00:00:27,642 --> 00:00:33,406

firefighters and police officers in attendance.

00:00:45,752 --> 00:00:49,722
The event also marked the launch of Emergency
Preparedness Week, a first in

5
00:00:49,722 --> 00:00:54,727
Pointe Claire. It is an opportunity to remind
everyone that safety is shared.

6
00:00:54,727 --> 00:01:02,000
Responsibility this week aims to rise. Awareness
about the risks in our community and

7
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:08,000

dans l'environnement tranquille. So

11
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:41,000
the idea of those meet and greets was to be
singing in an environment where we could have

12
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:47,000
a relaxed conversation and hear your needs
and your concerns. And like I said, we had
as low

13
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:52,000
as only well, the smallest one was 45 people
and the biggest one we had 110. So it was great

14
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:56,000
participation of all the districts and the
citizens. We'll be doing it again in the

15
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:01,000
fall will be an annual thing that we'll do
twice a year. And I just want to congratulate
you

are very, very popular day. And they bring

30
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:36,000
This evening, we are presenting a draft bylaw
aimed at supporting you in adopting your.

31
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:41,000
Adopting your properties and improving stormwater
management. This is one of the measures

32
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:46,000
that the Council and the administration have
implemented to help better adapt our living

33
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:53,000
environments to climate change and build greater
resilience. An. Anti-Violence. Some impact

34
00:03:53,000 --> 00:04:01,000
the. The. Fort Myers Portage no Monsieur de
vie. So working together in these. With the

35
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:05,000
climate change and doing the right things with
the help that we're going to be offering

36
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:12,000
tonight and the bylaw will be passing will,
will facilitate and hopefully relieve a lot
of

37
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:20,000
the problems that we've had with the heavy
rainfalls. Before I go to asking the

38
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:25,000
councilors to say what they have to say, I'd
just like to apologize for last public

39
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:31,000
meeting. We had some confusion. Mr. Suszynski
was asked if he could speak what she's actually

40
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:37,000
allowed to speak. And in our bylaw, we have
a ten minute time that we allow for each

41
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:42,000
councilor to speak on certain subjects. And
I was asked to ask Mr. Suszynski or was told

42
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:48,000
as his ten minutes had come up, I didn't have
a watch on. So I asked him to to please come
to

43
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:53,000
to finalize a statement. He continued. I asked
him to please stop and he did stop.

44
00:04:53,000 --> 00:05:00,000
And in review of the video, he had eight minutes
and 20s that he spoke. So I apologize, Mr.

45
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:06,000
Suszynski, for cutting you off. And as we all
heard here, we will have a watch on the clock

46
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:10,000
going. We'll make sure that you get your allotted
ten minutes. All right. Thank you very much.

47
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:14,000
Sorry. Mr. >> Thank you, Mr. Mayor. >> Okay.
Let's go to Mr. Eric

48
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:26,000
Stork, please. Any. >> Really not much to say.
For the meet and greet? I think it

49
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:31,000
was we were about 50 people, probably one of
the lower ends. But I think we touched on all

50
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:42,000
the major issues that are required and. Trois
fois par une. That's it. Thank you.

51
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:49,000
>> Mr. Padova. >> Yes. Hello, everybody. Bonjour.
Tout le monde. CE soir.

52
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:56,000
I wanted to echo on the meet and greet with
my fellow councilor, Mr. Stork. I think

53
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:01,000
it went very, very well. I'd like to thank
all the residents who came out and asked some

54
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:05,000
very, very important and excellent questions.
I want to recognize the support from the

55
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:11,000
mayor, Mayor Belvedere, and also the planning
that Eric and I did for the event, which was

56
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:17,000
really a teamwork event. I look forward to
providing all the answers on the questions
in an

57
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:30,000
accurate and timely fashion. 0.4. Dimanche
on the Masters de Pointe-Claire. Por the notation.

58
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:37,000
Basically, it was the Masters in Pointe-Claire
and we had 200 meter freestyle where we set
a

59
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:50,000
Pointe-Claire set, a Guinness Book of World
Records. Okay, so. And on top of that, the
last

60
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:56,000
swimmer, because you can't do this with I saw
it from my own eyes. So I had to make

61
00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:00,000
definitely some comments, but you can not do
it with ten, 50, 75 or 80 swimmers. There was

62
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:06,000
100 swimmers planned and each one did the 200m.
The last swimmer that went in was May

63
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:17,000
Weldon, who was 91 years old. So I think you
have to. For the first time, I was able to
meet.

64
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:23,000
Coach Paul Ryan was there doing his best at
organizing, as he usually does. The key thing

65
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:30,000
also is that the proceeds of all this, the
swim meet or the record went to Y'a. It's the

66
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:37,000
West Island Association for the the intellectual
handicapped and they had a goal of each 100

67
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:44,000
persons giving $20. Okay. At the end when she
when she came, there were about 7500. I talked

68
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:51,000
to her this morning. They made it to $9,000.
So that's $7,000 over and above. And just a

69
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:56,000
point when she came to see me, she said, oh,
very, very glad you're here. Mr. But where's

70
00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:01,000
the mayor and where's the Kelly for district
three? I said, unfortunately, they wouldn't
be

71
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:07,000
able to be here because they were out of meet
and greet in from 1 to 3 on Sunday. At any

72
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:14,000
rate, the whole thing, the the record and everything
for me is a prime example of dedication,

73
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:18,000
planning and teamwork. And I think that's very,
very good for Pointe-Claire. I think it

74
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:25,000
bodes well for the future. And thank you for
your time. >> Cynthia.

75
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:30,000
>> No, I have nothing this evening. >> Excellent.

76
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:34,000
>> I echo the sentiments that everyone has
about the meet and greets. Merci beaucoup et

77
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:40,000
toutes les citoyens pour votre dévouement
et engagement dans Notre communautaire ensemble.
I

78
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:46,000
want to do a special thank you to the de la
garde de la Valois, because they supplied all
of

79
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:50,000
the treats and the coffee at each of the meet
and greets, and did an outstanding job.

80
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:58,000
There were no crumbs left over, no coffee at
each site. So job well done. Merci beaucoup.

81
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:05,000
>> Madame de mayors. >> Moi je voulais monsieur.
You stole my thunder, Mr. Potvin.

82
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:13,000
So I would like to recommend next time we start
with me. Maybe. Merci. A meet and greet

83
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:18,000
extraordinaire on the same person. Beaucoup
questions pour toutes les réponses. Mais les

84
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:23,000
réponses venir définitivement. We had some
comments about the format and the content,
where

85
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:27,000
we were taking. These suggestions and adjustments
will be made next time around

86
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:33,000
when we have our next meet and greet. Thank
you very much. >> On that note, it was a big.

87
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:38,000
It was a good problem to have. We had over
100 people. We've done it before. We had. We
you

88
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:42,000
know, we had maybe 60, 70 people in district
one, district two. And the numbers

89
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:46,000
were so big this time. So we'll probably have
to separate it. But it's a good problem to
have.

90
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:50,000
And it goes to show the participation. So again
congratulations to citizens.

91
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:56,000
Mr. Ludovic Matthews. >> Yes. Hi. I just want
to congratulate the the swim team

92
00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:02,000
the master swim team for their record. And
I would also like to thank the mayor and Claude

93
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:08,000
for a great town hall last Saturday. And I
look forward to having the opportunity to have

94
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:15,000
have it more often. Thank you. >> Mr. Tremblay.
No. >> Mr.

