Description
Built Heritage Sub-Committee - 10 May 2022
Agenda and supporting documents available at www.ottawa.ca/agendas
A
Well,
good
morning,
everyone
and
welcome
to
a
built
heritage,
sub
community
meeting
of
may
10
2021
I'd
like
to
call
the
members
to
order.
Although
this
meeting
is
being
held,
virtually
I'd
like
to
acknowledge
that
the
land
on
which
ottawa
is
built
is
unseated,
algonquin
and
ashnabe
territory.
I'd
also
like
to
take
a
moment
to
acknowledge
that
the
peoples
of
the
algonquin
anishinaabe
nation
have
lived
on
this
territory
for
millennia,
their
culture
and
presence
have
nurtured
and
continued
to
nurture
this
land.
A
Although
the
deadlines
have
passed
for
residents
to
register
to
speak
and
provide
written
submissions
to
this
subcommittee,
residents
may
still
make
submissions
to
planning
committee
and
council.
If
you
have
technical
difficulties
signing
into
the
meeting,
you
can
contact
the
committee
coordinator
by
calling
613-580-2424.
A
Extension
2295
a
reminder
that
if
participants
are
having
technical
issues
with
their
zoom
connection,
they
may
call
in
using
the
backup
telephone
number
provided
by
the
coordinator
colleagues.
I've
received
no
regrets
for
today's
meeting,
but
councillor
brockington
did
provide
some
notification
that
he'll
be
10
minutes
late.
Could
the
committee
coordinator,
please
call
the
role
a
reminder
to
members
to
unmute
themselves
when
they're
called.
F
A
E
A
Confirmed
so
our
first
items
deal
with
planning
infrastructure,
economic
development,
right
away,
heritage
and
urban
design
services,
but
before
we
begin
a
reminder
for
members
in
the
public
on
the
scope
of
this
committee's
mandate,
all
heritage
applications
before
us
today
are
subjected
to
applications
under
the
planning
act.
The
purview
of
the
built
heritage
subcommittee
is
to
evaluate
these
applications
under
the
ontario
heritage
act
and
determine
whether
the
proposed
alterations
are
appropriate
and
compatible
with
the
heritage
values
of
the
properties
for
70
richmond
road.
A
The
question
is
whether
the
proposed
alterations
to
the
champlain
oil
service
center
are
compatible
and
conserve
the
heritage.
Value
of
the
building
the
built
heritage
subcommittee
does
not
have
the
authority
around
compatibility
beyond
the
designated
property,
as
there
are
no
heritage
requirements
related
to
height
or
character
along
richmond,
road
or
island
park
drive
for
properties
designated
under
part
5
of
the
act,
and
these
include
126
york,
street
and
311
somerset
street.
A
The
question
is
whether
the
proposed
alteration
or
new
construction
is
appropriate
in
the
heritage
conservation
district
and
whether
the
application
meets
the
relevant
guidelines
and
policy
general
direction
regarding
height
and
density
is
set
through
the
official
plan
and
zoning
bylaw
and
concerning
197
will
broad
street,
which
will
be
subjected
to
an
application
for
new
construction
at
a
future
meeting
of
built
heritage
subcommittee.
The
question
before
the
committee
today
is
related
to
demolition.
A
Only
so
we'll
start
with
our
first
file:
an
application
to
alter
70
richmond
road,
a
property
designated
under
part
4
of
the
ontario
heritage
act.
There
is
a
technical
amendment
proposed
by
heritage
staff
to
replace
document
7
in
this
report.
With
a
revised
version.
Could
the
mover
vice
chair
quinn?
Please
read
the
motion.
G
A
D
D
D
D
D
This
section
of
richmond
road
historically
contained
automotive
uses,
some
of
which
remain
and
some
of
which
have
been
recently
redeveloped
into
mixed-use
buildings,
in
addition
to
70
richmond
road.
The
proposed
development
also
includes
the
acquisition
and
demolition
of
the
existing
house
to
the
south
located
at
376
island
park
drive.
This
property
does
not
have
heritage
status
next
slide.
Please.
D
So
the
existing
service
station
is
a
stucco
cloud
building
constructed
in
1934
and
designed
with
a
steeply
pitched
stable
roof
round
arch
doors
and
windows
and
twin
chimneys
resembling
an
english
cottage.
It
is
made
up
of
three
distinct
components:
there
is
the
commercial
portion,
the
office
portion
in
the
middle
and
then
the
service
space.
D
It
was
designated
under
part
4
of
the
ontario
heritage
by
city
council
in
2019,
as
a
rare
example
of
a
1930
service
station,
as
well
for
its
association
with
the
growth
in
private
car
ownership
in
the
early
early
20th
century
and
its
contextual
location
on
richmond
road,
which
was
the
historic
western
gateway
to
the
city
at
the
time
of
designation
council
recognized
its
location
on
the
lot
would
make
adaptive
reuse
difficult
and
acknowledge
that
relocating
it
could
be
an
appropriate
part
of
the
site's
development
next
slide.
Please.
D
D
D
So,
on
the
site
plan
you'll
see
the
relocated
service
station
with
exposed
east
and
north
elevations
that
are
integrated
into
a
ground
floor.
Commercial
unit
shown
in
pink
a
landscaped
plaza,
is
proposed
to
wrap
the
northeast
corner
of
the
property,
helping
to
highlight
the
service
station
next
slide.
Please.
D
D
So
several
standards
and
guidelines
for
the
conservation
of
historic
places
in
canada
are
applicable
to
this
proposal.
Staff
are
of
the
opinion
that
the
proposal
meets
them
for
several
reasons.
Firstly,
the
entire
building
will
be
conserved
and
rehabilitated
with
its
character,
defining
elements
evaluated
repaired
and
maintained.
D
The
relocation
of
the
building
to
the
northeast
corner
of
the
property
in
the
same
east-west
orientation
will
help
maintain
its
commercial
office
and
service
bay
components,
and
this
will
help
identify
the
building's
original
use
as
a
service
station
along
richmond
road
and,
lastly,
the
proposed
design
sets
the
the
service
station
proud
of
the
mid-rise
building,
allowing
it
to
remain
the
dominant
feature
on
the
site
and
employs
materiality
and
data
lines
to
ensure
that
the
addition
is
distinguishable
and
subordinate
from
the
heritage
resource
next
slide.
Please.
D
So
in
terms
of
consultation,
the
application
submission
materials
were
posted
on
the
city's
development
application
search
tool,
heritage,
ottawa
neighbors
within
30
meters
and
the
island
park.
Drive
and
westbrook
community
associations
were
also
notified
of
the
application
and
chair
king
and
counselor.
Libra
are
also
aware
of
the
application
next
slide.
Please.
D
A
Thank
you
luis
for
that
very
detailed
reports,
much
appreciated
on
this
file.
We
did
get
two
letters,
two
items
of
correspondence,
including
from
heritage
ottawa,
both
in
support,
and
we
do
have
a
number
of
registered
speakers
for
this
file,
starting
with
robert
wells
from
trinity.
So
I
don't
know
if
robert
has
joined
us.
B
B
Sure,
well,
thank
you
very
much
and
good
morning,
mr
chair
and
members
of
committee,
as
was
alluded
to
my
name,
is
rob
wells
with
attorney
development
group
and
I
am
joined
today.
I
guess
he's
sort
of
identified
as
the
second
speaker,
but
john
stewart,
who's
with
commonwealth
historic
resource
management
is
our
heritage
consultant
on
this
particular
file.
B
So
if
there
is
particular
questions
about
the
applications
or
aspect
of
the
heritage
component,
he's
available
to
go
through
that
or
walk
through
that,
I
don't
necessarily
have
any
sort
of
presentation
or
formal
presentation
prepared,
but
I
did
want
to
note
that
we're
certainly
in
support
of
the
recommendations
that
are
outlined
in
staff's
report,
and
I
definitely
want
to
extend
a
thank
you
to
louis
and
city
staff
for
all
their
efforts
in
getting
the
application
to
the
state.
For
those
that
are
not
aware.
B
B
So
if
there
are
questions-
and
I
don't
know
if
this
is
necessarily
in
the
forum
to
discuss
the
official
plan-
amendment
zoning
component-
I'm
certainly
available
for
that-
but
just
wanted
to
sort
of
go
on
record
and
say
that
we're
we're
in
support
of
the
recommendations-
and
I
myself
am
available
for
any
further
questions
on
where
we're
at
in
the
process.
And
as
I
know
that
I
have
john
stewart
with
me
who
can
walk
through
some
of
the
more
intricate
details
of
the
heritage
components.
If
there
are
any
specific
requests
or
questions.
B
I
think
he's
jointly
just
sort
of
joining.
I
don't
believe
that
he
has
any
sort
of
presentation
prepared
formally,
because
I
think
that
there's
been
quite
a
bit
of
communication
with
lewis's
team
etc,
as
we've
worked
our
way
through
the
process,
but
I'm
not
sure
if
he's
already
identified
as
a
speaker
and
has
the
ability
to
speak
while
I'm
yes,
he
does
so
that's
why
I.
A
I
A
D
On
my
comments,
sure
thank
you
through
you
chair,
so
the
change
in
the
conservation
plan
is
focusing
on
the
change
of
the
interim
location
of
the
service
station.
So
initially
the
service
station
was
to
be
relocated
on
basset
lane
just
to
the
west.
It's
now
going
to
temporarily
be
relocated
across
the
street.
I
We
support
the
relocation
of
the
existing
building
further
north
on
the
property
and
the
setback
of
the
new
nine-story
building,
which
permits
the
retention
of
the
cultural
heritage,
bill
and
character.
Defining
features
of
the
building
the
heritage
building's
predominance
on
the
property
is
enhanced
and
it
is
better
integrated
into
the
streetscape.
I
We
are
also
pleased
with
the
decision
to
move
the
building
off
its
current
foundation
in
one
piece,
rather
than
attempting
to
dismantle
it,
we're
pleased
to
hear
that
the
proponent
hopes
to
apply
under
the
heritage
community
improvement
program
grant
program
for
for
assistance.
