that
letter
and
they're
going
to
ensure
that
it
is
circulated
to
the
committee.
That
unfortunately,
was
just
submitted
late,
but
we
want
to
ensure
that
that
information
is
circulated
to
the
committee.
C
A
E
E
Just
go
ahead
with
the
presentation:
yeah,
oh
actually
yeah.
We
can
do
the
English
one
here
and
I'll
just
make
a
note
to
members
of
committee
that
we'll
be
presenting
just
on
the
staff
report.
So
it's
not
a
direct
response
to
to
member
podolski's
motion
but
we'd
be
happy
to
speak
to
it
after
so
this
report
is
on
the
cultural
heritage,
evaluation
of
the
former
Canadian
Pacific
Railway,
Bridge
I.
Guess
I
can
do
my
own
selective.
This
will
work.
E
It's
located
on
the
Rideau
River
South
of
Highway,
417
and
adjacent
to
the
University
of
Ottawa
Lee's
campus,
some
information
on
the
bridge.
It
was
built
in
1898
as
the
eight
span
through
plate
girder
bridge.
It
was
constructed
as
a
passenger
line
from
Ottawa
to
Montreal
and
was
operated
by
the
Canadian
Pacific
Railway.
It
was
abandoned
in
1966,
converted
to
a
pedestrian
and
cycling
bridge
and
retained
by
the
city
in
1996.
It
currently
has
no
Heritage
status.
E
Some
background.
In
terms
of
why
the
report
is
in
front
of
the
committee
today
in
October
22
built
Heritage
committee,
a
motion
was
carried
that
with
direction
to
staff,
to
undertake
an
evaluation
of
the
Heritage
value
of
the
bridge,
submit
a
report
on
with
the
Heritage
evaluation
and
recommendations
on
designation
and
consider
stabilization
works
if
needed,
to
prevent
deterioration
of
the
bridge.
E
So
the
first
recommendation
is
to
receive
the
Heritage
evaluation
and
Analysis
report
for
information.
That's
attached,
as
document
5.
staff
reviewed
the
the
bridge
similar
to
the
criteria
Leslie
just
just
used
for
the
previous
property.
We
use
that
same
criteria
and
determined
it
met
three
of
the
nine
criteria
under
0906.
It's
an
early
representative
representative
example
of
a
through
plate,
girder
bridge.
It's
a
remnant
of
the
historical
rail
infrastructure
leading
to
the
core
of
the
city,
and
it
is
historically
and
functionally
linked
to
its
surroundings.
E
Staff
are
not
recommending
designation
at
this
time.
The
bridge
does
have
some
cultural
heritage
value,
but
alterations
conditions,
and
a
significant
change
in
context
have
impacted
that
significance.
Some
of
the
alterations
to
the
bridge
include
three
major
rehabilitations,
the
encasement
of
the
masonry
piers
and
abutments.
In
concrete,
the
replacement
of
the
wood,
decking
Timber
ties
or
Timber
rail
ties
and
Timber
curb
and
the
28.
The
2018
study
identified
that
the
bridge
is
an
overall
poor
condition,
with
several
components
showing
Advanced
Signs
of
deterioration.
E
Those
components
include
the
steel
elements
above
and
below
the
deck,
the
Steel
Coating
systems
and
the
coatings
on
the
abutments
and
piers,

would
say
it
would
be
the
changing
context.
So
the
surroundings
of
the
bridge
have
shifted
dramatically.
You
can
see
the
historic
photo
at
the
top
and
the
current
photo
today.
The
reconfiguration
of
its
connections
and
the
development
of
major
transportation
corridors
have
physically
and
Visually
disconnected
the
bridge
from
the
core.
It
has
minimized.
E
N
I'm
just
going
to
take
over
for
Anne
for
a
moment,
she's
losing
her
voice.
So,
oh
now,
I'm
gonna
call
recommendation.
Two
of
the
staff
report
is
to
ensure
that
the
municipal
class
environmental
assessment
includes
identification
and
consideration
of
the
cultural
heritage
value,
as
outlined
in
the
Heritage
evaluation
analysis
report
and
an
evaluation
of
all
renewal
options,
including
a
rehabilitation
option
that
would
include
retention
of
the
bridge.
E
So
staff
are
recommending
that
we
that
the
municipal
E
Class
EA
process
take
place,
as
I
mentioned,
that
was
recommended
out
of
the
2018
study.
The
municipal
classier
will
look
at
a
wide
range
of
factors:
land
use
planning,
social
environment,
indigenous
peoples,
economic
and
cultural
environment
which
includes
built
heritage.
