										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>La version française suit</em></p>
<p>For the last six weeks, I&#8217;ve been speaking with many people who were planning to move into the new homes being built at the <a href="http://glengower.ca/tag/5924-hazeldean/">Hazeldean Crossings</a> development. They&#8217;re in an incredibly difficult situation after the builder pulled the plug on the project, with a plan to convert the homes into rental properties instead.</p>
<p>Imagine if your family was set to move into a new home in a new community, only to find out the builder was stopping the project just weeks before you were set to move in. It&#8217;s a stressful, confusing, and gut-wrenching position that dozens of families are now facing.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>What happened<br />
</strong>Hazeldean Crossings is at the corner of Hazeldean and Victor in the Amberway community, and includes over 80 stacked townhomes and back-to-back townhomes. Most home buyers put down deposits for the homes in 2019 and 2020, with closing dates originally scheduled starting in late 2021. The homes are currently under construction.</p>
<p>In January 2022, the buyers received a letter from Doyle Selweski Inc., a licensed Insolvency Trustee, informing them of a &#8220;Notice of Intention to Make a Proposal&#8221; under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act. The owner, Hazeldean Crossing Inc. (Hussein Zayoun, President) did not have enough money to finish the project, citing COVID-19 impacts (lockdowns and supply chain issues), increasing cost of labour and construction material, and the filing of a construction lien against the company as factors.</p>
<p>The home buyers joined together to hire legal representation and negotiate a better settlement deal than the original proposal. On March 24, 2022, creditors accepted a modified creditor proposal that will refund their deposit money in an amount equal to 1.4 times their original deposit, plus legal costs.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>The impact<br />
</strong>The impact is significant on the dozens of families who were planning to move into our community this year. There are a lot of different situations. I&#8217;ve spoken with seniors who were planning to downsize; families who were moving in from out of town; and investors who planned to rent out their units. Although they have their deposit money back, it&#8217;s unlikely to be enough to make a down payment on another property, since the cost of new homes has gone up so dramatically over the past two years. (That&#8217;s even if they could find a home available in the first place!)</p>
<p>There&#8217;s also the current state of the homes under construction. Work has been proceeding, albeit slowly. There is concern from the neighbours in the Amberway community about ongoing safety and disruption from the unfinished work.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>What&#8217;s next<br />
</strong>The owner says that they plan to complete construction later this year, with Phase 1 completed in June, and Phase 2 in September. Once finished, they plan to rent out the townhomes. My focus now is on ensuring that the construction is completed as quickly as possible, and avoid any additional delays or inconveniences to residents.</p>
<p>Under the agreement with creditors, the units must stay as rentals unless there is an &#8220;arms-length&#8221; sale of the property to a new owner. There are no additional approvals required to rent the homes instead of the condo ownership that was previously planned. The City planning process treats owned and rental homes as one and the same.)</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>What can be done in the future to better protect home buyers?<br />
</strong>I&#8217;m sharing this post to help raise awareness for people who may be buying homes from this builder or from any other builder in the future. It&#8217;s rare that this happens, and I want more people to be aware of the risks of buying a new property. I&#8217;ve also reached out to local media to share my concerns and encourage them to bring attention to this situation.</p>
<p>This kind of insolvency doesn&#8217;t happen very often, but when it does, it puts home buyers into a precarious and unfair situation. There&#8217;s just too much of an advantage for developers over buyers, and given the importance of housing, it shouldn&#8217;t just be returned and refunded without recourse.</p>
<p>The provincial government recently announced plans to <a href="https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/ontario-condo-housing-pre-construction-contracts-penalties-1.6395583">strengthen rules and boost penalties on developers who breach the developer code of ethics</a>. This could include fines of over $100,000 and license suspensions up to two years. That&#8217;s a good start, but unfortunately it won&#8217;t be retroactive to help the buyers who have lost their homes in this situation.</p>
<p>The City of Ottawa still holds a significant deposit (securities) from the builder to ensure that construction is completed to the approved plan, including landscaping and fencing and reinstatement of roads/sidewalks that may have been damaged by construction.</p>
<p>This builder has other projects in the City of Ottawa, some in progress and some still in the approval stage. I&#8217;ve asked the City&#8217;s legal team to explore what other municipal, provincial or federal laws that can apply to help protect the buyers of these homes.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>A new construction management plan<br />
</strong>There were problems earlier on with this development in the construction phase, for example contractor parking issues, blasting complaints, and disruptive road closures. After that experience, I decided to pilot a new &#8220;Construction Management Plan&#8221; as part of the site plan approval process. This would require builders to submit their construction plans for review before their project is approved, and enter into an agreement with the City to adhere to these plans.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve made some good progress on this, but unfortunately new provincial legislation announced yesterday will likely weaken the site plan process, and could mean that these construction management plans would be voluntary, rather than a requirement.  It&#8217;s something I&#8217;m continuing to work on with the City&#8217;s planning and legal teams and will continue to push for to protect home buyers and neighbourhoods where infill is happening.</p>
<p>Stay tuned.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Carnet du conseiller : les prochaines étapes du projet d’aménagement Hazeldean Crossings</h2>
<p>Au cours des six dernières semaines, j’ai discuté avec de nombreuses personnes qui prévoyaient d’emménager dans le nouveau complexe résidentiel <a href="http://glengower.ca/tag/5924-hazeldean/">Hazeldean Crossings</a>. Elles se trouvent dans une situation extrêmement difficile maintenant que le constructeur a abandonné le projet et qu’il prévoit de transformer les habitations en logements locatifs.</p>
<p>Imaginez que votre famille se prépare à aller vivre dans son nouveau domicile au sein d’une nouvelle communauté et qu’elle apprend que le constructeur abandonne le projet quelques semaines avant la date d’emménagement prévue. Des dizaines de familles sont aujourd’hui confrontées à cette situation stressante, déroutante et révoltante.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Que s’est-il passé?</strong><br />
Hazeldean Crossings se trouve à l’angle du chemin Hazeldean et de la rue Victor dans le secteur d’Amberway, et comprend plus de 80 habitations en rangée superposées et dos à dos. La plupart des acheteurs ont versé des mises de fonds pour l’achat des maisons en 2019 et 2020, et les dates de conclusion de la vente étaient initialement prévues pour la fin de l’année 2021. Les travaux de construction des unités d’habitation sont en cours.</p>