In
this
project,
we
therefore
recommend
that
you
support
the
staff
recommendation
for
this
proposal.
Thank
you.
A
J
J
J
I
know
the
focus
of
this
committee,
as
the
chair
said,
is
on
the
enforcement
of
the
heritage
act,
but,
to
the
extent
that
there
is
any
heritage
value
tied
to
its
contextual
location.
We
think
relocation
of
the
gas
station
changes
that
value
seriously,
and
we
would
like
this
committee
to
consider
that
in
assessing
the
application
slide
number
two
please
the
ncc
says
it's
been
building
and
managing
parkway
since
1899..
J
It's
that
the
parkways
are
a
cultural
landscape,
that
they
link.
Landmarks
in
the
city,
provide
a
gateway
to
the
region
and
beautiful
perspectives
to
the
capitol.
We
think,
as
the
link
from
experimental
farm
to
hampton
park
and
the
ottawa
river
island
park,
drive
is
no
less
deserving
of
protection
and
again
I
make
these
remarks
in
the
context
of
the
contextual
value
of
the
gas
station
and
its
impact
that
island
park
has
retained
much
of
its
original
character
as
no
accident.
It's
been
the
result
of
investments
by
the
ncc
residents
and
the
city
slide.
J
Three:
please.
The
residents
have
refurbished
the
houses
rather
than
tear
them
down.
Those
that
have
rebuilt
have
preserved
the
streetscape.
The
ncc
enforced
covenants
on
the
development
of
the
parkway
for
99
years,
invested
in
stone
gateways,
cairns
street
signs,
decorative
lighting,
limited
signage.
It
has
forbidden,
hydro
lines
and
other
services
provided
permitted,
prohibited
commercial
vehicles,
restricted
access
to
the
street
and
invested
in
traffic
calming,
and
it
is
invested
heavily
in
landscaping
with
the
maintenance
and
replacement
of
the
trees
slide
floor.
Please,
city
council
has
a
long
record
of
protecting
the
street
too.
J
My
point
is
that
all
these
investments
were
made
to
preserve
the
look
feel
and
continuity
of
the
parkway
safeguard
its
landscaping
maintain
an
obstructed
view
of
the
unobstructed
view
of
the
boulevard
slide.
Five,
please.
We
think
the
trinity
development
runs
counter
to
these.
Rather
than
confined
the
building
to
70
richmond
they
acquired
376
island
park,
drive,
which
extends
their
frontage
to
52
meters
along
island
park
drive
that's
44
percent
more
than
the
23
meter
frontage
on
richmond
road.
This
is
supposed
to
be
rezoned
for
traditional
main
street.
J
The
design
curtails
a
setback
from
the
boulevard.
It
removes
greenery
that
separates
richmond
road
from
the
parkway.
It
puts
a
nine
story,
building
three
meters
from
the
house
next
door.
That's
one
meter
more
than
is
required
for
social
distancing
during
covid,
and
the
magnitude
of
these
changes
is
evident
in
the
fact
that
trinity
is
seeking
relief
from
met.
Almost
all
of
the
regulations
that
have
governed
the
use
density,
heightened
setbacks
again.
I
know
this
is
not
part
of
this
committee's
purview,
but
I
think
it's
pertinent
to
the
contextual
value
of
the
gas
station.
J
All
of
these
changes
that
seem
to
us
come
at
the
expense
of
the
look
and
feel
of
the
parkway
slide
six
please.
So.
This
brings
us
to
the
question
before
us,
which
is
about
the
relocation
of
the
gas
station.
It's
no
accident
that
the
gas
station
currently
aligns
with
the
rear
of
the
houses
on
island
park.
Drive,
I'm
sorry,
it's
a
grainy
photo,
but
you
can
see
it
in
the
low
in
the
center
there.
J
We
know
that's
part
of
the
original
plan
for
the
parkway,
because
all
the
other
buildings
have
that
same
alignment.
It's
an
integral
part
of
the
plan
by
frederick
todd's
design
for
the
parkway.
Even
the
new
mizrahi
project,
which
is
not
pictured
here,
has
that
similar
alignment
slide.
Seven,
please!
You
can
see
that
relocating
the
gas
station
to
the
northeast
limit
of
the
property
moves
it
from
behind
the
houses
to
well
out
in
front
of
them
slide.
Eight,
please.
J
This
allows
for
the
project
to
shift
eastward
as
a
whole
and
that
blocks
the
sight
lines
along
the
boulevards.
You
can
see
the
rear
of
the
house,
the
front
of
the
house,
and
then
they
limited
the
new
building.
It
replaces
the
greenery
that's
there
with
glass
and
steel.
It
creates
a
nine-story
barrier
that
interrupts
the
continuity
of
the
parkway.
J
You
can
see
that,
where
it
lines
up
with
the
streets
of
the
houses,
the
fronts
to
the
north,
that's
what
we're
trying
to
prevent
trinity's
own
architect,
barry
hogan,
acknowledged
the
importance
of
the
setbacks
in
his
initial
design
and
he
designed
his
initial
presentation
to
respect
them.
So
we
think
this
is
possible.
We
know
it's
not
easy
for
this
committee
and
that
its
focus
is
as
limited
to
the
heritage
aspect,
but
whatever
is
permitted
on
this
corner
is
going
to
set
a
precedent
for
the
development
on
the
other
two
sites.
J
So
we
feel
strongly
that
the
challenges
of
intensification
can
be
met
without
forgetting,
where
we've
come
from.
We
believe
we
can
have
intensification
and
beautiful,
healthy,
meaningful
urban
environments
too.
We
think
allowing
the
relocation
of
the
gas
station
to
the
northeast
corner
changes,
its
contextual
location
and
sorry
it's
heritage
value,
insofar
as
it
makes
it
from
something
compatible
and
an
asset
to
something
that
competes
and
undermines
the
traditional,
contextual
setting
of
the
building.
Thank
you.
A
Seeing
none
I
I
did
want
to
thank
you
for
your
deputation
and
unfortunately,
you
are
correct
today
that
the
built
heritage
subcommittee
does
does
not
have
the
authority
around
compatibility
beyond
the
designated
property,
as
there
are
no
heritage,
requirements
related
to
height
or
character
along
richmond,
road
or
island
park
drive.
But
thank
you
for
placing
your
your
concerns,
as
well
as
the
concerns
of
the
community
association
on
the
record.
It's
appreciated.
L
Presentation
we
just
heard
about
the
concern
about
taking
the
building
from
the
back
of
the
property
at
the
front
of
the
property.
I'm
just
curious,
obviously
down
the
road
from
here
we
have
the
ashcroft
convent
property
which
put
a
big
building
in
front
of
the
convent.
So
once
it's
back
there,
just
don't
really
know
it's
back
there.
D
Thank
you
through
you
chair.
So
if
there
was,
if
the
service
station
remained
in
situ
and
we
received
a
development
application
for
something
that
proposed
it
in
front
of
it,
it's
something
that
we'd
have
to
evaluate
the
impact
on,
but
certainly
it
would
be
difficult
to
be
able
to
maintain
the
cultural
heritage
value,
the
contextual
value
along
richmond
road
with
the
development
in
front
of
it.
D
L
So
it's
it's
not.
I
mean,
maybe
it's
not
a
good
example,
because
you
can't,
without
the
actual
application
in
front
of
you,
you
can't
really
suggest
one
way
or
the
other,
but
I
just
I
worry
about
that.
I
mean,
I
think
I
understand
the
rationale,
but
I
also
look
at
what
we
have,
what
our
policies
are
in
the
city
about
development,
about
bringing
development
to
the
road
front,
and
then
we
have
four
properties
that
have
deep
setbacks
and
a
lot
of
parking,
which
seems
to
be
the
antithesis
of
what
our
op
calls
for.
L
A
L
A
C
G
D
E
Yes,
thank
you
very
much,
terry.
Just
a
very
short
comment.
I
think
that
I
support
the
motion,
the
staff
recommendation
and
I
think
that
the
staff
rationale
drafted
by
here
and
the
comments
by
heritage,
auto
up
capture
the
context
and
the
benefits
of
this
proposal
from
the
interior
heritage
act
perspective
and
I'm
very
very
pleased
to
see
how
they
were
in
sync
with
each
other.
Thank
you
very
much.

The
applicant
proposes
here
to
relocate
the
historic
building
to
a
new
foundation
and
then
integrate
the
west
and
south
facades
with
the
mid-rise's
ground
floor
retail
space,
the
mid-rise
ground
floor
height
matches
that
of
the
service
station
and
would
be
clad
in
stone
to
ensure
the
station
has
prominence
as
well.
A
glass
volume
that
was
initially
proposed
to
sit
atop
the
service
station
from
stories
two
to
nine,
has
been
removed
with
the
latest
design
that
will
ensure
the
station
reads
as
a
free
standing
rather
than
simply
as
a
facade.
A
Obviously,
we
we've
heard
some
concerns
about
the
impact
the
heritage
impact
on
parkways,
but,
of
course
we
don't
have
jurisdiction
over
that
area.
So,
as
a
consequence,
I'll
also
be
supporting.
This
application
is
the
amending
motion
that
was
placed
on
the
floor
today
carried
period
all
right
and
is
the
report
itself
carried.
F
A
M
M
M
The
ground
floor
will
be
made
up
of
glazing
divided
by
brick
balls
with
punched
windows
on
the
floors.
Two
to
four.
The
podium
will
be
four
stories
in
height
and
will
be
clad
in
red
brick.
The
articulation
of
the
podium
is
inspired
by
the
volumes
found
on
summerset
streetscape
and
includes
some
inset
balconies.
M
M
M
M
M
This
project
has
evolved
tremendously
from
the
early
submissions
as
seen
from
left
to
right,
while
nine
stories
is
permitted
at
somerset
street
staff
felt
that
this
was
not
in
keeping
with
the
low-rise
character
of
somerset
village.
The
middle
portion
of
the
building
was
therefore
removed
in
order
to
make
the
tower
smaller.