95
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:26,000
>> Mr. Brzezinski. >> At Mon Assemblée du
district. I would like to take a moment

96
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:33,000
as well to salute the fact that we have on
the agenda today a proposal for a a flood

97
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:37,000
adaptation subsidy program. This is something
I campaigned on during the election, and I'm

98
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:41,000
very happy that the mayor, council and the
city manager are taking the initiative to do

99
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:47,000
this. Finally, after question period, I'll
have an intervention under article 36

100
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:53,000
to finish what I had to say on the maintenance
and occupancy bylaw. Thank you.

101
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:58,000
>> Thank you. And just on that note, thank
you. Mr. You remind me of something. That bylaw
for

102
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:03,000
the maintenance of houses was supposed to have
a second option tonight, but there's a

103
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:09,000
process. So the motion was put forward two
meetings ago last month. It was the first

104
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:14,000
adoption. What it does is give us time for
citizens to comment and hear stuff on the street,

105
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:20,000
which we've been hearing, and we've had many
emails, we've had many conversations, and we

106
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:24,000
are now putting on the agenda tonight, and
we'll come back on the agenda once we've been
able

107
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:31,000
to rewrite it in a format that everybody will
understand, it will be fair and clear. And
at

108
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:36,000
that point, we will make the amended version
available ahead of our public meeting, so

109
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:41,000
everybody will be able to see it and read it
before it gets to the adoption phase. So

110
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:45,000
that's why it's not on the agenda tonight.
We'll take our time to make sure it's done

111
00:11:45,000 --> 00:12:02,000
right. Thank you, Mr. Teboe. >> Daniel. Excuse
me. >> Madame Gutierrez.

112
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:06,000
>> 3.1. Approve the minutes of the regular
meeting held on April 7th, 2026.

113
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:12,000
>> Can I have a mover and a seconder, please?
>> Ludovic Matthews, district.

114
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:27,000
>> Second by district. All in favor. Thank
you all. Mr. >> Mr. mayor, we have a few

115
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:33,000
follow up questions, essentially on a. Aujourd'hui.
I'll answer them in French and

116
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:39,000
English. So the first question was with respect
to the butterfly garden, Jardin des

117
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:46,000
papillons de superficie de Corey, faire l'objet
d'une reconstruction, complete

118
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:54,000
transformation. Le jardin et pour les auteurs
et sa localization et stratégique sur

119
00:12:54,000 --> 00:13:02,000
la migratoire du monarch. Le futur management
par une configuration passé composé de

120
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:12,000
plusieurs plantations utilisé pour la douleur
de la actual. Donc. La sélection vegetale

121
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:17,000
établi maximizer, la porte nutritionnel et
la qualité de la habitat pour les papillons,

122
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:23,000
en particulier les monarch. So now in English,
the existing butterfly garden, covering an

123
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:28,000
area of 451m², will undergo a complete reconstruction.
Despite these transformations,

124
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:33,000
the site will retain its function as a foraging
garden and habitat for pollinators

125
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:39,000
with a strategic location along the Monarch
Butterflies Migratory route. The future

126
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:44,000
layout will be distinguished by a redesigned
configuration consisting of multiple planting

127
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:52,000
islands, totaling almost double of what we
have right now 935m². Plant species selections
have

128
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:59,000
been meticulously undertaken to maximize nutritional
value and habitat quality for butterflies,

129
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:07,000
with a particular focus on supporting monarch
butterflies. Question two was with respect

130
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:19,000
to three tree felling at 329 Hymas Boulevard
Le disposed at six pour la plantation des

131
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:25,000
arbres recommandée sous les équipes des travaux
publics et inspections sécurité publique,

132
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:33,000
Le suivi des. Propriétaires au risque de cette
now in English, the property owner has been

133
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:39,000
given a deadline of June 15th, 2026, to plant
the recommended trees on the site. Our public

134
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:43,000
works and inspection public security teams
have been following up with the property

135
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:50,000
owner and will continue to do so to ensure
compliance with this commitment. Number three

136
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:58,000
was with respect to work on the municipal golf
club. Donc les travaux de renovation entrepris

137
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:05,000
par le club en ont sur trois principal secteurs
d'intervention la maison des

140
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:23,000

des berges des besoins de rétention. The

141
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:28,000
renovation work undertaken by the club between
2023 and 2025 focused on the three main

142
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:33,000
components the refurbishment of sand bunkers,
the replacement of sprinkler heads and

143
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:38,000
improvements to the drainage system. Apart
from these renovations, ongoing

144
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:42,000
maintenance work is carried out by the club,
including the cleaning of ditches and the

145
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:51,000
banks of the retention ponds. And now, last
but not least, project at Terracotta Park,
in

146
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:59,000

00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:38,000
présenter. Les specifications du projet. An
intervention is planned in the southern part
of

154
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:44,000
Terracotta Park to improve stormwater management
in the area. The ongoing study has

155
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:49,000
identified this sector as a priority given
the hydrological challenges observed, and the

156
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:54,000
project will have a positive impact on the
local watershed. We should also like to

157
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:59,000
highlight that several other sites across the
territory are undergoing detailed analysis

158
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:04,020
aimed at assessing and optimizing stormwater
runoff management. A special

159
00:17:04,020 --> 00:17:09,020
information session was held on April 16th
for residents living near the area to present
the

160

that are actually blocking the flow of

187
00:21:41,060 --> 00:21:52,060
the water, the drainage. I've looked in the
the law of the document et des ville, Le

192
00:22:33,020 --> 00:22:41,020
au fil des IL n'y a pas. If there was not a
purchasing of the renunciation of the right

193
00:22:41,020 --> 00:22:51,020
of the of the right of, of the right to to
maintain the the ditch, the responsibility
of

194
00:22:51,020 --> 00:22:57,020
the resident is very clear. They have the they
have the responsibility to maintain

195
00:22:57,020 --> 00:23:04,080
their portion of the ditch. You're also asking
me yesterday whether I was the owner of the

196
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:10,080
servitude, and I just want to be clear on that
answer. Monsieur le Maire, I have here

197
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:18,080
a copy of my certificate localization for you,
and it does show that I own the

198
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:24,080
portion where the drainage ditch is located,
just at the same respect with Hydro-Québec

199
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:32,080
and the other tele wires that are crisscrossing
in the back of the property. The

200
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:37,080
responsibility of the resident is very clear.
It's not like they can erect any.

201
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:54,080
>> Mr. Gendron, we are 12 minutes of déja
passé, so. >> Sur le terrain.

It's going to be one of those nights. Forget
people's names. >> John McCusker.

214
00:26:11,060 --> 00:26:18,060
>> Mister mayor, Council. Good evening, good
evening. I represent myself, I guess, in

215
00:26:18,060 --> 00:26:26,060
this case. So I own 60 donegani in Pointe Claire.
Yeah, obviously Pointe Claire. And we

216
00:26:26,060 --> 00:26:30,060
just finished a conversion project on the second
floor from commercial to residential.