<p>En janvier 2022, les acheteurs ont reçu une lettre de la part de Doyle Selweski Inc., syndic autorisé en insolvabilité, les informant d’un « Avis d’intention de faire une proposition » en vertu de la <em>Loi sur la faillite et l’insolvabilité</em>. Le propriétaire, Hazeldean Crossing Inc. (Hussein Zayoun, président) n’avait pas suffisamment d’argent pour terminer le projet, citant comme facteurs les effets négatifs de la COVID-19 (mesures de confinement et problèmes de chaîne d’approvisionnement), l’augmentation du coût de la main-d’œuvre et des matériaux de construction, et l’exercice d’un recours contre la compagnie.</p>
<p>Les acheteurs se sont regroupés pour engager une représentation juridique et négocier une meilleure entente que la proposition initiale. Le 24 mars 2022, les créanciers ont accepté une proposition modifiée qui leur remboursera leur mise de fonds à raison d’un montant correspondant à 1,4 fois l’acompte initial, auquel s’ajoutent les frais judiciaires.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Les conséquences</strong><br />
La situation est lourde de conséquences pour les dizaines de familles qui prévoyaient de s’installer dans notre communauté cette année. Les répercussions sont variables. J’ai parlé avec des personnes âgées qui prévoyaient d’emménager dans plus petit, avec des familles qui venaient de l’extérieur de la ville et avec des investisseurs qui prévoyaient de louer leurs logements. Bien qu’ils aient récupéré leur acompte, il est peu probable que cela suffise pour verser une mise de fonds sur une autre propriété, étant donné que le coût des nouvelles maisons a augmenté de façon spectaculaire au cours des deux dernières années. (Et ce, à condition d’avoir réussi à trouver une maison disponible en premier lieu!).</p>
<p>Il y a aussi l’état actuel des habitations en cours de construction. Les travaux ont progressé, bien que lentement. Les voisins du secteur d’Amberway s’inquiètent de la sécurité des lieux et des perturbations causées par les travaux inachevés.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Prochaines étapes</strong><br />
Le propriétaire indique qu’il prévoit d’achever la construction au cours de cette année. La phase 1 devrait prendre fin en juin, et la phase 2, en septembre. Une fois les travaux terminés, il prévoit de louer les habitations en rangée. Mon objectif est maintenant de veiller à ce que les travaux de construction soient achevés le plus rapidement possible et d’éviter tout retard ou désagrément supplémentaire pour les résidents.</p>
<p>En vertu de l’entente conclue avec les créanciers, les unités doivent demeurer des logements locatifs à moins que la vente de la propriété s’effectue « sans lien de dépendance ». Aucune approbation supplémentaire n’est nécessaire pour louer les habitations au lieu de la copropriété prévue à l’origine. (Le processus de planification de la Ville traite les habitations en propriété et en location comme une seule et même chose.)</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Que peut-on faire à l’avenir pour mieux protéger les acheteurs?</strong><br />
Je partage cet article pour sensibiliser les personnes qui considèrent acheter une habitation de ce constructeur ou de tout autre constructeur. Il est rare que cela se produise, et je veux que davantage de personnes soient conscientes des risques liés à l’achat d’une nouvelle propriété. J’ai également contacté les médias locaux pour leur faire part de mes préoccupations et les encourager à attirer l’attention sur cette situation.</p>
<p>Ce type d’insolvabilité ne se produit pas très souvent, mais lorsqu’il survient, il place les acheteurs dans une situation précaire et injuste. Les promoteurs immobiliers sont tout simplement trop avantagés par rapport aux acheteurs. Compte tenu de l’importance du logement, on ne peut pas s’en tenir à un simple remboursement sans autre recours.</p>
<p>Le gouvernement provincial a récemment annoncé son intention de <a href="https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/ontario-condo-housing-pre-construction-contracts-penalties-1.6395583">renforcer les règles et d’augmenter les pénalités imposées aux promoteurs immobiliers qui enfreignent le code d’éthique des promoteurs immobiliers</a>. Cela peut inclure des amendes de plus de 100 000 dollars et des suspensions de permis pouvant aller jusqu’à 2 ans. C’est un bon début, mais malheureusement, cette mesure ne sera pas rétroactive pour aider les acheteurs qui ont perdu leur habitation dans cette situation.</p>
<p>La Ville d’Ottawa détient toujours un acompte important (garanties) de la part du constructeur de bâtiment pour s’assurer que les travaux de construction seront achevés conformément au plan approuvé, y compris l’aménagement paysager et les clôtures, ainsi que la remise en état des routes et des trottoirs qui ont pu être endommagés par les travaux de construction.</p>
<p>Ce constructeur mène d’autres projets dans la Ville d’Ottawa. Certains sont en cours et d’autres sont encore au stade d’approbation. J’ai demandé à l’équipe juridique de la Ville d’examiner les autres lois municipales, provinciales ou fédérales qui peuvent s’appliquer pour aider à protéger les acheteurs de ces habitations.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Un nouveau plan de gestion des travaux de construction</strong><br />
Cet aménagement a connu des problèmes au début de la phase des travaux de construction, par exemple des problèmes de stationnement des entrepreneurs, des plaintes concernant le dynamitage et des perturbations causées par des fermetures de routes. À la suite de cette expérience, j’ai décidé de lancer un projet pilote de nouveau « plan de gestion des travaux de construction » dans le cadre du processus d’approbation du plan d’implantation. Cela obligerait les constructeurs à soumettre leurs plans de travaux de construction pour examen avant que leur projet ne soit approuvé, et à conclure une entente avec la Ville visant à respecter ces plans.</p>
<p>Nous avons bien progressé dans ce domaine, mais malheureusement, les nouvelles mesures législatives provinciales annoncées hier risquent d’affaiblir le processus du plan d’implantation et pourraient signifier que ces plans de gestion des travaux de construction seraient volontaires plutôt qu’obligatoires.  Il s’agit d’un sujet sur lequel je continue à travailler avec les équipes juridiques et de planification de la Ville et je continuerai à exercer des pressions pour protéger les acheteurs de maisons et les quartiers où se déroulent des travaux d’aménagement intercalaire.</p>
<p>Restez à l’affût.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We hosted an information meeting on February 22 about construction activities for the new Hazeldean Crossings development at Hazeldean and Victor. Over 50 residents attended to hear updates and ask questions to the developer and his building team. Here&#8217;s a recap of the information shared.</p>
<p><strong>Key contacts</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>General Concerns about the Hazeldean Crossings Development: <strong>Haya Sleiman</strong> <a href="mailto:haya@hazeldeancrossings.com">haya@hazeldeancrossings.com</a></li>
<li>Blasting concerns: <strong>Explotech</strong> at 613-723-2494 or <a href="mailto:explotech@explotech.com">explotech@explotech.com</a>.</li>
<li>For safety concerns: <strong>City Development Inspector</strong> via 3-1-1 OR <strong>Ministry of Labour</strong> at <a href="tel:+18772020008">Toll-free: 1-877-202-0008</a>.</li>
<li>Noise concerns or construction work outside of allowed hours: City of Ottawa by-law via 3-1-1.</li>
<li>Traffic concerns: City of Ottawa traffic inspector via 3-1-1.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>General Construction Questions</strong></p>
<p><strong>What are the stages of construction? How long will this last?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>There are a few stages of construction including, fence raising, tree clearing, trailer office set up, blasting, excavation for utilities (water, storm, and sanitation), excavation for the building, pouring foundation, and building erection.</li>
