[0:34] Chères citoyennes et chers [0:35] citoyens, Bienvenue à cette [0:37] séance régulière du conseil [0:38] municipal du 16 août 2022. [0:47] Avant de débuter la séance du [0:49] conseil municipal, permettez-moi [0:51] de rendre hommage au directeur [0:54] général de la Ville, M. Weemaes, [0:57] qui nous quitte à la fin du mois [0:58] d'août pour relever de nouveaux [1:00] défis à titre de directeur [1:02] général de l'Association des [1:06] municipalités de banlieue de [1:09] l'Île de Montréal. M. Weemaes [1:10] cumule 48 ans d'expérience dans [1:12] le domaine municipal, dont près [1:14] de 45 ans à titre de directeur [1:18] général, dans dix municipalités [1:22] québécoises. Après avoir [1:26] commencé sa carrière à Gagnon, [1:29] Chapais et Chibougamau dans le [1:30] nord de la province, son talent [1:32] a été rapidement perçu et [1:36] l'impact de sa gestion de plus [1:37] en plus reconnu à Beloeil, [1:39] Saint-Lambert, Granby, [1:41] Repentigny, Gatineau et [1:42] Pointe-Claire. [1:47] Il a oeuvré et collaboré auprès [1:49] de 16 maires, plus de 170 élus [1:51] et 12000 employés. [1:57] M. Weemaes, si on fait un calcul [2:00] rapide, vous avez participé à [2:02] plus de 1 000 séances publiques [2:03] dans votre carrière. [2:11] Vous êtes un gestionnaire [2:13] d'exception. Vous savez [2:15] reconnaître le mérite de chacune [2:17] et chacun, l'innovation et [2:20] l'excellence de vos équipes. Je [2:22] tiens à souligner votre travail [2:24] et votre engagement au sein de [2:25] la Ville de Pointe-Claire. Vous [2:27] êtes un gestionnaire [2:32] d'expérience compétent, intègre [2:33] et professionnel. Grâce à vous, [2:35] de nombreux projets ont été [2:36] réalisés à la Ville de [2:38] Pointe-Claire, au bénéfice de [2:39] toute notre communauté. [2:43] D'ailleurs, en 2017, vous avez [2:45] reçu à ce titre le prix [2:48] Distinction de l'Association des [2:50] directeurs généraux des [2:53] municipalités du Québec en tant [2:54] que directeur général de l'année [2:58] parmi toutes les [3:06] villes de la province. C'est [3:07] tout un honneur. Le conseil [3:08] municipal se joint à moi pour [3:09] vous souhaiter bon succès dans [3:11] vos nouvelles fonctions à titre [3:13] de directeur général de [3:14] l'Association des municipalités [3:15] de banlieue de l'île de [3:17] Montréal. Nous avons eu de la [3:18] chance de vous compter parmi [3:20] nous ces huit dernières années. [3:23] Vous êtes une sommité dans le [3:26] domaine municipal et vous [3:29] laissez derrière vous de grands [3:30] souliers à chausser! Bravo pour [3:31] votre parcours remarquable au [3:33] service des citoyennes et [3:35] citoyens. M. Weemaes, nous vous [3:39] souhaitons une bonne dernière [3:41] séance régulière du conseil [3:43] municipal de Pointe-Claire! [3:49] (applaudissements) [6:30] J'aimerais également souligner [6:31] le travail du Service de la [6:32] culture, des sports, des loisirs [6:33] et du développement [6:36] communautaire pour les [6:37] merveilleuses Journées de [6:38] Pointe-Claire et l'équipe des [6:40] communications pour leur soutien [6:41] dans la promotion des activités. [6:45] Je pense que les événements se [6:49] sont très bien déroulés - la [6:50] Foire de Valois était super et [6:52] très fréquentée, le Festival de [6:56] cuisine internationale était [6:58] incroyable, la conférence et [7:00] l'activité de bricolage à la [7:02] bibliothèque étaient appréciées [7:03] et la journée sur l'eau à la [7:04] baie de Valois a également été [7:08] populaire pour les résidents de [7:15] Pointe-Claire. Cependant, je [7:17] suis un peu déçu par la [7:18] fréquentation du Centre sportif [7:22] Olive-Urquhart pour les portes [7:24] ouvertes lorsque je suis passé [7:25] dimanche en début d'après-midi. [7:26] Ce sont d'excellentes [7:28] installations et j'espère [7:29] qu'avec le retour à l'école, le [7:32] centre sera plus fréquenté. [7:36] C'était une excellente première [7:37] fois! Félicitations à tous! [8:29] - [8:30] Test de locution [8:42] madame Thibault, on peut [8:43] commencer? [8:52] Avec le changement suivant, avec [8:54] l'addition [8:55] (---) [8:56] .

Le programme de [9:53] sensibilisation aux intrusions [9:54] sur le chemin de fer, pas. [10:13] - Ces requêtes, 0 un, adopté le [10:17] procès-verbal de la séance [10:19] ordinaire du 5 juillet 2022. [10:50] - Période de questions. Pour la [10:52] période de questions, nous avons [10:55] 90 minutes pour la période de [10:56] questions comme cela a été fait [10:58] dans le passé. Nous commenceront [11:01] la question des résidents de [11:04] Pointe-Claire. Et nous [11:07] aborderons les questions des [11:09] promoteurs et lorsque je serai [11:11] prêt à le faire [11:12] (---) [11:13] . [16:48] >> No, sir. I'm not smearing or [16:51] implying, I'm asking for [16:52] clarification. I'm asking if [16:54] this man into this man and the [16:56] rest of Council going to backup [16:58] what he said? [16:59] >> I've given you clarity. [17:01] >> So nobody else is going to [17:04] back up the words that they've [17:06] said? [17:07] >> I've given you enough [17:08] clarity. [17:09] >> I think we should call an [17:11] investigation. [17:12] [laughs] [17:13] please. Yes, sir? [17:18] >> Mr. Stork would like to [17:20] respond. [17:21] >> I would like to hear your [17:22] question. You are not organizing [17:24] these chambers and have no say. [17:25] What can I do for you? Do you [17:27] have a question? I've given you [17:29] permission to ask the question. [17:30] >> Thank you. So I will start, [17:34] I've got a few little questions, [17:36] but my preamble. It's very [17:38] disturbing to read these things [17:40] online and I'm going to add the [17:42] Pointe-Claire journal, for most [17:43] of us in my generation, it's [17:45] probably younger generations, [17:46] see it as almost a propaganda [17:50] rag. My seven neighbours. I only [17:53] have seven neighbours on my [17:54] street. My seven neighbours give [17:56] me their Pointe-Claire journals [17:58] unopened and unread to put into [18:00] my recycling bag to go to my [18:02] parents so they can bring them. [18:04] It's our fire starter. That is [18:05] what most people use the [18:08] Pointe-Claire journal for. [18:10] Insinuating that the [18:11] Pointe-Claire journal is the [18:12] most red paper and [18:14] Pointe-Claire. [18:15] >> It is. [18:16] >> I would love to see your [18:17] statistics on that and see. Most [18:20] delivered? Yes, it goes into all [18:22] our mailboxes and we really wish [18:23] it didn't. We wish it stayed [18:26] where it came from and did not [18:28] use the new trees or recycled [18:31] paper to make it. I don't read [18:34] it. None of my neighbours read [18:35] it. We don't think it's anything [18:37] worth reading. To say the [18:39] Mayor's message goes on the [18:41] Pointe-Claire website, the [18:44] Pointe-Claire newsletter, that [18:45] can be emailed to all residents [18:46] who sign up for it. That is [18:47] where it should be, not in some [18:52] propaganda rag that is extremely [18:55] one-sided and not balanced. I [18:58] would like to say, I'm very [19:02] happy to see all these people [19:03] here. It's a pretty good crowd. [19:04] >> They are all waiting for a [19:06] question. Other than an [19:09] editorial, we would like to hear [19:11] a question. Please get your [19:17] question. [19:18] >> I will cite some of the [19:19] people that spoke at the July [19:21] meeting that I was unfortunately [19:22] unable to attend because I [19:24] contracted COVID. So the average [19:27] speaker with six minutes, that [19:29] was the average, some had three, [19:31] some had ten. I think you owe me [19:34] a little bit of time. I just [19:37] want to, I will be short. My [19:40] questions are brief, so just [19:41] give me a little more leeway [19:42] here. I'm just saying I know [19:46] everyone is here to -- hear [19:51] appeals of demolition and [19:53] development, bylaw changes that [19:55] are proposed in the minutes. [19:56] It's just mind-boggling that [19:58] these same people live in a [20:01] building that my in laws had to [20:02] put up with the construction, [20:04] because it was around the corner [20:06] from their house. So again, we [20:09] are in this situation of the [20:10] city and not in my backyard, but [20:12] then in my backyard I would love [20:13] to have development in my [20:16] backyard like the City of [20:17] Toronto just passed a bylaw to [20:19] allow carriage houses and [20:20] secondary houses in their [20:21] backyard. That's a really good [20:24] way of getting densification on [20:28] our large private lots. I could [20:31] build another place behind my [20:32] place and rented out at a low [20:34] rate and get densification, [20:35] low-cost housing, and [20:36] everything. So my questions [20:41] asked --. In the June meeting, [20:46] the evaluation criteria to be [20:47] used within the framework of the [20:49] call for tenders for [20:51] professional services and the [20:52] participatory process of the [20:53] provisions of planning and [20:55] program and planning bylaws was [20:57] approved. I'm gathering this was [20:59] for the tender for the ICB, or [21:03] the planning process, the public [21:06] addressing process. When is the [21:09] tender going to be awarded? When [21:10] will we find out more about this [21:13] public process that you have [21:14] been promising us for eight [21:15] months now. [21:17] >> It's actually less than that [21:19] because we did not get there [21:20] until a few months ago. So it's [21:21] not eight months. [21:22] >> You have been promising it [21:23] for eight months. [21:24] >> We have not decided who and [21:25] where the RGI applied before we [21:27] could even go to tender. So you [21:28] are incorrect in your statement, [21:31] but I will actually ask Mr. [21:34] Weemaes if he has a timeline. Do [21:36] you have any timeline on the [21:39] consultation? [21:40] >> It takes six months for [21:42] professional services. It will [21:43] come up in the coming weeks or [21:45] coming months, but I don't have. [21:47] >> Thank you, Mr. Fujita. [21:49] >> My second question. This [21:55] spring, sorry timelines I've [21:56] been very busy, if there was a [21:58] call of the four applications [21:59] from residents for the [22:00] environmental and sustainable [22:03] development advisory committee. [22:04] What happened with