217
00:26:30,060 --> 00:26:37,060
So mixed usage, which I believe last year was
for Lands to parks I was here for and so

218
00:26:37,060 --> 00:26:44,060
forth. So I'm kind of spearheading this. I
asked for a simple permit. I had an

219
00:26:44,060 --> 00:26:49,060
answer today just to build a shed in the back.
So an eight by 12 shed, not a garage and so

220
00:26:49,060 --> 00:26:57,060
forth. And it was brought to my attention that
we don't have the required space to do so.
So

221
00:26:57,060 --> 00:27:06,020
I have roughly 600ft² in the back property,
sizable area under normal residential

222
00:27:06,020 --> 00:27:11,020
margins or limits. There would be no problem
to put a shed of that size respecting the

223
00:27:11,020 --> 00:27:16,020
margins. But it was brought to my attention
that they can't even consider the request

224
00:27:16,020 --> 00:27:22,020
because the building, even though it's mixed
usage, falls within the zoning CV7, which is

225
00:27:22,020 --> 00:27:28,020
strictly commercial. So as you know, in the
village, there's a good portion of commercial.
But

226
00:27:28,020 --> 00:27:33,020
I believe also the intention was to push forward
for mixed usage and so forth to encourage

227
00:27:33,020 --> 00:27:39,020
more residential space. So I believe I could
be correct, incorrect, but I believe I'm

228
00:27:39,020 --> 00:27:46,020
the first to do it. And obviously bringing
bicycles because residential, you have

229
00:27:46,020 --> 00:27:50,020
things like garden hoses, you have lawnmowers,
you have tools. I think everybody here probably

230
00:27:50,020 --> 00:27:56,020
has a garden shed. I'd like to put up a shed.
I'd like to put my bicycle out of the rain
and

231
00:27:56,020 --> 00:28:04,080
so forth. And right now, legally, the way the
zoning is, I can't do it under residential

232
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:08,080
normal conditions, no problem. But because
I'm commercial, even though I'm mixed usage
and

233
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:15,080
there's a residential component of about 40
to 50%, I'm not allowed, but I'm allowed to
put

234
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:20,080
my bicycles and everything else and put a nice
blue Home Depot tarp over it, and it looks
like

235
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:25,080
hell and have it floating around. But I can't
build a shed. So I kind of feel that

236
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:30,080
perhaps the city could start looking. The fact
that the reality is the zoning is

237
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:37,080
changing, or the reality is you want more residential,
and it's not strictly a commercial usage.

238
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:41,080
The village, it has a commercial component.
I'm one of them. But there is a new

239
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:49,080
reality coming, hopefully more and more. But
I think the zoning or the bylaws should be

240
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:54,080
adapted. Personal opinion now, so I'll make
a quick. >> No, no.

241
00:28:54,080 --> 00:29:01,040
>> You said, you know, go to minor exemption
and we'll study it. I pay taxes, I pay over

242
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:06,040
$37,000 to you guys. Should I pay another $8,900
for a minor exemption that could be looked

243
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:10,040
at, or that when I think personally that the
bylaw should be looked at, and

244
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:14,040
perhaps the reality going forward of the village
and the component, what we want should

245
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:20,040
be looked at to allow more flexibility. I didn't
have time to reach out to anybody else,

246
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:25,040
because I got this at 345 today and I said,
oh, Council tonight, I'm coming to talk about
it. So.

247
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:28,040
>> Oh, great. You know what? >> You're ready
for consideration.

248
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:31,040
>> You're at the right place. And we're both
here. We're here as obviously your.

249
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:36,040
>> Counselor or anybody. But I'm saying, you
know, if the reality is changing, it's a

250
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:40,040
shed. >> I agreed. So can we. We can get in
touch with you. I'd like

251
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:44,040
to have this conversation conversation with
you in. >> The office, and I'm sure

252
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:48,040
Kelly knows. >> Right. So we'll take care of
it. We'll get in touch in the

253
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:51,040
next couple of days. >> Appreciate your time.
>> And you brought some valid

254
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:56,040
points. And we have to adopt them. We have
to change. So let's take a look at it.

255
00:29:56,040 --> 00:30:00,000
>> It was unreasonable. I'm not looking for
an in-ground pool. No, a shed would be nice
for

256
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,000
certain things. But thank you folks. >> Thank
you for your comments.

257
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:11,000
Great. Thank you. >> Susan Weaver. >> Okay.
I don't you already

258
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:15,000
talked about this in your opening statement,
but I don't want to be redundant, but I

259
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:21,000
want to read what I wrote. Okay. So at the
last council meeting, Councilor Swidsinski
spoke

260
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:26,000
about a first draft bylaw concerning the maintenance
of buildings. He disagreed with

261
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:32,000
the wording and finds this should have been
discussed and rectified in a caucus meeting

262
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:37,000
rather than a council meeting. I understand
that the councilor was given ten minutes to
speak,

263
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:43,000
but he could have easily got his message across
in five. In my opinion, ten minutes is

264
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:47,000
inefficient, too long and allows for political
grandstanding. Will Council

265
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:55,000
consider reducing the time limit for councilors
to speak? And my second question, or

266
00:30:55,000 --> 00:31:01,060
whatever it is, in the same speech, the councilor
mentioned 80 year old women being

267
00:31:01,060 --> 00:31:08,060
targeted by this draft bylaw. Anyone, no matter
the gender or age, can be vulnerable. The

268
00:31:08,060 --> 00:31:13,060
description met my profile and I told someone
that when the meeting had ended, I must speak

269
00:31:13,060 --> 00:31:19,060
out for my demographics, but no one group should
ever be targeted. Maybe that was not

270
00:31:19,060 --> 00:31:25,060
the intention, but please consider your wording
the next time.

271
00:31:25,060 --> 00:31:29,060
>> Thank you, Mrs. Weaver. I'll get to your
first question about reducing the time. So
we

272
00:31:29,060 --> 00:31:35,060
already did. When the bylaw was adopted, it
was originally 50 minutes. We reduced it to
ten.

273
00:31:35,060 --> 00:31:41,060
And that was the council decision. And we're
happy with ten right now. And as far as

274
00:31:41,060 --> 00:31:49,060
your other comments, we're looking at the bylaw.
It was unclear. The wording was maybe

275
00:31:49,060 --> 00:31:53,060
misconceived or whatever, but that's why we're
looking at it. And all your comments will be

276
00:31:53,060 --> 00:31:57,060
taken into consideration. And moving forward.
We're going to, like I said earlier, make it

277
00:31:57,060 --> 00:32:01,020
right. All right. >> Thank you. Given that
I was named, I think I get to respond

278
00:32:01,020 --> 00:32:04,020
to that. >> Sure. If you. >> Like, though.

279
00:32:04,020 --> 00:32:10,020
>> I just want to be very clear. First of all,
I practice as a notary for 13 years. I think
I

280
00:32:10,020 --> 00:32:15,020
take my responsibility to scrutinize legislation
seriously, and it's a lot more

281
00:32:15,020 --> 00:32:19,020
complicated to talk about a complicated piece
of legislation than it is to get

282
00:32:19,020 --> 00:32:24,020
up and, you know, like attack somebody from
the microphone, you know, requires a greater

283
00:32:24,020 --> 00:32:30,020
degree of work to do that. And second of all,
in terms of the examples for people that I
use,

284
00:32:30,020 --> 00:32:35,020
these are real people that I know in my district,
some of them I've known my entire life.

285
00:32:35,020 --> 00:32:40,020
So it's not grandstanding. These are real people.
Thank you.

286
00:32:40,020 --> 00:32:51,020
>> Okay. Next. >> Michelle. Sharon. >> Hi.
Good evening. I, I'm

287
00:32:51,020 --> 00:32:56,020
actually want to talk about the maintenance
and building and heritage movable bylaw. My

288
00:32:56,020 --> 00:33:02,080
concern my question is, is the powers that
are being given to the inspector that can,
at any

289
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:10,080
reasonable time, can come into our domestic
homes. And then why, why do I have to heat
my

290
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:18,080
house to 21 degrees? How does it bother anybody
if my house is at 19 degrees while I'm

291
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:25,080
sleeping and 21 when I'm awake? And if there's
a paint chip outside that suddenly I can be

292
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:32,080
threatened with a $5,000 fine. While the city
of Montreal. The fines are for heritage

293
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:38,080
buildings, and it's $1,000, and that every
day that I don't fix it, I am. I can be fined
daily.