<li>These fit into two phases and altogether will last approximately 18 months (starting from February 2021).</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>What are the permitted hours for construction? What if work or noise occurs outside of those hours</strong><strong>?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Under COVID-19 regulations as provided by the Province, work is permitted between 6:00am and 10:00pm. Bylaw officials are the best source of knowledge for this and can be reached via 3-1-1.</li>
<li>If work is continuing outside of these hours, please contact Bylaw officials at 3-1-1.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Where are contractors parking? Are there any restrictions for construction vehicles? Can construction vehicles park on Victor Street?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Contractors have designated parking on site. This may become a challenge as work progresses and more trades begin to arrive.</li>
<li>Construction vehicles may park on Victor, but are subject to the standard 3-hour parking limit. Bylaw can be called at 3-1-1 to investigate infractions.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Who do we contact about safety issues or concerns about the construction?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>As a starting point safety concerns are best directed to the City of Ottawa Development Inspectors via 3-1-1. The Development Inspectors can investigate further and connect with the contractor and developer directly from there.</li>
<li>The Province’s Ministry of Labour Board can also be contacted and asked to look into any safety concerns or issues happening on site at <a href="tel:+18772020008">Toll-free: 1-877-202-0008</a>.</li>
<li><strong>Note: </strong>The Ministry of Labour has already been on site and has approved the safety plan here.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Will there be work on weekends?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Not at the moment. The contractor tries to end early on Fridays to give residents a break from the blasting and hoe ramming work. Once the homes are built and the interior layout work begins, weekend work may be an option depending on the availability of the trades workers.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>How does the City monitor new development sites?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Development Inspectors frequently visit the site both during development and after to ensure that all city standards are met and agreed upon before the official handover to the city takes place. This includes monitoring the maintenance efforts surrounding the work site.</li>
<li>Residents can submit service request via 3-1-1 or online to the Development Inspectors if there are any concerns or inquires that arise during any phase of the construction. Development Inspectors will communicate directly with the contractor/developer to find a solution.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>How are existing utilities being protected?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Before any excavation projects begin the developer/contractor perform locates to know where existing utilities are. Hydrovac services (rather than digging) will be used for extra protection.</li>
<li>If something were to happen during the work where utilities are damaged city development inspectors will investigate, and the developer/contractor will notify residents of any disruptions.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>What access is there to the site? </strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Access to the site at 5924 Hazeldean is located off primarily from Hazeldean road, across from the Ultramar gas station. There is a secondary access route located on Victor, but it is not currently in use.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>How will delivery queues be managed?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Trucks will pull directly into the construction site to drop off materials. No trucks will be lined up along Victor or Denham. Staff on site will assist in managing the volume of vehicles.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>At this time traffic control personnel is note required, but this is being monitored on a daily basis, and will be addressed appropriately as the project moves forward.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>What is the timeline for the sidewalk?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>The sidewalk and final asphalt lifts on Victorwill take place before the end of 2021.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong><u>Blasting Questions</u></strong></p>
<p><strong>What is the expected number of blasts that will occur each day?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Due to blasting being very disruptive to the surrounding community, the contractors/developer are trying to expedite the work here. Blasts per day can range anywhere from 3 to 8, however the aim is between 4 to 5 per day. Any less than this will see a prolonged blasting schedule.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>How long will the blasting last?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Blasting work will last approximately another 3 to 4 weeks.</li>
<li>Blasting work is planned to occur between the hours of 8:00am and 5:00pm, however Provincial regulations under COVID-19 allow for this work to take place between the hours of 6:00am and 22:00 (10:00pm).</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>We were told before that blasting was not required. Why are they allowed to do it now?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Due to the rocky bedding in Stittsville/Kanata, ramming the entire area would take far too long. Both blasting and ramming are equally loud and disruptive and having both on hand will allow the contractor to shorten the length of time needed to get this disruptive work completed.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>What about the blasting warning whistle – it is barely audible?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>The warning whistles meet safety requirements and are set by the blasting companies and cannot be increased in volume. Closed windows and wind directions can greatly decrease the sound levels of the warnings.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Are there requirements to stop traffic when blasting?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>The only time traffic may be stopped is if the blasting was to take place on the City Right of Way.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Are blasting measurements available to the public?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Only the blasting companies have access to this and monitor the data very carefully through ten monitors located along the perimeter of the construction site. The best group to reach out to if there are concerns about blasting levels is Explotech at 613-723-2494 or <a href="mailto:explotech@explotech.com">explotech@explotech.com</a>.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>What is the procedure should a blast go over the limited amount? </strong></p>
<ul>
<li>If two blasts are recorded as going over the limit, then work must stop and be reconfigured. Both the blasting companies and the contractor are monitoring this through 10 different monitor locations along the perimeter of the construction site.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Where attics inspected pre-blast? </strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Attics were not included in the pre-blast surveys; however homeowners are more than welcome to reach out to Explotech to seek out expert opinion and further investigation. Explotech can be reached at 613-723-2494 or <a href="mailto:explotech@explotech.com">explotech@explotech.com</a>.</li>