that? Where [22:05] has it gone? I applied and never [22:07] heard anything from anybody [22:09] about that application, not even [22:11] a thank you or anything. But it [22:13] would be really nice to know [22:14] about these things. And you talk [22:19] about the City communication? [22:20] There is one of them. [22:21] >> Go ahead, Kelly. [22:22] >> I'm sorry if you did not hear [22:24] back. There was a delay in the [22:25] process, what I thought everyone [22:27] did hear back and the interviews [22:29] would be within the next four [22:30] weeks. We had to reschedule them [22:31] for various reasons. The [22:33] interviews will be coming within [22:35] the last week of August, first [22:36] week of September, but [22:38] Councillor Tremblay and I will [22:40] follow up to make sure anyone [22:41] who did apply, and is not going [22:43] to be interviewed, will receive [22:46] the feedback either way. [22:49] >> Thank you. Appreciate that. [23:00] >> How you doing? Could they all [23:04] attendance of this meeting and [23:07] Council. Subject of the question [23:10] I will be asking today. [23:12] >> Sorry, sir. What is your name [23:14] please? [23:15] >> My name is Raymond -- I live [23:17] on 15 Compton Crescent in [23:18] Pointe-Claire. The subject of [23:23] this appearance is water [23:25] fluoridation. There is an [23:27] ongoing petition that so far has [23:29] 30 -- 3170 residents of [23:36] Pointe-Claire having signed a [23:37] petition. In terms of the [23:39] numbers, just put on my timer so [23:42] I make it under ten minutes. [23:46] >> Ten is generous, but okay. [23:49] >> As for the numbers I [23:54] surveyed, I have been keeping [23:55] stats and accurate stats of the [24:00] last 660 households who had the [24:02] choice of saying yes to the [24:03] petition. In terms of yes, [24:07] ending the policy of water [24:09] fluoridation by Montréal [24:10] Pointe-Claire. And of those 660 [24:12] households, I spoken to you [24:14] before and you told me in order [24:16] to have the resolution passed I [24:18] would have to show that the [24:20] majority of residents are [24:24] against the policy. So of the [24:29] last 660 households, 50 to minus [24:38] 19, I can't do that real quick, [24:40] it's 30 something households, [24:43] each section taking about three [24:44] hours or ten hours to do. After [24:47] 660 households, 495 said yeah, [24:51] meaning 75% of households [24:53] signed. This is the last 660. [25:05] Île where is the topical [25:13] application Île, raise over 10% [25:15] of Pointe-Claire's voting [25:17] population signed a petition, [25:20] over 75% of respondents the last [25:24] consecutive neighbourhoods, [25:25] consecutive household, have said [25:27] yes. On November 21st, 2020, my [25:36] city councillor, Mister Cowan, [25:37] came out with me for three and a [25:39] half hours at noticed the same [25:40] stats. 80% of household people [25:42] who answered their doors said [25:45] yes and a petition. I could keep [25:47] going for the next two years and [25:48] it will say the exact same [25:50] thing. Whether it's 3170, or [25:56] 70,000. -- 7000. Whereas topical [26:05] application of medical grade [26:07] fluoride provides the majority [26:09] of protected benefit against [26:10] cavities, where is the purpose [26:11] of the public water supply is to [26:13] supply water to the entire [26:14] community which is composed of [26:16] people with varying health [26:18] conditions and various stages of [26:19] life and in various economic [26:21] status, and not to forcibly [26:22] medicate the population. Whereas [26:25] Pointe-Claire's residents never [26:26] gave their consent to be masked [26:28] medicated. Systemic application [26:30] removes medical consent and [26:31] freedom of choice, when fluoride [26:34] is -- supplied the drinking [26:36] water. There's no control with [26:38] the amount of fluoride that is [26:39] consumed, which can lead to [26:41] excessive consumption. Where is [26:43] less than 1% of the water used [26:44] for drinking, while 99% of water [26:51] is intended for other uses, [26:53] industry along care, plushy, [26:54] toilet centre. Making the policy [26:56] of wasted taxpayer money, much [26:59] of that fluoridated water can [27:00] escape into the environment [27:01] where it has considerable [27:05] effects and wears the substance [27:10] -- so this is the spec sheet [27:15] from the City of Montréal, is [27:16] against the policy themselves. [27:18] It clearly says here, industrial [27:20] use only. As a gift to the [27:22] aquatic environment. Toxic if [27:24] swallowed. It is nothing about [27:26] dental decay or cavities. The [27:29] same substance is on the market [27:32] for ceramics and glass. Only [27:33] four plants in the entire of [27:36] Québec still flora date. It's [27:39] illegal to Florida and the [27:40] Netherlands, fanned in Israel [27:42] 2019. Only two countries for a [27:44] date in Europe, and [27:46] Pointe-Claire as a policy in [27:48] place saying they will end it [27:51] anyways. So the majority of [27:56] households for the last 600 [28:01] households,, if 76% of them are [28:06] saying no, I see no reason why [28:08] we can't pass the resolution. [28:12] Where is the substance sodium [28:16] silicoflouride is not [28:17] pharmaceutical grade like a [28:24] dental clinic, that substance [28:25] would be even illegal for [28:27] dentists to use in their dental [28:28] clinic. The substance actually [28:33] comes from Jacksonville, [28:35] Florida. Montréal themselves are [28:37] against the process. Montréal [28:39] city is historically never [28:40] fluoridated their water. Rather [28:53] in industrial grade type, one [28:55] that is most likely [28:56] contaminated, so that substance [28:58] is not approved or regulated by [29:01] Health Canada to treat dental [29:02] decay. [29:05] >> Fluoride can cause harmful -- [29:08] harm to the brain and body in [29:10] particular, during early [29:13] development, therefore be it [29:14] resolved to the City Council of [29:16] the city of Pointe-Claire uphold [29:19] the request of its residents to [29:21] consider the important facts [29:22] surrounding the practice of [29:24] water fluoridation and vote [29:25] against it. There is no way of [29:27] dozing fluoridated tap water at [29:29] home. No way to find out who is [29:31] drinking it. Pregnant women, [29:32] infants, people on dialysis, [29:34] people with weakened these are [29:35] all warned not to drink it. As I [29:37] mentioned, 99% of the [29:39] temperature goes down the drain, [29:40] where a lot of it meets [29:42] engagements with the -- [29:46] [inaudible] [29:47] a lot of water, you know 15% of [29:49] water, is wasted with leaks so [29:52] only 0.2% of water is drank, [29:54] more is weighted by Lee. [44:39] I know, I felt the pain. They [44:41] did it eventually, and that was [44:42] not a good exercise, because [44:45] Cartier, the contractor, went [44:46] back wrapped. It was much longer [44:48] than it should have been. Even [44:49] then, it wasn't that long. They [44:50] did it fairly well. And our [44:53] engineers and everybody is on it [44:55] right now. They are very much [44:57] concerned about the timeframe. [44:58] Everybody, Council, everyone is [45:00] on this. They know that this is [45:02] not something that is going to [45:04] be allowed to go wrong or wait. [45:06] Everyone is on it and we know [45:09] the precariousness of what is [45:10] going on, and we want to [45:11] minimize all kinds of pain for [45:12] sure. [45:13] >> Okay. I appreciate it. [45:15] Thanks, guys, for listening to [45:16] me. Have a good evening. [45:17] >> Okay. [45:21] >> Susan Weaver, Pointe-Claire. [45:24] First I will talk about the [45:27] Pointe-Claire journal. From [45:30] December 2021 until February [45:32] 2022. Mr. Thomas, you take [45:35] advantage of funds allotted to [45:37] your office to take a -- out [45:39] full page ads in the journal. As [45:40] I have said before, it was [45:42] unnecessary because [45:43] Pointe-Claire reaches out to the [45:44] citizens in print and online. [45:47] Total cost of addeds, for the [45:49] 7:14 -- 40 7:14. At the caucus [45:54] meetings, the notes I played [45:55] says -- [45:57] >> You obtained notes from a [45:59] caucus meeting? [46:01] >> Excuse me! [46:02] >> Excuse me, Miss Weaver. It's [46:04] my call on this. You obtained [46:06] notes from a caucus meeting? [46:08] Whose notes? [46:10] >> Access to information. Thank [46:12] you very much! Access to [46:14] information! [46:15] >> It is not your position to [46:16] yell at me. It is not your [46:18] position to yell -- decide how [46:20] we will discourse right here. [46:23] This is a chamber where there is [46:25] decorum and we have mutually [46:29] respectful interchange. You do [46:32] not always adhere to those rules [46:33] and I would encourage you to do [46:34] so. [46:36] >> Okay. I have two questions. [46:38] >> Okay. [46:39] >> I have to bring gambles and [46:41] two questions, so will you let [46:43] me finish and then you can speak [46:45] afterwards? The [46:46] >> Depending how long the [46:47] preamble. [46:48] >> The quiet! [46:49] >> Miss Weaver, Miss Weaver, [46:50] Miss Weaver. [46:53] >> Excuse me, excuse me. [46:54] >> You are not allowed to tell [46:55] me to be quiet or dictate the [46:57] rules in this chamber. That is [46:58] not your right. [46:59] >> What's right do I have? [47:01] >> Do you want to be -- do you [47:04] want your right to ask the [47:06] question removed or behave with [47:09] decorum? [47:10] >> What are my rights as a [47:12] citizen? [47:13] >> I would like you to behave [47:15] with decorum. [47:16] >> Can I continue, if it's with [47:17] quorum. [47:18] >> Okay, I will ask afterwards, [47:20] after the question. At the March [47:22] 29th caucus meeting, I went to [47:26] access the information and the [47:27] notes I obtained says the mayor [47:30] suggests spending $5,000 for [47:32] publications to the journal. It [47:38] was unanimously rejected by all [47:39] councillors. To be noted, all [47:41] eight councillors were present. [47:45] I July's council meeting, [47:47] Councillor Cowan read a [47:48] statement that during a prior [47:50] caucus meeting, you wanted to [47:51] give contribute to the journal [47:53] of $5,000. You had said yourself [47:55] that it was morally [47:57] reprehensible. You