294
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:47,080
So I feel that as a citizen that we are being
the potential for abuse, which I spoke about

295
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:54,080
in the town hall meeting. And so I'm very concerned
about this bylaw. And I think that

296
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:59,080
all the citizens of Pointe-Claire should be
very concerned that the powers that

297
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:09,040
are being given to an inspector and the abuse
that can happen if somebody wants to, to to

298
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:16,040
give you a $5,000 fine, and then subsequent
up to up to, what, $25,000, I think it is.
I

299
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:22,040
mean, come on. >> So do you want me to answer?
So a couple of things. The

300
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:26,040
spirit of the law is that's not the intent
of the spirit of the law. We didn't write.

301
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:31,040
>> I've read it. I've read. >> It as far as
when you when you go to talking about keeping

302
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:36,040
your house at 21 degrees, it's not what it
says. He says you have to have a heating system

303
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:41,040
in your house to be able to maintain a temperature
of 21 degrees. And if your house is

304
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:45,040
vacant, you have to have a heating system in
place to be able to maintain, I believe, a

305
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:50,040
temperature of ten degrees. The equipment has
to be able to do it doesn't mean you have to

306
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:53,040
keep it at that. >> But can I can I read the
sentence? Yeah.

307
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:57,040
>> The whole. >> Must be capable of maintaining
in each room of a

308
00:34:57,040 --> 00:35:01,000
building or a heritage immovable, used for
residential purposes. A minimum ambient

309
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:07,000
temperature of 21°C, measured at the center
of the room at the height of one meter above

310
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:12,000
floor level. This obligation remains in effect
except in the event of an emergency

311
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:17,000
determined by a designated officer or by emergency
services, including the fire

312
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:20,000
department. >> So, at the very beginning of
the paragraph, it says you have

313
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:25,000
to have the equipment to be able to maintain.
We don't have to keep it up anyway. I'm not

314
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:29,000
going to get into all the what we're doing
right now on. You brought some very good points

315
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:33,000
to the table. Obviously it's unclear. We all
interpret it differently. So that is why

316
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:37,000
exactly why it's not on the agenda tonight.
We're going to rewrite it. The legal

317
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:41,000
department will rewrite it and it will be in
terminology and clear as far as inspectors
by

318
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:46,000
law, inspectors are not allowed even by any
law. They're not allowed to come into your
house.

319
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:51,000
Maybe that's what it says in there. That's
how you interpret it. We are going to change
that.

320
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:55,000
Okay. We're going to make it so it's clear
we didn't write it. We, we, we, we presented
it.

321
00:35:55,000 --> 00:36:00,060
It's here on the floor in order to get questions
and concerns. And now we understand how

322
00:36:00,060 --> 00:36:04,060
unclear it is. So we're going to make it right.
And when it comes back you'll be able to

323
00:36:04,060 --> 00:36:09,060
comment on it again. So your comments are legit
comments. >> And thank you. So how will I

324
00:36:09,060 --> 00:36:14,060
know when when the rewrite will. >> Be so when
the rewrite will be done? I've asked the legal

325
00:36:14,060 --> 00:36:19,060
department, can we post it 15 days before on
our Facebook, put it out on our make the

326
00:36:19,060 --> 00:36:23,060
public aware of it. Normally you would come
to a public meeting and it would be on that

327
00:36:23,060 --> 00:36:28,060
table and we'd be adopting it that night. That's
the process. That's just the process. I've

328
00:36:28,060 --> 00:36:33,060
asked, can we make the process once it's written?
Can we make it public 15, 20 days before

329
00:36:33,060 --> 00:36:37,060
let the people read it, let them comment on
it. Come to the public meeting. You'll be well

330
00:36:37,060 --> 00:36:42,060
aware of what it says, and we'll move on forward
from there. So we will make it as

331
00:36:42,060 --> 00:36:46,060
accessible as possible. We have nothing to
hide in this. The government asked us to adopt
it

332
00:36:46,060 --> 00:36:52,060
by April 1st. Obviously, we're behind and I
don't care if it takes us another two months
to

333
00:36:52,060 --> 00:36:56,060
do it. We'll get done when we feel comfortable
with it. >> I'd like to thank my

334
00:36:56,060 --> 00:37:02,020
district, Andrew, for for everything that he's
done for this, because I wouldn't have

335
00:37:02,020 --> 00:37:09,020
known anything was going on except for you.
So I thank you very much. Anyways. Thank you.

336
00:37:09,020 --> 00:37:16,020
>> Comment on on just on on the interpretation.
No, no. >> No thank you. I think it's

337
00:37:16,020 --> 00:37:24,020
clear. I think we're good. >> It's just it's
a simple statement to help clarify is

338
00:37:24,020 --> 00:37:31,020
that many of us had concerns about some things
in there. The Quebec Charter of Freedoms is
a

339
00:37:31,020 --> 00:37:40,020
quasi constitutional. Document which supersedes
any municipal bylaws, which is basically you

340
00:37:40,020 --> 00:37:45,020
cannot enter a home without warrant or consent.
So that needed to be further explained

341
00:37:45,020 --> 00:37:51,020
as well. But even the way it's written now,
it falls under the Quebec Charter of Human
Rights.

342
00:37:51,020 --> 00:37:56,020
So you would need you could refuse, but it
definitely needs to be made more clear in the
in

343
00:37:56,020 --> 00:38:11,080
the bylaw. >> Thank you. Eric. Okay. Next.
>> Sheila Larsen.

344
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:13,080
>> Oh. >> Good evening. >> Good evening. First,
I'm

345
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:18,080
really glad to hear that there were so many
people that came out to the town hall meetings.

346
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:24,080
Unfortunately, in my sector, it was on Sunday
morning and I am active in my church and I

347
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:30,080
couldn't go. I would have been there if it
was any other day of the week actually. So.
But

348
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:37,080
that is good to hear. Two months or so ago,
I was at this same microphone and I asked a

349
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:43,080
question about the public consultation process
that happened almost two years ago

350
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:51,080
now. I participated with hundreds of fellow
citizens, and we had wonderful sessions

351
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:58,080
that were led by a consulting firm of discussing
what was important to us about the

352
00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:04,040
character of Pointe-Claire for the Future Urban
Plan. What was the character, the values, the

353
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:13,040
green space, etc. And in every session that
I was in, every four of the five, there was

354
00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:20,040
unanimity, not total agreement, but the values
were very well expressed about what people

355
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:27,040
want to keep in the character of Pointe-Claire.
My time at the microphone was to ask when

356
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:32,040
we were going to have the results, when were
we going to? The citizens who participated

357
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:38,040
in this get to hear what the recommendations
were. And you said, they're coming, they're

358
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:46,040
coming. Just be patient. They're coming. And
so then I was shocked when I read about

359
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:53,040
two projects that had been pulled out of the
freeze and were going to be put into place

360
00:39:53,040 --> 00:40:01,000
in Pointe-Claire. I don't remember either of
those areas being in any of the discussions

361
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:08,000
during that public consultation series. So
my my question is mainly the Barbie barn. I