<li>Your Home insurance provider can also investigate further into any pending damage claims.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Victor Road Closure Questions</strong></p>
<p><em>(<a href="http://glengower.ca/information/partial-closure-of-victor-street-beginning-march-1/">more info here</a>)</em></p>
<p><strong>Why does the road need to be closed on Victor Street?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>To replace old piping, as well as for connection access for the new build.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>What are the dates of the closure?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>The southbound lane will be closed on Victor from Thursday, March 4<sup>rd</sup> to Friday, April 2<sup>nd</sup>, 2021.</li>
<li>The northbound lane will remain open as a one-way connection to access the traffic lights at Victor and Hazeldean.</li>
<li>Savage will be the detour route.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Why can’t they tie in the utilities to Hazeldean / why do they have to tie them in across Victor?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>The City of Ottawa would not permit access to the connections on Hazeldean as it is a main artery roadway, as Victor street has access to the required connections.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Who do we contact if there is a problem with parking or traffic due to the road closure?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Parking Issues: Bylaw via 3-1-1</li>
<li>Traffic Issues: Traffic Management Inspectors via 3-1-1</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Was the closure of Victor in the initial planning proposal documents? Why or why not?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>There is no constructability review required during the site plan application and proposal process, and Traffic Management is not included in this process.</li>
<li>Under the existing process, Traffic Management is only aware of the work by request of a Temporary Construction Encroachment, Road Closure and Road Cut Permit through the Right-of-Way permit office at time of construction. Developers/Contractors are not permitted to apply for these permits until they have their commence work order from site plan approval.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Will there be any changes to Savage Drive while Victor is closed? There is often speeding on the street and there is a curve near Hazeldean Road.</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Savage will be monitored over the first few days of the detour and may see changes pending on traffic flow.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>How will snowplows and garbage trucks access the street during the road closure?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Before the closure can be permitted, the City of Ottawa’s Roads team and Waste Management Team, along with Emergency vehicles must review any road closures to ensure their vehicles can navigate safety.</li>
<li>School buses have also been notified of the road closure.</li>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The first episode of a video series about development and growth in Stittsville. In this episode, we look at the Hazeldean Crossings development at the corner of Hazeldean &amp; Victor that was approved earlier this month by the City’s Planning Committee. The development includes 86 townhomes on the site of an old gas station, and has generated quite a bit of community concern and feedback. Councillor Glen Gower and Véronique Bergeron talk about the planning process and decision-making that goes to development applications.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On Thursday, the City&#8217;s Planning Committee approved a zoning by-law amendment for the proposed Hazeldean Crossings development at <a href="http://glengower.ca/tag/5924-hazeldean/"><strong>5924 and 5938 Hazeldean Road.</strong></a></p>
<p>As residents may be aware, going into the meeting I was generally supportive of the proposed development, but  <a href="http://glengower.ca/development/update-5924-and-5938-hazeldean-road-at-planning-committee-on-may-13/">I had concerns about the potential parking reduction</a> from 91 spaces to 76 spaces. I was prepared to defer the decision unless the parking issue could be resolved.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I voted in favour of this application, knowing that it would not be a popular choice for many neighbours in the Amberway community. But it is the right choice overall for Stittsville.  Here&#8217;s why.</span></p>
<p>The proposed townhome development replaces an empty lot with an abandoned gas station and will be a good addition to the housing mix in Stittsville. Given its proximity to well-established neighbourhoods, this proposal will be far less disruptive to residents than the mixed-use commercial centre previously considered in 2007.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Last fall, this proposal immediately drew the ire of neighbours, primarily on Victor Street. We hosted two information sessions at the Ward office last fall, and then a larger open house with the applicant and City planners. These meetings were packed, and we’ve received dozens of emails from residents. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">I’ve taken the concerns of residents and worked with City planners and the applicant to address these concerns.  For example:</span></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Nearby condo owners in Amberwood wanted a higher setback &#8211; in other words, more space between existing homes and the new townhomes. The applicant agreed to this and made changes.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Victor Street residents were concerned about traffic safety, and the applicant has agreed to fund traffic calming measures.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Residents asked about a secondary entrance on Hazeldean. City transportation planners reviewed this and concluded that it would cause significant safety concerns. Victor Street has the capacity to safely handle the increase in vehicles using the street.</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The last issue to be resolved was parking. The applicant is looking for 1 spot per home, instead of the zoning requirement of 1.2 per home. That’s a difference of 15 spaces.  We heard dozens of comments from residents that there should be enough parking provided for two cars.  </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">On balance, it’s reasonable to allow the request to reduce parking:</span></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">We looked at the numbers. It turns out that not every homeowner in Stittsville owns two cars. There are comparable townhome developments in Stittsville, Kanata and Barrhaven where we are seeing lower car ownership &#8211; one or zero vehicles &#8211; and no significant parking overflow issues.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The applicant is providing more than the minimum visitor parking spaces.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The builder has also agreed to several additional measures to mitigate potential parking issues: bus passes for new residents, securing temporary overflow parking, and including parking restrictions in the purchase &amp; sale documents.</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I talk a lot about healthy development and better transit, and earlier this week <a href="https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/urban-boundary-public-delegations-two-days-1.5566424">our committee talked for 19 hours about this</a> during discussions about our new Official Plan. One way that we’re going to achieve these goals is through careful intensification across the City, including Stittsville. Developments like Hazeldean Crossings on empty lots on Hazeldean Road are exactly how these goals can be achieved. </span></p>
