Lesley Collins, Heritage Planner, provided an overview of the staff report by means of a PowerPoint presentation. A copy of her presentation is held on file with the City Clerk. Committee heard from the following delegations: Ann Hyland, owner of 10 Allan Place, spoke in opposition to the Heritage Conservation District (HCD) as proposed. While she was not opposed to the HCD, she requested revised boundaries for the proposed district, including removal of her property from the proposed HCD. She argued that her small house, designated “non-contributing,” was not a potential threat to the neighbouring Noffke house if not designated. Bill Price* spoke in support of the proposed HCD on behalf of Heritage Ottawa. Mr. Price also spoke as the owner of 54 Glebe Avenue, in support, but supporting a reduced boundary. His detailed comments are included in his written submission, which is held on file. John McLeod,* resident of the Glebe, spoke in support of the proposed HCD, for the reasons outlined in his written submission held on file. He indicated that he would support a compromise if agreed to immediately, but emphasized that there should be no delay. Melissa Viinalaas, 12 Cobalt Avenue, spoke in opposition to the Heritage Conservation District (HCD) as proposed. She requested revised boundaries for the proposed district, including removal of her property from the proposed HCD. She noted that her home did not have a sightline to Central Park, and argued it would not impact the adjacent Noffke-designed house. She did not anticipate changing the character of the house, nor did she anticipate any future owner would do so. Lara Wait,* 93 Glebe Avenue, spoke in opposition to the Heritage Conservation District (HCD) as proposed. She referenced the petition that had been submitted in opposition to the current boundaries, noting that owners of 28 affected properties had signed. She expressed frustration with the process to date, and requested revised boundaries for the proposed district, including removal of her property from the proposed HCD. She suggested that although her home is behind a Noffke-designed, house there are no sightlines to Central Park and thus it does not contribute to the HCD. She argued that the designation of the homes in the “buffer zone” was unfair, and would negatively impact the affected homeowners. Joan Bard Miller, Glebe Community Association* supported the proposed HCD, as outlined in the written presentation held on file. She acknowledged that there was a variety of opinions in the community and concerns about the proposed boundaries. In the interests of finding a consensus solution, she requested on behalf of the association that Committee give further consideration for reduced HCD boundaries based on consistent, heritage-based criteria. John Leaning* spoke in support of the proposed HCD. He gave an overview of some of the history of how the HCD had come to be, and his own involvement in that process. He emphasized the importance of protecting heritage in the Glebe as a whole and this area in particular. He noted the issue had not been resolved eight years after the initial request for action was submitted. With respect to the boundaries, he suggested the line had to be drawn somewhere, and urged the Committee to support the proposal. * Presentation and/or written comments held on file with the City Clerk. Councillor Hobbs moved the following motion on behalf of Councillor Chernushenko, which exempted the following properties from the proposed HCD: 38 Monkland Avenue; 37 Linden Terrace; 93,95,97,99,101,103, 105 and 117 Glebe Avenue; 683,685,697 Bank Street; 550 O’Connor Street; 10 Allan Place and 12 Cobalt Place.

Chiarelli: That the Planning Committee approve the addition of this item for consideration by the Committee at today’s meeting, pursuant to subsection 84(3) of the procedure by-law (Being By-Law No. 2006-462). CARRIED MOTION NO PLC 16/10 Moved by Councillor R. Chiarelli: WHEREAS in May 2007 City Council approved the Graffiti Management Strategy, which identifies the use of murals and art as an effective deterrent; AND WHEREAS the Ottawa West End Community Chaplaincy, a non-profit entity representing 17 places of worship that provide services to the tenants of Morrison Gardens, are planning a mural to be painted on the south wall of a portable that they own which is used by the community; AND WHEREAS the portable is located in Lisa Park which is zoned O1 (open space zone), and is therefore subject to the District 1 regulations of the Permanent Signs on Private Property By-law which do not permit murals in this District; AND WHEREAS prior to amendments to the Permanent Signs on Private Property By-law in 2008 grouping together the zones of the new Comprehensive Zoning By-law under various signs Districts, parks such as Lisa Park were subject to the District 3 regulations which permitted murals; AND WHEREAS the O1 zone for such parks should instead be subject to the District 2 rather than the District 1 sign regulations, consistent with other similar open space zones which are in a District 2, where murals are permitted for institutional uses; AND WHEREAS it is intended to align certain zones under a more appropriate sign District in a report on technical amendments to the Permanent Signs on Private Property By-law in the fall of 2011; THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Permanent Signs on Private Property By-law 2005-439 (as amended) be waived to allow a mural on the portable building located at 6 Lisa Avenue; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT in accordance with By-law 2002-522 (as amended) respecting public notice, and in particular notice for changes to the Permanent Signs on Property By-law; that the notice requirements be waived as the timeline for a decision in order to proceed with this mural during the summer does not make it possible to comply with the notice requirements.