M
This
increased
a
step
back
along
somerset
street
next
slide
as
part
of
the
center
town
heritage
conservation.
District
study
from
1997
city
council
approved
heritage
conservation
district
guidelines.
The
guidelines
in
this
document,
along
with
the
direction
set
out
in
the
center
town
community
design
plan
and
the
policies
set
out
in
the
official
plan,
including
the
center
town
secondary
plan,
serve
as
the
basis
for
the
valuation
of
the
proposed
development.
M
In
this
proposal
the
podium
will
be
four
stories
in
height
that
has
been
designed
to
reflect
the
massing
found,
the
summerset
streetscape,
while
the
queen
and
revival
houses
are
generally
three
stories
in
height
the
podium
on
the
sorry,
the
podium.
The
proposal
is
four
stories
to
match
the
volume
of
a
building
on
the
corner
of
somerset
and
bank
street
seen
the
images
on
the
screen.
These
two
buildings
will
book
in
the
victorian
architecture
found
along
somerset
street
characteristic
of
the
queen
and
revival.
M
M
M
M
As
well
as
the
use
of
elements
such
as
traditional
window
designs
and
articulated
massing,
the
building
will
integrate
into
the
surrounding
contributing
properties,
rather,
rather
than
calling
attention
to
itself
next
slide
in
this
close-up
renderings
of
the
podium,
you
can
see
how
the
mass
of
the
podium
has
broken
up
by
the
inset
balconies
by
cutting
out
some
of
the
mass
on
the
fourth
floor.
This
creates
a
more
stepped
roofline
leaking
back
to
the
variety
of
roof
profiles
found
the
queen
and
revival
houses
in
the
image
on
the
lower
right.
M
M
The
subject
properties
are
currently
vacant
and
therefore
have
little
cultural
heritage
value
within
the
hcd
by
providing
ground
floor,
commercial
use
and
upper
floor
residential.
The
proposed
building
maintains
the
associated
cultural
heritage,
value
of
centertown
hdd
as
a
residential
area
surrounding
parliament
hill.
M
The
new
construction
will
be
visually
compatible
in
terms
of
material
palette,
with
the
hdd
and
clearly
distinguishable
from
the
surrounding
historic
buildings
in
form
massing
and
details,
while
not
subordinate
in
size.
The
podium
has
been
declarefully
designed
to
respond
to
the
character
of
the
area,
while
the
tower
has
been
set
in
on
all
sides
and
clad
in
different
materials
enough
as
not
to
draw
attention
to
itself.
M
M
The
cultural
heritage
impact
statement
was
also
completed
for
this
project,
concluding
that
the
18
stories
will
have
an
impact
on
the
low-rise
character
of
the
hcd.
However,
this
is
mitigated
by
the
nearby
taller
buildings
to
the
north
and
the
design
of
the
podium
which
integrates
into
the
somerset
village
streetscape
next
slide
in
terms
of
consultation,
both
heritage
ottawa
and
the
community
center
tech
community
association
have
been
notified
of
this
application.
M
A
A
We
do
have
a
number
of
speakers
registered
to
speak.
It
is
important
for
us,
of
course,
once
again
to
remember
that
the
properties
designated
here
under
part
five
of
the
act
really.
The
question
for
us
is
whether
the
proposed
alteration
of
new
construction
is
appropriate
in
the
heritage
conservation
district
and
whether
the
application
meets
the
relevant
guidelines
and
policy.
A
general
direction
regarding
height
and
density
is
obviously
set
through
the
official
plan
and
zoning
bylaw.
A
Our
first
registered
speaker
is
for
the
applicant
and
that's
roberto
campos
from
figure.
Architects,
collective
and
the
he,
I
believe,
is
joined
by
john
stewart,
tim
bead
and
miguel
tremblay
and
josh
corey.
Who
are
there
to
answer
questions,
but
my
understanding
is
that
the
lead
presentation
will
be
brought
to
us
by
roberto
so
roberto
if
you've
joined
us,
you
do
have
five
minutes.
A
N
You
chair,
thank
you
to
fellow
counselors
as
part
of
the
committee,
the
the
other
members
of
the
of
this
bill
heritage
committee
certainly
thank
our
planning
staff
and
heritage
staff
who
have
been
working
with
us
over
the
past
couple
of
years
in
developing
this
project.
You
know
certainly
glad
ceda
actually
prepared
a
very
detailed
presentation.
N
I
think
a
lot
of
the
stuff
that
I
prepared
here
today
is
very
similar
to
what
she's
presented,
but
I
think,
most
importantly,
that
we,
what
we
really
wanted
to
talk
about
is
is
the
story,
how
we've,
how
we've
really
gotten
here.
I
think
this
proposal
is
a
result
of
various
design
iterations
strengthened
by
the
comments
received
from
various
discussions
and
presentations
by
our
design
team
to
planning
staff
to
the
counselor's
office.
N
John
stewart,
our
our
heritage
consultant,
who
also
worked
with
me,
and
our
staff
in
creating
this
concept,
is
available
to
answer
questions
related
to
the
history
heritage,
as
well
as
members
from
foten
who
who
are
who
are
here
to
answer
any
questions
regarding
zoning.
I
think
we
can
quickly
go
through
the
slides
again.
I
think
ashley
has
done
a
great
job
in
preparing
a
very
detailed
document.
The
next
slide.
N
As
you
can
see,
the
site,
as
she's
mentioned,
is
an
amalgamation
of
the
three
properties
on
the
site
that,
if
the
the
parking
lot
has
been
there
since
the
the
this
that
I
believe
this
70s,
and
so
really,
this
is
not
about
taking
away
building
but
actually
adding
and
contributing
to
the
to
the
bookend
of
this
site.
Next
slide,
just
some
views,
I
think,
we're
all
fairly
familiar
with
the
site.
N
N
N
Looking
at
what
is
existing
as
far
as
the
vertical
language,
the
the
articulation
of
windows,
the
the
volumes,
the
the
negatives
versus
solids,
the
data
planes
and
ultimately
creating
a
contemporary
understanding
and
expression
of
what
is
happening
on
the
street,
to
really
focus
that
podium
design
next
slide,
which
ultimately
results
in
in
in
this
in
this
proposal.
Again
always
the
idea
of
the
public
realm
at
the
ground
plane
as
being
vital
to
the
to
its
integration,
which
is
a
continuity
of
the
vibrancy
that's
happening
on
somerset
street
west.
N
That
has
always
been
our
focus
in
really
creating
this.
This
experience
of
the
four-story
podium
this
time
for
us
again
the
idea
of
the
active
entries
to
the
residential
active
entries
to
the
commercial
at
the
corner,
whether
supporting
office
spaces
for
for
the
building
or
amenity
areas,
always
being,
first
and
foremost,
prompted
on
to
either
o'connor
or
or
on
somerset.
B
B
N
I
think
that'll
always
be
our
number
one
priority.
I
you
know
whether
we're
going
to
get
the
exact
same
brick,
that's
been
there
for
pretty
close
to
200
years
is
a
very
difficult
task.
I
think,
but
we're
certainly,
as
you
can
see
in
the
tone
that
we've
picked
it's
you
know.
The
volume
of
the
building
in
the
podium
is
still
very
contemporary,
but
the
brick
has
got
a
sense
of
texture
to
it
and
so
and
a
slight
variation
of
color,
which
you
can
you
can
get
so
I
think
that'll
certainly
be
one
of
our.
B
C
Yes,
thank
you
chair
a
quick
question
regarding
the
material
palette
for
this
site.
You
made
reference
to
a
lot
of
brick
a
lot
of
glass.
A
lot
of
metal,
one
of
the
other
very
dominant
materials
along
somerset
village,
is
the
use
of
wood
wooden
windows.
Wood
in
fascia
wood
in
molded
elements,
wood
in
the
porches.
So
I
was
wondering
if
you
could
just
elaborate
on
the
choice
to
omit
wood
from
the
material
pallet
on
this
building.
Right.
N
So
you
know
it's
it's
a
little
bit.
We'd
love
to
you
know
the
other
balance
that,
as
an
architect
team
that
we
always
look
at
is
obviously
the
limitations
of
the
building
code.
You
know,
and
so
certainly
things
like
non-combustible
construction
and
which
is
what
is
really
required
for
this
building
is
going
to
take
precedence,
and
so
you
know
the
one
section
where
we
show
you
know
the
the
soffits
being
in
wood.
N
P
N
Right
so,
to
be
very
honest,
I
think
the
the
so
okay,
let's
so,
if
one
the
material
that's
on
there
right
now
is
really
we
have
to
pick
a
material
relevant
of
color,
so
we
have
to
pick
a
material
in
this
case.
What
is
going
to
be
a
basically
what
we
call
the
industry
of
freezer
panel?
It's
like
an
industrial
panel
that
comes
as
a
component.
It's
insulated.
N
It's
it's
got
its
own
insulation,
it
basically
fastens
right
onto
the
structure
directly,
and
a
lot
of
that
is
just
the
limitations
of
where
structure
is
in
relation
to
the
property
line,
because
we
are
fairly
close
to
the
property
line
on
that
side
and
making
sure
that
we
don't
build
a
an
envelope
there.
That
is
very,
very
thick
or
we
end
up
being
a
over
the
property
line
and
we're
trying
to
maintain
the
balance
of
where
foundations
are
below
in
order
to
make
the
parking
garage
work.
N
So
it's
a
bit
of
a
that's
kind
of
what's
really
created
the
or
made
the
decision
for
us
to
use
that
particular
material.
The
color,
I
think,
when
we
put
it
in,
was
really
just
to
try
to
maintain
that
tone.
That's
already
around
the
building,
a
the
brick
and
that
color
that's
already
around
the
detailing.
So
I
think
that's
really
where
that
came
from.
We
tried
to
soften
it
along
the
northern
design
by
including
a
brand
new
cedar
fence
which
would
go
up.
N
You
know,
in
this
case
we're
limited
to
the
seven
feet
as
a
way
of
creating
a
bit
of
that
backdrop
against
that
metal
panel
for
the
further
north
for
the
northern
neighbors
you
know,
can
it
be
changed?