<p>I introduced a motion to confirm the agreements made with the builder to mitigate traffic and parking concerns.  The committee approved the motion with a unanimous 8-0 vote, along with the zoning by-law amendment. The proposal will be considered by City Council on May 27.</p>

<p>A zoning by-law amendment for a proposed development at <a href="http://glengower.ca/development/update-revised-development-application-for-5924-and-5938-hazeldean-road/"><strong>5924 and 5938 Hazeldean Road </strong></a>will be reviewed by the City&#8217;s Planning Committee on <a href="https://ottawa.primegov.com/portal/#/agenda/7890?lang=en">Thursday, May 14.</a></p>
<p>Planning staff are recommending an amendment to permit 76 stacked townhouses and ten back-to-back townhouses. <a href="http://app05.ottawa.ca/sirepub/agdocs.aspx?doctype=agenda&amp;itemid=399309">You can read the report here.</a> If you have comments for the committee, or would like to speak during the committee meeting, please contact Melody Duffenais, committee co-ordinator, at 613-580-2424 x20113 or <a href="mailto:Melody.Duffenais@ottawa.ca">Melody.Duffenais@ottawa.ca</a>.</p>
<p>I disagree with the staff recommendation and I will be seeking deferral until the applicant provides more information about their request for reduced parking.  Here are my comments:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>“The proposed townhome development replaces an empty lot with an abandoned gas station and can be a good addition to the housing mix in Stittsville. The current zoning for the property permits a range of residential, commercial and institutional uses. Given its proximity to well-established neighbourhoods, this proposal will be far less disruptive to residents than the mixed-use commercial centre previously considered in 2007.</em></p>
<p><em>A key concern for neighbouring residents is the proposed reduction in the parking minimum from 1.2 spaces per unit to 1.0 spaces per unit. In practical terms, it means that 76 parking spots are provided rather than the required 91 spaces for 76 townhomes. The applicant says that most buyers won’t need a second parking spot, but their rationale is more wishful thinking than actual market data. We have asked the applicant to supply stronger evidence to support their claim in advance of this report coming to Planning Committee and City Council.</em></p>
<p><em>As an advocate for transit and active transportation, I am eager to see more Stittsville residents using public transit and forgoing a second vehicle, but the current built environment in Stittsville still makes that idea a challenge.</em></p>
<p><em>Someday, this development will be within 1500m of the Hazeldean light rail station – but for now transit service remains poor outside of rush hour. Someday, former rural roads like Johnwoods Street and Sweetnam Drive may be upgraded to urban standards, with curbs and sidewalks – but for now, pedestrians lack a safe north-south route to walk to other parts of the community.</em></p>
<p><em>Someday, it will be easier for residents of this townhome development to get around the community with one – or even zero – vehicles. Until then, the applicant must provide stronger evidence of mitigation measures to reduce spill-over parking on Victor Street.</em></p>
<p><em>For example, a recently approved apartment development at 800 Eagleson included two carshare spaces free of charge, the purchase of the carshare vehicles and relief of the carshare fee for residents of the apartment building. Other builders have included free transit passes as an incentive for residents to reduce car use. We will continue to work with the applicant through the site plan approval process to identify similar measures to alleviate parking overflow in the short term.</em></p>
<p><em>The issue of traffic safety continues to be a concern for nearby residents. The sight line analysis provided in support of this application determined that the visibility on Victor Street meets the safety standard for vehicles driving up to 10km/h above the posted speed limit. The applicant has agreed to include additional traffic calming measures on Victor Street that will be confirmed through the site plan approval process.</em></p>
<p><em>Neighbours on Victor Street also wanted a second exit to the planned development on Hazeldean Road. I asked the City to review this option and it was not supported by traffic engineers due to the traffic volume on Hazeldean Road and the potential safety hazard for turning vehicles.</em></p>
<p><em>I am generally supportive of this proposed zoning by-law amendment but want to see the issues outlined above more fully addressed.”</em></p></blockquote>

<h2>Compte rendu : Complexe du 5924 et du 5938, chemin Hazeldean &#8211; Comité de l’urbanisme, séance du 13 mai 2020</h2>
<p>Le Comité de l’urbanisme de la Ville se penchera, à sa séance du <a href="https://ottawa.primegov.com/portal/#/agenda/7890?lang=en">mercredi 13 mai 2020</a>, sur la modification du <em>Règlement de zonage </em>pour le complexe que l’on propose d’aménager aux <a href="http://glengower.ca/development/update-revised-development-application-for-5924-and-5938-hazeldean-road/"><strong>5924 et 5938, chemin Hazeldean</strong></a>.</p>
<p>Le personnel des Services de planification recommande d’adopter cette modification pour permettre d’aménager 76 habitations en rangée superposées et 10 habitations en rangée adossées. <a href="http://app05.ottawa.ca/sirepub/agdocs.aspx?doctype=agenda&amp;itemid=399309">Vous pouvez prendre connaissance du rapport en cliquant sur ce lien.</a> Si vous avez des commentaires à adresser au Comité ou que vous souhaitez vous exprimer pendant la séance du Comité, veuillez communiquer avec Melody Duffenais, coordonnatrice du Comité, par téléphone (613-580-2424, poste 20113) ou par courriel (<a href="mailto:Melody.Duffenais@ottawa.ca">Melody.Duffenais@ottawa.ca</a>).</p>
<p>Je ne suis pas d’accord avec la recommandation du personnel et je demanderai de reporter la décision jusqu’à ce que le requérant dépose un complément d’information sur sa demande de réduction du nombre de places de stationnement. Voici mes commentaires :</p>
<blockquote><p><em>« Le complexe d’habitations en rangée proposé, qui remplace un terrain vague sur lequel se trouve une station‑service abandonnée, peut rehausser l’éventail des habitations de Stittsville. Le zonage actuel de la propriété permet d’aménager différents bâtiments résidentiels, commerciaux et institutionnels. Puisqu’il sera aménagé non loin de quartiers bien établis, le complexe proposé sera beaucoup moins incommodant pour les résidents que le centre commercial polyvalent envisagé auparavant en 2007.</em></p>
<p><em>« Les résidents voisins s’inquiètent essentiellement de la réduction proposée du nombre minimum de places de stationnement, qui passe de 1,2 à 1 place par habitation. Dans la pratique, on aménagera 76 places de stationnement, plutôt que le nombre obligatoire de 91 places pour 76 habitations en rangée. Le requérant affirme que la plupart des acheteurs n’auront pas besoin de deuxième place de stationnement; or, sa justification relève plus du vœu pieux que des données réelles du marché. Nous avons demandé au requérant de mieux justifier son affirmation en prévision du dépôt de ce rapport auprès du Comité de l’urbanisme et du Conseil municipal.</em></p>
<p><em>« En tant que militante pour la cause des transports en commun et du transport actif, j’ai hâte que les résidents de Stittsville soient plus nombreux à utiliser les transports en commun et à renoncer à une deuxième voiture; or, en raison de l’environnement bâti de Stittsville à l’heure actuelle, cette idée est toujours difficilement réalisable.</em></p>
<p><em>« Un jour, ce complexe se trouvera à moins de 1 500 mètres de la station Hazeldean du TLR, mais pour l’heure, le service de transport en commun reste insatisfaisant hors des heures de pointe. Un jour, les anciennes routes rurales comme la rue Johnwoods et la promenade Sweetnam pourront être réaménagées selon les normes urbaines et être dotées de bordures de rue et de trottoirs. Mais pour l’instant, les piétons n’ont pas de voie nord‑sud sécuritaire pour se rendre dans d’autres secteurs de la collectivité.</em></p>