E
So
what
other
information
will
that
provide
staff
with
Heritage
studies
like
the
cultural
heritage
evaluation
report,
a
Heritage
impact
assessment,
a
conservation
plan?
It
will
look
at
a
wide
range
of
conservation
options,
including
retention
of
the
bridge
minor
modifications,
Bridge
replacement
with
a
sympathetic
structure
and
will
provide
for
additional
consultation
opportunities.
E
E
And
then
the
last
slide
is
about
structural
maintenance,
which
was
the
third
point
of
the
original
direction
to
staff,
and
it's
just
a
note
that
the
bridge
safety
is
currently
being
maintained
through
regular
inspections
and
minor
repairs.
Deterioration
will
be
addressed
through
the
life
cycle,
renewal
analysis
and
the
bridge
renewal
efforts
are
prioritized
based
on
risk
and
criticality,
and
then
I
just
wanted
to
make
a
note
that
Heritage
staff
have
been
working
closely
with
staff
in
infrastructure
and
water
services,
and
they
are
also
here
here
today.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
so
much
for
that
detailed
presentation.
We
did
receive
correspondence
that
was
submitted
to
the
clerk's
office
on
this
item
that
included
letters
of
support
from
the
old
Ottawa
East
Community
Association,
as
well
as
Heritage
Ottawa,
as
well
as
four
letters
and
support
from
residents,
which
also
included
a
petition.
We
do
have
one
speaker
registered
and
that
is
David
James.
R
Yeah,
thank
you
Chair
King.
This
is
the
first
time
I've
appeared
in
in
person
at
a
committee
meeting
since
the
start
of
the
pandemic.
So
a
big
day
I've
been
involved
with
Railways
and
transit
in
Ottawa
for
over
45
years
and
with
Heritage
for
over
20
years,
I've
been
president
of
Transport
action
Canada,
which
advocates
for
rail
transport
and
of
Heritage
Ottawa
and
I'm
still
on
the
boards
of
both
organizations.
My
interest
in
bridges
also
goes
back
over
20
years.
R
In
fact,
I
recommended
designation
of
this
bridge
to
the
old
city
of
ottawa's
Heritage
planners
before
its
rehabilitation
in
1999.
It
was
not
designated
as
you've
been
told,
I
also
organized
the
celebration
of
the
Centenary
of
the
Alexandra
bridge
in
2001
and
I've,
given
recent
lectures
and
walking
tours
of
the
Alexandra
bridge
to
Heritage
Ottawa
and
finally,
I
spoke
to
the
importance
of
dominion
bridge
in
Ottawa
at
the
time
of
the
temporary
D
designation
of
the
Horticulture
building,
both
before
City
committees
and
at
the
conservation
review
board.
R
Finally,
I'm
a
member
of
the
Ottawa
Railway
history
Circle,
a
group
of
local
historians,
whose
weekly
meetings,
I
organize
and
moderate
and
some
of
the
research
that's
been
quoted
by
City
staff,
comes
from
the
website
that
we've
been
created
under
the
name
of
Colin
churcher,
so
I
support
member
podolski's
motion
to
designate
now
for
several
reasons.
The
first
is
the
significance
not
of
dominion
bridge
but
of
Andrew
Carnegie
to
Ottawa.
I
think
this
is
a
critical
point.
Carnegie
led
the
creation
of
the
United
States
steel
industry.
R
He
introduced
the
Bessemer
and
Open
Hearth
processes
to
Steel
making
in
America.
He
founded
the
Keystone
Bridge
Company
in
1865,
which
became
the
oldest
constituent
company
of
the
American
Bridge
conglomerate
in
1901,
and
that
company
provided
the
steal
for
the
first
large-scale
application
of
Steel
in
construction
for
the
Still
Standing
Eads
bridge
at
St
Louis
over
the
Mississippi
River
completed
in
1874.
Carnegie
also
introduced
vertical
integration
to
American
industry
and
that's
important
specifically
with
respect
to
this
bridge.
R
Why
is
Carnegie
significant
to
Ottawa?
Well,
he
funded
the
creation
of
the
Ottawa
Public
Library
in
its
entirety,
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
only
five
years.
After
the
construction
of
the
bridge
that
we're
talking
about
when
he
had
retired
for
two
years
from
the
steel
industry
and
become
a
philanthropist,
he
came
to
Ottawa
his
first
visit
to
Canada
to
open
that
Museum
and
it's
the
only
Carnegie
Library
that
he
did
open.
So
he
as
an
individual
is
very
significant
to
Ottawa,
and
why
is
this
bridge
a
good
memory
of
him?
