Committee Recommendations as amended
1. That Council approve funding in the amount of
$600,000 to be cost shared on a 50/50 basis with the Province for a West Nile
Virus (WNv) preparedness and prevention plan for the City of Ottawa in 2003,
including:
·
Public education, particularly with
respect to personal protective measures against mosquitoes and source reduction
of mosquito breeding sites.
·
Mosquito, bird, and human
surveillance.
·
Source reduction of mosquito
breeding sites on City-owned properties.
·
Mosquito control using a biological
larvicide (Bti) in surface waters (i.e. ditches, storm water management
ponds) and a chemical larvicide (Methoprene) in non-surface waters (i.e. catch
basins of storm sewers) and in sewage lagoons.
·
Only in circumstances where it is
absolutely necessary and only after consultation with the Mayor and the
Chair of the HRSS Committee, mosquito control using an adulticide (i.e.
Malathion). Adulticide would be indicated in focal geographic areas with
evidence of intense transmission in birds and human disease. The decision to
adulticide rests with the Medical Officer of Health and would depend on updated
risk assessments examining:
a) the level of risk to public health from the
mosquito-borne virus
and
b) the risk to human health of exposure to the
adulticide.
2. That the
Medical Officer of Health provide timely and regular reports to Council on the
status and intended actions regarding the City’s West Nile Virus – Preparedness
and Prevention Plan.
3. That prior
to any application of an adulticide pesticide as part of the City’s West Nile
Virus – Preparedness and Prevention Plan on the direction of the Medical Officer
of Health, the Medical Officer of Health provide 48 hours notice door-to-door
to residents in the targeted area as well as members of Council, such notice to
include the name and formulation of the adulticide pesticide being used.
4. That the
Medical Officer of Health, in consultation with the area physicians and clinics
practising environmental health, develop a voluntary registry of those with
environmental sensitivities (including addresses, telephone numbers and e-mail
addresses where possible), so to ensure that adequate notice is given should
the Medical Officer of Health direct that an adulticide pesticide be applied
within 100 metres in accordance to the City’s West Nile Virus – Preparedness
and Prevention Plan, such notice to include the name and formulation of the
adulticide pesticide.
5. That prior
to any pesticide being used by the City, for any reason, that every effort be
made to obtain a complete formulation of active and inert ingredients so that
the Medical Officer of Health can make an informed decision as to health risks.
Note: “The use of adulticiding is strictly an emergency or
contingency measure when a significant and immediate risk to public health
exists, and all other measures of prevention or control either have been
tried and shown to be inadequate, or would clearly not be effective if
instituted anew.” (West Nile Virus Preparedness and Prevention Plan for
Ontario 2003, Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care).

the retention of school grounds and facilities within the public domain.”
2. in
Human Services Plan, page 41, Action 20., the following wording be added:
“Specifically, in regard to schools, the City will recognize that
schools form part of the building blocks of any community, not only educating
children, but also providing amenity space and resources to the neighbourhood.
When a school is a candidate for closure, the City will work with the school
boards, the community, the private sector and other interested parties to
investigate means to retain the school building for public purposes and the
school ground for open space, either in whole or in part. (Official Plan 2.5.3 Schools and Community
Facilities).”