Absolutely
I
think
we
color
you
know
is
is
something
we
can
look
at
for
sure,
as
as
you
know,
within
this,
with
what's
available
within
with
the
suppliers
for
sure.
So
I
don't
think
that
is
certainly
out
of
the
line
for
us
to
kind
of
relook
at
whether
we
get
a
lighter
color.
I
think
also.
N
A
B
P
P
N
Right
so
yeah
it's
about
1.8
meters,
different
from
from
the
top
of
the
fence
to
the
roof
edge,
and
then,
but
what
we
also
did
include
was
a
series
of
planters
that
would
be
lined
up
against
that
roof
line,
so
that
planting
could
be
up
there
as
well.
There's
no
terrace,
there's!
No,
so
no
tenant
would
have
access
to
a
terrorist.
You
know
the
planters
would
be
maintained
by
by
the
building
staff,
but
that
that
is
part
of
the
plan.
G
N
A
I
I
Despite
the
initial
concerns
expressed
by
the
community
and
the
udrp
about
the
massing
height
and
face
of
the
building,
and
yes,
we
have
to
remember
that
it
is
one
building.
The
proposal
does
not
appear
to
have
effectively
mitigated
these
concerns
and
those
applying
to
the
heritage
conservation
district.
I
Both
the
four-story
podium
and
the
14-story
tower
above
are
totally
out
of
scale
with
the
existing
neighborhood
rather
than
respect
and
be
sensitive
to
the
cultural
heritage,
value
of
the
center-town
heritage
conservation
district.
The
proposal
is
not
evocative
of
the
small
scale,
residential
type
buildings
to
the
west,
south
and
north
of
the
proposed
development.
I
A
L
Thank
you.
The
urban
design
review
panel
opposed
a
tower
at
this
site
in
the
strongest
language.
I've
ever
heard
the
udrp
use
I'll
quote
directly
from
the
verbal
remarks
the
chair
of
the
udrp
made
in
summarizing.
He
said
I'm
quoting.
We
always
thought
this
is
a
mid-rise
site.
Let
us
be
very
clear:
we
don't
believe
this
is
a
tower
site.
It
is
overwhelming.
It
is
far
too
much
density.
L
The
udrp
understands
that
a
traditional
main
street
and
somerset
is
a
traditional
main
street
is
not
a
place
for
a
high-rise.
So,
given
the
udrp
opposed
to
tower
at
this
site,
what
did
the
developer?
Do
they
revised
the
design
and
came
back
with
a
taller
tower?
I'll
repeat
that
the
udrp
said
no
tower.
The
developer
came
back
with
a
taller
tower.
L
L
L
L
She
was
referring
to
the
establishment
establishment
of
a
president
allowing
high
rises
on
a
traditional
main
street
when
ashley
spoke
earlier.
She
pointed
to
the
tall
buildings
to
the
north
of
this
site,
which
are
not
as
tall
as
what
is
proposed
here,
but
she
pointed
those
buildings
nearby
as
part
of
a
rationale
for
allowing
this
high
rise.
L
If
you
allow
a
big
tall
tower
on
somerset,
then
in
future
city
staff
and
developers
will
point
to
it
to
rationalize
more
high-rises
on
a
traditional
main
street.
The
centertown
community
association
urges
you
to
honor
somerset
as
a
traditional
main
street.
Do
not
put
a
tower
there
do
not
set
a
precedent
for
a
street
that
has
a
delightful
character
and
should
not
become
a
canyon
of
high
rises,
honor,
the
heritage,
character
of
somerset
village
and
summerset
as
a
traditional
main
street.
L
A
P
Thank
you
chair
thanks
thanks
jack
jack.
Can
I
I
just
want
to
delve
into
something
around
the
the
height,
as
you
know,
we're
dealing
with
heritage
today,
so
a
vote
today
can
be
very
different
than
a
vote
at
planning.
Voting
council
heritage.
Is
that
one
area
where
we
we
really
do
look
at
applications
strictly
from
a
heritage
perspective,
and
I
wonder
how
we
would
rationalize
it.
There
is
a
portion
of
this
property
that
is
zoned
for
height.
P
L
I'm
not
a
heritage
expert,
but
I
point
out
to
you
that
the
the
the
paul
tower
is
allowed
on
the
backer
of
this
property.
The
tower
now
occupies
80
of
the
property.
The
tower
will
be
far
far
farther
away
from
much
farther
away
from
somerset
if
it
was
on
the
the
portion
of
the
property
that
is
zoned
for
27
stories
right
now,
it's
about
half
the
length
of
an
oc
transpo
bus
back
from
the
facade
on
somerset.
L
P
A
B
A
Q
Q
It's
a
traditional
street
and
a
and
there
are
no
tall
buildings,
as
as
you
could
see,
from
the
slides
presented
by
the
city
and
the
developer.
Everything
is
low
rise
or
not
tall
in
the
surrounding
streets,
and
this
is
visit.
These
are
trend
traditional
streets
and
they're,
not
meant
for
sky
price
sky
skyscrapers.
Q
This
will
be,
I
know
the
developer
is,
is
putting
the
emphasis
on
the
podium,
but
it
doesn't
detract
from
the
fact
that
this
that
they
want
to
build
an
18-story
building.
So
I
would
hope
I
mean
this
that
the
members
of
the
of
this
committee
will
take
that
into
consideration
and
and
as
well.
We
support
the
the
comments
from
heritage
ottawa
and
the
community
central
town
community
association.
So
thank
you.
A
I
see
none
but,
of
course
it's
important
to
reiterate
that
the
properties
designated
under
part
5
of
the
act
for
us,
the
question
is
whether
the
proposed
alteration
or
new
construction
is
appropriate
in
the
heritage
conservation
district
and
whether
the
application
meets
the
relevant
guidelines
and
policies.
Obviously,
questions
regarding
height
and
density,
as
I
had
noted
before
are
said
and
as
councilor
mckinney
had
noted
before
are
set
through
zoning
bylaw
and
or
more
the
province
of
the
planning
committee
than
the
built
heritage
subcommittee.
So
just
wanted
to
reintegrate.
A
B
R
Thank
you
chair
and
thank
you
for
giving
me
the
opportunity
to
speak
this
morning.
Listen
for
the
members
of
this
committee.
I
I
live
at
354
cooper,
so
I'm
on
the
north
side
and
councillor
mckinney
did
allude
to
some
of
the
the
materials
used
on
the
northern
side
and
again
there
there's
two
properties:
there's
three:
five:
four
and
three:
five:
six,
I'm
representing
both
homes.
Here,
the
other
owners
being
away
on
vacation
and,
like
I
say,
they're
residential
homes.
R
We
have
worked
with
the
developer
and
that
we're
happy
that
they're
internalizing
the
garage
with
respect
to
noise
and
pollution
and
and
so
forth.
So
we
are
happy
with
that.
I
want
the
members
to
recognize
that
the
there
is
no
setback.
However,
on
the
northern
side,
well,
there's
a
0.31,
I
think,
meter
setback
that
allows
for
what
roberto
mentioned
the
architect.
You
know
a
structure
that
actually
bolts
well
onto
the
the
structure.
R
If
not,
it
wouldn't
have
the
space
to-
I
guess,
maybe
brick
or
or
create
something
like
that,
like
a
brick
facade,
but
what
we're
concerned
about
we
we're
not
hiding
about
the
mass
and
the
height
and
all
this.
These
were
concerns
that
we've
had
since
day
one,
but
we
are
happy
about
the
garage
now
we're
with
respect
to
the
structure
as
it
it
is
proposed
right
now.
We
just
want
to
make
sure
that
you
know
the
black
cladding
on
the
northern
side
and
the
western
side
is
actually
really
soft.
R
We
talk
about
vines
and
so
forth.
How
is
that
really
going
to
materialize,
materialize
and
softening
those
heritage,
homes,
there's
heritage,
1
and
heritage
2
homes?
So
we
want
to
make
sure
that
the
developer
group
actually
really
attempts
to
soften
that
and
again,
you
may
not
know,
but
the
foundation
of
the
heritage.
One
house
on
the
northern
side
is
actually
ten
feet
roughly
or
three
meters
from
that
garage
structure.
So
again,
they're
very
close
to
the
property
line,
we're
for
intensification.
R
We
understand
we're
not
in
not
in
my
backyard
type
of
people,
even
though
it
is
actually
in
the
backyard.
So
it's
only
10
feet
away,
but
again
there.
I
I'm
employing
the
developer
group
to
make
sure
that
that
is
somewhat
softened.
I
know
there's
a
2.1
meter
fence
that
is
shown
on
the
design,
which
is
the
maximum
height
there's
a
lot
of
variances
that
have
been
accepted
here
for
the
developer.
R
Why
wouldn't
that
fence
a
wooden
fence
be
brought
up
to
the
height
of
the
roughly
13
foot
garage
height?
I
think
that
there's
exceptions
in
this
process.
We
should
probably
have
an
exception
with
respect
to
you
know
getting
that
material
material
out
of
our
sight
line.
We
have
brick
and
wood
these
properties
and,
if
there's
brick
and
wood,
then
we're
kind
of
like
okay,
despite
the
lack
of
setback
so
again
there.
This
is
no
surprise
to
the
developer
group.
R
R
R
I
think
that
triangle
was
there
to
actually
build
a
16,
and
I
do
appreciate
the
tm
component,
which
was
a
smaller
height
that
was
supposed
to
be
there,
but
I
leave
that
to
the
city
of
ottawa
and
the
planners
to
decide.
What's
the
appropriate,
you
know
height,
and
you
know,
structure
to
be
put
on
that
property
and-
and
one
last
comment-
maybe
if
somebody
could
answer
that
jack
hannah
mentioned
the
udrp
that
had
strong
resistance
to
this
project?
R
A
P
P
Perfect
well
done,
we've
gone
back
and
forth
a
lot
on
this.