362
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:15,000
happen to come in and well, that was going
on. So I know what's planned there. While I'm

363
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:21,000
happy to hear there's going to be some affordable
housing built 14% of 239 or whatever

364
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:27,000
isn't that much, but it helps. However, the
one that really concerns me is the one that's

365
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:33,000
going to be done in the parking lot in front
of Moe's and right beside the medical building

366
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:40,000
that I go to, and where last weekend, for example,
that parking lot was full. And what

367
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:47,000
do I discover? There's going to be maybe a
17 story hotel built there. So I have a few

368
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:56,000
questions. Why there? Why a hotel? Because
it seems to me we have Hotel Alley all along

369
00:40:56,000 --> 00:41:03,060
the 40, and I really don't see that many people
coming and staying in our hotels. But I

370
00:41:03,060 --> 00:41:08,060
could be wrong because I'm not in the business
and I don't know about our our hotel rates,

371
00:41:08,060 --> 00:41:16,060
but I don't think we need a hotel there. And
if there is a hotel there, where will they

372
00:41:16,060 --> 00:41:23,060
park? Where will anybody park? Because that
parking lot was full. So I was dismayed about

373
00:41:23,060 --> 00:41:28,060
discovering something that I've been told we
would find out about soon. And I have those

374
00:41:28,060 --> 00:41:37,060
questions about the particular way the the
council is going. >> So I'll start with the
the

375
00:41:37,060 --> 00:41:42,060
first part of your question about when is the
plan? When are you going to see all the

376
00:41:42,060 --> 00:41:47,060
comments that people have made over the last
couple of years? We've been asking the same

377
00:41:47,060 --> 00:41:51,060
question. They're in the process of writing
it and putting the words into bylaws

378
00:41:51,060 --> 00:41:57,060
and into into a proposition, into a master
plan that will all be seeing at council before

379
00:41:57,060 --> 00:42:04,020
the fall. But any project that's being looked
at that let's take the Barbie bar, for

380
00:42:04,020 --> 00:42:08,020
instance. That project was brought to the council
in 2022. It's been worked on for the

381
00:42:08,020 --> 00:42:14,020
last 2 or 3 years, taking into consideration
what I've been told, even though there's an

382
00:42:14,020 --> 00:42:19,020
RCI, there's a freeze there. When they're looking
at those projects, they're using what

383
00:42:19,020 --> 00:42:24,020
the what the people discussed in those consultations
in the last two years, more green

384
00:42:24,020 --> 00:42:30,020
space parking type of building. There's a lot
of things they heard around that table were

385
00:42:30,020 --> 00:42:35,020
proposed to that developer when he developed
the designed that building. Even though the

386
00:42:35,020 --> 00:42:40,020
master plan hasn't been adopted, they used
that as a tool to get more than what our actual

387
00:42:40,020 --> 00:42:47,020
bylaws are looking at. As far as the hotel
on Saint John's Road, what we did last month

388
00:42:47,020 --> 00:42:52,020
was on that particular property. It is zoned
conditional use. In the conditional use bylaw.

389
00:42:52,020 --> 00:43:02,080
There's a list of things you could do there.
Okay, 5060 different. But when the owner

390
00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:07,080
wants to add something to it, he has to council
and say, in my condition, that conditional

391
00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:13,080
bylaw, I can do a hotel, I can do this. So
I'd like to move forward, look at a hotel.
We

392
00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:19,080
have to. Okay. Go ahead. Move forward with
the hotels. We were we were approving that
he

393
00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:25,080
goes forward with looking at putting a hotel
there. We have not seen a finalized plan.

394
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:30,080
There's a whole plan for that whole that whole
shopping center. I can give you an

395
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:35,080
example. This is going to be moving out of
there. So the parking lot was full, but it's

396
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:40,080
going to roll these fills the parking lot twice
a day. So, you know, if a hotel ends up

397
00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:43,080
going there, nobody's talked about the height.
So you heard 17 stories. That's great. Maybe

398
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:49,080
we maybe we have no idea. We haven't. There's
been no discussion about height, but

399
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:54,080
that that area is going to it's going to change.
The shopping center is going to change. It's

400
00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:58,080
not just adding a hotel into the corner. There'll
be other things happening in there. And

401
00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:02,040
we'll see that plan when he gets there. Now
that he knows that, yes, we're willing to

402
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:06,040
look at that and then he'll start moving his
plans forward. And then you'll have to work

403
00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:10,040
with urban planning and the park committee,
and then they'll make a proposal.

404
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:16,040
>> So do I gather it was one that had been
given or presented to council before the

405
00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:21,040
freeze as well. So it was. How come now? >>
Because even there's a

406
00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:27,040
freeze, you. We are allowed. And we have to.
We can look at plans, we can look at any

407
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:31,040
project. Even though there's a freeze. You
can't stop somebody from depositing a set of
plans

408
00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:35,040
or making a request. You cannot stop them.
And that's urban planning is a situation, not

409
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:39,040
ours. So they do what they have to do, and
then they come to council and say, okay, we've

410
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:44,040
got this plan or we got this request deposited.
What do you want? What do you want to do

411
00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:48,040
with this? And that's how the process works.
So they're following the process. That's

412
00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:52,040
all they're doing right now. And Barbie Barn,
they followed the process and it's in the

413
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:57,040
since the the all those consultations two years
back, there's also been a new map

414
00:44:57,040 --> 00:45:03,000
that's been adopted. And the two, the new Piedmont,
especially in the Tod area,

415
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:07,000
dictates the number of doors per hectare and
everything else. So the Barbie barn is within

416
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:13,000
one kilometer of a. So that says you need 300
doors per hectare. So how do you put 300

417
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:17,000
doors per hectare? You understand. So that's
why this is how all these things. It's

418
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:21,000
not us sitting here saying, oh, we want that.
No, there's there's a process we have to

419
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:25,000
follow. And urban planning follows it. And
they go through all the steps and then we see

420
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:31,000
it at the end of it. But there's a, there's
a and that's how it gets to where it is. All

421
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:34,000
right. >> Thank you. I probably wouldn't have
contested so much

422
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:39,000
if it was housing, affordable housing. So instead
of a hotel. >> So yeah. And, but just going

423
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:44,000
to the affordable housing thing just because
we're all learning, right? So the Barbie barn

424
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:50,000
project, if you look at the numbers that slide
they showed and the rent was, I think 1049

425
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:56,000
1099. Okay. So when you're doing affordable
housing, CMHC says, okay, you have to be 10%

426
00:45:56,000 --> 00:46:00,060
lower than whatever the market rate in your
area. And it's based on the average salary
of

427
00:46:00,060 --> 00:46:05,060
the area. Okay. But that particular project
did because the, the program that they've

428
00:46:05,060 --> 00:46:11,060
applied for with CMHC, they have to use the
average salary, I think, of Montreal. So the

429
00:46:11,060 --> 00:46:15,060
average salary of Montreal is much lower than
the average salary of Pointe-Claire. So

430
00:46:15,060 --> 00:46:22,060
that's why you got a unit of $1,099 versus
1450, whatever the lucky number is. Okay. So

431
00:46:22,060 --> 00:46:28,060
that's so that already is a bonus. They have
to pay because they're in the Tod just to

432
00:46:28,060 --> 00:46:35,060
advance the tax, you have to pay the rent is
$4.2 million. So that's $17,000 a door. The

433
00:46:35,060 --> 00:46:41,060
developer has to pay to the REM. So that adds
cost to it, to right to the project. And they

434
00:46:41,060 --> 00:46:46,060
added on nine other doors because we asked
them to increase the density, not the

435
00:46:46,060 --> 00:46:50,060
increase the affordable housing. So they added
on nine more doors and they based that on

436
00:46:50,060 --> 00:46:55,060
the average price in Pointe Claire, because
they're already $4.3 million behind the ball

437
00:46:55,060 --> 00:47:00,020
because they're in a REM sector, you understand?
So they made it work and they, you know, it
has

438
00:47:00,020 --> 00:47:04,020
to work financially for everybody. So I, you
know, that's, that's how they got

439
00:47:04,020 --> 00:47:08,020
those numbers. All right. >> Thank you. Thank
you. I'll be following it.

