And something that, you 55 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:21,440 know, we don't often worry too much 56 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:23,040 about in Brockville because of the large 57 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:25,280 water source that we have in the St. 58 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,400 Lawrence River is conservation. but we 59 00:04:25,280 --> 00:04:29,919 still have to put it through our 60 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:31,759 distribution center system.

It means um 67 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:49,840 delaying uh uh lawn watering and pool 68 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:52,720 filling certainly until um off uh peak 69 00:04:49,840 --> 00:04:54,880 hours. and um you know things like 70 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,400 running the dishwasher and that uh if 71 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,880 you would do that in the evening when 72 00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:00,400 there's less demand for water that will 73 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,560 help us get through and make sure that 74 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:05,199 there's a stable source of water um 75 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:08,800 during this during this time that the um 76 00:05:05,199 --> 00:05:11,600 tower is being worked on. We heard um at 77 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:13,440 our uh general committee about the 78 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:16,240 brothel art center being in need of 79 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:17,759 volunteers uh in the last week.

If you're going 97 00:05:55,840 --> 00:06:01,440 downtown, that's probably the natural 98 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:04,560 route.

Um we won't go through 938 00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:28,240 the official plan itself because it it 939 00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:32,960 remained the same except for the angular 940 00:35:28,240 --> 00:35:35,440 plane um which the details itself 941 00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:38,400 I'll get into with the zoning part. So, 942 00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:41,440 the original zoning request that did go 943 00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:43,359 through to the public meeting uh was to 944 00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:46,880 reszone the property to allow a 945 00:35:43,359 --> 00:35:49,599 six-story building containing 946 00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:51,760 approximately 140 residential units with 947 00:35:49,599 --> 00:35:53,280 commercial on the ground floor. Uh the 948 00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:55,920 reason why we required a zoning 949 00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:58,320 amendment is we don't allow residential 950 00:35:55,920 --> 00:36:00,400 on the main floor.

So, the request is actually 9.8 999 00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:05,520 from 10.8 or 10.2, sorry, rather than 1000 00:38:02,720 --> 00:38:10,079 down to 1.8. So, the increase to the 1001 00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:10,079 rear yard is from Water Street. 1002 00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:16,480 Uh the increase to the angular plane was 1003 00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:18,880 45 degrees to 53 degrees at Home Street. 1004 00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:20,880 Uh as explained last week and through 1005 00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:23,760 the report under the recommendation, it 1006 00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:25,520 was actually taken at the wrong spot. So 1007 00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:28,160 our angular plane requirement is the 1008 00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:30,240 entire facade of the building. The 1009 00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:32,800 angular plane number was taken at King 1010 00:38:30,240 --> 00:38:36,160 and Home and should have been taken at 1011 00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:40,160 the south end of home. the number 1012 00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:42,160 changed from 53 to 59 degrees. 1013 00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:43,680 Um staff did explain though that we 1014 00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:45,599 don't believe a recirculation's 1015 00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:48,079 required. The concept that was seen at 1016 00:38:45,599 --> 00:38:50,880 the public meeting did not change other 1017 00:38:48,079 --> 00:38:52,560 than actually increasing the rear yard. 1018 00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:55,119 So the angular plane actually is a 1019 00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:56,800 little less than 59. Uh we didn't 1020 00:38:55,119 --> 00:38:59,200 require a new number to be supplied 1021 00:38:56,800 --> 00:39:02,320 though because of that 1022 00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:03,599 increase to the rear yard. 1023 00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:05,680 uh they're looking for a reduction in 1024 00:39:03,599 --> 00:39:09,520 the minimum loading space required from 1025 00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:12,720 one to zero.

They will be 1031 00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:31,440 supplying or looking to supply, sorry, 1032 00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:33,680 not saying will, looking to supply 1033 00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:35,200 loading, just not at our size 1034 00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:37,280 requirements. So, they won't be putting 1035 00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:40,000 transports in there. They'll be using 1036 00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:41,440 more cube bands or things that won't 1037 00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:43,200 meet our size. So, they asked for that 1038 00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:44,960 reduction. 1039 00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:47,920 Uh they're looking the original request 1040 00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:50,880 was for a reduction in parking from 153 1041 00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:55,200 to 113 1042 00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:57,599 due to the loss of units or reduction in 1043 00:39:55,200 --> 00:40:00,240 units. Uh the minimum parking required 1044 00:39:57,599 --> 00:40:02,079 is now 142. They're looking at supplying 1045 00:40:00,240 --> 00:40:04,560 103. 1046 00:40:02,079 --> 00:40:06,880 They're also looking to decrease the 1047 00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:09,040 minimum ground floor height from 4.5 m 1048 00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:10,800 to 3.35. 1049 00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:12,640 permission to locate residential on the 1050 00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:14,560 ground floor as I had mentioned and 1051 00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:16,880 relief to not require the children's 1052 00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:19,520 play area due to the proximity to Hardy 1053 00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:21,440 Park.

It was proposed at 1088 00:41:45,119 --> 00:41:51,760 1.8. It remains at 1.8. Yes, it abuts 1089 00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:53,359 their rear yards, 1090 00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:55,200 but based on our definition, it's an 1091 00:41:53,359 --> 00:41:57,680 interior sideyard, which our requirement 1092 00:41:55,200 --> 00:42:01,040 is actually zero.