<p><em>« Un jour, il sera plus facile, pour les résidents de ce complexe d’habitations en rangée, de se déplacer dans la collectivité au moyen d’une seule voiture – ou même sans voiture. Jusqu’alors, le requérant doit mieux justifier les mesures d’atténuation pour réduire le débordement du stationnement sur la rue Victor.</em></p>
<p><em>« Par exemple, pour un immeuble d’appartements approuvé récemment au 800, chemin Eagleson, on avait prévu d’aménager deux places de stationnement gratuites</em><em>pour l’autopartage, d’acheter des véhicules en autopartage et d’alléger les frais d’autopartage pour les résidents de cet immeuble. D’autres constructeurs offrent des laissez‑passer gratuits dans les transports en commun pour inciter les résidents à moins se servir de leur voiture. Nous continuerons de travailler en collaboration avec le requérant, dans le cadre du processus d’approbation du plan d’implantation, pour cerner les mesures comparables qui permettraient d’alléger à court terme le surencombrement du stationnement.</em></p>
<p><em>« La question de la sécurité automobile continue de préoccuper les résidents du voisinage. L’analyse de la ligne de visibilité déposée à l’appui de cette demande a permis d’établir que la visibilité sur la rue Victor respecte la norme de sécurité des véhicules dont la vitesse peut atteindre 10 km/h de plus que la limite de vitesse affichée. Le requérant est d’accord pour prévoir, sur la rue Victor, d’autres dispositifs de modération de la circulation, qui seront confirmés dans le cadre de l’approbation du plan d’implantation.</em></p>
<p><em>« Les voisins qui habitent sur la rue Victor souhaitaient aussi que l’on aménage, dans le complexe planifié, une deuxième sortie donnant sur le chemin Hazeldean.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The City has received a resubmission of the site plan and zoning application for <a href="http://glengower.ca/development/update-revised-development-application-for-5924-and-5938-hazeldean-road/"><strong>5924 and 5938 Hazeldean Road. </strong></a>The applicant wants to build townhomes at the corner of Hazeldean and Victor Street.</p>
<p><a href="https://app01.ottawa.ca/postingplans/appDetails.jsf?lang=en&amp;appId=__BIK2FK">Plans, studies, and reports from the resubmission are available here&#8230;</a></p>
<p>Planning staff have provided a summary of major changes in this resubmission, including:</p>
<ul>
<li>The Hazeldean façade has been modified to include a full brick exterior instead of the previously proposed hardie board panels with brick. A stronger base level articulation is introduced using double monarch oversized brick. New lintel beams are added above the windows to provide a more traditional expression. Additional brick patterns and vertical features are also proposed along Hazeldean to provide visual interest.</li>
<li><a href="http://glengower.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Hazeldean-Entrance-Letter.pdf">A letter is submitted to address the potential for an additional entrance along Hazeldean Road.</a> The conclusion is that a single access on Victor is enough to accommodate the traffic volume associated with this development. The access along major arterial roadway is avoided where possible due to potential safety concern associated with potential conflicts with high volume Hazeldean traffic. There is also a two-way left-turn lane along the centre of the Hazeldean Road in front of the site, which could result in potential unsafe left turn movement in and out of the site. This has been reviewed by the City’s senior transportation project manager and is deemed acceptable.</li>
<li><a href="http://glengower.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Sight-Lines-Letter.pdf">An updated sight line letter was also submitted using a 45-metre stopping sight distance on Victor Street. </a> The engineer who studied the sight lines concluded that the sight distance along Victor Street for the entrance to the development and the 4 driveways conforms to the Transportation Association of Canada design guide for Canadian roads. This has been reviewed by the City’s senior transportation project manager and is deemed acceptable. To mitigate the speeding issue along Victor Street, traffic calming measurement through curb extension will be introduced at the Victor and Hazeldean intersection. This is currently being reviewed by the City’s transportation team.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>What&#8217;s next:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>This development proposal has <strong>not yet been approved</strong>.</li>
<li><span style="font-size: 14px;">I will be reviewing the resubmission documents with my team in the coming days to ensure that community concerns around traffic safety, parking, and other community impacts have been addressed.</span></li>
<li>Planning staff are preparing a report on the proposed zoning change that would go to the City&#8217;s Planning Committee. (Date to be determined.)</li>
<li><span style="font-size: 14px;">If you have questions or concerns, you can </span><a style="font-size: 14px;" href="http://glengower.ca/contact/">contact me</a><span style="font-size: 14px;"> or the planner on this file, </span><a style="font-size: 14px;" href="mailto:stream.shen@ottawa.ca">Stream Shen</a><span style="font-size: 14px;">.</span></li>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>La version française suit</em></p>
<p>Last week the city received a revised site plan and zoning application for <a href="http://glengower.ca/tag/5924-hazeldean/"><strong>5924 and 5938 Hazeldean Road</strong></a>, which includes a housing development at the corner of Victor Street where the old gas station is currently located.</p>
<p>I want to make it clear that this development proposal has <strong><em>not</em> been approved</strong>. There are still issues that need to be addressed in response to neighbourhood concerns. I&#8217;ve included below an email update that was sent out by the City planner to residents earlier this week, but I also wanted to weigh in with my initial thoughts on this updated proposal.</p>
<p><strong>The good:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: 14px;">I do think this site is an ideal spot for new homes. The current zoning on the property allows for a wide range of uses, including commercial and residential. In this case, a residential development will have far less impact on neighbouring residents than the originally-proposed retail plan. </span></li>
<li>The developer has made some minor changes in the resubmission based on resident feedback, including a larger setback on the west side of the property in response to concerns from the neighbouring condo development.</li>
<li>The developer has also agreed to provide traffic calming measures to mitigate safety issues on Victor street.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Outstanding issues:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>I&#8217;ve asked City planners and the developer to provide more information about the feasibility of an alternate entrance onto Hazeldean Road.</li>
<li>I&#8217;ve asked the developer to take a serious look at the impact from overflow parking on Victor Street and Denham Way. I&#8217;m not convinced that there are enough parking spaces in the proposed development and I want to see more from the builder to address this concern.</li>
</ul>
<p>In short, while the developer has made minimal changes, the two main concerns of residents &#8212; overflow street parking and the single exit on Victor street &#8212; were not addressed. Not only that, but they continue to aggressively market these new homes as if they have already been approved. They are certainly allowed to do that, but it does nothing to foster co-operation or trust with residents and is tone-deaf to the concerns of the community.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve shared this feedback with the builder and with planning staff and will continue to work with both of them to push for a better outcome.</p>
