BACKGROUND

 

Councillor Holmes presented the following motion at the September 25, 2007 meeting of the Planning and Environment Committee.  Pursuant to Section 84 (3) of the Procedure By-law, the Committee added the item and carried the motion.

 

WHEREAS under Fire Marshal’s Order the Ottawa Fire Services has issued an order to remove the five vacant residential buildings at 160 to 170 Cambridge Street North, because they represent a danger to the public;

 

AND WHEREAS such Orders are not associated with the site remediation and interim landscaping conditions that would have been required if these properties had been subject to the Residential Demolition Control Bylaws;

 

AND WHEREAS these properties are located in a low profile residential neighbourhood, where a surface parking lot would be undesirable, and deleterious to the long term redevelopment of this land;

 

BE IT RESOLVED THAT following their demolition, the lands at 160 to 170 Cambridge Street North be graded, sodded or seeded, and bollarded to prevent an illegal parking lot from encroaching upon this residential community.

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

 

There are no direct costs for the City.  The property owner will be responsible for implementing Council’s direction.

 

DISPOSITION

 

Planning, Transit and the Environment Department, Building Services will advise the property owner to ensure Council’s direction is implemented.