Um I believe what 1213 00:47:03,599 --> 00:47:10,640 councelor Wales is looking to propose is 1214 00:47:07,599 --> 00:47:13,680 a minimum setback. That may increase 1215 00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:16,680 once the final design does come forward. 1216 00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:16,680 Um, 1217 00:47:16,720 --> 00:47:20,880 one thing they could do, there's 1218 00:47:18,240 --> 00:47:23,040 swailes, there's drainage they could run 1219 00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:24,560 along that. They could possibly go 1220 00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:26,160 through the foundation and tie into 1221 00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:29,359 their existing system in the parking 1222 00:47:26,160 --> 00:47:30,000 lot.

Um, but in today's age, you 1230 00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:45,119 can engineer anything. 1231 00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:46,640 » Yeah. Yeah.

So um I was hoping that 1240 00:48:03,599 --> 00:48:09,280 getting the engineering before we do 1241 00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:11,520 this would prevent the uh legal action 1242 00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:14,400 in the future. So that that that's the 1243 00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:17,680 that's the intent of of the question and 1244 00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:20,640 and why I would like not to, you know, 1245 00:48:17,680 --> 00:48:22,640 » Run off willy-nilly without uh without 1246 00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:24,319 » You'll bring it up again when we're at 1247 00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:27,119 site plan approval. 1248 00:48:24,319 --> 00:48:29,280 » Yeah. Well, I think it, you know, if 1249 00:48:27,119 --> 00:48:31,200 there's six feet in between, I think it 1250 00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:34,480 might might be a good thing for building 1251 00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:36,160 maintenance, but if it causes the water 1252 00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:37,440 to to stay in there and go into 1253 00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:38,400 somebody's basement, then well, that 1254 00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:40,559 could be a bad thing. 1255 00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:44,319 » Yeah.

There's no change. Uh so, I 1263 00:48:57,200 --> 00:49:01,440 just wonder if if with the consent of of 1264 00:48:59,119 --> 00:49:03,599 council, we could hear confirmation uh 1265 00:49:01,440 --> 00:49:06,880 from from the applicant that you know 1266 00:49:03,599 --> 00:49:08,400 what's uh what's being proposed that 1.8 1267 00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:12,079 back is okay. 1268 00:49:08,400 --> 00:49:15,280 No. Yeah, please. 1269 00:49:12,079 --> 00:49:16,800 » Thank you.

Uh this is just a storm water 1272 00:49:19,119 --> 00:49:23,760 management issue for uh any water that 1273 00:49:21,760 --> 00:49:26,000 uh isn't uh captured already inside the 1274 00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:28,559 building. Uh so all the rain runoff is 1275 00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:31,200 what your your concern is. Uh those six 1276 00:49:28,559 --> 00:49:32,960 feet uh will likely have storm water 1277 00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:35,680 management control systems that will 1278 00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:38,160 direct the water instead of down. it'll 1279 00:49:35,680 --> 00:49:40,319 go around and into a uh either the 1280 00:49:38,160 --> 00:49:42,720 municipal, you know, already storm water 1281 00:49:40,319 --> 00:49:45,359 system or our systems and then pump it 1282 00:49:42,720 --> 00:49:46,880 back out. Uh this will be dealt with uh 1283 00:49:45,359 --> 00:49:48,400 at that point. We don't want to erode 1284 00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:51,520 our own foundation 1285 00:49:48,400 --> 00:49:52,400 » Uh and uh and andor our underground 1286 00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:53,920 parking 1287 00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:56,640 » Uh which will likely already have some 1288 00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:58,559 type of way to control water runoff. So 1289 00:49:56,640 --> 00:50:00,400 the act the space actually allows us to 1290 00:49:58,559 --> 00:50:00,800 better deal with it quite frankly. 1291 00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:01,200 » Yeah. 1292 00:50:00,800 --> 00:50:02,800 » Yeah. 1293 00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:04,480 » Thank you.

I think it would 1297 00:50:08,720 --> 00:50:12,079 provide some some comfort that, you 1298 00:50:10,319 --> 00:50:12,800 know, this is in the zoning bylaw moving 1299 00:50:12,079 --> 00:50:15,760 forward. 1300 00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:19,280 » Yes.

Um the only 1307 00:50:37,119 --> 00:50:43,839 thing that I can see is 1308 00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:47,599 by imposing that it takes away the 1309 00:50:43,839 --> 00:50:51,280 applicant's ability if they wanted to 1310 00:50:47,599 --> 00:50:54,559 to build it directly abuing the manpower 1311 00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:57,040 building at the front. So you will see a 1312 00:50:54,559 --> 00:50:58,319 gap along King Street if you do impose 1313 00:50:57,040 --> 00:51:01,280 that. 1314 00:50:58,319 --> 00:51:04,160 » Yes.

We don't we don't make 1319 00:51:13,680 --> 00:51:17,280 them build it at zero. Otherwise, it 1320 00:51:15,599 --> 00:51:17,920 would be maximum of zero. 1321 00:51:17,280 --> 00:51:19,760 » Yeah, 1322 00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:21,520 » We have a minimum of zero.