<p>Thank you to residents who have reached out to our office with questions or comments. <a href="http://glengower.ca/contact/">Please contact me with your feedback.</a></p>
<hr />
<p><em><strong>Email from City Planner Stream Shen:</strong></em></p>
<p>The City has received a 2<sup>nd</sup> submission for the above applications and you can find all the submission materials in the link below.</p>
<p><a href="https://app01.ottawa.ca/postingplans/appDetails.jsf?lang=en&amp;appId=__BIK2P2">https://app01.ottawa.ca/postingplans/appDetails.jsf?lang=en&amp;appId=__BIK2P2</a></p>
<p>The new plans and studies are labeled: <strong>2019-12-05 STUDY NAME D07-12-19-0089</strong></p>
<p>After preliminary review, here are the applicant made from the 1<sup>st</sup> submission:</p>
<ul>
<li>Increase in westerly yard setback from 3m to more than 4.5m</li>
<li>Moving the garbage area away from the southerly property line</li>
<li>Increasing the visitor parking space from 15 to 16 spaces for the stacked townhomes</li>
<li>Increasing the bicycle parking spaces to 44 spaces, whereas the minimum requirement according to the Zoning By-law is 38 spaces</li>
</ul>
<p>Please also find below some commonly asked questions and responses:</p>
<p><strong>Question 1:</strong> Does the site require more than one access to accommodate emergency vehicles?<br />
<strong>Response:</strong> Ottawa Fire Serviced and the City’s Building Code staff confirmed that only one entrance is required under the Ontario Building Code.</p>
<p><strong>Question 2</strong>: Concerned about the Victor Road alignment and the “blind spot” it creates as vehicle travels down Victor and Denham.<br />
<strong>Response:</strong> The applicant provided a “Sightline Line Analysis – Victor Street” (attached). City’s transportation staff is currently reviewing the analysis.</p>
<p><strong>Question 3:</strong> Concerned about the capacity of Victor Street and the Victor and Hazeldean intersection in handling the additional traffic.<br />
<strong>Response:</strong> Based on the “Transportation Impact Assessment” (attached) submitted by the applicant, in the AM peak hours, the development is proposed to generate 38 vehicle trips and during the PM peak hours, also 38 vehicle trips.  The Hazeldean and Victor intersection is projected to operate within its capacity and under the same level of service as prior to the development. The report has been reviewed and approved by the City’s transportation staff.</p>
<p><strong>Question 4:</strong> Concerned about the reduction in vehicle parking spaces for the stacked townhome units from 1.2 spaces per unit to 1 space per unit.<br />
<strong>Response:</strong> The applicant provided additional rationale in the “Planning Rationale” starting on page 20, Section 4.4. City staff is currently reviewing the rationale.</p>
<p><strong>Question 5:</strong> Concerned about blasting and foundation damage to adjacent homes.|<br />
<strong>Response:</strong> If the proposal is approved and blasting is required, a pre-blast survey for adjacent homes will be a condition of approval. If any damages were to occur, the homeowner is asked to contact their home insurance provider and they will reach out to the developer for compensation. In conversation with the developer, the proposed amount of rock removal has been reduced from the previous proposal and it may be accomplished through hoe-ramming rock excavation technical with limited or no blasting. City staff is currently reviewing the proposed civil plans and studies.</p>
<p><strong>Question 6:</strong> Concerned about light spillage onto adjacent homes.<br />
<strong>Response:</strong> A site lighting plan and certificate has been provided by the applicant and confirms that there will be minimal spillage onto adjacent properties and will consist of sharp cut-off.</p>
<p><strong>Question 7:</strong> Where will snow be piled?<br />
<strong>Response:</strong> Snow is planned to be trucked off-site.</p>

<h2>Mise à jour : demande d’aménagement révisée pour les 5924 et 5938, chemin Hazeldean</h2>
<p>La semaine dernière, la Ville a reçu une nouvelle version du plan d’implantation et de la demande de modification du zonage pour les <a href="http://glengower.ca/tag/5924-hazeldean/"><strong>5924 et 5938, chemin Hazeldean</strong></a>, qui comprend un aménagement résidentiel au coin de la rue Victor, à l’endroit où se trouve actuellement l’ancienne station-service.</p>
<p>Je tiens à ce que ce soit clair : la demande d’aménagement <strong>n’a</strong><strong><em>pas</em>été approuvée</strong>. Il reste encore des problèmes à résoudre pour répondre aux préoccupations soulevées par les résidents du quartier. Vous trouverez à la fin de ce billet le courriel de mise à jour envoyé par l’urbaniste de la Ville aux résidents, mais je voulais aussi vous livrer mes premières impressions quant à la nouvelle proposition.</p>
<p><strong>Points positifs</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Je crois que le site est idéal pour la construction de logements. Le zonage actuel autorise une vaste gamme d’utilisations, dont des aménagements commerciaux et résidentiels. Qui plus est, les effets de ce projet sur les résidents du secteur seront bien moindres que ceux de l’aménagement commercial proposé au départ.</li>
<li>Le promoteur a légèrement modifié sa proposition d’après les commentaires des résidents, en augmentant notamment la taille du retrait situé du côté ouest de la propriété pour répondre aux préoccupations des résidents des copropriétés voisines.</li>
<li>Le promoteur a aussi accepté de fournir des mesures de modération de la circulation afin d’accroître la sécurité sur la rue Victor.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Points non résolus</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>J’ai demandé aux urbanistes de la Ville et au promoteur de me fournir plus d’information sur la possibilité d’aménager l’entrée sur le chemin Hazeldean.</li>
<li>J’ai demandé au promoteur d’examiner de près l’incidence qu’auront les places de stationnement supplémentaires sur la rue Victor et la voie Je doute qu’on ait prévu suffisamment de places dans la forme actuelle du projet, et j’aimerais que le constructeur s’y intéresse davantage.</li>
</ul>
<p>Bref, même si le promoteur a apporté quelques petits changements, il n’a rien fait concernant les deux grandes préoccupations des résidents, soit les places de stationnement sur rue supplémentaires et l’aménagement de l’unique entrée sur la rue Victor. Sans compter qu’il continue de promouvoir énergiquement ces nouvelles propriétés, comme si le projet était déjà approuvé. Certes, rien ne lui interdit de le faire, mais ce n’est pas ce qui va favoriser la coopération et la confiance des résidents ni montrer qu’il est à l’écoute des préoccupations de la communauté.</p>
<p>J’ai relayé ces commentaires au constructeur et au personnel de la planification de la Ville, et continuerai à collaborer avec eux pour arriver à un résultat plus satisfaisant. J’en profite pour remercier les résidents qui ont transmis leurs questions et leurs commentaires à mon équipe. <a href="http://glengower.ca/contact/">Je vous invite à me donner votre avis.</a></p>
<hr />
<p><strong><em>Courriel de l’urbaniste Stream Shen</em></strong></p>
<p>La Ville a reçu une nouvelle version des demandes ci-dessus. Cliquez sur le lien suivant pour consulter les documents qui s’y rapportent.</p>
<p><a href="https://app01.ottawa.ca/postingplans/appDetails.jsf?lang=fr&amp;appId=__BIK2P2">https://app01.ottawa.ca/postingplans/appDetails.jsf?lang=fr&amp;appId=__BIK2P2</a></p>
<p>Les nouveaux plans et les nouvelles études sont étiquetés comme suit : <strong>2019-12-05 NOM DE L’ÉTUDE D07-12-19-0089</strong>. Après examen, voici les modifications apportées par le demandeur depuis la première version :</p>