440
00:47:08,020 --> 00:47:14,020
>> Thank you. >> Yeah. >> Can I just add also
that any

441
00:47:14,020 --> 00:47:22,020
new project must maintain the parking requirement
for whatever is left behind. So if

442
00:47:22,020 --> 00:47:28,020
anything does occur in this project, the existing
commercial that will remain

443
00:47:28,020 --> 00:47:33,020
must provide the minimum number of parking
for that commercial space. So there should
never be

444
00:47:33,020 --> 00:48:06,080
any overlapping or loss of parking spots. >>
Thank you. Next.

445
00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:19,080

>> Ken Lyons.

476
00:54:45,040 --> 00:54:52,040
>> Good evening. >> Good evening. >> I put
in a a request for

477
00:54:52,040 --> 00:55:01,000
fixing the sidewalk in front of 242 Hymas that's
where they put up a a new building part of
the

478
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:09,000
Q one West. The sidewalk has been demolished
since last fall. It forces the pedestrians
to

479
00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:15,000
walk on the street. It was all muddy in the
springtime. In the winter time. It was not
even

480
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:23,000
cleared, and the manhole cover was upside down
on the lid and nothing has been done. I can

481
00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:28,000
understand there's construction and all that,
but complete disregard for the pedestrians

482
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:34,000
to me is unacceptable. Why do we have to put
up with that? >> I don't think we'll we'll

483
00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:38,000
send somebody tomorrow, Mr. Gibbard. We'll
take send somebody tomorrow. We'll take a

484
00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:43,000
look at it and we'll. We'll take the necessary
measures. >> As I said, I, I put in the

485
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:47,000
request, you know, like requests for work.
>> You're now you're requesting

486
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:51,000
it right here. We're going to react tomorrow.
Okay. We'll get back to you. We'll react

487
00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:54,000
tomorrow. >> Because as I said, it's it's quite
long and it's not, it's

488
00:55:54,000 --> 00:56:01,060
not very nice on, on a positive side, I like
the work that public, the patching work that

489
00:56:01,060 --> 00:56:10,060
the public works have done on Saint-Jean at
Sedgefield. Perfect. Beautiful work. I hope

490
00:56:10,060 --> 00:56:16,060
it's going to continue on to Douglas Shand,
because it's not in the same status by far.

491
00:56:16,060 --> 00:56:22,060
>> Thank you very much. We have your contact
information. We'll get in touch with you about
the

492
00:56:22,060 --> 00:56:33,060
sidewalk. Thank you. >> Jennifer. >> Hi. Good
evening. Good

493
00:56:33,060 --> 00:56:40,060
evening. So first of all, regarding the new
bylaw, I realize that it is a draft. I

494
00:56:40,060 --> 00:56:46,060
spent a lot of time this week reaching out
to several organizations like the tableau

495
00:56:46,060 --> 00:56:55,060
de Cartier West, West de Lille, the CS. I also
took a look at the census information for

496
00:56:55,060 --> 00:57:03,020
Pointe-Claire Stats Canada, information that
I. Because I reread the the bylaw, I

497
00:57:03,020 --> 00:57:10,020
highlighted things. I'm really, really concerned
that I. And I realize it's a draft. I realize

498
00:57:10,020 --> 00:57:16,020
that it's going to be redone. I am going to
send you the links to the information that
I do

499
00:57:16,020 --> 00:57:24,020
have. There are over. In 2023, there were over
780 homes, households in Pointe-Claire

500
00:57:24,020 --> 00:57:33,020
that were living below the poverty line. So
or at needing housing needs. Okay. A lot of

501
00:57:33,020 --> 00:57:40,020
these people probably it's probably more now
we're in 2026, the house, the price of oil
for

502
00:57:40,020 --> 00:57:45,020
heating homes. A lot of the homes in Pointe-Claire
are still using oil. So again, a

503
00:57:45,020 --> 00:57:53,020
lot of the expenses have gone up. I'm sure
that the number is bigger than that. The the
three

504
00:57:53,020 --> 00:57:58,020
things in the in the draft that were really
concerning were, number one, the fines, they

505
00:57:58,020 --> 00:58:04,080
were very disproportionate. Number two, the
right for inspectors to enter the home

506
00:58:04,080 --> 00:58:11,080
without no notice. I realize, I realize that's
good if it's written there. I think that it

507
00:58:11,080 --> 00:58:15,080
shouldn't be written there. If that's the case
and it's not the intention, it shouldn't be

508
00:58:15,080 --> 00:58:21,080
written in the bylaw. Clear and concise. It
needs to be. And there needs to be, leaving
no

509
00:58:21,080 --> 00:58:27,080
chance for the abuse of people that are in
a compromising position. I'm going to fight

510
00:58:27,080 --> 00:58:33,080
that, and I'm going to make sure that people
there are organizations that will back me

511
00:58:33,080 --> 00:58:40,080
in a fight to make sure that the bylaw is just.
I would like, if possible, if we can look at

512
00:58:40,080 --> 00:58:45,080
considering splitting the maintenance and the
abandoned homes, I think they're two very

513
00:58:45,080 --> 00:58:51,080
different things. I think it could be two very
interesting bylaws. I don't think a $5,000

514
00:58:51,080 --> 00:58:57,080
fine on an abandoned house that's going to
sell for 1.5 million when it's rebuilt. They

515
00:58:57,080 --> 00:59:06,040
don't give a crap about a $5,000 bill, $5,000
fine on a on a person that's 80 years old

516
00:59:06,040 --> 00:59:12,040
can put them out of their home eventually.
Okay. So, so that was the that was the first

517
00:59:12,040 --> 00:59:17,040
thing. And I, again, I realize it's a draft
bylaw. I don't think that a draft bylaw should

518
00:59:17,040 --> 00:59:22,040
have been out, been put out there without proper
consideration for all of the

519
00:59:22,040 --> 00:59:26,040
constituents in the city. And there are huge
amounts of people that this could affect

520
00:59:26,040 --> 00:59:32,040
single mothers, elderly single fathers. There's
a lot of them in Pointe Claire, you might not

521
00:59:32,040 --> 00:59:35,040
know that, but I'll send you the statistics.
>> I know all about that. And

522
00:59:35,040 --> 00:59:40,040
again, the the intent of the spirit of the
law, the way it was written, maybe it's unclear,

523
00:59:40,040 --> 00:59:44,040
maybe it's being interpreted. We didn't write
it. >> So I read the bill a couple

524
00:59:44,040 --> 00:59:48,040
of times. We're going to keep saying the spirit
of the bill. Your spirit of the bill does

525
00:59:48,040 --> 00:59:54,040
not matter. What is written in paper legally.
To cover the constituents is what's

526
00:59:54,040 --> 00:59:59,040
important. So I would ask that you make special
consideration to take a good look at what's

527
00:59:59,040 --> 01:00:02,000
written there, because I don't care about the
spirit. >> We will.