seem to be [48:00] fixated on repaying the [48:01] Pointe-Claire journal for [48:02] heavily promoting you last year [48:05] prior to the election. My guess [48:06] is that you cannot pay it back [48:08] yourself, because you would have [48:10] to submit it at elections -- [48:12] expense. My question is, why [48:15] attribute? If the Pointe-Claire [48:16] journal more deserving than the [48:17] West Island Gazette or the [48:18] suburban? [48:22] >> Is that the question? [48:23] >> Yes. [48:25] >> First of all, calls of tender [48:30] dictate that you advertise with [48:33] the most widely distributed [48:34] newspaper. The most widely [48:37] distributed newspaper at that [48:38] timeframe was absolutely without [48:40] a doubt the Pointe-Claire [48:41] journal. It was the one that [48:42] reached most households and most [48:44] widely distributed. Can't so if [48:47] we are to tender in and, it is [48:49] specified, those are the rules, [48:51] that we have to advertise in the [48:52] most widely distributed. So the [48:55] Pointe-Claire journal, if we go [48:56] to calls for tender, was the [48:57] most widely distributed [48:59] newspaper in Pointe-Claire. It [49:00] was the only selection for the [49:04] advertising. The advertising, [49:05] the mayor's message by the way, [49:07] it's done by mayors and [49:08] municipalities across the [49:09] province. There's nothing wrong [49:11] with it, and unfortunately for [49:15] some odd reason, and it was [49:16] going to be paid for, the normal [49:19] -- it here to buy the no [49:21] newspapers and what was budgeted [49:22] for. It was nothing out of the [49:23] norm. There was no payoff or [49:25] anybody. It was my desire to [49:27] communicate legitimately and [49:29] with transparency to my citizens [49:30] in the most widely distributed [49:33] journal. Would you stop making [49:35] rude faces? I'm not doing that [49:36] to you, could you stop doing [49:37] that? It's really not becoming. [49:40] I would encourage you to just [49:41] please, a little decorum. Now [49:46] >> Can I ask a question? [49:47] >> No, Miss Weaver I'm still [49:49] talking. Thank you very much. [49:53] Now, the access to information [49:55] of caucus notes I find clearly [49:59] suspect. And I have real doubts [50:01] about that. And I have real [50:04] doubts that access to [50:06] information gave you notes from [50:07] caucus, someone's notes from [50:10] caucus. I don't even think that [50:11] is legally possible. So I am [50:13] highly suspect of your [50:14] credibility right now. [50:15] >> Oh really? [50:17] >> Yes I am. [50:18] >> Okay, well I have it all. [50:19] >> You can show that to [50:21] somebody, and that has to be [50:22] verified. And I would like to [50:23] see that. And I would like [50:27] Madame Thibault to see that as [50:28] well. [50:29] >> Well I got it from [50:30] Pointe-Claire. [50:31] >> You're going to have to be [50:32] forthcoming with those. Because [50:33] we would really, really, really [50:35] like to see them. [50:39] >> Mayor Thomas, you can request [50:41] for the notes from the caucus [50:42] meeting. [50:43] >> Okay. [50:44] >> So you are calling me -- [50:47] >> I'm quite astonished you can [50:49] access. [50:50] >> You are calling me someone [50:51] who's not telling the truth? [50:53] >> No. I would like to see those [50:54] notes. [50:55] >> I think you have just accused [50:56] me of something as a citizen. [50:58] >> I would very much like to see [51:00] those notes. [51:01] >> Maybe you better read up on [51:02] the law, the bylaws. [51:03] >> I would love to see the note [51:05] of those caucus meetings. [51:06] >> I can't show them to you [51:07] because you won't contact me. [51:10] And you have blocked me from [51:11] everything. [51:12] >> This Weaver. [51:13] >> Anyway, we only have a [51:14] certain amount of time, I'm on [51:15] to my second question. [51:16] >> You aren't deciding to. If [51:17] you are not deciding that. You [51:22] are not deciding the rules in [51:23] this chamber. Okay? [51:24] >> No, I never do. I respect the [51:26] chamber. [51:27] >> Oh you often do. And you know [51:28] what, Miss Weaver? If you are [51:29] not deciding that tonight. [51:30] >> Do I get a second question? [51:32] >> You get a second question. [51:33] >> Okay. And I do respect the [51:36] chamber. The second one is [51:39] lawsuits. In the minutes of the [51:42] May 3rd council meeting, it is [51:44] written, from the 2021 surplus, [51:49] $500,000 was allotted to the [51:51] reserve fully commit the. I've [51:54] just heard that -- is now suing [51:57] our city for $400,000 plus [52:00] damages. This is one of how many [52:04] lawsuits? The $500,000 will not [52:06] go very far. Pointe-Claire [52:09] citizens will eventually need to [52:11] pay for the lawsuits, either by [52:14] a loss of services and programs, [52:16] or a substantial increase in [52:17] taxes. If so, this is absolutely [52:22] not fair to seniors like myself, [52:25] who are on fixed incomes and [52:27] would be forced to move out of [52:28] their homes and away from [52:29] Pointe-Claire. What is the total [52:31] cost of lawsuits to date, and [52:34] how will this affect the [52:35] citizens of Pointe-Claire? [52:37] >> Okay. Miss Weber, interim [52:41] control measures are a tool, [52:43] illegal tool, given by the [52:45] province of Québec for [52:48] municipalities to slow down [52:49] development, legitimately and [52:51] legally slow down development, [52:53] in their areas because they are [52:54] being developed quickly. The -- [52:58] has realized this is an issue [52:59] across all municipalities and a [53:01] real problem in the province of [53:02] Québec. So they have developed [53:05] interim control measures to [53:07] protect cities from [53:08] overdevelopment. They are a [53:09] powerful legal tool, and most [53:11] developers know that. They are a [53:12] very powerful legal to. And when [53:15] you enacted in RCI, it's a given [53:17] the developers are going to sue [53:19] in fact. It happens in all of [53:20] them. What we have now is a [53:26] powerful legislation that is [53:27] given to us by the province to [53:28] protect ourselves, and we are [53:29] using it. We will then let the [53:34] courts decide and that the [53:37] outcomes resolve themselves. In [53:42] the past these measures have [53:43] been very effective. I'm hoping [53:44] that will be in Pointe-Claire. [53:46] It is a bit of a risk but not a [53:48] huge one I'm hoping. And I'm [53:50] hoping that seniors like [53:52] yourself get to live in a city [53:53] that will not be overwhelmed and [53:56] not become too expensive and [53:58] will allow you a quality of life [54:00] with green space and with [54:02] affordable housing that won't be [54:03] the case if we do not implement [54:05] this interim control measure. So [54:07] thank you for your question, [54:09] Miss Weaver. [54:10] >> How many lawsuits to date? [54:11] >> I just answered your [54:13] question. [54:14] >> You did not answer it. How [54:15] did you answer it? I asked how [54:18] many lawsuits to date. [54:19] >> You've had your two [54:20] questions. Thank, you Miss [54:21] Weaver. [54:22] >> You obviously do not know the [54:23] answer. You don't know what [54:26] you're doing. [54:27] >> Don't hurl insults, it's not [54:28] becoming. Yes ma'am? [54:38] >> Mayor Thomas, councillors, [54:39] how are you doing? [54:40] >> Good and you? [54:41] >> I hope everyone is doing [54:42] well. Good, thank you. I'm in [54:46] district seven. Just a quick [54:49] comment. I do enjoy reading the [54:52] Pointe-Claire paper. It is [54:54] something I look forward to. In [54:56] fact, I think a lot of seniors [54:58] don't have access to computers [55:02] or Wi-Fi or emails, or can have [55:04] a look at the websites, so I [55:06] think it's a good newspaper to [55:10] keep receiving, and I keep [55:11] reading it whenever I get it. My [55:13] question today. What is for the [55:20] best interest of Pointe-Claire [55:21] residents? Could councillors not [55:24] abide by their duty to all? [55:27] Citizens that voted for them? [55:30] And not the relish state [55:31] developers -- the real estate [55:34] developers. The reason I'm [55:35] asking, our infrastructure is [55:37] not adequate. Our streets are [55:40] not adequate for extra traffic. [55:42] From my conversations, most [55:44] Pointe-Claire residents don't [55:45] want extra construction. [55:47] High-rise buildings. Condos. [55:49] Apartments. And they specially [55:51] don't want extra traffic around [55:52] I were already busy streets. [55:56] With -- wood new construction [55:58] allow one car per unit? People [56:00] are not coming here mainly for [56:03] the REM or public transport. In [56:04] fact, this is enticing people to [56:05] come with their cars. All of [56:09] that is against the Environment. [56:13] I'm skipping to another subject. [56:17] Mr. Brent Cowan of district [56:18] eight. In the article in the [56:22] suburban on July 27, showing a [56:29] smile, it's the hip the humanly [56:35] against Sotramont and Cadillac [56:36] Fairview going ahead and [56:37] building more units. I won't [56:39] repeat some of the language. It [56:48] sounds almost like incriminating [56:49] our city. On the other hand, Mr. [56:52] Cowan, in the newspaper the [56:56] Pointe-Claire catalogue, it's [57:02] quoted you want to help bring [57:04] municipal government closer to [57:05] the community and to encourage [57:06] the community deeper involvement [57:07] in their own municipal [57:10] government. Just a reminder, [57:15] that the shelling meeting for [57:17] the consultation, along with [57:20] Eric district seven, and Tara [57:22] district for, the majority of [57:23] the people attended there were [57:25] against all these constant [57:26] though -- condo construction. To [57:29] my question to you is, if there [57:31] would be a high-rise development [57:35] building on your street next to [57:36] it, how would you feel? [57:41] >> On my street where I live, [57:43] there have been one, two, three [57:48] demolitions already and [57:50] reconstructions. There is [57:54] another three requests. One has [57:57] been approved and another to [57:58] requests. So there's a lot going [57:59] on on my street as well. This is [58:03] the nature of of life right now [58:07] in Pointe-Claire. We