We
worked
with
the
developer
on
on
your
concerns
and
I
think
in
the
end
mark,
if
I,
if,
if
I
can
kind
of
summarize
right
today,
then
that
that
black
clothing
that
you
know
on
the
north
side,
north
and
west,
really
but
the
north
side,
that
directly
faces
your
backyard.
P
P
If
I
can,
if
I
can
just
ensure
that
I
understand
correctly,
because
there
is
a
a
process
for
working
through
some
minor
design,
changes
that
will
be
delegated
to
the
general
manager
going
going
forward
so
that
that
black
cladding,
whether
it's
a
lighter
material
or
the
city,
allowing
the
fence
to
go
above
the
the
the
height
limit
or
vines
kind
of
pouring
over.
But
what
you
were
looking
for
is
a
real
softening
of
that
wall.
That's
very
close
to
your
to
your
property
on
that
on
that
garage
wall.
P
R
All
this
stuff-
and
we
had
talked
to
the
developer
group,
where
maybe
the
internalization
of
a
garage
at
the
height
of
my
fence,
which
the
fence
is
about
three
meters,
is
something
that
we
would
appreciate,
and
I
think
it's
it's
it's
something
that
would
have
benefited
the
developer
and
354
and
356
cooper
in
the
sense
of
if
it
wasn't
open,
face
access,
no
garage,
there's
a
lot
of
individuals
using
that
part
for
drugs.
You
know
I
won't
get
too
graphical
here,
but
it's
a
public,
washroom
graffitis
and
all
these
things.
R
So
we
said
that
geez
we
could
get
a
benefit
of
having
an
enclosed
garage
where
you'd
have
less
of
this
people
congregating
there,
of
course,
so
we
win
there.
But
at
the
same
time
I
think,
as
a
developer,
you
don't
want
to
have
sketchy
individuals,
kind
of
living
beside
your
property.
So
it
was
a
concession,
catherine
and-
and
you
mentioned
the
black
cladding,
I'm
also
representing
256
cooper.
R
So
when
you
look
at
it
from
that
side
of
that
property,
the
black
the
west
side,
the
black
cladding,
gets
a
little
bit
more
predominant
because
there's
a
different
height
there's
a
height
of
13
feet,
which
is
the
garage.
But
then,
when
you
look
at
it
from
the
west,
it
actually
goes
up
to
about
16
feet,
give
or
take
I'm
just
eyeballing
this
and
then,
when
you
look
at
it
along
the
side
of
union
restaurant,
that
roberta
was
mentioning.
R
Oh,
you
have
brick
right
and
you
also
have
landscaping
between
a
tight
squeeze
between
union
and
that
brick
podium,
but
there's
actually
doesn't
appear
to
be
any
landscaping
for
the
residential
property
at
356
cooper,
which
is
my
neighbor.
So
I
think
it's
it's
actually
looking
at
that
and
again
there
we're
just
about
finished
a
marathon
here.
It
just
needs
to
have
some
sensitivity
towards
residential
heritage
single-family
homes
on
the
north.
That
has
rarely
been
addressed
by
the
heritage
reports
that
were
prepared
for
this
project.
P
A
E
Yes,
I
do
thank
you
chair.
This
is
to
ashley
heritage
staff
in
the
cultural
heritage
impact
statement
and
in
the
staff
report,
it
is
acknowledged
that
this
18-story
building
will
have
an
impact
on
the
character
of
the
heritage,
conservation
district,
and
yet
the
staff
report
recommends
approval
for
it.
E
I
do
appreciate
the
introduction
of
the
four-story
brick
podium.
I
think
that
is
a
very
sensitive
move
to
maintain
the
scale
of
the
somerset
street
village
and
bookend
the
east
end,
such
as
what
we
have
on
the
west
end
and
I'm
quite
familiar
with
the
somerset
village
in
that
in
1998,
331,
somerset,
burned
to
the
ground,
and
we
were
the
architects
that
faithfully
reconstructed
it
to
take
its
place
in
the
the
heritage
character
of
the
street.
E
So
if
you
would
be
kind
enough
just
to
respond
to
the
questions
that
have
been
raised
about
the
udrp
strong
recommendation
against
a
high-rise
building
here
and
the
concern
that
has
been
expressed
in
the
chis
about
the
impact
on
the
heritage
district,
could
you
please
respond
to
why
the
staff
report
recommends
approval?
Thank
you.
M
Yes
through
you,
mr
chair,
I
might
defer
to
my
colleague,
steve
gotcha
for
some
of
the
udrp
question
or
answer
there,
but
I'll
certainly
start
off
through
the
secondary
plan.
More
height
is
contemplated
through
through
all
of
center
town,
and
this
is
areas
as
alluded
to
earlier.
The
back
of
the
site.
M
So
we're
really
looking
at
that,
as
as
our
our
medium
really
for
making
that
compatibility
better
from
a
tower
to
down
to
the
low-scale
area
around
around
the
property
and
that's
for
udrp
if
steve
gote
is
available
here,
but
they
as
jack
hannah-
and
I
think
caridwa
also
mentioned
that
there
wasn't
a
comment
about
this
not
being
a
tower
site.
But
if
staff
felt
that
tower
was
appropriate,
there
should
be
certain
mitigation
measures
implemented.
K
So
if
you'd,
like
development
review
staff,
to
comment
on
the
udrp
comments,
when
this
proposal
first
attended
udrp,
as
mentioned
by
mr
hannah
hurlier,
they
had
concerned
with
this
type
of
typology
tower
typology.
But
did
it
indicate
that,
if
development
review
staff
would
be
supportive
that
certain
measures
should
be
should
be
followed?
K
So,
but
essentially,
if
I'm
I'm
looking
into
the
summary
of
the
the
first
comments,
the
first
visit
to
udrp-
and
it
says
here
and
I'm
quoting
the
irise
typology-
poses-
poses
adjacency
issues
with
the
neighboring
sites
and
that's
why,
starting
from
that,
first
visit
staff
has
asked
for
different.
We've.
We've
looked
at
different
design,
iterations
as
mr
campos
presented,
and
that's
why
we
have
asked
for
increased
setback
and
step
back,
particularly
on
the
front
along
somerset
and
on
the
west
side.
K
K
It
gains
a
bit
more
distance
as
it
goes
towards
the
north,
so
at
the
north
of
the
site
the
setback
will
be
two
meters,
but
the
step
back
of
the
tower
is
3.5
meters.
So,
in
addition
to
the
1.3,
you
get
a
3.5
meter
step
back
for
the
tower
and,
as
I
said,
the
and
I
I
should
mention
the
the
front
setback,
the
closest
that
the
podium
gets
to
somerset
is
2.5
meters
plus
another
6.5,
on
top
of
the
podium
to
reach
the
tower
and
the
podium
is
all
bricked
around.
K
It
ties
with
the
other
four-story
building
on
the
northeast
of
somerset
and
bank.
So
that's
why
we've
used
the
comments
from
the
udrp
to
really
push
for
measures
at
the
podium
level
to
ensure
that
this
development
is
as
sensitive
as
possible,
with
its
surrounding
and
also
the
tower
itself
has
a
very
modest
footprint
of
590
meters.
So
this
a
cast
narrower
narrower
shadows
on
the
properties
adjacent
to
this
development.
So
I
hope
this
answers.
The
question.
A
B
Yeah
I
was
going
to
ask
a
similar
question
to
remember
podelski,
but
maybe
on
the
udrp,
do
they
have
a
did
they
have?
I
haven't
read
the
udrp
report
on
this,
but
did
they
have
specific
comments
about
this
application,
as
it
relates
to
the
heritage
elements
in
the
heritage
conservation
district?
Can
you
just
just
clarify
how
specific
their
comments
were
or
were
not
to
to
the
heritage?
B
K
Okay-
well,
I
I
do
see
here
again
in
the
first
visit.
It
says
the
the
required
separation,
distance
and
relationship
heritage
billing
do
not
support
a
tower.
An
important
point
here
is
that
there's
normally
minimum
distances
between
towers
in
this
case,
because
the
the
depth
of
the
property
is
north
of
this
development
would
not
provide
sufficient
developable
area
for
a
tower.
K
There
will
not
be
a
scenario
with
the
two
towers,
one
against
the
other
in
in
terms
of
the
relationship
to
the
heritage
buildings.
Well,
there's
the
a
podium
that
we've
we've
discussed
with
the
brick.
There
were
discussions
about
putting
brick
for
the
garage
enclosure
and
there's
also
other
measures
that
can
be
contemplated
through
siteman
approval
to
soften
that
wall
with
a
virginia
creeper,
for
example.
K
But
what's
important
to
mention
here
is
that
with
that
podium
and
with
that
garage
enclosure,
the
perspective
down
to
the
private
amenity
area
to
the
rear
backyards
of
those
properties
to
the
north
is
obstructed
first
by
that
enclosure
and
second,
on
top
of
the
four-story
podium
it.
The
tower
was
initially
flush
with
the
podium,
but
staff
has
asked
for
a
1.5
meter
step
back.
Also
so
the
fifth
floor
is
step
back
1.5
meter,
which
withers,
which
is
sufficient
to
obstruct
the
perspective
down
into
the
backyard.
B
How
do
you
assess
compatibility?
I
mean
next
door
to
this.
There
are
some
three-story
victorian
homes
and,
behind
it,
kind
of
a
similar
across
the
street.
There's
a
more
modern
building
further
west
on
on
bank
street
there's
a
maybe
a,
I
think,
a
five
or
six
story
building.
That's
perhaps
more
similar
to
this
one.
How
broadly
do
you
look
in
compatibility?
Are
you
looking
at
the
immediate
neighbors?
M
For
this
one,
we
are
looking
mainly
at
that
same
streetscape
on
somerset,
since
somerset
village
is
a
quite
quite
iconic
and
intact
streetscape.
So,
as
you
mentioned,
there
are
about
three,
mostly
three-story
heights,
former
houses,
rather
than
mainly
converted
to
commercial
space
with
the
other
end
of
bank
street
to
the
west
end
of
that
block
being
a
four-story
building.