R
Well,
his
name
is
actually
imprinted
on
the
steel
at
the
end
of
the
bridge,
which
is
highly
unusual.
So
we
know
that
the
bridge
was
supplied
from
Carnegie
in
Pittsburgh
at
least
the
major
girders
of
the
bridge,
which
are
are
largely
intact
today
and
fully
visible
from
the
exterior
of
of
the
bridge.
Second
reason
for
designating
is
technical
importance.
It's
been
acknowledged
in
the
report
that
it's
probably
the
first
steel
plate,
girder
bridge
in
Ottawa.
R
R
Although
a
station
had
been
opened
at
Rideau
Street
by
J.R
booth
in
1896,
it
was
not
served
by
other
Railways
from
the
east
or
south,
and
it
was
only
the
construction
of
this
bridge.
In
1898
two
years
after
Booth
established
the
Central
Station
that
it
was
able
to
become
a
true
Union
Station
serving
the
Canadian
Pacific
Railway
and
the
New
York
Central.
R
From
a
railway
history
point
of
view,
it
was
an
essential
Link
in
the
Transcontinental
Railway
of
Canadian
Pacific
from
1902
to
1996,
that's
65
years
hosting
the
three
Flagship
trains
of
the
different
areas,
the
Imperial
limited
the
Dominion
and
finally,
the
Canadian
I
do
think
it
should
be
rated
as
a
landmark.
It's
highly
visible
from
various
places.
It
is
accessible
to
the
public.
I
agree
that
the
re-routing
of
the
main
pathway
Network
have
tended
to
avoid
it,
but
it
is
still
accessible.
R
It
can
actually
be
seen
driving
on
The,
Queensway
and
finally,
just
a
comment
just
to
wrap
up
about
Dominion
bridge
I
do
recognize
that
it's
perhaps
not
the
most
significant
work
of
dominion
bridge
in
Ottawa,
but
it
is
probably
the
most
visible
because
most
of
their
surviving
work
is
embedded
in
the
interior
structures
of
buildings,
and
this
was
probably
their
first
All
Steel
Bridge
in
Ottawa
or
previous
Bridges
were
not
plate.
Girder
Bridges,
but
were
of
trust,
design
and
Incorporated
rotten
cast
iron
elements,
mostly
by
other
companies.
I
think
my
time
is
up.
A
C
N
C
I
have
several
questions
if
you
wouldn't
mind
helping
us
out
answering
them
when
the
city
border
acquired
this
bridge
in
1996,
the
city,
according
to
the
records
adapted
the
bridge
for
pedestrian
and
bicycle
use
in
1999
and,
however,
no
comprehensive
rehabilitation
of
the
central
structural
elements
of
the
bridge
were
taken
at
that
time.
According
to
the
Parsons
report
of
2018
or
anytime,
since
and
in
2018,
the
city
received
the
Parsons
report
identifying
deteriorated
conditions.
C
Q
So
we
have
been
doing
the
immediate
maintenance
need
to
address
the
safety
of
the
public,
so
that
maintenance
has
been
run
through
the
city's
Crews
and
in
order
for
us
to
undertake
the
maintenance,
we
will
embark
on
a
study
and
eventually
we
we
initiated
a
design
project
which
is
kind
of
currently
on
hold
just
because
of
this
designation
discussion.
So
that's
our
eventual
next
step
in
in
addressing
the
British
deficiency.
C
C
The
question
is
in
2018,
when
you
initiated
the
assessment
of
the
bridge,
why
was
a
Heritage
assessment
not
requested
of
the
city's
Heritage
staff
at
that
time
or
at
any
time,
between
1996
and
2002
to
help
the
infrastructure
and
water
surfaces
staff
before
advocating
the
replacement
option
rather
than
the
rehabilitation
option
in
your
2002
report?
That
was
why,
didn't
you
ask
you
know
that
you
know
the
city
has
a
Heritage
policy
and
that
this
bridge
was
likely
to
qualify.
C
Q
You
mayor
porlovski,
any
bridges
in
the
city
that
is
more
than
40
years
old
is
typically
grows
to
a
Heritage
assessment
as
part
of
the
standard
process.
So
as
we
are
embarking
on
the
preliminary
and
detailed
design.
The
cultural,
cultural
and
Heritage
evaluation
was
to
be
part
of
that
preliminary
design
exercise,
and
at
that
point
in
time
we
determined
the
Heritage
value
and,
and
we
go
from
there.
So
it
was
part
of
the
process,
but,
like
I
said
it
is,
it
was
put
on
hold.