mitigate [58:09] these kinds of changes to the [58:10] best of our ability. We can't [58:12] stop time. [58:14] >> High rise buildings with over [58:15] 200 units each? [58:18] >> The high-rise buildings are [58:19] in my district. I voted to [58:24] approve the high-rise on [58:25] Belmont. I think it's within its [58:29] rights. That building. And I [58:32] think in the end it will be for [58:33] the neighbourhood. I've also [58:35] voted against the plus Frontenac [58:37] development because it was a [58:39] conditional use, and I thought [58:40] that area should be reserved, as [58:42] it is the zoning, for [58:43] commercial. That's why I voted [58:46] against that. 700 units that [58:50] went there. So there is no [58:52] blanket options to be against [58:54] everything. Against everything [58:56] that is new and coming. There is [58:58] no blanket option to be against [59:01] people who are different for [59:02] moving in, they will, and we [59:04] have to be welcoming to people. [59:07] But local people around the [59:10] Coptic Church, that want to put [59:14] a community center there, not [59:16] all of them because the [59:17] referendum did not pass, but [59:18] there was a vocal minority that [59:22] opposed them. It's [59:26] understandable. People are [59:27] nervous about change. But [59:29] changes coming, and we can't [59:31] stop it. [59:32] >> Thank you for that. I've got [59:34] some statistic for you. My [59:37] answer to development. [1:04:10] Bonsoir tout le, monde je [1:04:12] m'appelle Pierre L'Écuyer, [1:04:13] résident de Pointe-Claire dans [1:04:14] le district numéro 7 avec [1:04:15] monsieur [1:04:16] (---) [1:04:17] . Comme mentionnait Monsieur le [1:04:18] Maire, j'aimerais remercier [1:04:21] monsieur Weemaes comme on l'a [1:04:22] mentionné. Je sais que vous avez [1:04:26] beaucoup de travail pour [1:04:27] Pointe-Claire. Vous avez [1:04:29] toujours bien répondu aux [1:04:31] questions. Je vous souhaite [1:04:32] bonne chance dans ce prochain [1:04:33] chapitre de votre vie. Merci [1:04:34] encore. [1:09:20] Ma deuxième question, je vais la [1:09:22] dire en français à plusieurs [1:09:24] niveaux politiques. Les [1:09:25] vérifications judiciaires, les [1:09:26] conflits d'intérêts financiers [1:09:28] qu'on appelle [1:09:29] (intervention en anglais) [1:09:30] sont faits sur les gens du [1:09:32] domaine public avant de prendre [1:09:33] le poste. On fait la même chose [1:09:34] ici à Pointe-Claire pour [1:09:37] certains entraîneurs sportifs au [1:09:38] sujet du dossier criminel, par [1:09:39] exemple. Est-ce que ce processus [1:09:43] est une possibilité dans le [1:09:44] futur pour le conseil municipal [1:09:46] de Pointe-Claire? Merci. [1:11:14] - Et pour la deuxième question. [1:11:16] - Oui, oui. [1:11:26] - À plusieurs niveaux [1:11:29] politiques, des vérifications [1:11:30] judiciaires ou des conflits [1:11:32] d'intérêts financiers qu'on [1:11:33] appelle vikings en anglais sont [1:11:35] faites sur des gens dans le [1:11:36] domaine public avant de prendre [1:11:38] le poste. On fait la même chose [1:11:40] ici à Pointe-Claire pour des [1:11:42] entraîneurs sportifs, par [1:11:43] exemple, si je veux devenir [1:11:45] entraîneur pour un groupe de [1:11:46] soccer, il fera une petite [1:11:48] recherche sur moi pour voir si [1:11:49] j'ai un dossier criminel, par [1:11:50] exemple. Est-ce que c'est un [1:11:52] processus qui serait possible [1:11:53] dans le futur considéré pour le [1:11:55] conseil municipal de [1:11:56] Pointe-Claire? [1:12:03] - Effectivement, une question [1:12:05] administrative, ce sont [1:12:06] d'ailleurs des conditions, aucun [1:12:08] qu'on dit dans un candidat doit [1:12:10] rencontrer pour le conseil [1:12:12] municipal, ça relève des lois [1:12:14] provinciales. Le conseil [1:12:15] municipal n'a aucun pouvoir pour [1:12:16] juger de quoi que ce soit, c'est [1:12:17] la loi provinciale qui décide [1:12:18] de. Ça [1:12:19] - D'accord, je vous remercie, [1:12:20] bonne soirée. [1:14:47] One will never understand the [1:14:48] damage you did someone until the [1:14:50] same thing is done to you. [1:14:54] Please keep in mind that at the [1:14:58] very first house that you see on [1:15:00] the back of May would when you [1:15:02] are on Hymus. Keep that in mind. [1:15:05] For the last four years, myself [1:15:09] and my neighbours have had to [1:15:12] endure multiple construction and [1:15:14] development in this [1:15:15] neighbourhood just to name a [1:15:17] few. Hi miss -- [1:15:33] curbs on Maywood and the list [1:15:37] goes on. The dust, the noise, [1:15:39] the pollution, the serious [1:15:40] influx of rodents that it has [1:15:43] brought to us. The wildlife. The [1:15:46] insects that destroy our crops. [1:15:50] These are things we have to [1:15:54] consider, not just building. You [1:15:55] want to catch all the mice [1:15:57] around my yard? Windows must be [1:16:00] kept closed at all times. Air [1:16:01] conditioning has to be on at all [1:16:03] times. The dust is incredible. [1:16:06] The allergies are incredible. [1:16:07] Some people are really sick. Is [1:16:11] the City reimbursing us for all [1:16:13] the treatments we are getting? [1:16:15] Absolutely not. Is anyone coming [1:16:18] to wash windows and homes? [1:16:20] Tables and furniture when we go [1:16:21] outside we have to wash in order [1:16:23] to sit down? For five years we [1:16:26] have injured that. That is why I [1:16:28] was upset. You have to think of [1:16:32] what is being done. The city [1:16:35] members, when I come to talk to [1:16:36] them, some of the departments [1:16:38] know me by first name for [1:16:41] goodness sake. They are very [1:16:42] kind. They offer whatever help [1:16:44] they could give me. They assist [1:16:47] us. Why can't the Council do [1:16:51] that before construction? Why [1:16:52] can't we be consulted? I have [1:16:56] asked Mr. Weemaes why can't [1:16:59] citizens be informed when a [1:17:00] construction is going to be [1:17:02] allowed a permit? He said, [1:17:05] province laws, province bylaws. [1:17:07] There is no obligation on our [1:17:10] part. Would it not be nice? [1:17:13] Would not be courteous? Would it [1:17:15] not be what should be expected? [1:17:18] That we will be imposed all of [1:17:20] this construction and there's [1:17:21] nothing we can say about it. [1:17:23] It's like, shut up and put up. [1:17:25] That's not fair. Again, I ask, [1:17:31] can the councillors in each [1:17:32] region, when something is being [1:17:34] built, not approach the citizens [1:17:36] and inform us? It's not going to [1:17:39] take a long time. Can we change [1:17:41] the plans? Probably not. But at [1:17:44] least we would feel included in [1:17:45] all of this and not just [1:17:49] imposed. I have been a teacher [1:17:51] for 45 years. I'm telling you, [1:17:54] if I imposed everything on my [1:17:56] students, you know what I get [1:17:58] out of the? Nothing. If I [1:18:01] include them in what I want from [1:18:03] them, you know what I get? I get [1:18:06] provincial champions. I get [1:18:07] national champions. I get [1:18:09] Olympic champions. That's what [1:18:10] we all want. I want the council, [1:18:13] I want to work with the mayor to [1:18:15] work with us, and not make us [1:18:17] feel like fools all the time. [1:18:19] I'm tired of fighting. All I do [1:18:21] is fight. To have tranquillity. [1:18:25] For years I retired, all I do is [1:18:27] spend my time writing for five [1:18:29] pages of notes. So I can have a [1:18:31] decent life. I have one [1:18:39] neighbour we. We have yet wanted [1:18:42] to give me 500 neighbours. Thank [1:18:44] God the councillors that work [1:18:46] for us and with us on the [1:18:48] demolition committee were smart [1:18:49] enough to realize that that [1:18:51] should not happen. Would you [1:18:54] like to be in that position? [1:18:56] This is why. That's why I had a [1:18:59] tone. I'm asking you again, can [1:19:04] we all work together? Can we be [1:19:06] informed before construction is [1:19:09] done. Not the day we see trucks [1:19:12] roll in, that we see bulldozers [1:19:16] role in, before. Let's be smart [1:19:19] about this. [1:19:24] >> We can, the answer is, that [1:19:27] we probably should, and we just [1:19:30] might. It is a challenge. And [1:19:33] you are quite right, I know [1:19:35] where you live and it is [1:19:39] certainly -- has certainly been [1:19:41] under deluge for quite awhile. I [1:19:42] feel for you. I have experienced [1:19:45] someday loose, but not to the [1:19:46] extent you have. It's an [1:19:47] unfortunate part of the city for [1:19:49] sure, but there may be other [1:19:51] unfortunate parts of the city in [1:19:52] the future unfortunately. And we [1:19:54] do have to minimize the pain. [1:19:57] And in my opinion, yes [1:20:01] densification is a necessity, [1:20:02] and we are pro creating and [1:20:04] growing as a species, but we've [1:20:06] got to find a way to do it that [1:20:08] is not disrupting people as [1:20:09] much. And I think we can [1:20:10] overtime. I think it is a [1:20:13] process. I've always thought [1:20:14] that in Québec we were, a [1:20:16] Montréal region, we've actually [1:20:17] been spared a little. We have [1:20:19] time to reflect and actually do [1:20:21] it better. If you think about -- [1:20:25] of Toronto or Mississauga and [1:20:26] other places, they were just [1:20:29] completely overwhelmed whereas [1:20:30] we can see what happened in [1:20:32] Vancouver. We can see the [1:20:33] monster house issue in [1:20:34] Vancouver. We can see what has [1:20:36] happened in other parts, heck, [1:20:38] in Griffintown. We can see what [1:20:39] we don't want. And I would [1:20:42] encourage all of us, citizens [1:20:44] and Council, to make sure we [1:20:45] don't get what we don't want. [1:20:46] And that we get what we do want. [1:20:48] And we have some, hopefully in [1:20:49] the future, we will have some [1:20:50] say over that. That's the point [1:20:53] of the exercise and hopefully we [1:20:54] can pull it off. I can't promise [1:20:56] this, but hopefully we can pull [1:20:58] it off. Councillor Stork? [1:21:06] >> Thanks for letting me talk, [1:21:07] but I will refer to another [1:21:08] point. [1:21:09] >> That's hardly grateful. Holy [1:21:11] smokes. Let's go, Councillor [1:21:14] Stork. [1:21:18] >> To speak to what you