So
we
were
considering
mainly
that
side
the
street
the
north
side
for
compatibility,
knowing
that
also
the
south
end
south
side
of
somerset
also
has
those
victorian
houses.
C
Looking
at
the
submission
to
udrp
and
again
staff's
presentation
today
on
how
the
design
has
evolved,
it
seems
that
previous
iterations
had
incorporated
more
of
the
elements
from
those
three-story
gable:
roof
sort
of
victorian
style
houses
along
somerset
village,
a
little
bit
more,
I'm
thinking
specifically,
there
are
arched
two-story
windows
that
are
reflective
of
those,
albeit
on
a
much
larger
scale.
Within
the
heritage
homes,
there
is
a
sort
of
black-clad
banded
story
that
functions
as
a
quasi
coronis.
C
M
Through
you
chair,
I
can
I'm
not
sure
if
I'm
back
to
the
best
person
to
answer
that
question
that
likely
the
architect
those
curved
elements
as
you
load
to
the
window,
the
arched
windows
that
was
changed
in
the
recent
submission.
I'm
not
entirely
sure
why
they've
made
that
design
design
decision.
I
think
we
gave
the
direction
just
to
simplify
the
design,
to
increase
compatibility
and
make
it
a
little
more
subtle,
but
I'm
not
entirely
sure
as
to
the
reason
why
the
arched
windows
were
fully
removed.
C
Okay,
well,
I
don't
know
chair
if
I
would
be
allowed
to
pose
that
to
the
the
project
architect.
Just
of
note
udrp
had
at
the
time
said
they
appreciated
the
analysis
of
the
site
and
wanted
to
see
more
of
an
incorporation
of
those
features.
So
seeing
us
backtracking
a
bit,
it
may
be
worth
just
hearing
the
rationale.
B
A
N
N
I
I
think
through
consultation
with
our
own
heritage,
consultant,
we
kind
of
looked
at
ways
of
softening
the
the
language.
I
think
the
proportions
kind
of
looked
a
little
bit
awkward
in
our
mind.
We
did
actually
look
at
it
with
the
arched
windows
at
the
four-story
kind
of
design,
but
that
extra
floor
really
kind
of
you
know
things.
You
know
when
you
start
looking
at
it
as
an
architect.
You
start
testing
it
and
looking
at
it
and
it
just
some
things.
N
Just
didn't
seem
right,
and
so
we
worked
actually
with
john
and
to
kind
of
look
at
the
facades
and
and
and
really
looking
at
the
step
back
to
the
podium
of
the
story
of
the
of
the
balconies,
as
well
as
the
window
treatment
and
basically
looked
at
it
as
a
finding
way
to
simplify
the
design.
And
that's
really
where
it
came
from.
C
N
The
the
one
in
bank
street-
no,
no,
I
think
the
like,
as
if
you
look
at
the
sketch
the
idea
is
the
potion
pulls
the
volumes.
The
solids
the
voids
are
are
really
really
taking
their
cues
from
the
victorian
homes
down
the
street.
I
think
the
datum
lines,
the
you
know,
the
location
of
the
second
floor.
Third
floor.
Fourth
floor
are
picking
up
their
datum
lines
from
also
the
victorians,
and
then
the
idea
of
the
fourth
story
was
looking
at
this
as
an
anchor
bookend
for
the
site.
M
C
P
Finish,
you
know
where
the
black
cladding
is
being
proposed
on
the
north
and
south
side,
just
if
they
could
explore
some
some
changes
to
that,
and
you
know,
and
maybe
further
that
with
some
some
landscaping.
I
really
am
sensitive
to
the
that
black
cladding
and
the
the
dark
tower.
I
just
think
that,
from
the
perspective
of
the
residents
to
the
north,
it
would
go
a
long
way
in
making
making
the
what
we
have
in
front
of
us
more
conducive
to.
C
Sorry,
chair
snuck,
in
at
the
end
there
I
just
wanted
to
express
that
I
I
really
do
understand
and
appreciate
the
amount
of
time
and
revision
and
patience
and
effort
from
community
members
from
neighbors
from
the
proponent
and
their
consulting
team
and
from
the
city
to
refine
this
proposal
and
to
get
it
to
somewhere.
We
want
to
be.
C
C
It
looks
like
three
quarters
of
the
lot
is
zoned
traditional
main
street,
and
it's
just
that
northernmost
parcel.
That
brings
it
back
to
the
r5
city.
Staff
are
supportive
of
having
the
tower
at
this
location,
but,
given
that
the
balance
is
again
traditional
main
street,
having
compatibility
with
these
features
and
elements
is
important
in
a
sense,
it
helps
define
what
the
future
vision
would
be
for
somerset.
More
broadly,
traditional
main
street
carries
down
the
road
quite
a
bit.
C
It's
not
just
on
somerset
village
here,
as
defined
between
o'connor
and
bank,
and
we
are
very
lucky
that
in
this
particular
spot
we
have
so
many
residents
that
use
the
space
and
know
it
and
love
it
and
have
come
out
to
offer
their
opinions.
So
I
hope
we
are
able
to
get
it
through
past
the
finish
line
and
refine
those
final
elements.
G
Thank
you
chair.
I
too
would
like
to
congratulate
everybody.
That's
been
working
very
hard
on
the
various
iterations
that
have
come
well
not
before
us,
but
that
have
been
developed
in
the
process
of
getting
to
this
point,
and
I
think
the
most
recent
version
of
the
podium
from
the
somerset
side
is
a
vast
improvement.
G
But
overall
my
comments.
I
would
also
like
to
to
say
that
to
staff
and
to
certain
of
my
elected
colleagues
today,
that
height
and
the
impact
of
height
on
the
integrity
and
quality
of
a
heritage,
conservation
district
is
indeed
extremely
valuable
and
an
important
consideration
and
to
have
heard
an
attempt
for
us
not
to
address
that
issue
today,
because
it's
a
planning
issue
is
a
little
concerning
for
me
personally.
G
In
particular,
I
think
that
this
tower
at
18
stories
is
too
high
and
I
am
not
going
to
be
supporting
the
recommendation
today,
but
I
do
appreciate
the
the
work
that
that
has
gone
into
it
and
I
just
think
it
needs
to
be
less
dense,
less
height
in
order
to
better
reflect
the
values
of
this
heritage
conservation
district,
and
this
is
from
a
heritage
perspective
that
I
am
addressing
the
height
issue.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
A
center-town
heritage
study
that
is
nearing
completion
will
soon
propose
a
new
heritage
concert
conservation
district
plan
for
adoption.
That
will
bring
current
guidelines
up
to
date,
with
the
stand
with
the
current
planning
context,
because
the
current
secondary
plan
does
contemplate
high-rises
heritage
staff,
as
we
heard
focused
on
the
review
of
the
podium
to
ensure
its
compatibility
with
the
existing
streetscape
character.
A
The
tower
would
be
set
back,
eight
meters
from
somerset
street,
allowing
the
podium's
massing
to
echo
the
heights
along
the
north
side
of
somerset
street
and
to
serve
as
a
bookend
to
the
three
and
four-story
volumes
at
the
corner
of
somerset
and
bank
street.
It
is
also
important
to
note
that
the
situation
at
this
location
is
unique
in
that
it
is
an
amalgamation
of
three
vacant,
lots
that
do
not
contain
any
heritage
buildings
and
the
new
building
would
re-establish
a
continuous
streetscape
along
somerset
and
o'connor
street.
A
A
M
M
M
The
properties
were
constructed
around
1876
as
a
cluster
of
three
two
and
a
half
front
gate.
Sorry,
sorry,
three,
two
and
a
half
story
front
gable,
brick
houses,
numbers,
197
and
201
have
been
heavily
altered
over
the
years
with
stucco
applied
to
their
front
facades,
iron
forged
replacing
the
original
wooden
ones
and
the
removal
of
the
barge
board
a
garage
has
been
erected
between
the
two
houses.
M
M
As
far
as
timeline
goes,
these
properties
were
constructed
around
1876
and
designated
under
part
five
of
the
act
in
1994
in
2003,
the
former
owner,
applied
to
demolish
the
properties
under
the
demolition
control
provisions
of
the
planning
act.
This
application
was
refused
by
council
in
2005,
as
there
was
no
hair
accompanying
heritage
application.
M
These
properties
were
added
to
the
heritage
watch
list
in
2016
and
receive
regular
monitoring
for
compliance
to
property
standards
by
law.
Over
the
past
10
years,
several
orders
under
the
building
code
act
were
issued
and
work
was
undertaken
to
brace
and
secure
the
buildings
next
slide
over
the
course
of
the
last
15
years
or
more.
These
buildings
have
sat
vacant
and
have
been
the
subject
of
neglect
and
vandalism.
M
The
properties
have
been
braced
and
fenced
and
monitored
by
staff
and
building
code
services
for
several
years.
Engineering
reports
by
ultraviolet
engineering,
as
well
as
art
engineering
state
that
both
the
buildings
are
in
very
poor
condition.
Concluding
that
nearly
nearly
all
the
elements
would
need
to
be
replaced
due
to
their
condition
and
it
would.
It
would
be
best
to
demolish
the
existing
structures.
M
Next
slide,
the
staff
recommend
to
approve
the
demolition
of
the
subject
properties,
subject
to
the
following
conditions:
that
essentially
the
property
is
maintained,
clean
landscaped
and
not
used
for
any
other
purposes
until
the
application
comes
forward
and
new
construction.
Sorry
until
new
construction
commences
and,
lastly,
also
to
issue
the
heritage
permit
for
the
demolition
of
the
two
properties.
A
I
A
A
B
There's
flashing
sign,
saying
unmute
on
mute
and
I
was
ignoring
it
sorry
about
that,
the
I
I
I
just
wanted
to
add
my
support
to
the
comments
from
mr
fleming
and
and
ashley
in
terms
of
the
demolition
of
these
two
buildings.
It's
been
a
sort
of
a
sort
of
a
these
two
buildings
have
ended
up
being
orphans
in
a
conservation
district,
and
it's
been
unfortunate
to
sort
of
watch
these
buildings
as
they
deteriorate.