C
And
this
is
the
final
question
if
I
might,
and
that
is
in
the
Parsons
report
and
in
your
own
project,
Charter
of
1922.
You
indicate
that
a
municipal
class
assessment
is
required
for
this
statutory
perspective
and
also
the
acquisition
of
land
from
the
NCC
and
the
University
of
Ottawa
would
be
needed
for
the
bridge
replacement
option
and
the
question
is:
would
an
environmental
assessment
or
land
Acquisitions
need
to
be
undertaken?
If
you
simply
exercise
the
rehabilitation
option.
Q
D
Thank
you
very
much
chair
so
question
for
staff
it,
and
it
is
a
shame
that
we
are
here
today.
This
is
symptomatic
of
a
larger
issue.
Frankly,
all
municipalities,
probably
across
North
America,
have
with
respect
to
trying
to
find
the
the
funding
and
wherewithal
to
maintain
their
critical
infrastructure.
D
The
bridge
is
also
associated
with
the
transition
of
ottawa's
core
and
the
Rideau
Canal
waterfall
front
from
an
industrial
to
recreational
space.
Is
this
an
obvious?
Yes,
with
respect
to
meeting
the
criteria,
it
seems
very
vague
and
very
general
and
in
my
view,
tenuous
can
staff
help
me
understand
how
you
arrived
at
the
yes
on
this
criteria,
as
opposed
to
a
no.
E
Yes,
thank
thank
you,
counselor
leaper,
so
I
think
you
touched
on
what
I'm
not
concerned
that
we
have
as
staff
as
well,
so
just
to
to
reiterate.
Staff
at
this
time
are
saying
we
are
not
recommending
designation
at
this
time,
and
one
of
our
concerns
is
that
some
of
those
historical
associations
which
we've
identified-
and
this
was
a
bridge
that
led
to
lead
to
downtown-
and
that
is
a
significant
piece
of
the
Railway
history
in
Ottawa-
has
been
impacted
by
some
of
the
changes
in
the
surroundings.
E
So
that's
partially,
some
of
the
reasons
why
we're
thinking
we
should
go
through
the
EA
process,
which
will
give
us
more
information
about
the
bridge.
It
will
undertake
the
cultural
heritage
evaluation
report,
which
will
study
the
bridge.
The
Heritage
impact
assessment
will,
which
we'll
look
at
what
possible
impacts
on
the
bridge
could
happen
from
different
conservation
options
and
then,
finally,
a
conservation
plan
for
whatever
option
is
determined
so
I
would
say
in
terms
of
its
overall
significance.
E
We
just
saw
the
item
that
was
just
in
front
of
this
committee
before
was
I
own,
a
Mansions
which
which
had
a
clear
cultural
heritage
significance
in
terms
of
its
context
in
terms
of
its
architecture.
I
think
this
one
is
the
CPR
bridge
is,
is
much
less
so
it
does
have
some
value
some
some
Heritage
interest,
but
it's
it's
significance,
I
think
has
been
negatively
impacted.
D
The
the
second
criteria
with
which
I'm
having
difficulties
is
number
eight-
the
property
has
contextual
value
because
it
is
physically
functionally
visually
or
historically
linked
to
its
surroundings.
Staff
have
noted
that
the
bridge
is
historically
and
functionally
linked
to
its
surroundings,
being
The,
Last,
Remnant
of
a
historical
cluster
of
rail
Bridges,
located
near
herdman's
bridge
and
continuing
to
facilitate
the
movement
of
people
over
the
Rideau
River,
again
I'm
having
difficulties
accepting
it.
This
is
a
really
clear.
D
E
So
we
did
think
that
it
was
a
remnant
of
this
historical
landscape
that
did
used
to
exist
in
that
area
and
that
it
did
tell
that
story,
but
you're
touching
on
a
concern
that
I
think
our
team
had
as
well,
which
is
some
of
the
legibility
of
those
associations,
have
have
been
impacted
and
are
maybe
more
slightly
more
difficult
to
to
pick
up
on.
So
we
we
did
think
it
was
a
yes.
For
that
reason
as
part
of
a
cluster.
But
again,
the
legibility
of
those
associations
has
been
impacted.
D
Yeah,
it's
it's
not
clear
to
me
today
that
you
know
this
meets
the
required
two
out
of
nine
criteria
met
in
order
to
qualify
for
designation
under
part.
Four
I
I
am
very
comfortable
with
the
staff
recommendation
to
hold
off
on
designation
until
such
time
as
this
committee
can
make
a
you
know
more
thoroughly
informed
and
more
confident
decision
that
it
is
something
that
is
worthy
of
designation,
so
I
I
will
be
supporting
the
staff
recommendation
today.