528
01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:07,000
>> You you will be listened to, and everybody
that's commented will be listened to. We don't

529
01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:12,000
have to fight. We're going to write it together
so that it's acceptable to everybody.

530
01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:15,000
Understand that's that's what we're what we're
doing that we're consulting and we're

531
01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:19,000
going to make it right. And we'll take the
time we need to make it right.

532
01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:22,000
>> All right. >> Perfect. The other thing I
just quick, quick, because I

533
01:00:22,000 --> 01:00:26,000
have four seconds terracotta, lots of noise
there this weekend. Lots of the wood chips

534
01:00:26,000 --> 01:00:32,000
and the dirt were put again right behind the
the townhouses again in the double parking
lot.

535
01:00:32,000 --> 01:00:38,000
Nobody blocked off those two spaces with no
parking signs. So citizens had to go around

536
01:00:38,000 --> 01:00:45,000
these beautiful porches that were parked there
to go drag their wood chips in between two

537
01:00:45,000 --> 01:00:50,000
porches to get to the back of their car. If
we're going to use that area, we have to make

538
01:00:50,000 --> 01:00:54,000
sure that it's accessible to the people. Okay.
>> Thank you.

539
01:00:54,000 --> 01:01:05,060
>> Thank you. Have a great night. >> Caroline
Atwell.

540
01:01:05,060 --> 01:01:12,060
>> Good evening. Good evening. >> Mr. Mayor.
I'll ask my question first. I'd like you

541
01:01:12,060 --> 01:01:22,060
guys to consider banning door to door solicitation.
Reason. I looked it up on the website, so

542
01:01:22,060 --> 01:01:30,060
I checked everything. It went back to 1997,
almost 30 years. Mayor Knox brought in a

543
01:01:30,060 --> 01:01:36,060
procedure that if you want to go door to door,
the companies, they have to apply for a permit.

544
01:01:36,060 --> 01:01:44,060
They have to go through public security, get
a lanyard with the photograph. They have to
do

545
01:01:44,060 --> 01:01:51,060
it within a certain times. Okay, so they come
to your door. Can I see? First thing I asked,

546
01:01:51,060 --> 01:01:57,060
where is your lanyard? Nobody has identified.
It's always here. Check my phone. Well,

547
01:01:57,060 --> 01:02:04,020
anybody can modify it on the phone. So they're
supposed to have it. So next thing I do,

548
01:02:04,020 --> 01:02:11,020
phone public security. At one point a few years
ago, because I do check our website from

549
01:02:11,020 --> 01:02:18,020
time to time, we did see that if you go under
public security, it tells you different

550
01:02:18,020 --> 01:02:23,020
companies that are working in the area selling.
They don't have that anymore. It was taken

551
01:02:23,020 --> 01:02:29,020
out and when I phoned public security, they
say, well, it's the legal department that

552
01:02:29,020 --> 01:02:36,020
issues it and they tell us who's going around.
So it's not very safe, especially for

553
01:02:36,020 --> 01:02:43,020
seniors. I'm a junior senior myself, not senior
senior. But, you know, it's it's like I had

554
01:02:43,020 --> 01:02:50,020
some and it's like young kids that are selling
as well. Sure. I understand sales. I'm not

555
01:02:50,020 --> 01:02:56,020
insulting any salespeople. They have to learn.
Yes, but they sometimes get quite insistent

556
01:02:56,020 --> 01:03:05,080
and not take no for an answer. The kid from
Bell came and Bell is like verboten at my house.

557
01:03:05,080 --> 01:03:11,080
You cannot come near. So when I said no, he
said no, I have to tell you about this. No,
get

558
01:03:11,080 --> 01:03:17,080
off my property. Leave. So now you have to
phone public security. So would you please

559
01:03:17,080 --> 01:03:24,080
consider banning permit? No permit, banning
door to door solicitation, please. And thank

560
01:03:24,080 --> 01:03:28,080
you. >> Thank you. >> And one comment I'd like
to

561
01:03:28,080 --> 01:03:33,080
do is find out why we don't have that list
of who who has permits in the area. So you
can

562
01:03:33,080 --> 01:03:38,080
go and check that out. That'd be a good start.
Why we stop that. We'll look into that and

563
01:03:38,080 --> 01:03:41,080
the other conversation will take place in caucus
another time.

564
01:03:41,080 --> 01:03:43,080
>> Yeah. >> But if we stopped it completely,
especially folks

565
01:03:43,080 --> 01:03:48,080
that work at home don't have time to get up
and answer the door. So that means little

566
01:03:48,080 --> 01:03:54,080
Johnny is doing it. Sorry, no offense to you.
So that's what I'm saying, you know, so we

567
01:03:54,080 --> 01:04:04,040
don't have to be disturbed. >> Thank you. >>
Daniel Monti.

568
01:04:04,040 --> 01:04:38,040
>> Yeah. Okay, let's be fair. Let's be good.
>> That's what. The backstop.

So. See? Merci. >> Merci beaucoup. Merci

Gary Carr.

583
01:08:59,080 --> 01:09:06,040
>> Good evening everyone. I'll be very quick.
A year ago from April, I brought up the issue

584
01:09:06,040 --> 01:09:12,040
of Hymas and still view. So what's the situation
on that? And if there's anything

585
01:09:12,040 --> 01:09:16,040
starting when. >> It's an ongoing story, it
comes up the traffic committee.

586
01:09:16,040 --> 01:09:21,040
Every month we discuss it. Now we have a we
told you we were going to move the line over
to

587
01:09:21,040 --> 01:09:25,040
make the. Now we're waiting for some authorization
from another level of government to do

588
01:09:25,040 --> 01:09:29,040
something. I can't remember what the whole
story was. The street. Anyway, it's. We're

589
01:09:29,040 --> 01:09:33,040
we're. It's work in progress. Everybody's on
it. Public security's on it. Every time we

590
01:09:33,040 --> 01:09:37,040
we find a solution, we want to implement it.
Then we find another little problem. We have

591
01:09:37,040 --> 01:09:43,040
to get other permission from somebody. But
yes, we're it's ongoing and we're we're taking

592
01:09:43,040 --> 01:09:47,040
it again. We're looking at it and working on
it really, really hard.

593
01:09:47,040 --> 01:09:52,040
>> Okay. Because I'm sensing two high rise
buildings are just about finished. And right

594
01:09:52,040 --> 01:10:00,000
now the traffic flow is very, very heavy. You
had work today done by whoever company that

595
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:06,000
narrowed down one lane on the corner of Hymas.
Yeah. And there was a backlog of cars

596
01:10:06,000 --> 01:10:13,000
right up to almost Elkton. So when those buildings
get full, you're going to have problems.

597
01:10:13,000 --> 01:10:18,000
Thank you. >> You're very welcome. >> Thank
you.

598
01:10:18,000 --> 01:10:26,000
>> Nasal. Debbie. >> Good evening. >> Good
evening.

