Zoning by-law amendment proposal: 99-107 Parkdale Avenue

 

WVCA has received notificication of a zoning by-law amendment proposal (proponent is Urbandale Construction) for 99-107 Parkdale Ave. This proposal will be considered by the Planning Committee on Feb 28, 2012.

The preliminary concepts for this site are to develop a 28-storey, 161-unit concominium building with five floors of underground parking. Most notably, the amendment would increase the maximum height from 37m to 85m for the site, reduce the front yard setback from 3m to zero, and the rear yard setback from 7.5m to 3m.

To access all information relating to this proposal, go to ottawa.ca/devapps and input File Number D02-02-11-0108 in the "Search" criteria.

Community Meeting To Discuss Convent Site Plan

From HICG:

As we have previously advised the Community, the Site Plan approval process for the Soeurs de la Visitation Convent site is now underway with comments due from the public by September 5, 2011. Our councillor has confirmed that she is not planning to hold any public meetings in this regard but welcomes direct comments from the community.

Given the complexity of the Site Plan and the questions that many people have with respect to the Plan, the Hampton Iona Community Group has decided that it is important that the community have as much information as possible regarding the site plan, its impact and the approval process.

As such, HICG will be holding a public community meeting to discuss the site Site Plan. The meeting will be held on Tuesday August 30 at 7:00 pm at St. George's Church -Parish Hall (415 Picadilly Avenue).

We have invited representatives from Ashcroft Homes and from the City's Planning Department to attend the meeting and to be available to present the Plan and answer questions. At this time, they have not yet confirmed if they will attend.

As well, we are pleased to advise that Hampton Iona's Planner, Catherine Gravely of Sorensen Gravely Lowes Planning Associates Inc will be attending the meeting. She will be assisting us in our understanding of the plan, the impact on the community and how potential issues that we might have should be addressed. Ms. Gravely will also be available to answer any questions that we might have with respect to our recent OMB challenge and settlement.

If you have any questions about the meeting, please do not hesitate to contact us.

WVCA June meeting

C'mon out and let's continue working hard for Wellington Village!

WVCA response to "Outcry scuttles Byron Linear road"

Dear Ottawa This Week,

The Board of the Wellington Village Community Association (WVCA) feels that the 'Byron Linear Park versus the residents of Shannon Street' reporting on the debate over vehicle access to the Westboro convent redevelopment - as characterized in the May 25 article "Outcry scuttles Byron Linear road" - is both unfortunate and inaccurate.

The opening sentence of the article stated that "The Byron Linear Park has come out on top over the residents of Shannon Street in the debate over vehicle access to the Westboro convent redevelopment."

On the matter of a proposed southern access for the convent property, community members have expressed, at the WVCA Annual General Meeting and through other fora, their concern and sympathy for the plight of Shannon residents as well as their opposition to the proposed cut through the Byron Park.

Community members' clear sentiment is that the interests of local residents and the broader community appear to have carried little weight in decision-making by the city on this issue to this point.

Above all else, the WVCA Board believes that residents should not be pitted one against another in a case where we all have the best interests of the community in mind. We would much prefer to see attention focused on exploring alternative solutions.

WVCA response to May 21 Ottawa Citizen article

Your May 21 article, "No road will cut through Byron linear park"

gives the impression that Councillor Hobbs is withdrawing her support for the Byron cut because she believes that the wider community would prefer to see the park preserved at the expense of the residents of Shannon Avenue. The Board of the Wellington Village Community Association would like to point out that no such view was presented to the Councillor at our Association's annual general meeting on May 17.

At the meeting, WVCA members expressed their concern and sympathy for the plight of Shannon residents as well as an opposition to the proposed cut through the Byron Park, which was sprung on the community with limited notice. Our members also expressed their frustration with the process to date. The clear sentiment was that the interests of local residents and the broader community appear to have carried little weight in decision-making by the City.

Above all else, the WVCA Board believes that residents should not be pitted one against another when we all have the best interests of the community in mind. We would much prefer to see attention focused on exploring alternative solutions that are respectful of local residents and of the Community Design Plans that citizens and the City have invested so heavily in developing - including staff time and taxpayer dollars. In fact, a number of options worthy of further consideration were raised at our meeting.

The WVCA Board agrees with the decision to remove the issue from the May 24 Planning Committee agenda in order to allow for a clear understanding of the facts, the consideration of alternatives and broader community consultation.

THE WELLINGTON VILLAGE COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION BOARD OF DIRECTORS

WVCA response to email sent by Councillor Hobbs re. withdrawal of support for removing access from Shannon

Dear Councillor Hobbs,

The Board of the Wellington Village Community Association would like to correct the misunderstanding of the tone and content of discussion at our May 17 AGM, as characterized by yourself in your below email.

On the matter of a proposed southern access for the convent property, our members expressed their concern and sympathy for the plight of Shannon residents as well as their opposition to the cut through the Byron Park that was sprung on the community with limited notice.

Our members also expressed their frustration with the process characterized by misrepresentation and misinformation that has led us to this point. Their clear sentiment was that the interests of local residents and the broader community appear to have carried little weight in decision-making by the city.

Above all else, the WVCA Board believes that residents should not be pitted one against another in a case where we all have the best interests of the community in mind. We would much prefer to see attention focused on exploring alternative solutions that are respectful of local residents and of the Community Design Plans that citizens and the City have invested so heavily in developing - including staff time and taxpayer dollars. In fact, a number of options worthy of further consideration were raised at our meeting.

The WVCA Board fully concurs with the decision to remove the issue from the May 24 Planning Committee agenda in order to allow for a clear understanding of the facts, the consideration of alternatives and broader community consultation.

Spring Cleaning the Capital

Event Date: April 30, 2011

Event Time: 9 am to 2 pm

Location: Parkdale Market

As part of the City of Ottawa's "Spring Cleaning the Capital" campaign, Wellington West BIA and our community partners, Hintonburg Community Association, Hintonburg Economic Development Committee and Wellington Village Community Association, are getting ready to get-down and clean-up our neighbourhoods!

On Saturday, April 30th, we need everyone's help to clean our parks and streets. At 9 am we will be handing out supplies - craft bags and graffiti removal kits - to participants at Parkdale Market on the north side (on Armstrong). People can work together in teams or go directly to their favourite local spots to pick up the trash and debris accumulated over the winter. Please bring your own gardening gloves if you have them.

By 2 pm, the City of Ottawa's garbage trucks will be coming to pick up all our filled bags at the same location at Parkdale Market. When you drop off your bag, look for the WWBIA table and fill out a ballot to win prizes donated by local Wellington West shops and services. We would like thank everyone who participates and takes care of our public space. We couldn't do it without you!

Hope to see you on Sat April 30! If you have any questions, please call 613 875 2242.

Come to Acorn Rescue and Sapling Give Away

A Distinctive Tree Permit has been issued by the City of Ottawa to fell a healthy, magnificent Champlain Oak (see photo of tree at www.champlainoaks.com). The bur oak is at 115 Northwestern Avenue, the subject of a recent development proposal. Last month, Mr. Sam Falsetto (developer) was blocked by the Committee of Adjustment and the community from building a three-and-a-half story double with in-law suites, rooftop lookouts, and multiple back decks at this site. He has now obtained a building permit for a single dwelling, and a tree cutting permit that was issued April 15.

Because our goal has been to save and celebrate the Champlain Oaks, we are suggesting another way for the community to conserve and give new life to the tree we are about to lose.