D
L
I
guess
some
questions
for
me
to
staff
are
around
the
representation
from
the
various
Community
associations,
so
obviously
recognizing
that
bridge
serves
many
communities
and
neighboring
communities.
It's
an
important,
pedestrian
and
cycling
link
that
exists.
Now
we
had
established
that
group
of
representation
from
Community
associations
as
the
primary
point
of
contact
between
the
project
team
and
the
community,
so
I
guess
on
this
score
in
terms
of
the
staff
recommendations.
When
will
that
group
be
re-engaged
and
and
how
will
they
be
engaged
through
the
process
that
you're
recommending.
L
E
L
Q
L
Okay,
if
I
could
just
encourage
that
to
happen
sooner
rather
than
later,
I
think
they've
been
engaged
to
this
point,
but
this
is
obviously
an
important
link
for
them.
Whichever
way
we
end
up
going,
this
is
going
to
be
an
important
piece
for
that
to
be
discussing
with
you
and
I
think
that
group
was
meant
to
be
that
primary
engagement
for
their
representative
Community
associations
and
the
communities
that
they
that
they
are
part
of,
so
if
I
could
encourage
you
to
do
that
as
soon
as
possible.
L
I
also
wanted
to
just
touch
on
some
of
the
the
presentations
that
were
previously
made
on
this
I
think
having
an
email,
it's
obviously
important.
If
it
was
going
to
be
designated
in
this
way,
we
would
need
an
EA
anyway.
It's
an
answer
to
Mr
podolski's
Question,
but
the
legacy
of
these
Railways
in
Ottawa
and
old,
Auto,
East
and
they're
industrial
impact
obviously
shape
our
community.
As
we
see
it
now,
and
it
costs
were
the
only
consideration.
We
would
have
very
few
Heritage
structures
and
features
in
our
city.
A
Thank
you,
councilor
Menard,
for
the
questions
and
the
comments.
I'd
also
like
to
acknowledge,
of
course,
that
City
staff,
in
terms
of
the
informal
group
of
of
counselors
who
came
together
asking
for
Community
associations
to
be
consulted
with
we
know
in
terms
of
informal
contact.
There
was
so
I
appreciate
the
fact
and
I
see
members
from
infrastructure
staff
here
today
who
were
who
I
know
addressed
the
Overbrook
Community
Association,
as
example,
I
actually
attended
that
meeting.
A
I
Thank
you,
chair
I'll,
keep
my
comments
brief,
but
wanted
to
respond
to
one
of
the
items
that
counselor
leaper
had
raised
about.
The
visibility
of
ottawa's,
Railway
history
and
City
staff
have
alluded
to
it
in
in
their
assessment
of
this
file,
but
fundamentally
Railways,
particularly
in
the
area
of
herdman's
bridge,
have
intrinsically
shaped
the
current
land
use
patterns
that
we
live
and
use
today
and
they've
had
a
foundational
role.
The
railways
in
this
area
were
relocated
from
the
core
as
part
of
the
1950s
Graber
plan.
I
In
fact
where
the
417
is
today
was
actually
a
major
rail
line
that
crossed
the
city.
This
particular
spur
had
a
bridge
linked
up
to
the
downtown
core.
All
along
the
canal,
you
had
Industries
serving
The
Rail
Yards
and
the
Nicholas
Street
exit
right
across
from
this
bridge
had
the
roundhouse
that
was
serving
this
railspur.
I
So
a
lot
of
the
lot
lines
that
you
see
in
the
neighborhoods
today,
a
lot
of
the
street
patterns
and
a
lot
of
recreation
that
we
now
come
to
enjoy
has
its
origins
in
ottawa's,
rail
history.
The
bike
paths
down
the
canal,
the
trans-canada
trail
in
Westborough
and
even
little
features
like
this
bridge,
speak
to
that
transformation
from
industry
to
fun
and
I.
Think
to
your
point,
counselor
leapers.
Sometimes
that
transition
isn't
made
visible
and
for
those
who
don't
study
the
city's
Heritage
or
don't
have
the
chance
to
get
out
all
across
our
green
spaces.
K
Thank
you,
I
just
started
one
mute
myself.
I
just
want
to
thank
my
colleague,
Jen
halsell,
for
that
for
those
comments
to
add
at
some
point
important
information
to
the
contextual
value
of
the
bridge,
as
at
I.
Think
David
jeans
contributed
significant
new
information
in
terms
of
the
historical
context
to
the
bridge,
the
Bridge's
Heritage
value
and
in
terms
of
its
visibility.