B
I
think
on
the
positive
side
is
that
the
plan
being
put
forward
and
has
been
developed
is,
is
very
sensitive.
It's
well
thought
out
and
the
replacement
apartment
building
will
in
fact
support
the
intent
of
the
conservation
district
and
will
address
the
the
quality
of
the
rest
of
the
buildings
on
the
street
and
the
quality
of
the
streetscape.
B
A
G
Sorry
yeah
I
I
was
a
little
late.
Getting
to
my
my
hand,
it's
really
just
a
question
of
what
the
calendar
looking
forward.
Just
you
know.
I
don't
know
john
if
you
can
answer
this,
but
in
terms
of
the
planning
when
the
development
is
anticipated
and
in
the
meantime,
after
the
buildings
are
demolished
and
before
that
is
undertaken.
B
O
A
A
A
A
A
A
So
this
report
is
scheduled
to
be
presented
to
council
on
may
25th
can,
and
our
next
item
involves
an
application
to
alter
126
york
street
a
property
designated
under
part
5
of
the
heritage
act
and
located
in
the
byward
market
heritage
conservation
district
can
staff.
Please
provide
an
overview
of
this
report.
F
F
So
the
notification
in
front
of
you
today
is
to
alter
126
york
street
next
slide.
The
property
is
a
through
lot
with
frontage
on
both
york
and
george
street.
The
portion
of
the
property
with
the
historic
building
is
located
in
the
bywood
market.
Hcd
next
slide.
Here's
an
aerial
view
for
some
context.
You
can
see
the
southern
portion
of
the
property
is
a
parking
lot
and
the
northern
portion
has
the
historic
structure
next
slide.
It
is
a
five-story
building
with
brick
and
precast
stone.
Cladding.
F
The
front
facade
has
a
wonderful
architectural
detailing,
including
the
pier
pit,
with
a
curved
middle
cornice,
large
industrial
windows
and
a
decorative
stone
front
entrance
next
slide.
These
are
the
side
and
rear
facades
of
the
building
which
feature
an
exposed
concrete
grid.
The
design
of
these
sides
of
the
building
is
more
industrial
and
functional
in
its
use.
You
can
see
there
a
three-story
addition
that
was
constructed
between
1928
and
1958,
but
does
not
contribute
to
the
cultural
heritage
value
of
this
building.
F
Next,
these
are
some
historic
photos
of
the
structure.
It
was
constructed
in
1913
as
a
wholesale
grocery
grocery
warehouse
for
the
major
family.
A
prominent
fake
francophone
family
in
early
20th
century
ottawa,
it
was
designed
as
an
industrial
interpretation
in
the
bozart
style
by
c.p
meredith,
a
well-known
ottawa
architect
up
next
you'll,
see
what's
being
proposed.
F
These
are
the
elevations,
the
york
and
george
street
elevations.
Overall.
This
is
an
adapter
for
use,
project
that
will
rehabilitate
and
convert
the
historic
building
into
a
hotel,
and
the
connected
high-rise
will
be
an
apartment
building
with
rental
units.
The
small
one-story
recessed
edition
will
feature
a
restaurant.
There
are
two
stories
or
two
levels
rather
of
underground
parking
being
proposed.
This
application
will
also
require
a
zoning
bylaw
amendment
next
slide.
F
These
are
the
east
and
west
elevations.
You
can
see.
The
high-rise
edition
will
be
set
back
about
nine
meters
from
the
existing
heritage
building
and
the
height
of
the
new
building
steps
away
from
the
historic
structure
in
landscape
terraces
up
up
and
up
to
the
george
street
frontage,
the
cladding
on
the
new
building
features
large
expanses
of
glazing
and
light
gray,
precast
concrete
panels
in
both
a
smooth
and
textured
finish
next
slide.
These
are
just
some
streetscape
renderings,
showing
the
views
of
the
building
looking
east
and
west
along
york
street.
F
Next
slide,
there's
two
primary
alterations
to
the
historic
building.
The
first
is
to
remove
and
replace
and
kind
the
brick
infill
walls
on
the
east,
west,
east,
west
and
south
elevation.
The
brick
has
been
assessed
to
be
in
poor
condition,
with
deterioration
spawning
and
staining
noted
throughout.
The
new
bricks
will
match
in
color,
mortar
and
bond
pattern,
and
the
concrete
grid
will
be
conserved
and
repaired
when
necessary,
and
a
fiberglass
reinforced
concrete
panel
will
be
applied
on
top
next
slide.
The
next
alteration
is
to
the
windows,
which
are
primarily
metal,
multi
paint
and
industrial
style.
F
Next,
the
window
pattern
on
the
east
and
west
facade
will
be
configured
you
can
see
here.
The
white
outline
is
the
existing
location
of
the
windows,
and
the
darker
windows
is
what
is
being
proposed.
The
new
pattern
is
complementary
to
the
original
character
and
maintains
the
industrial
feel
of
the
building,
and
the
windows
will
be
replaced
and
kind
here,
as
well
with
metal
windows.
F
I
will
also
note
that
the
applicant
intends
on
applying
for
a
grant
under
the
heritage
community
improvement
program
next
slide,
so
overall
staff
reviewed
the
proposal
and
determined
it
meets
the
guidelines
for
the
byword
market
hcd
and
the
standard
and
guidelines,
because
it
conserves
the
historic
value
of
both
this
significant
historic
building
and
the
bywood
market.
Hcb
next
slide
just
some
renderings.
So
it
meets
the
applicable
heritage
policies
and
is
a
successful
project
because
it
has
a
use
for
the
historic
building
that
requires
minimal
intervention.
F
It
retains
and
restores
this
historical,
this
historic
building
in
its
entirety
and
keeps
it
as
a
focal
point
to
the
development.
The
height
of
the
new
building
is
set
back
from
the
front
facade
to
maintain
the
streetscape
character
of
york
street
and
the
height
transitions
away
from
the
historic
building
and
away
from
the
core
of
the
hcv.
F
Finally,
the
new
building
uses
compatible
materials
and
articulations
at
the
lower
levels
and
then
lighter
materials
on
the
upper
stories,
and
then
the
last
slide
is
just
a
summary
of
the
recommendations.
Staff
are
recommending
approval
of
the
application
with
several
conditions,
including
the
submission
of
a
letter
of
credit,
the
implemented
implementation
of
a
conservation
plan,
submission
of
structural
monitoring
reports
and
submission
of
material
samples,
also
recommending
delegating
authority
for
minor
design
changes
and
issuing
the
heritage
permit
with
a
three-year
expiry
date.
A
Thank
you
ann
for
that
detailed
presentation.
The
subcommittee
did
receive
a
correspondence
from
heritage
ottawa
and
support,
and
we
do
have
a
number
of
registered
speakers
primarily
from
the
application.
The
applicant
team-
and
I
know
that
the
applicant
team
has
requested
a
a
presentation
combining
their
time
to
10
minutes
and
so
I'll
invite
both
carl
bray
and
and
brian
burroughs.
O
Just
while
that's
happening,
I
want
to
compliment
ann
on
her
presentation.
She's
covered
a
lot
of
the
more
detailed
aspects
of
policy
and
compatibility
with
various
aspects
of
the
heritage,
conservation,
district's
plan
and
some
of
the
other
contextual
issues.
But
I
will
be
covering
a
little
bit
of
that
and
also
some
of
the
more
detailed
history
of
the
site
and
how
it
it
fits
within
the
context
of
the
new
development.
B
O
The
intent
of
the
heritage
approach
was
to
make
it
conform,
not
just
to
the
standards
and
guidelines,
as
anna's
pointed
out,
but
also
to
the
notional
policies
and
the
guidelines
of
the
hcd
plan,
and
the
initial
idea
for
the
presentation
for
the
proposal
rather
was
to
conserve
a
portion
of
the
warehouse
over
the
evolution
of
the
design.
Now
the
entire
warehouse
is
being
conserved
next
slide,
please,
and
it's
an
important
property,
as
mentioned.
O
It
was
first
built
in
the
early
20th
century
in
1913,
very
prominent
local
architect,
a
member
of
the
local
committee
working
on
city,
beautiful
ideas.
The
architect
was
really
in
his
prime
when
he
designed
this
building
and
it's
it's
an
interesting
building,
because
it's
got
a
very
public
face
on
york,
street
and
very
modest
and
utilitarian
sides,
and
back
as
you
can
see
in
this
fire
insurance
plan
from
1956.
O
It
is
somewhat
of
an
anomaly
in
a
primarily
residential
district
and
really
the
proposal
is
to
reinstate
that
residential
character
in
the
context
of
conserving
this
building
and
the
little
clip
in
the
bottom
is
a
long
history
of
the
major
family,
quite
fascinating.
They
they
went
forth
and
multiplied.
They
did
all
kinds
of
interesting
things
in
the
ottawa
area
and
certainly
in
lower
town
and
the
widow
of
the
founder
became
one
of
the
most
prominent
business
women
in
canada.
O
O
So
this
is
what
you
see
on
the
on
the
other
sides.
Certainly
the
building
has
been
altered,
particularly
on
the
east
side.
You
can
see
it
in
the
in
the
right
hand,
slide,
and
things
have
happened
to
the
top.
You
have
this
kind
of
creeping
ventilation
equipment
looming
over
the
over
the
top
and
the
back
you've
got
some
changes
to
the
fenestration
pattern.
O
O
The
main
entrance,
of
course
was
for
pedestrians,
but
otherwise
you
had
truck
access
all
the
way
around
and
the
addition
on
the
side
initially
started
out
as
a
garage
then
became
additional
storage
space
for
the
grocery
warehouse,
and
then
you
got
this
brick
edition.
You
see
in
the
top
right
that
had
office
space
and
further
storage,
so
there's
been
an
accumulation
of
additions
on
the
east
side
over
the
years
and
you
can
see
a
little
bit
of
one
of
them
in
the
bottom
right
hand,
corner
sticking
out
the
back.