are [1:21:20] saying, I think one thing that [1:21:21] is really being overlooked here, [1:21:24] I'm not trying to put Mr. [1:21:26] Weemaes on the spot, but all [1:21:27] residential developments to get [1:21:28] notice. It's part of the [1:21:31] demolition post, it's on the [1:21:32] websites and such, but I think [1:21:34] you are probably referring to [1:21:35] the gas station how you were [1:21:37] informed. For some reason, I [1:21:39] don't know why the provincial [1:21:40] arrangement, commercial projects [1:21:43] do not fundamentally go under [1:21:45] the same pathway. As residential [1:21:50] projects. [1:21:51] >> Okay. [1:21:52] >> So maybe something can be [1:21:53] done, like I did not know when [1:21:55] that project was starting either [1:21:56] until it started. So I think [1:21:58] maybe there should be a broader [1:21:59] scope to open up that element [1:22:02] saying, for commercial projects, [1:22:03] these are the start dates. Maybe [1:22:05] they should be on our website. [1:22:06] I'm not sure what can or can't [1:22:07] be done legally in that respect, [1:22:08] but I think something of that [1:22:11] nature, I'm not trying to put [1:22:12] you on the spot again, Mister [1:22:15] Weemaes, but is there a [1:22:16] reasoning why a lot of [1:22:17] commercial industrial projects [1:22:19] are not discussed in the same [1:22:20] format? One last little thing, [1:22:21] in reference to the dust you [1:22:23] mentioned, that is part of the [1:22:25] Municipal Works permit. So I [1:22:26] would suggest an email in [1:22:31] reference of that, to the Mayor [1:22:32] or both of us, and ask that to [1:22:33] be implemented as part of a -- [1:22:36] Works agreement because it can [1:22:37] be included in terms of dust [1:22:38] mitigation and ailments and [1:22:40] such. That that can happen. Like [1:22:42] when the especially thing [1:22:43] happened at Walton, we changed [1:22:45] the laws to address the [1:22:46] especially stink. Now we have [1:22:48] inspectors going prior. We do [1:22:50] have to adopt. We cannot foresee [1:22:52] everything, but something of [1:22:53] that nature I agree with you, [1:22:54] there should be testament again [1:22:55] issues that is part of the [1:22:57] Municipal Works agreement. Where [1:22:58] the actual contractor, -- the [1:23:00] developer, has to combine [1:23:03] cleaner windows. We have to [1:23:04] start that process. I will ask [1:23:06] myself. Send myself an email, [1:23:08] the mayor in email, and that [1:23:09] should be integrated in our [1:23:11] procedures. [1:23:12] >> Because I have asked the [1:23:16] developers if they would help [1:23:17] and they say it's not their [1:23:18] problem. [1:23:20] >> We sort of expect that [1:23:21] answer. I don't think they go [1:23:23] out of their way to help us per [1:23:24] se, but it's our responsibility [1:23:26] to do what we need to do and [1:23:28] that is what we mandated is part [1:23:29] of the Municipal Works [1:23:31] agreement, to be included. I [1:23:33] think that's a great suggestion. [1:23:36] To Mr. Weemaes Point, I don't [1:23:37] know if there's an answer to [1:23:38] that. [1:23:40] >> The consulting process for [1:23:42] bylaws the same for commercial [1:23:43] and residential. The moment a [1:23:45] city councillor wants the by law [1:23:48] to implement rules or the way [1:23:51] permits are allowed or something [1:23:52] like that, the consulting [1:23:55] process there. But once the [1:23:56] bylaw is adopted and a packable, [1:23:58] when someone comes in to request [1:23:59] a permit, there is no consulting [1:24:03] public there. The requiring has [1:24:07] to comply with the disposition [1:24:08] in the bylaw. He complies if he [1:24:11] has his permit. The law is built [1:24:13] like that. There is no process [1:24:15] where the neighbours can be [1:24:17] consulted and influence the [1:24:19] process and see. That is the way [1:24:23] the laws are set. Would it be [1:24:25] could process? Probably, the [1:24:27] laws are not like that at this [1:24:28] moment. That is the problem. [1:24:29] >> Mr. Weemaes, you're talking [1:24:31] about provincial bylaws like you [1:24:32] said to me in your letter. [1:24:34] >> We are framed by provincial [1:24:35] bylaws. We have no choice. The [1:24:37] city is framed all around by [1:24:39] provincial bylaws. The law says [1:24:42] you can't do that. It's not -- [1:24:44] >> Laws can be changed. [1:24:49] >> That's the provincial law. [1:24:51] >> By citizens and who you vote [1:24:55] for. The provincial level as [1:24:56] well as municipal. It is [1:25:00] decided, a lot of this stuff is [1:25:01] decided at the provincial level. [1:25:02] And it does not hurt to pay [1:25:04] attention at that level as well [1:25:07] regarding municipalities. [1:25:09] Municipalities do, in many ways, [1:25:10] have their hands tied. Not [1:25:12] always, you are right, not [1:25:13] always. That does not exempt us, [1:25:16] but there are certain laws that [1:25:18] are not unsavory, that -- [1:25:22] absolutely. [1:25:23] >> Absolutely. If I might just [1:25:25] ask something about the journal [1:25:26] of Pointe-Claire. People call it [1:25:28] a rag, call it everything. It's [1:25:30] not a rag. It served me very [1:25:33] well personally and my team when [1:25:36] we fought against Brivia. David [1:25:38] is not afraid of anyone. He's [1:25:42] not bought by anyone. He says [1:25:44] what we say, and he prints what [1:25:47] we say. And if people are [1:25:50] offended by it, so be it. For [1:25:52] once, we have media that is not [1:25:56] biased. At least it wasn't for [1:26:01] me. [1:26:03] >> There's a huge number of [1:26:04] Pointe-Claire citizens that [1:26:05] concur, and I would love to do a [1:26:06] survey on that one. Because I [1:26:08] have a sneaking suspicion, and [1:26:12] myself included, and when I was [1:26:14] in Pointe-Claire plaza, the [1:26:15] wrecks of Pointe-Claire journals [1:26:17] disappeared at a more rapid rate [1:26:19] than any other newspaper I have [1:26:20] seen in Pointe-Claire. So allow [1:26:21] me to concur. [1:26:22] >> I will conclude on saying [1:26:24] that the land at the station is [1:26:26] still two feet higher than [1:26:29] ground level previously, and I [1:26:31] was told it's because of the [1:26:33] drainage which I can [1:26:34] acknowledge. I'm a smart woman, [1:26:35] I can understand all that, but [1:26:37] it does not stop my problem. [1:26:40] Now, the headlights will be [1:26:41] right over my fence into my [1:26:42] house. What can the City do to [1:26:48] compensate me? I need a new [1:26:49] fence. As the city ready to [1:26:53] build me a new fence? [1:26:55] >> That's a good question. We [1:26:57] will certainly find out. We will [1:26:59] endeavour and look at the [1:27:00] situation and see if we can. [1:27:01] >> Thank you. [1:27:06] >> 15 minutes left, Mister [1:27:08] Mayor. [1:27:09] >> 15?. Okay. Are there more [1:27:12] downstairs that want to come up? [1:27:15] Are there any others? Are there [1:27:16] any outside? [1:27:24] >> Good evening. My name is [1:27:26] Emily Schell horn, I'm here with [1:27:27] my neighbour. We are both [1:27:31] residents of Glenn Avenue. And [1:27:37] in Miss Homan's District. We are [1:27:40] here to ask the city of [1:27:41] Pointe-Claire to please [1:27:43] prioritize the urgent [1:27:45] installation of a sidewalk on [1:27:47] Belmont avenue between cool [1:27:48] breeze and saddle brook. We are [1:27:53] an active and diverse community, [1:27:56] including elderly citizens and [1:27:57] several very young children, and [1:28:00] road safety must be urgently [1:28:02] improved. This is the only part [1:28:03] of Belmont, which is a 2.3 [1:28:06] kilometer street, without a [1:28:07] sidewalk. It's an S curb [1:28:10] stretch. It is narrow and has [1:28:13] several blind spots and puts [1:28:15] both pedestrians and drivers at [1:28:17] risk. According to the Canadian [1:28:22] council of motor transport [1:28:24] administrators, the presence of [1:28:26] a sidewalk reduces collate -- [1:28:28] risks of collision by 88%. We [1:28:30] are asking that the installation [1:28:31] of the sidewalk on this stretch [1:28:34] be prioritized ahead of the [1:28:36] regular scheduled repaving of [1:28:39] Belmont. We met in June with [1:28:42] Miss Homan and Mr. Tonga, the [1:28:45] director of Public Security, as [1:28:46] we were approximately 30 [1:28:48] residents of the Glenn land [1:28:51] Belmont town house community. [1:28:53] And we discussed various options [1:28:58] and it was determined that [1:28:59] temporary measures are neither [1:29:01] sufficient nor safe, so we were [1:29:05] informed a sidewalk has been [1:29:06] approved by traffic. It is [1:29:08] currently in engineering [1:29:09] committee. But it's not foreseen [1:29:12] for a minimum of 3 to 5 years. [1:29:16] So we are asking for the [1:29:18] prioritization of that. Myself [1:29:20] on a personal level, I have two [1:29:23] toddlers, so there's my [1:29:24] neighbour. I use that stretch [1:29:26] daily sometimes multiple times. [1:29:28] It is the only exit from our [1:29:30] street, because Glenn Lin is a [1:29:32] cul-de-sac, so I have no choice [1:29:35] but to use that stretch and I [1:29:38] have multiple close -- close [1:29:39] calls a week where a driver does [1:29:41] not see us because I'm hugging [1:29:43] the curve because we are already [1:29:45] afraid. When a driver does not [1:29:49] see us because of the blind [1:29:50] spots, and in the winter it's [1:29:51] even worse with the accumulation [1:29:53] of snow. We have elderly [1:29:54] neighbours that have told us [1:29:55] they have been heckled at when [1:29:56] they are walking to their [1:29:58] mailbox uncle breeze, they have [1:29:59] no choice but to go on that [1:30:00] stretch, I called it by drivers [1:30:01] to get off the road. [1:33:48] Bonsoir. [1:33:52] - J'espère que ça va être [1:33:54] correct ce soir que je fasse ma [1:33:56] présentation en anglais? Merci [1:33:57] beaucoup. [1:34:57] - Madame Thibault. [1:44:14] Okay, let's go. [1:44:17] >> Good evening. My name is -- [1:44:21] and I live in Maywood, district [1:44:22] 7. I am here and I'm listening [1:44:27] to everybody who's complaining, [1:44:29] and so many negative complaints, [1:44:31] and some positive complaints. [1:44:35] Somewhat I wish really for [1:44:37] everybody, just