K
I
think
it
does
easily
meet
the
three
out
of
nine
and,
and
that
is
what
we
need
to
evaluate
and
determine
the
Heritage
value
and
designatability
of
this
of
this
bridge
and
I
have
concerns
about
process.
I
think
this
is
our
responsibility
to
make
this
determination
I'm
surprised
at
the
reluctance
of
the
city
staff
to
defer
that
decision
until
the
EA
evaluation,
because
it's
not
up
to
the
EA
to
determine
the
Heritage
value
of
the
bridge.
C
Language
here,
I
just
wanted
to
say
a
few
comments
in
support
of
the
motion
to
amend,
and
these
comments
come
from
a
little
bit
of
my
experience
as
a
Heritage
and
Architectural
Bridge
consultant
to
the
city
of
Ottawa
over
the
many
years
that
I've
had
a
chance
to
accomplish
this.
Just
for
the
record.
I
was
the
architect
and
Heritage
consultant
to
the
prime
consultants
for
the
replacement
of
the
lamu
Island
Bridge
in
Ottawa,
and
also
thank
you
for
the
photograph
on
the
screen
of
the
bank.
C
Street
Bridge
Rehabilitation
I
was
also
the
architect
and
Heritage
consultant
to
the
prime
consultants
for
the
Cummings
Bridge
Rehabilitation
across
the
Rita
River,
as
well
as
the
police
bridge
and
five
Stone
bridges
that
the
Bretton
Flats,
as
well
as
the
My
Town
Bridges
construction
along
Sussex
Drive,
as
well
as
the
Heritage
consultant
for
the
Pretoria
lift
bridge
Rehabilitation
and
the
Minto
Bridge
Rehabilitation,
the
center
Bridge,
the
East
bridge
and
the
West
Bridge.
So
I
have
a
long
interest
and
participation
in
the
conservation
of
the
city's
Railway
and
Road
Heritage
over
Bridges.
C
I.
Think
that
one
of
the
points
of
the
motion
is
that
the
city
has
needs
to
demonstrate
its
leadership
and
its
advocacy
through
its
own
action.
I
think
this
is
a
very
important
point.
This
morning
we
have
recommended
the
council,
the
designation
of
Iona
Mansions,
the
privately
owned
building
over
the
objection
of
the
owner.
C
S
S
D
A
An
assessment
report
in
2018
concluded
that
the
bridge
is
an
overall
poor
condition
and
presented
two
options:
major
Rehabilitation
or
structure
replacement.
A
comprehensive
evaluation
of
both
options
will
take
place
through
the
mult
through
the
through
the
municipal
class
environmental
assessment
process.
That
will
outline
the
renewal
options
and
recommend
the
best
way
forward.
Heritage
staff
believe
it
would
be
a
more
comprehensive
approach
to
fully
understand
the
findings
and
evaluations
of
the
EA
and
Associated
studies
in
advance
of
proceeding
with
designation.
A
The
renewal
study
for
the
former
CPR
bridge
will
require
the
EA,
which
will
include
a
Heritage
impact
assessment,
which
I
think
we
heard
would
identify
and
consider
cultural
heritage
value
and
also
interpretations
about
historical
history,
interpretations
about
the
bridge
and
an
evaluation
of
renewal
options.
As
part
of
the
EA
process,
a
public
consultation
process
will
be
undertaken
since
the
bridge
serves
many
communities
as
and
is
an
important
pedestrian
and
cycling,
link
and
I.
Think
of
the
Rita
winter
trail
that
benefits
many
communities
and
I.
A
Think
of
counselor
Carr
counselor
Menard
Vice,
chair
plot,
my
communities,
they
they
all
benefit
but
I
believe
it
is
important
that
we
support
a
renewal
process
which
examines
all
options
allowing
for
Meaningful
public
consultation
and
that
provides
the
opportunity
for
both
asset
management
and
Heritage
staff
to
apply
their
full
and
collective
experience
and
expertise.
I
think
that
element
is
important
to
me,
because
I
hear
all
the
time
from
Community
associations
that
they
don't
want
City
departments
operating
in
a
silo.
A
A
Unfortunately,
I
I
understand
where
the
member
is
coming
from
and
we
obviously
want
to
see
the
retention
of
and
the
preservation
of
our
built
Heritage,
not
just
buildings,
but
also
structures,
but
I
think
that
we
need
to
ensure
that
there
is
a
process
that
goes
forward,
which
is,
in
my
estimation,
a
rational
process
where
we're
able
to
work
with
multiple
departments
to
determine
the
way
forward.
So
I
will
be
voting.
No.