Section 3.7.2
WHEREAS
Planning and Development Committee has heard from numerous delegations that
Country Lot Subdivisions are an important, desired and necessary housing option
for many residents within the City of Ottawa and are a significant component of
the rural economy;
AND WHEREAS Country Lot Subdivisions are appropriate in
certain circumstances and generally well-suited for properties in rural areas
and can yield environmentally-conscious development designed to preserve the
natural, rural and agricultural character of areas outside of the greenbelt;
AND WHEREAS the following Policy Permitting
Country Lot Subdivisions provides some flexibility to allow a limited number of
country lot subdivisions while preserving sufficient land for future urban and
village boundary expansions;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the following
Policy Permitting Country Lot Subdivisions, be adopted by City Council to amend
Section 3.7.2 of the proposed Official Plan.
Policy
Permitting Country Lot Subdivisions
Amend Section
3.7.2, Policy 3, to add: “or by country
lot subdivision as provided for in policy 5 below.”
Amend Section
3.7.2 to include the following policies after policy 4 and renumber remaining
accordingly:
1.
Country Lot subdivisions will
be considered within the General Rural Area designation subject to the
following criteria. The extent to which
any of these apply will be determined through pre-consultation with the
applicant:
(a)
All development will conform
with the requirements from Section 4 of this plan, including, but not limited
to, protection of vegetative cover, water and wastewater services, erosion
prevention and so on.
(b)
All development will be
evaluated within the context of any existing sub-watershed studies or
groundwater studies approved by the City;
(c)
The minimum lot size shall be
0.8 ha but studies may indicate the requirement for larger lots;
(d)
The maximum size of a country
lot subdivision shall be 40 lots
(e)
Subdivisions may not impede the
ability of Villages and Urban Areas to expand over the planning period, and;
may not locate within 1 kilometre of an approved Urban and Village boundary
(f)
Subdivisions will not create
conflicts with non-residential uses that need to locate in the rural area, and
the proposed location or country lots will be evaluated relative to:
(i)
Agricultural operations and
Agricultural Resource Area designations in the context of the Minimum Distance
Separation guidelines;
(ii)
Mineral operations and Mineral
Resource Area designations;
(iii)
Adjacent non-residential uses
such as rural industrial subdivisions, whose expansion potential may be impeded
by the presence of residential uses;
(iv)
Avoiding locations at existing
or planned interchanges with Highways 7, 416 and 417 which will be better
suited to non-residential uses in the long term.
(g)
Subdivisions will develop where
there is the least impact on municipal operations, and:
(i)
May not have direct access to
an arterial road where there is the possibility of accessing a local road;
(ii)
May not locate where their
construction will require the City to pave or upgrade an existing road;
(iii)
May not require the
construction of a new public road on an unopened road allowance.
(h)
Subdivisions will be planned on
the basis of assessments of sufficient detail to ensure the long term quality
and quantity of the groundwater:
(i)
Development will not be
permitted where studies prepared by the City indicate that the aquifer is
considered to be of high vulnerability to contamination (e.g.-areas of very
thin overburden);
(ii)
All development will be on the
basis of a hydrogeology study and a terrain analysis in accordance with Section
4.4;
(iii)
Information from the
hydrogeology study and terrain analysis will be enhanced through the evaluation
of the performance of private systems in the vicinity and in the same sort of
geology, including drawing from the same aquifer, as the proponent.
2.
The City will monitor the residential
development activity in the rural area on an annual basis to determine if
Villages are remaining as the primary focus of rural development. Based on that assessment, Council may
revisit these policies for Country Lot Subdivisions.

Section 3.7.3.14, Agricultural, Farm Consolidated – Surplus
Dwelling
WHEREAS
at its meeting of April 10, 2003 Planning and Development Committee requested
that the Development Services Department reword the draft Official Plan policy
in Section 3.7.3.14 b), Agricultural Resource Area, Farm Consolidated – Surplus
Dwelling Severance, to provide for a prohibition on any new residence on the
remnant parcel for a period of three years or until a change of ownership
occurs;
WHEREAS it is
not possible to direct zoning to a specific land owner or occupant;
WHEREAS the
intent is to prevent the immediate construction of another dwelling on a
farm lot from which a surplus dwelling was just severed;
WHEREAS there
may in the future be circumstances under which the construction of a further
dwelling can be justified, for example, a son or daughter entering full-time
farming;
THEREFORE BE
IT RESOLVED that Section 3.7.3.14b) be revised to read as follows: “The vacant
agricultural parcel so created be rezoned to prohibit any residential
uses. This housing restriction is
intended to limit a pattern of lot creation in Agricultural Resource Areas that
would see a new residence being constructed on a vacant farm property, the
house being declared surplus and severed from a lot and the pattern so
repeated. However a subsequent rezoning
to allow a new dwelling unit may be permitted subject to agreement by City
Council that a farm related circumstance, such as viability of the farm
operation, clearly warrants it.”