to be respectful [1:44:40] and try to work with you as a [1:44:43] new mayor, with a new vision, [1:44:46] for the environment, for [1:44:52] transparency, for the plan which [1:44:54] you Rotrand are running on. My [1:44:59] value really is when you see [1:45:01] something wrong, or something [1:45:03] dangerous, you have three [1:45:04] options to do. Physically you [1:45:11] can help to solve it. The second [1:45:15] option is you can talk and try [1:45:18] to help solve the problem. The [1:45:20] third one, if you are not able [1:45:21] to do those two, you pray for [1:45:24] those people to do the right [1:45:25] thing. So that's why I'm here [1:45:32] for the future of young [1:45:37] families, and the future what [1:45:39] kids, your grandkids, and your [1:45:42] kids what is coming. What you [1:45:48] are doing, just try to build [1:45:50] high-rise buildings and condo, [1:45:53] that is not, you need green [1:45:55] house, affordable single housing [1:45:59] for the young family and future [1:46:02] generation. Are you working in [1:46:05] that, or just high rise building [1:46:09] and condo? I want to ask all the [1:46:14] City Councillors for that. [1:46:16] >> Just to expedite, because we [1:46:18] don't have time for everyone to [1:46:19] go through, but we are in the [1:46:22] middle of a very positive [1:46:24] process where we are we [1:46:27] evaluating how our urban plan [1:46:28] going forward and we've had a [1:46:30] couple of positive meetings and [1:46:32] those are concerns that we are [1:46:35] taking into consideration. [1:46:48] >> That is what they write in [1:46:50] the newspaper. [1:46:51] >> What did I write, sir? [1:46:55] >> Not you, I said you support [1:46:58] each other for high rise [1:47:00] building. And you are always [1:47:02] working together. [1:47:03] >> Councillor Stork, can we let [1:47:04] him finish and then respond? [1:47:06] >> Yeah, because the three of [1:47:11] you, you and him, and Tara, you [1:47:15] are in the chalet and the [1:47:20] majority of people did not want [1:47:23] any high rise building or condo. [1:47:25] And that is what you support in [1:47:28] the newspaper. He wants to go [1:47:33] ahead with Fairview Cadillac, or [1:47:36] Cadillac Fairview, and so that [1:47:38] is what I'm trying to say. Has a [1:47:41] new mayor, but the old [1:47:44] Councillor, the previous Mayor, [1:47:46] I see always was in line with [1:47:50] the -- now you are not helping. [1:47:55] So what do you do to help? [1:47:57] >> With all due respect, sir. [1:47:59] That remains to be seen. We are [1:48:01] doing and RCI. We will see with [1:48:02] the end result will be. [1:48:03] Hopefully it won't. I mean, you [1:48:05] know my vision. Hopefully it [1:48:06] won't be high-rise buildings. [1:48:09] It's when I ran against. I [1:48:11] believe won't be. But we will [1:48:13] see, we are in a process where [1:48:16] we are, as a Council, working on [1:48:19] the issue. So we have to see [1:48:22] where we get before we get too [1:48:23] angry at people. We have to see [1:48:26] what the result will be. We [1:48:28] cannot preclude or think the [1:48:29] result will be something until [1:48:30] we go through the process. So [1:48:34] maybe, I hear what you are [1:48:36] saying, I commiserate. I mean, [1:48:38] I'm an opponent of intensifying [1:48:41] with duplexes, triplexes, semi [1:48:44] detached town houses. Not [1:48:46] height, I agree with you, we [1:48:48] have over done it in our city. [1:48:50] >> It is the right thing, sir. [1:48:51] >> I agree, but give us a chance [1:48:53] and we may get there. Who knows? [1:48:55] >> Okay, so what can we help for [1:48:57] those city councillors to [1:48:59] convince them? [1:49:00] >> Is this in order, please?? [1:49:04] Can I have a comment from legal [1:49:05] to corporate -- departments, [1:49:06] please? [1:49:09] >> Councillor Stork, you're not [1:49:10] accused of everything. [1:49:11] >> I'm not going to sit here. [1:49:14] >> He's a citizen asking a [1:49:17] question. [1:49:18] [inaudible] [1:49:19] >> Sir, with all due respect, we [1:49:21] have touched fairly and evenly. [1:49:23] >> I'm saying the true. [1:49:25] >> Let's just leave it at that. [1:49:26] We've done very well, let's just [1:49:28] leave it at that. I have [1:49:31] responded that going forward we [1:49:32] don't know what the outcome will [1:49:33] be, so we cannot predict it, so [1:49:35] let's see what the result will [1:49:37] be. Let's see where we end up. [1:49:40] We have been in some positive [1:49:42] meetings, and who knows what the [1:49:43] end result will be? We cannot [1:49:46] forecast gloom and doom. It [1:49:47] might be good. We don't know [1:49:48] that. [1:49:49] >> Thank you for always writing [1:49:50] in the newspaper, and we [1:49:52] appreciate it. [1:49:53] >> Thank you very much. [1:49:54] >> I know some people they don't [1:49:55] like it, but they don't like the [1:49:56] truth. What we like to hear and [1:49:58] see everybody what you are [1:49:59] writing. And now the third [1:50:01] option. [1:50:02] >> I'm not writing [1:50:04] unfortunately. I'm not allowed. [1:50:05] Could I pass on to the next one? [1:50:08] >> The last option for me, I [1:50:10] have to pray for all of you, [1:50:13] wish you well, and to do the [1:50:14] right thing for the next [1:50:16] generation. [1:50:17] >> Thank. You [1:50:18] >> Know that less you, all of [1:50:19] you, and to work together. [1:50:20] >> Thank. You [1:50:21] >> Thank you. [1:50:24] >> Thank you, Eric. [1:50:28] >> [1:50:29] - Bonjour, Caroline bonjour, [1:50:31] district un. Good evening, [1:50:33] councillors. I spoke at the last [1:50:35] council meeting to outline the [1:50:38] reasons why the Council should [1:50:43] keep 275 and 325 Hymus in the [1:50:44] ICB, unfortunately I was not [1:50:46] successful. I'm extremely [1:50:49] disappointed that the motion [1:50:50] passed, not only because Hymus [1:50:52] west is becoming our very own [1:50:55] Griffintown, and a permanent [1:50:56] scar on our city, and will [1:50:58] likely become an example for [1:50:59] other suburbs on how not to [1:51:01] develop. But also because the [1:51:03] majority of you campaigned and [1:51:05] were vocal against excess [1:51:08] development and densification. [1:51:09] You also accused the last [1:51:11] administration of approving [1:51:13] developments without vision when [1:51:14] speaking of the blast Frontenac [1:51:16] development, a development which [1:51:18] some of you voted against. You [1:51:20] were elected and won your seats [1:51:21] on that platform, and the voters [1:51:23] are counting on you to act on [1:51:25] your commitment and to allow [1:51:27] your constituents to be [1:51:30] consulted on the vision before [1:51:31] any more developments are [1:51:32] approved to be removed from the [1:51:35] icy be. I am very puzzled by the [1:51:37] reversal of the position of [1:51:38] those councillors who ran on [1:51:40] your platform of pausing runway [1:51:42] development and allowing [1:51:43] citizens to be consulted, get [1:51:45] voted in favour of removing 275 [1:51:49] and 325 Hymus. I'm even more [1:51:52] shocked from the motion from [1:51:54] Councillor Cowan to melt the [1:51:55] motion and also exclude [1:51:56] Greenwich and the Catholic [1:52:00] Fairview projects from the ICB. [1:52:02] Councillor Cowan, two months [1:52:03] before the election you ranted [1:52:05] against increasing densification [1:52:07] of Pointe-Claire following the [1:52:11] approval of the class Frontenac [1:52:12] project. I think someone already [1:52:14] quoted you, when the council was [1:52:16] elected, our population was just [1:52:18] over 32,000. The Cadillac [1:52:19] Fairview development concept [1:52:21] alone calls for an additional [1:52:23] 5000 department units. Where are [1:52:25] we headed? And eventual [1:52:27] population of 40, 50, 60,000? [1:52:29] This city is without vision. And [1:52:30] quote. Yet at the last meeting, [1:52:33] you wanted to remove the [1:52:34] Cadillac Fairview and Greenwich [1:52:37] projects from the ICB. Two [1:52:39] monstrous projects that would [1:52:40] greatly increase the density and [1:52:42] population of Pointe-Claire. At [1:52:44] 24 storeys, the Cadillac [1:52:45] Fairview project is the same [1:52:46] height as the sunlight building [1:52:48] downtown. I'm not sure if any of [1:52:50] you have seen that building, but [1:52:51] it's big even by Downtown [1:52:53] standards. If that were to be [1:52:56] built and the Fairview parking [1:52:57] lot, it would probably be seen [1:52:59] as far away as Hudson, and [1:53:00] completely out of place. And a [1:53:01] reminder for the next generation [1:53:03] of how Pointe-Claire council [1:53:04] dropped the ball in allowing its [1:53:06] development to proceed. It would [1:53:08] be a huge embarrassment for the [1:53:11] city and I'm truly puzzled by [1:53:14] your about-face on this campaign [1:53:15] promise. To then have Councillor [1:53:19] Stork, Thorstad-Cullen, and [1:53:22] Cowan citing for his bravery? I [1:53:24] don't think the citizens of [1:53:25] Pointe-Claire would cite him as [1:53:27] bravery. I would characterize it [1:53:29] as dishonest and a betrayal. [1:53:31] Using an excuse at the [1:53:32] consultation process is not [1:53:33] moving quickly enough as a [1:53:35] justification to ban developers [1:53:37] and exclude Pointe-Claire [1:53:40] residents from any consultation [1:53:41] is duplicitous behaviour. I also [1:53:43] think it is critical when [1:53:44] important issues such as these [1:53:45] are voted on by Council, that [1:53:47] all councillors vote on these [1:53:48] important issues, and if they [1:53:49] cannot make the meeting, have [1:53:51] them attend by phone or vote by [1:53:52] proxy like most boards do. This [1:53:54] will give a voice to all [1:53:56] Pointe-Claire -- residents. [1:53:58] Councillors, you were elected on [1:53:59] a clear mandate to stop runway [1:54:01] development and to consult with [1:54:02] citizens on the vision for the [1:54:04] future of Pointe-Claire. You do [1:54:06] not have a mandate to exclude [1:54:07] certain pet projects from the [1:54:10] consultation process. So I [1:54:11] caution you to remember and [1:54:12] honour your campaign promises. [1:54:15] If you are looking to retain [1:54:16] your seat in the next election. [1:54:18] Actions speak