C

A

A
T
Good
morning,
chair
Vice,
chair
committee
members,
my
name
is
Luis
Suarez
and
today
I
will
be
giving
an
update
on
a
conservation
project
for
the
hintonburg
pumping
station.
It's
a
city-owned
property
designated
under
part
four
of
the
Ontario
Heritage
act.
I
also
have
my
colleague,
Nelson
Edwards
with
me
for
questions
at
the
end
next
slide.
Please.
T
The
subject
property
is
circled
in
yellow
on
this
slide.
It's
located
in
Ward,
15,
kitchissippi
on
the
east
side
of
onigum
street,
just
north
of
the
sgm
and
south
of
Lemieux
Island.
It's
a
key
feature
in
a
network
of
destinations
along
this
section
of
the
Ottawa
river
that
includes
the
the
Lemieux
Island
Water
Filtration
plant
and
the
Chief
William
Commander
Bridge,
which
is
currently
being
rehabilitated
for
use
as
a
multi-use
path
between
the
Ottawa
River
pathway
in
Ottawa
and
the
Centier
de
Voyager,
and
got
snow
next
slide.
Please.
T
T
It's
a
one
and
a
half
story,
cut
Limestone
structure
with
a
gable
roof
and
an
open
veranda
in
1924.
It
was
decommissioned
and
converted
into
a
residence
and
Gatehouse
to
serve
the
new
Water
Filtration
plant,
constructed
on
the
New
Island
in
August
1987.
The
regional
Municipality
of
Ottawa
Carlton,
completed
a
restoration
project
to
the
property
and
designated
it
under
part.
Four
of
the
Ontario
Heritage
act
with
the
intention
of
adaptively
reusing
the
structure.
T
Unfortunately,
in
1989
the
building
was
severely
damaged
by
a
fire
and
it
has
remained
in
Ruins,
since
exposure
to
the
elements
has
worsened.
The
stability
of
the
structure
and
the
property
was
added
to
the
city's
Heritage
watch
this
in
2022
in
response
to
a
bhc
motion
which
recognized
the
structure
of
State.
T
T
Unfortunately,
most
of
the
properties
character-defining
elements,
as
defined
in
the
designation
bylaw,
which
are
seen
here,
include
the
pitched
roof
and
open
Veranda.
The
circular
turret
and
the
large
half
round
windows
are
no
longer
barely
legible.
Notwithstanding
the
fire
which,
in
its
own
rate,
is
a
critical
part
of
the
structure's
history.
Now
the
property
still
contains
cultural
heritage
value
and
conserving
and
stabilizing.
T
T
Together
with
the
consultant
team
and
internal
and
external
focus
groups,
it
was
determined
that
a
version
of
option
2
was
a
preferred
conservation
approach
which
includes
the
following:
the
preservation
of
remaining
elements
of
the
ruin
and
the
addition
of
discrete
elements
such
as
new
buttresses
and
the
capping
masonry
to
stabilize
the
structure.
Removal
of
the
late
edition
on
the
North
elevation,
the
stabilization
of
the
basement
with
granular
materials,
the
stabilization
of
interior
floor
space
with
accessible
material,
the
Redevelopment
of
the
site
with
a
park-like
open
space.
T
This
slide
shows
several
options
that
are
being
considered
for
security
lighting,
treatment
of
openings
and
the
reimagining
of
character,
defining
elements
with
the
conservation
approach
for
the
masonry
determined.
The
project
team
is
now
soliciting
the
built
Heritage
committee's
advice
or
comments
on
these
considerations
prior
to
establishing
a
preferred
design
concept.
T
Secondly,
given
that
it
is
unfeasible
and
unfeasible
to
restore
the
structure
back
into
its
house
form,
what
are
some
ways
that
the
ruins
can
reinterpret
some
of
the
properties
character-defining
elements.
Is
there
a
way
to
reimagine
the
wrap
around
Veranda
openings,
Etc
and,
lastly,
are
there
any
other
character,
defining
elements
that
you
think
should
be
considered
that
aren't
currently
listed.
T
Next
slide,
please,
in
terms
of
next
steps,
we
will
welcome
feedback
from
the
committee
on
what's
being
presented
today
and
further
their
public
consultation
and
engagement
with
indigenous
Community
Representatives
will
be
conducted
in
the
coming
months
as
well.
We
will
use
this
feedback
to
inform
the
final
preferred
design
concept
and
a
Heritage
permit
will
be
submitted
to
alter
the
property
based
on
the
preferred
design
concept.
T
A
Thank
you
so
much
for
that
report.