O
You've
also
had
additions
plopped
on
the
back,
where
there
would
have
been
an
additional
elevator
shaft
and
then,
as
I
say,
those
ventilation
elements
coming
over
the
top
next,
please,
and
it
is
definitely
part
of
the
byward
market
district.
This
view
looks
back
along
york
street
towards
the
market,
even
though
it's
not
in
the
market
proper,
it's
very
close
to
it
and
certainly
was
an
adjunct
functionally
to
what
happened
in
the
market,
because
it
was
a
grocery
warehouse
next,
please.
O
O
A
number
of
things
that
enliven
an
otherwise
very
utilitarian
building
and
on
the
inside
you've
got
this
very
strongly
expressed
structural
grid
with
the
precast
columns
on
standard
centers,
concrete
floors,
concrete
ceilings.
So
it's
a
very
robust
building
and
very
easily
converted
to
other
uses
and,
as
you've
heard,
the
proposed
conversion
is
for
a
hotel.
O
Certainly
there
were
issues
this
building's
over
100
years
old.
It's
been
exposed
to
the
elements.
Needless
to
say,
and
there
were
issues
particularly
at
the
joints,
with
the
concrete
in
the
structural
grid
and
with
the
brick
infill,
so
you've
got
a
situation
here
where,
with
the
structural
grid,
some
of
the
exterior
concrete
has
spalled
off
and
you're
exposing
the
structural
rebar
with
the
brick.
O
In
some
cases,
the
mortar
is
starting
to
deteriorate
or
bricks
have
been
replaced.
So
it's
showing
us
age
on
on
the
sides:
the
windows.
Likewise,
the
windows
are
interesting
because
they
are
metal,
industrial
windows
with
with
hopper
units
but
they're
integral
with
the
structure,
so
they
they
can't
be
easily
removed
because
they're
stuck
into
the
wall
and,
as
you
can
see
in
the
bottom
right,
they
too
have
been
modified
over
the
years.
Some
units
completely
replaced
some
of
them
tinkered
with
so
they're
single
glazed
you've
got
metal,
that's
starting
to
deteriorate.
O
There
are
number
of
issues
with
the
existing
windows,
so
the
intent
is
with
the
masonry
to
as
and
mentioned
to
clad
the
structural
grid
with
panels
that
will
stop
the
deterioration,
but
also
continue
the
appearance
of
the
structural
grid
and
provide
insulation
and
then,
in
terms
of
the
brick
to
replace
the
brick.
That's
deteriorated
with
brick
of
a
similar
type
and
color,
but
providing
a
fully
insulated
wall
section
that
isn't
present
at
the
moment
and
then
with
the
windows
essentially
replicate
using
metal
metal
windows,
but
with
fixed
hopper
units.
O
Again,
windows
meet
current
building
code
fully
insulated
and
within
a
fully
insulated
wall
section.
Next,
please-
and
these
are
just
some
winter
details
you
saw
and
and
some
events
previous
slides,
showing
what
the
new
windows
would
be
like
next,
please
and
then,
as
you
saw
some
of
the
elevations
really.
O
Next,
please-
and
this
is
just
an
indication
of
the
rear,
where
the
rear
elevation
mostly
be
covered
by
the
new
construction,
but
will
be
continuing
the
same
grid
pattern
use
of
brick
and
coloration
as
on
the
other
elevate
elevations.
Next,
please
so
in
its
urban
context,
this
slide
shows
some
of
the
existing
and
proposed
buildings
that
are
indicated
in
the
immediate
area.
O
The
roof
of
the
existing
warehouse
it'll
be
set
back
initially
and
then
stepped
back
from
there,
but
when
viewed
from
the
pedestrian
level,
your
primary
view
will
still
be
of
the
landmark
facade
and
side
elevations
you're,
also
getting
a
thru
block
connection
that
will
allow
pedestrian
access
along
the
side
and
give
again
better
visual
access
to
the
sides
of
the
of
the
warehouse.
Likewise,
with
the
small
restaurant
on
the
other
side,
you'll
get
a
good
view
of
that
side.
Thanks.
O
O
It
remains
a
landmark
and
and
visually
prominent
within
the
hcd
it.
It
is
a
adaptive
reuse
for
a
hotel
in
this
case,
and
it
meets
the
the
various
policy
levels
of
the
pps
op
secondary
plan
and
heritage
conservation,
district
plan
alterations
are
to
the
side
and
rear
are
incompatible.
Materials
and
the
proposed
development
of
adjacent
properties
will
again
focus
views
on
the
main
facade
and
keep
its
landmark
status
next
slide
please.
O
A
Q
A
I
A
A
And
I
don't
see
committee
members,
but
I
do
see
the
ward
counselor
or
our
good
friend,
councillor
fleury,
who
I
think,
made
a
monumentous
announcement
this
morning
which
I'd
like
to
acknowledge
so
before
we
ask
him
to
ask
questions.
I
just
want
to
really
congratulate
him
for
all
the
years
of
service
that
he
has
really
dedicated
to
the
city
and
as
well.
He
he
continues
to
do
that
work.
H
Thank
you
chair
and
thank
you.
Ralston
really
appreciate
it.
I
I'll
certainly
be
vocal,
and
can
you
be
active
till
the
14th
of
november?
Really
I'm
really
excited
about
this
project.
For
a
number
of
reasons,
I
think
it
checks
a
number
of
boxes
and-
and
I'm
I'm
sorry
to
say
for
those
on
the
built
heritage
subcommittee,
you're,
seeing
my
comment
on
the
report
and
not
necessarily
specific
to
the
heritage,
and
I
want
to
apologize
for
that.
H
We
had
assumed
that
both
all
of
those
reports
were
coming
simultaneously,
which
for
timing
purposes
was
not
the
case.
So
I
just
want
to
recognize
that
and
reflect
that
from
a
heritage
point
of
view.
I
do
it's
rare
that
we
go
into
public
meetings
in
the
byward
market
where
there
is
a
heritage
building
involved
and-
and
there
is
so
much
support
from
from
the
community,
particularly
particularly
the
lower
town
community
association.
H
I
believe
and-
and
maybe
staff
can
correct
me-
I
see
hands
on,
but
I
do
believe
that
there
will
be
a
follow-up
proposal
that
will
come
to
build
heritage
not
relating
to
the
major
but
relating
to
the
overlay
for
the
area,
but
and
maybe
I'm
wrong.
If
you
could,
if
you
wouldn't
mind
clarifying
the
the
future
approvals.
F
H
Again,
thank
you
and
again,
chair
and
committee.
I
really
think
it's
a
unique
project.
It's
the
type
of
of
project
that
we
do
need
in
an
area
like
the
byron
market,
mid
block
having
both
accesses
on
york
and
georgia
and
particularly
respecting
the
majora
building.
I
I
know
that
planning
staff
heritage
planning
staff
have
been
quite
engaged
for
years
in
that
area
when
you
think
of
the
the
end
as
the
build-up
to
and
as
and
and
the
most
recent
lpat
decision
at
the
neighboring
property.
H
So
I
want
to
thank,
I
want
to
thank
heritage
staff
for
their
diligence,
and
I
want
to
thank
the
applicant
and
I
do
want
to
put
to
record
it's
fun,
to
see
architecture
from
out
of
town.
I
do
think
that
the
overall
building
does
bring
a
montreal
flair,
which
the
market
will
welcome,
welcomes
with
open
hand,
and
it's
not
a
knock
to
local
architecture.
Don't
get
me
wrong,
but
it
does.
H
It
does
bring
unique
opportunity
for
use
of
materials,
shapes
lighting,
and
so
on
that
that
creates
a
nice,
a
nice
synergy
in
an
area
where
we
will
continue
to
see
increased
density
and
and
where
you
could
take
an
opportunity
to
redevelop
some
of
the
surface
slots
that
that
have
been
on
standing.
Thank
you.
E
This
is
a
big
move.
It's
very
very
welcome.
It's
not
timid.
It's
bold,
and
maybe
the
mercur
architects
are
bringing
some
khutzbah
to
ottawa
that
we
may
sometimes
lack
so
my
compliments
to
them
for
this
and
for
carl
bray's
guidance
in
it,
because
I
know
he
had
a
good
hand
in
it
as
well.
Having
said
that,
I
think
that
questions
that
might
be
asked
on
a
land
use
planning
side
about
the
density
and
height
of
the
of
the
building
on
george
street.
E
This
is
part
of
the
whole
byward
market
heritage,
conservation
plan
and
strategy
to
maintain
the
low
scale
of
the
byrd
market,
heritage,
conservation,
district
and
transfer
the
potential
and
hope
for
intensification
to
the
to
the
eastern
part
of
the
district
that
we're
now
seeing
on
george
street
and
and
cumberland
street,
and
this
brings
the
public.
This
brings
people
living
in
the
byward
market
area
and
will
indirectly
then
support
the
revival
of
the
byward
market,
the
public
realm
plan
and
the
farmer's
base
to
the
market.
E
G
Thank
you,
chair
just
very
quickly
that
barry
said
it
very
eloquently,
so
I
don't.
It
doesn't
bear
repeating
other
than
to
say
that
I
I
fully
support
his
comments
and
to
just
congratulate
the
developer.
The
architects
city
staff,
the
heritage
advisor,
because
this
is
really
exemplary
and
I
think,
a
great
example
of
the
kind
of
intensification
that
we
want
to
see
and
that
that
includes
a
full,
a
full
rehabilitation
of
the
entire
building,
which
is
really
wonderful.
G
A
As
we've
heard.
I
think
that
the
applicant
really
should
be
commended,
as
well
as
the
work
of
city
staff
and
and
other
heritage
consultants.
Who've
really
worked
on
on
this
proposal.
I
think
what's
proposed
here,
is
an
adoptive
reuse
and
which
is
excellent
for
the
site
and
that
seeks
the
preservation
of
the
entire
property,
which
will
incorporate
restoration
work.
That
includes
the
front
decorative
facade
and
portions
of
the
east
and
west
facades,
including
the
terra
cotta
inserts
and
brick
paneling,
as
we
had
heard.