louder than words, [1:54:20] and the voters will remember how [1:54:22] you represented them and whether [1:54:23] you can be trusted to deliver on [1:54:26] you promise. In the last [1:54:27] election, Pointe-Claire voters [1:54:29] turfed the mayor and two [1:54:30] councillors, and we won't [1:54:31] hesitate to do it again. When [1:54:34] councillors are not acting with [1:54:35] accordance in their promises. [1:54:37] Things have changed in [1:54:38] Pointe-Claire, and residents are [1:54:39] not happy with the pace and [1:54:40] scale of development, and are [1:54:41] watching and noting what [1:54:43] councillors are doing. So my ask [1:54:45] of you today, is three. Things [1:54:50] put 275 and 325 Hymus projects [1:54:51] back into the ICB, which means [1:54:53] putting it to vote at the next [1:54:55] council meeting. We checked the [1:54:57] demolition request for 275 and [1:55:00] 325 Hymus. And finally, change [1:55:02] the rules to allow Councillors [1:55:04] to -- who are absent from the [1:55:06] boat to attend by phone or vote [1:55:09] by proxy so their constituents [1:55:10] can have a second about and know [1:55:12] where they stand. Thank you. [1:55:15] >> Yes, Councillor Stork? [1:55:18] >> Your point number three I [1:55:19] fully agree with. Presents a [1:55:22] proxies I think is important. In [1:55:24] reference to 275, maybe some [1:55:27] people don't know this, and it's [1:55:30] important for all of you to [1:55:31] know, and this is true, this is [1:55:32] real, this is not doublespeak. [1:55:37] Even if we put them back in the [1:55:39] ICB, regardless of how we rezone [1:55:43] them, that zone park, to two [1:55:49] storeys, to a school, once the [1:55:51] ICB is over it will still be [1:55:54] judged on. It will still be [1:55:57] based upon the zoning prior [1:55:58] before the implementation of the [1:56:00] ICB. That is clear. So my reason [1:56:05] for supporting, protecting them [1:56:06] out, please because regardless [1:56:08] of the outcome of this ICB, they [1:56:09] will be judged upon, reviewed [1:56:12] upon, and decided upon. The [1:56:16] zoning bylaws that were prior to [1:56:17] the implementation of the ICB. [1:56:20] So why would we allow people to [1:56:22] go on for one, two, whatever the [1:56:24] process might take, we should [1:56:25] address them now and if we are [1:56:27] in support of it, we are in [1:56:28] support of it. If we are against [1:56:29] it we are against it. But that [1:56:31] is the fundamental reason why, [1:56:32] and I think it's very clear that [1:56:33] it would be unfair. Once again, [1:56:36] even if we were to change the [1:56:38] zoning in that area now, those [1:56:39] two projects would still be [1:56:43] decided upon according to the [1:56:44] zoning bylaws before the [1:56:47] implementation of the ICB. That [1:56:50] is very clear to me and that is [1:56:52] my justification. [1:56:53] >> Okay. [1:56:54] >> Thank you. [1:56:55] >> Sir? [1:56:57] >> Actually Mr. Stork, I [1:57:01] disagree with that last [1:57:02] statement that you said,. You [1:57:06] have the ability you put it in a [1:57:10] freeze and come out with a new [1:57:11] policy on how things will be [1:57:13] developed and how they will grow [1:57:14] and develop. Everything comes [1:57:18] with that. Otherwise, anybody [1:57:20] could do anything afterwards. [1:57:22] The projects have not been [1:57:23] built. Okay? They have not been [1:57:25] built, they have not been built, [1:57:27] they can be changed, and they [1:57:29] were all subject to the law, [1:57:34] what's the city of Pointe-Claire [1:57:35] wants to have done. So I'm very [1:57:38] much and disagreement. Many [1:57:44] other lawyers will also stand up [1:57:45] and give another stint -- [1:57:47] statement that will contradict [1:57:48] which you are going to say. [1:57:50] That's with the law is all [1:57:51] about, and I disagree with it. [1:57:52] The point I wanted to make [1:57:54] anyway, is I have supported many [1:57:57] of the points that have been [1:57:58] raised here tonight on the [1:57:59] development, and also keeping [1:58:01] the buildings in the freeze, [1:58:02] they should stay in the freeze. [1:58:06] Hymus is really starting to look [1:58:07] like a mess. If you drive along [1:58:09] -- I welcome you to drive along [1:58:11] Hymus and see those two new [1:58:13] apartment buildings that have [1:58:14] been built, and try to enter [1:58:16] into them. You know, it's like [1:58:20] trying to drive into your own [1:58:22] little laneway. But actually, [1:58:23] it's even worse now because the [1:58:25] laneway goes down and you can't [1:58:26] see what's around there. So the [1:58:28] cars going in there, you are [1:58:29] looking, they are just terrible [1:58:31] to see how they don't have any [1:58:34] room to move into the spot. [1:58:38] Unlike Cambridge where you can [1:58:39] drive in and see when there is [1:58:41] not another car. You can't do [1:58:42] that for these two new latest [1:58:45] apartment buildings. I walk [1:58:46] along there, I see it, it's [1:58:47] dangerous. It is dangerous. And [1:58:49] the new buildings that are being [1:58:52] built, that you are projecting, [1:58:54] the densification is too much. [1:58:56] It's just too much. You need [1:58:58] more space between the [1:58:59] buildings. I'm embarrassed to be [1:59:04] living on that street now, to [1:59:05] know what it's going to look [1:59:06] like in the future. If you [1:59:08] people continue along to go [1:59:11] against what you said you were [1:59:12] going to bring in change and the [1:59:13] like, and we don't see it, and [1:59:16] the optics are not good. And we [1:59:19] will remember how people have [1:59:20] voted for it, so I'm very much [1:59:24] wanting to make sure the [1:59:25] buildings are staying in the [1:59:26] freeze and permits are not given [1:59:27] out for them to go ahead. And [1:59:30] one last thing as well, even the [1:59:32] trees I saw planted on this [1:59:35] latest one, there's probably [1:59:37] about six inches where these [1:59:40] trees are planted. They will [1:59:42] grow big and get blown over [1:59:43] because they need routes to go [1:59:44] down, but there's no roots [1:59:46] there. There is no routes. You [1:59:49] have about six inches of [1:59:51] topsoil, and the trees planted [1:59:53] in that. How long will that tree [1:59:56] last? Anyway, that's just a [1:59:59] small point, but the access to [2:00:00] these things, students. You guys [2:00:02] have to take a better look at [2:00:03] it. And I mentioned I understand [2:00:07] a lot of the things that go into [2:00:08] that. Thank you very much. Thank [2:00:10] you for the good points beanie [2:00:11] -- that have been raised by many [2:00:14] of the people here in the [2:00:15] audience tonight. They are [2:00:17] valuable contributions. Thank [2:00:18] you. [2:00:32] Michel Desbiens, Monsieur le [2:00:34] Maire, j'aurais une question [2:00:36] pour la fin. Vous n'avez pas [2:00:38] besoin de répondre. J'ai [2:00:44] travaillé dans quatre villes [2:00:46] pendant les derniers 45 ans que [2:00:48] je demeure à Pointe-Claire. [2:00:52] Savez-vous pourquoi je demeure à [2:00:53] Pointe-Claire? Vous avez la [2:00:55] meilleure ville à administrer et [2:00:56] que moi je connais. Vous avez [2:01:00] toute ma sympathie de voir [2:01:02] comment vous êtes reçue [2:01:03] (---) [2:01:04] . Si j'étais à votre place, je [2:01:06] serais découragé. Je ne veux pas [2:01:08] que vous vous découragez. Il y a [2:01:10] des leaders parmi vous. Vous [2:01:17] devez trouver une stratégie [2:01:18] entre vous. Vous avez une très [2:01:21] belle ville à administrer, [2:01:23] Mesdames et Messieurs. Ne lâchez [2:01:24] pas! La question que j'aimerais [2:01:29] vous poser. Je me le posé. Je [2:01:32] vais les poser. Comment ça se [2:01:34] fait-il qu'à Pointe-Claire on [2:01:36] n'a pas les problèmes qu'ils ont [2:01:38] à Montréal Nord? Quand vous [2:01:40] répondrez la question, vous ne [2:01:43] poserait plus de questions [2:01:44] pourquoi vous vivez à [2:01:45] Pointe-Claire. Je vous remercie. [2:01:46] Bonne soirée. [2:01:48] - Je peux répondre. On est bien [2:01:51] différent que Montréal-Nord. On [2:01:53] a commencé avec une vision [2:01:56] (inaudible) [2:01:57] (---) [2:01:58] . On a fait un plan pour la [2:02:01] ville qui était super bon. [2:02:49] J'ai choisi Pointe-Claire à [2:02:50] cause de mes enfants. Et la [2:02:53] qualité de vie, c'est super. [2:03:00] - Pourquoi c'est une super six [2:03:01] villes? [2:03:49] - À ce qu'il y a quelqu'un qui [2:03:50] parle? [2:04:00] - Est-ce que c'est une bonne? [2:04:01] Réponse [2:04:02] - J'ai un souhait: ne lâchées [2:04:03] pas mesdames et messieurs! Il y [2:04:06] a beaucoup de contestations. En [2:04:09] 45 ans, c'est la première fois [2:04:11] que je vais au conseil. Ce sont [2:04:14] les trois derniers mois. Ce que [2:04:15] je vois, je ne l'aime pas. Je [2:04:18] vais vous encourager à [2:04:21] continuer. On vous a choisi pour [2:04:23] administrer Pointe-Claire. Vous [2:04:25] avez une maudite belle ville [2:04:27] administrée. J'ai travaillé dans [2:04:28] quatre villes, je les connais. [2:04:32] - Merci, Messieurs. [2:04:33] - Ne lâchait pas! Essayez de [2:04:36] vous trouver une stratégie [2:04:37] ensemble pour travailler. Les [2:04:39] gens, s'ils ont des raisons, ils [2:04:41] sont habitués d'une certaine [2:04:43] façon. Ça a changé dans les [2:04:45] dernières années. C'est ça. Ils [2:04:47] ne sont pas capables de [2:04:48] s'habituer. Ils voudraient avoir [2:04:50] peut-être de meilleures [2:04:52] communications, une meilleure [2:04:53] stratégie de votre part. C'est à [2:04:54] vous à la trouver. Je vous [2:04:56] souhaite de la trouver. [2:04:57] - Merci, Monsieur. [2:05:00] - Bonsoir. [2:05:01] - C'est très gentil, merci [2:05:02] beaucoup. [2:05:07] Désolé. [2:05:25] - [2:05:26] Pour les points 10.01., 10.02.. [2:05:31] Le conseil municipal doit-là [2:05:33] entendre l'appel important sur [2:05:36] le comité de démolition [2:05:38] concernant le 275 boulevard [2:05:41] Hymus, 375, 327. Le 26 mai 2022, [2:05:47] le Comité de démolition se [2:05:49] réunit pour étudier la demande [2:05:52] de démolition et de [2:05:55] reconstruction pour ces deux [2:05:56] adresses. Oui au 275, boulevard, [2:06:03] le comité a autorisé la [2:06:06] démolition et le programme de [2:06:07] réutilisation du sol [2:06:08] (---) [2:06:09] . Pour le 325, 327 boulevard [2:06:13] Hymus, le comité à autoriser la [2:06:16] démolition et refuser le [2:06:17] programme de réutilisation du [2:06:19] sol dégagé. Toute personne [2:06:24] intéressée pouvait dans les 30 [2:06:26] jours de la décision du comité [2:06:28] faire appel de cette décision [2:06:30] par écrit auprès du Service des [2:06:32] affaires juridiques. [2:06:36] Des demandes d'appel de la [2:06:38] décision ont été reçus pour ces [2:06:40] deux propriétés. Ces deux [2:06:44] adresses ont été retirés du [2:06:45] règlement du contrôle [2:06:47] intérimaire, RCI, le gel [2:06:49] temporaire pour la réalisation [2:06:51] du nouveau projet pour certains [2:06:52] secteurs de la ville. [2:08:09] Madame Thibault? [2:08:13] - 10.01. Appel portant sur la [2:08:14] décision du comité de démolition [2:08:15] concernant l'approbation de la [2:08:16] démolition et du programme de [2:08:17] réutilisation du sol visant [2:08:18] l'immeuble situé au 275, [2:08:19] boulevard Hymus. [2:09:42] Je suis d'accord avec la [2:09:43] décision du comité. [2:15:57] - O.K., 10.02. [2:18:58] - Madame Thibault, je vous [2:18:59] attends. [2:19:27] -, O.K. 10.03. [2:19:30] - Adoption d'un règlement [2:19:31] abrogeant le Règlement PC-2917 [2:19:32] modifiant diverses dispositions [2:19:33] des règlements municipaux de la [2:19:34] Ville de Pointe-Claire dans le [2:19:35] cadre de l'état d'urgence [2:19:36] sanitaire décrétée par le [2:19:37] gouvernement du Québec. En mai [2:19:39] de 1020, suite à la déclaration [2:19:40] de l'état d'urgence sanitaire [2:19:41] décrétée par le gouvernement du [2:19:42] Québec, la Ville de [2:19:44] Pointe-Claire à adopter le [2:19:46] règlement 29. 17 qui visait à [2:19:49] prolonger certains délais [2:19:50] applicable dans la [2:19:51] réglementation de la ville. La [2:19:52] levée de l'état d'urgence le 1er [2:19:53] juin dernier fait en sorte que [2:19:54] ce règlement n'a plus d'utilité, [2:19:56] n'est plus applicable, en [2:19:58] conséquence, il est recommandé [2:19:59] de l'approcher. L'abroger. [2:20:06] - 10.04., Je pense? [2:20:23] 10.04.? Oui [2:20:42] 10.05. Considérer les plans [2:20:43] d'implantation et d'intégration [2:20:44] architecturale relatifs aux [2:20:45] propriétés mentionnées [2:20:46] ci-dessous: - 148, avenue de [2:20:47] Windward Crescent; c'est la [2:20:53] construction d'un [2:20:54] agrandissement. - 51, avenue [2:20:57] Summerhill construction d'une [2:20:58] véranda; - 43, avenue King [2:21:02] agrandissement de l'entrée [2:21:03] charretière.; - 6701, autoroute [2:21:07] Transcanadienne un [2:21:08] agrandissement.; - 44, avenue [2:21:09] Drayton. Un agrandissement. [2:22:54] Bon, 10.06.? [2:23:09] C'est juste des commentaires. [2:24:04] 10.07. [2:24:51] Les personnes présentes peuvent [2:24:52] s'adresser au conseil concernant [2:24:53] les sujets ci-dessous pour les [2:24:54] items 10.07 à 10.12: [2:25:05] - Oui? [2:25:13] 10.07. Considérer une demande de [2:25:14] dérogation mineure pour [2:25:15] permettre au 12A, avenue Bowling [2:25:18] Green une remise de jardin avec [2:25:19] un taux d'implantation de 22,11% [2:25:23] plutôt que le maximum permis de [2:25:24] 20%. [2:31:41] - Bonsoir tout le monde. [2:46:59] - Considérez-vous avant de [2:47:00] dérogation mineure... [2:47:09] c'était un refus, mais [2:47:10] c'était... [2:47:11] (inaudible) [2:47:14] si juste les propriétaires, que [2:47:15] je pourrais parler de mon [2:47:16] projet? [2:47:21] - C'est trop tard, mais bon, je [2:47:22] vais laisser le président de [2:47:23] l'Assemblée... [2:47:25] - Rapidement, peut-être? [2:47:32] - Nous habitons. Mon nom est [2:47:34] Valérie Tardif. On habite sur [2:47:35] Boeing Greene, ou les [2:47:36] restrictions, les terrains [2:47:37] historiquement sont très grands. [2:47:39] Sur bowling Green. Alors c'est [2:47:43] pour ça qu'il y avait un [2:47:44] pourcentage prévu qui est un peu [2:47:45] moindre, sur cette rue-là, pour [2:47:46] les... les édifices secondaires. [2:47:50] En fait, les cabanons, alors [2:47:56] parce qu'qu'il y a des [2:47:57] (---) [2:47:58] de 4000 pieds carrés, et on [2:47:59] voulait éviter qu'il y ait des [2:48:01] cabanons qui soient immenses, [2:48:02] notre terrain fait partie, c'est [2:48:03] une maison qui a été bâtie en [2:48:05] 1964, le plus loin à peu près de [2:48:06] l'eau. Qui a été bâtie sur une [2:48:11] subdivision de la maison qui [2:48:12] était à côté. Notre terrain de [2:48:14] 7000 pieds carrés. Donc en [2:48:18] demandant la dérogation, [2:48:20] essentiellement, on demande qui [2:48:24] respecte les normes de partout [2:48:25] ailleurs à Pointe-Claire, avec [2:48:31] des terrains qui sont similaires [2:48:33] en fait de superficie, donc ça [2:48:35] revient à avoir la même grandeur [2:48:37] de cabanons que partout [2:48:38] ailleurs, et comme je disais, la [2:48:39] raison pour laquelle le [2:48:41] pourcentage est plus bas sur [2:48:43] cette rue, c'est en raison des [2:48:44] très grands terrains qui étaient [2:48:45] là à l'époque. Notre terrain [2:48:49] environ 7000 pieds carrés, donc [2:48:50] quand on parle du faible [2:48:51] pourcentage, pour nous, ça fait [2:48:52] quand même une petite différence [2:48:53] de quelques pieds. On a deux [2:48:54] enfants, des bicyclettes. Tout [2:48:57] le tralala qu'on a. Et puis on [2:49:01] n'a pas un immense maison aussi, [2:49:02] sur bowling Green. Donc ce [2:49:06] serait bien pratique pour nous, [2:49:07] et ce n'est pas une énorme [2:49:08] différence avec ce qu'il y a sur [2:49:14] bowling Green, de un, dû au fait [2:49:15] que notre terrain est beaucoup [2:49:16] plus petit proportionnellement [2:49:17] parlant, et dans un deuxième [2:49:19] temps, on est dans le respect, [2:49:21] si on, veut de l'idéologie [2:49:24] derrière ces règles-là si on [2:49:26] regarde les règles pour le reste [2:49:27] des maisons à Pointe-Claire. [2:49:29] Alors je voulais apporter ces [2:49:30] précisions-là qui sont quand [2:49:31] même importantes. Si j'avais un [2:49:34] terrain de 30000 pieds carrés, [2:49:35] ça serait un cabanon [2:49:36] complètement énorme. Mais ce [2:49:37] n'est pas le temps, dans notre, [2:49:39] dans le cas de notre propriété. [2:49:42] - Merci. Monsieur? Non, non, [2:49:45] Monsieur, vous être contre ça? [2:49:48] - Non, je suis le 1009. Vous [2:49:52] venez dire que [2:49:53] (inaudible) [2:49:54] ? [2:49:55] - Alors je demanderais au [2:49:56] Conseil de reconsidérer le vote. [2:49:58] Je ne sais pas si vous allez [2:49:59] changer votre vote suite à mes [2:50:00] explications. Qui clarifie, à [2:50:02] mon avis, la situation. Alors [2:50:05] j'ai demandé au Conseil de [2:50:06] reconsidérer le vote, étant [2:50:07] donné mes explications. [2:50:09] - Qu'est-ce qu'on peut faire, [2:50:10] Madame Thibault? [2:50:26] - Je veux juste apporter à [2:50:28] l'attention, mon nom est Jacques [2:50:29] Drouin. 93, avenue Elgin, à [2:50:31] Pointe-Claire. Mon voisinage a [2:50:35] été avisée de tout ça. Il n'y a [2:50:39] pas personne qui a émis un quoi [2:50:41] que ce soit comme problème au [2:50:44] niveau de ça. Je suis à un coin [2:50:46] de rue. La maison, la manière [2:50:50] dont il est bâti, il n'y a pas [2:50:54] grand option autre que celle [2:50:55] qu'on a. La raison, je ne ferai [2:50:59] pas brailler personne, la raison [2:51:01] pour laquelle on demande cette [2:51:04] dérogation-là, mineur, c'est [2:51:05] pour nous permettre de rester [2:51:06] là. J'ai malheureusement eu la [2:51:07] COVID. J'ai été 119 jours [2:51:10] hospitalisé. Je suis maintenant [2:51:13] un petit peu plus diminuer, [2:51:14] physiquement. Je n'ai pas de [2:51:16] salle de bains à l'étage. Moi, [2:51:18] ma salle de lavage et dans la [2:51:19] cave. Nous affaire de cannage et [2:51:23] de... tout est dans la cave. Mon [2:51:28] épouse est obligé de me donner [2:51:29] un bon coup de main pour ça. [2:51:31] Alors la raison pour laquelle on [2:51:33] demande cette dérogation [2:51:34] mineure-là, c'est pour nous [2:51:36] permettre, parce qu'on aime ça, [2:51:37] Pointe-Claire. C'est pour nous [2:51:39] permettre de rester ici! Et de [2:51:43] continuer à faire notre vie. Ça [2:51:46] fait 43 ans que je demeure au 93 [2:51:47] avenue Elgin. Probablement plus [2:51:48] que bien du monde ici. 43 ans! [2:51:53] Alors, quand on est arrivé là, [2:51:55] pas d'enfants, on a deux [2:51:56] enfants. J'en ai un de 41 de 38. [2:51:59] Alors ils ont tous vécu ça ici. [2:52:02] C'est pour ça qu'on veut rester [2:52:03] là. Alors, si j'avais eu des [2:52:07] voisins qui s'y étaient opposés, [2:52:08] je pourrais comprendre ça. Je [2:52:10] n'ai pas de voisins qui [2:52:11] s'opposent. J'ai même une lettre [2:52:12] de la personne qui est le plus [2:52:13] touché par ça. Dans le dossier. [2:52:16] Qui, elle, dit: il n'y a pas de [2:52:17] problème, là. Vas-y. Alors je ne [2:52:23] comprends pas la logique de ça. [2:52:26] Alors je vous demande de réviser [2:52:27] votre vote. Merci. [2:52:31] - Si je suis capable, la raison [2:52:33] pour ça qu'il n'y a pas [2:52:36] d'inquiétudes avec votre [2:52:37] proposition.

Alors ça, c'est une grosse [2:52:55] inquiétude pour [2:52:56] (---) [2:52:57] . Mais après ce soir, nous [2:52:58] serons capables de discuter... [2:53:01] - Je veux juste vous dire que [2:53:02] quand on retarde un mois, je ne [2:53:05] peux pas, j'ai un constructeur. [2:53:08] Mais je ne peux pas l'engager [2:53:12] tant que je n'ai pas le hockey [2:53:13] de la ville. Parce que je veux [2:53:14] faire les choses correctement. [2:53:15] Et là, ce que vous faites, vous [2:53:16] êtes en train de me reculer pour [2:53:17] le printemps. Mon état n'est pas [2:53:22] celui normale que j'ai vécue il [2:53:23] y a 2 ans. Je les, je l'ai eu, [2:53:26] je la traîne. J'essaie [2:53:28] simplement d'améliorer mon sort. [2:53:32] Mes voisins n'ont pas protesté. [2:53:33] Alors je ne comprends pas que [2:53:35] vous, qui est tout près de chez [2:53:38] nous, qui connaissent exactement [2:53:40] le coin... [2:53:41] - Mais, mais, mais... [2:53:44] - Vous connaissez le coin. [2:53:45] - Exactement, exactement. [2:53:47] - Si vous regardez les plans, on [2:53:48] ne nuit pas à personne. Alors je [2:53:51] retrouve la situation un [2:53:54] peut-être, pour vous autres, [2:53:55] administrativement, bien [2:53:56] correct. Mais humainement... ce [2:53:57] n'est pas bon. Merci.