We
did
receive
correspondence
correspondence
from
the
Mechanicsville
Community
Association,
as
well
as
Heritage
Ottawa
and
support,
as
well
as
two
other
letters
from
residents
to
have
been
circulated.
We
don't
have
any
registered
speakers
on
this
item.
Does
the
committee
have
any
questions
for
staff.
D
Just
very
briefly,
do
thanks
staff
very
much
for
the
the
words
that
they
have
been
putting
into
this
we're
looking
forward
to
some
sort
of
preservation
of
the
pump
house,
which
is
an
important
landmark
in
in
Ottawa
and
I
I,
also
just
want
to
thank
the
residents
of
hinsonburg
Mechanicsville
as
well
for
the
pragmatism
with
which
they've
approached
the
the
the
future
works,
so
I'm
looking
forward
to
continued
good
discussions
with
them,
as
the
design
team
continues
to
develop
its
Concepts.
Thank
you.
Staff.
K
Thank
you
just
a
question
for
staff.
I
do
know
that
the
national
capital
commission,
for
instance,
is
investing
in
Westborough
Beach,
the
the
change
room
structures
there
and
there's
going
to
be
sort
of
a
re,
a
reinterpretation
of
the
of
the
shoreline
and
I'm
just
wondering
that
it
all
flows
together.
If
the,
if
staff
has
had
a
chance
to
communicate
with
representatives
of
the
NCC
who
are
involved
in
that
project,
just
to
make
sure
that
you
know,
there's
a
Synergy
there.
Just
a
question.
T
I
Thank
you
chair.
My
question
is:
is
similar
to
member
Quinn's
with
the
upcoming
pedestrian
bridge
project.
It
seems
this
may
be
an
opportunity
to
create
more
public
access
to
the
site
and
and
more
flow
through
as
a
corridor.
So
is
there
any
thought
as
to
how
this
this
ruin
and
public
realm
enhancement
at
lemieu
Island
could
flow
into
the
broader
City
Vision
for
the
shoreline
here.
T
Thank
you,
member
Hassel,
so
that
is
something
that's
being
considered
through
our
internal
and
external
stakeholder
groups.
That's
something
that's
been
a
concern
for
sure,
and
the
site
is
being
designed
in
a
way
that
would
allow
us
to
proceed
with
the
conservation
of
the
site
while
not
while
not
disconnecting
it
from
its
surroundings,
allowing
that
Synergy
to
continue
as
those
works,
progress.
C
A
C
See
if
I
can
get
the
voice.
Thank
you,
I.
Think.
One
of
the
things
that
we
should
remind
ourselves
here
is
that
this
building,
which
is
owned
by
the
city
of
Ottawa
and
which
sadly
burned
in
1989
according
to
the
record,
has
had
unfortunately,
been
left
somewhat
neglected
by
the
city
over
all
of
these
years.
C
I
Chaco
member
podolski's
comments
it's
just
very
exciting,
to
see
the
diversity
of
applications
we've
had
here
today.
We've
had
a
ruin:
we've
had
a
beautiful
rail
Bridge
we've
had
a
gorgeous
site
on
Wellington
and
it's
it's
nice
to
see
the
diversity
of
Heritage
that's
coming
forward
now,
and
the
interesting
adaptive
reuses
that
are
being
proposed.
Some
of
my
favorite
hiking
trails
in
Ontario
have
ruins
not
unlike
this
one
and
they
really
add
a
depth
of
experience
to
recreational
and
natural
areas
that
is
unparalleled.
I
A
Thank
you
for
the
excellent
comments
is
the
report
received
received.
Thank
you.
This
report
will
be
submitted
to
Ottawa
city
council
on
April
26th.
We
had
no
in
camera
items
we
did
have
for
information
previously
distributed
a
report
on
designation
refusals
for
spring
2023,
which
was
massively
exhaustive.
If
I.
If
my
memory
serves
correct,
are
there
any
notices,
emotions
seeing
none?
Are
there
any
inquiries.
A
Is
there
any
other
business
seeing
none
on
adjournment
is
the
motion
carried
excellent?
We
are
adjourned.
Thank
you.
Everyone
once
again,
I'd
like
to
thank
members,
Podolski,
Conforti
and
Hassel
for
their
wonderful
service,
not
just
to
this
committee,
but
to
the
city,
as
I
said
before
the
impact
resonates
throughout
the
city
and
the
Heritage
Community
and
your
contributions
are
appreciated
and
I
think
will
be
remembered
and
will
impact
the
city
for
for
a
long
period
of
time.
So
we're
very
pleased
and
thank
you
so
much
for
your
service.