<ul>
<li>Augmenter le retrait de cour à l’ouest de 3 mètres à plus de 4,5 mètres.</li>
<li>Éloigner la zone réservée aux poubelles de la limite de propriété sud.</li>
<li>Augmenter le nombre de places de stationnement pour les visiteurs de 15 à 16 pour les logements superposés en rangée.</li>
<li>Faire passer le nombre de places de stationnement pour bicyclettes à 44, alors que le <em>Règlement de zonage</em>en exige seulement 38.</li>
</ul>
<p>Voici les réponses à quelques questions fréquentes :</p>
<p><strong>Question 1 :</strong>Doit-il y avoir plus d’un accès au site pour les véhicules d’urgence?</p>
<p><strong>Réponse :</strong>Le Service des incendies et le personnel des Services du Code du bâtiment ont confirmé qu’un seul accès était nécessaire en vertu du Code du bâtiment de l’Ontario.</p>
<p><strong>Question 2 :</strong>Le tracé de la rue Victor n’est pas satisfaisant, il pourrait créer un « angle mort » pour les véhicules circulant sur la rue Victor et la voie Denham.</p>
<p><strong>Réponse :</strong>Le demandeur a fourni le document « Sight Lines Analysis – Victor Street » (ci-joint). Le personnel des transports examine actuellement cette analyse.</p>
<p><strong>Question 3 :</strong>Je me demande si la rue Victor et l’intersection de la rue Victor et du chemin Hazeldean pourront accueillir des véhicules supplémentaires.</p>
<p><strong>Réponse :</strong>Selon le document « Transportation Impact Assessment » (ci-joint) déposé par le demandeur, l’aménagement devrait générer 38 déplacements en véhicule à l’heure de pointe de l’avant-midi, et 38 à l’heure de pointe de l’après-midi. On prévoit donc que l’intersection de la rue Victor et du chemin Hazeldean n’excédera pas sa capacité, et que son niveau de service demeurera inchangé. Le rapport a été examiné et approuvé par l’équipe des transports de la Ville.</p>
<p><strong>Question 4 : </strong>J’ai des réserves quant à la diminution du nombre de places de stationnement pour les logements superposés en rangée de 1,2 place à 1.</p>
<p><strong>Réponse : </strong>Le demandeur a fourni des explications supplémentaires dans le document « Planning Rationale », à partir de la page 20 de la section 4.4. Le personnel municipal étudie actuellement la justification.</p>
<p><strong>Question 5 :</strong>Les travaux de dynamitage ne risquent-ils pas de causer des dommages aux fondations des résidences situées à proximité?</p>
<p><strong>Réponse : </strong>Si la proposition est approuvée et que des travaux de dynamitage sont nécessaires, leur autorisation sera conditionnelle à la réalisation d’une inspection prédynamitage des résidences adjacentes au site. S’il devait y avoir des dommages, le propriétaire serait invité à communiquer avec son fournisseur d’assurance habitation, qui se chargera d’obtenir compensation auprès du promoteur. Après des discussions avec le promoteur, la quantité de roc à extraire a été diminuée par rapport à la proposition précédente, et on envisage le recours à des techniques de purgeage et d’excavation, qui nécessitent peu ou pas de dynamitage. Le personnel de la Ville examine actuellement les études et les plans civils proposés.</p>
<p><strong>Question 6 :</strong>Qu’en est-il de la diffusion de lumière sur les propriétés adjacentes?</p>
<p><strong>Réponse :</strong>Le promoteur a présenté un plan et un certificat d’éclairage du site, et confirme que la diffusion de lumière sur les résidences voisines sera négligeable, grâce à des luminaires à défilement absolu.</p>
<p><strong>Question 7 :</strong>À quel endroit la neige sera-t-elle empilée?</p>
<p><strong>Réponse :</strong>On prévoit la transporter par camion ailleurs.</p>

<p>Plus tôt en août, la Ville a reçu une demande d’aménagement pour les 5924 et 5938, chemin Hazeldean, à l’intersection de la rue Victor.</p>
<p>Les résidents ont depuis soulevé bon nombre de questions et de préoccupations à ce sujet; nous tenons donc à donner à tous la chance de s’exprimer.</p>
<p>Dans cette optique, nous serons disponible pour rencontrer les résidents individuellement :</p>
<ul>
<li>le mercredi 4 septembre, de 18 h 30 à 20 h;</li>
<li>le samedi 7 septembre, de 15 h à 16 h 30.</li>
</ul>
<p>Lieu : Bureau de quartier au Complexe récréatif CARDELREC Goulbourn (1500, chemin Shea)</p>
<p>Il n’est pas nécessaire de prendre rendez-vous. Nous noterons tous vos commentaires et tâcherons de les transmettre aux urbanistes de la Ville. Si vous n’êtes disponible à aucune de ces dates, envoyez vos questions ou commentaires par courriel à Stream Shen, urbaniste (<a href="mailto:Shenstream.shen@ottawa.ca">stream.shen@ottawa.ca</a>), ou à <a href="mailto:glen.gower@ottawa.ca">glen.gower@ottawa.ca.</a></p>
<p>La demande en est encore à l’étape de la proposition; l’échéance pour les premiers commentaires du public est le 9 septembre. Les urbanistes de la Ville tiendront compte de l’ensemble des questions et commentaires reçus, et collaboreront avec le promoteur pour régler les éventuels problèmes. Il reste plusieurs points à étudier avant que la Ville puisse envisager d’approuver la demande.</p>
<p>Nous tiendrons aussi une séance portes ouvertes officielle à l’automne, une fois que les urbanistes auront pris connaissance des premiers commentaires. La date sera annoncée prochainement.</p>

<p>(le français suit)</p>
<p>The City has received a new development application for the lots located at <strong>5924 and 5938 Hazeldean Road</strong>. These properties are on the corner of Hazeldean and Victor street and include a vacant lot and the property with the vacant gas station. The applicant proposes to build a planned unit development with 76 stacked townhouses and 10 back-to-back townhomes.</p>
<p>In order to proceed with this development, the applicant must first obtain a zoning by-law amendment to rezone 5924 Hazeldean from General Mixed-Use (GM) to Residential Fourth Density. While residential development is allowed in a GM zone, this zoning by-law amendment would make the zoning consistent across both lots owned by the applicant.</p>
<p>Access to the development will be provided by one entrance off Victor street. A landscape buffer will be provided along Hazeldean and along Victor and a new fence will be installed between the new homes and existing residences on Grand Harbour. 31 new trees are proposed with this development.</p>
<p>You can access plans and studies submitted by the applicant in support of this project online by visiting DevApps: <a href="https://app01.ottawa.ca/postingplans/appDetails.jsf?lang=en&amp;appId=__BIK2P2">https://app01.ottawa.ca/postingplans/appDetails.jsf?lang=en&amp;appId=__BIK2P2</a></p>

<h2>Demande d’aménagement visant des terrains sur le chemin Hazeldean au coin de la rue Victor</h2>
<p>La Ville a reçu une demande d’aménagement pour les lots situés aux 5924 et 5938, chemin Hazeldean, au coin de la rue Victor. Ces lots comprennent un terrain vague et une ancienne station-service. Le requérant propose d’y construire un complexe immobilier de 76 maisons superposées en rangée et de 10 maisons en rangée dos à dos.</p>
<p>Avant d’aller de l’avant, il doit d’abord faire approuver une modification du <em>Règlement de zonage</em>pour faire passer le zonage du 5924, chemin Hazeldean de zone polyvalente générale (GM) à zone résidentielle de densité 4. Les aménagements résidentiels sont autorisés dans les zones GM, mais cette modification viendrait uniformiser le zonage des deux lots.</p>
<p>Le projet d’aménagement prévoit une voie d’accès sur la rue Victor, une zone tampon paysagère le long du chemin Hazeldean et de la rue Victor et une nouvelle clôture entre les maisons proposées et celles de la cour Grand Harbour. Le requérant propose aussi de planter 31 arbres.</p>
<p>Vous trouverez les plans et les études soumises par le requérant à l’appui du projet dans l’outil de recherche en ligne de demandes d’aménagement : <a href="https://app01.ottawa.ca/postingplans/appDetails.jsf?lang=fr&amp;appId=__BIK2P2">https://app01.ottawa.ca/postingplans/home.jsf?lang=fr&amp;appId=__BIK2P2</a>.</p>