599
01:10:26,000 --> 01:10:34,000
>> First, I have a positive question. How come
since more than five months now we don't

600
01:10:34,000 --> 01:10:42,000
have a city manager and we have already a gentleman
here doing all the good job for us. Are

601
01:10:42,000 --> 01:10:46,000
you? >> Well, because there's a process. So
when we had to go

602
01:10:46,000 --> 01:10:51,000
through whole process, we had to post a job.
Mr. Gerard was was put, he was the assistant

603
01:10:51,000 --> 01:10:56,000
director before then. We put him in the interim
director general. But there's a process

604
01:10:56,000 --> 01:11:01,060
we have to go through, so we have to give him
a chance to settle in, do some work, then

605
01:11:01,060 --> 01:11:05,060
we have to post it. We have to give opportunities
to other people to apply. They have to

606
01:11:05,060 --> 01:11:09,060
go through the interview process. Then there's
many, many steps. We expediate as

607
01:11:09,060 --> 01:11:13,060
fast as we could, but there's a process because
of all the rules and hiring. So so that's

608
01:11:13,060 --> 01:11:20,060
why tonight it's on the agenda. >> Okay? Because
I live here for 33 years and I, he's belong

609
01:11:20,060 --> 01:11:26,060
is doing very good job in French and English.
>> We'll find out tonight. He's

610
01:11:26,060 --> 01:11:31,060
doing a good job or not. >> No. >> 16.2 I think.

611
01:11:31,060 --> 01:11:34,060
>> Okay. >> If it's. >> If it's happened,

612
01:11:34,060 --> 01:11:40,060
congratulations for you. And I wish you doing
really good job. Better than the one before.

613
01:11:40,060 --> 01:11:46,060
>> Whoa whoa whoa whoa. That's not nice. That's
not nice. Okay, next.

614
01:11:46,060 --> 01:11:53,060
>> I want to follow up about three questions
I ask, not me. Too many people ask about the

615
01:11:53,060 --> 01:12:01,020
first one, about stopping the burning, the
the wood and all that, the pollution for our

616
01:12:01,020 --> 01:12:07,020
health and for the environment. >> Let me ask
you that right away. So I'll save you some

617
01:12:07,020 --> 01:12:11,020
time. Eric Storch, Bruno Tremblay, and some
people from the city have sat down. They've

618
01:12:11,020 --> 01:12:16,020
written, they looked at all the data. They're
writing a bylaw. We're going to come up with
new

619
01:12:16,020 --> 01:12:21,020
regulations. You'll be made aware in the near
future. >> We can you let me finish the

620
01:12:21,020 --> 01:12:30,020
three things. The second one is we said when
you have when you prove any any project, you
have

621
01:12:30,020 --> 01:12:37,020
to put it in the website with the cost and
with the plan. So we know what is going on
with

622
01:12:37,020 --> 01:12:47,020
it. The third one is for the car shelter in
in winter. To give option to old people, to

623
01:12:47,020 --> 01:12:53,020
able to choose the three thing when you're
going to have those. >> So like I said, the

624
01:12:53,020 --> 01:12:57,020
fireplace bylaw, we we started working on it.
Mrs. Haley asked for. We started working on

625
01:12:57,020 --> 01:13:01,080
about 3 or 4 months ago, Mr. Storch, I believe.
And they've been working. They've had

626
01:13:01,080 --> 01:13:07,080
regular meetings. They're trying to. That's
coming. The. The temple request is something

627
01:13:07,080 --> 01:13:12,080
that we have to discuss at council. It's. We're
looking at all kinds of new bylaws and

628
01:13:12,080 --> 01:13:17,080
regulations and stuff. And that will be a discussion.
And we've had that discussion every year.

629
01:13:17,080 --> 01:13:22,080
It's always been no, no, no, no, no, it's going
to be. But we're going to come out with a one.

630
01:13:22,080 --> 01:13:26,080
What one councilor suggested was one. We do
a survey survey of the whole city on all these

631
01:13:26,080 --> 01:13:33,080
different topics. And then the city wide survey
is then. And take that data and use it in

632
01:13:33,080 --> 01:13:37,080
our in our in our in our decision process.
That's one possibility. And the third

633
01:13:37,080 --> 01:13:48,080
thing was the fireplace or the wood stoves,
the tempos and. The what? Oh, yes. Documents
on

634
01:13:48,080 --> 01:13:53,080
the website. Sorry. So we've talked about that
many times and it hasn't gone unheard. But

635
01:13:53,080 --> 01:13:58,080
it's a again, it's the communication department.
All these guys have to do that.

636
01:13:58,080 --> 01:14:01,040
It's just it's just they're overwhelmed right
now with everything. There's just too

637
01:14:01,040 --> 01:14:06,040
much work and it's in it's been noted, it's
on the list, but we just haven't got to it
yet. And

638
01:14:06,040 --> 01:14:09,040
that's the honest truth. There's just too many
things happening.

639
01:14:09,040 --> 01:14:13,040
>> Okay. All right. The second question, please.
This is double standard when you

640
01:14:13,040 --> 01:14:22,040
penalize people because they don't able to
renovate their house because they are all the

641
01:14:22,040 --> 01:14:28,040
cost of living went so high. So they can't
able to do that. And the fixed income and the
city

642
01:14:28,040 --> 01:14:35,040
does double standard. When the city didn't
do their job since the 1950s and 60 for the
sewer

643
01:14:35,040 --> 01:14:41,040
and drain and cause us thousands of dollars
for renovation and clean up. And

644
01:14:41,040 --> 01:14:47,040
nothing happened for the city. US we have to
pay penalty because we're not take care of

645
01:14:47,040 --> 01:14:52,040
the house. And the city went causing all the
trouble for all of us. No, no, I'm just saying

646
01:14:52,040 --> 01:14:57,040
this double standard. I live in the city. All
this old people. What, are you going to penalize

647
01:14:57,040 --> 01:15:03,000
them? They live in the city for maybe 40, 50
years. They pay all their taxes, and now you're

648
01:15:03,000 --> 01:15:08,000
going to penalize them because they are not
able to to renovate their house. That's my

649
01:15:08,000 --> 01:15:14,000
comment. That's double standard. Please. We
have to focus how to help each other, not to
tear

650
01:15:14,000 --> 01:15:20,000
down each other. And also, I remind you, you
all get elected with the resident of Montclair.

651
01:15:20,000 --> 01:15:24,000
So we have to all work together to make our
life better. >> That's exactly what we've

652
01:15:24,000 --> 01:15:28,000
been saying. All night. We pulled that bylaw,
we're adopting the bylaw, and we're

653
01:15:28,000 --> 01:15:32,000
listening to the people. We can't do more than
we're doing everything that we're that

654
01:15:32,000 --> 01:15:36,000
everybody's asked us to do, right? That's why
we're working together, which is why it's not

655
01:15:36,000 --> 01:15:41,000
on the agenda tonight. That's why when it's
ready, people get to see it earlier. So nobody's

656
01:15:41,000 --> 01:15:45,000
going to pull anything faster. Nobody's going
to lose their homes. Nobody's going to be

657
01:15:45,000 --> 01:15:49,000
thrown. It's not going to happen. That's what
you believe. That's what you maybe read or

658
01:15:49,000 --> 01:15:53,000
what you hear. But that is not what's going
to happen. Okay, I promise you. Okay. Thanks
a lot.

659
01:15:53,000 --> 01:15:56,000
Thank you. And that comes from everybody in.
>> The.

660
01:15:56,000 --> 01:15:58,000
>> City. >> Which. >> Will not happen.

661
01:15:58,000 --> 01:16:02,060
>> I'll be watching. >> You all watch. Watch
all you want. Be part of the process.

662
01:16:02,060 --> 01:16:06,060
We're not taking any more questions on the
on the bylaw for the maintenance. We've

663
01:16:06,060 --> 01:16:10,060
already taken four. So we're not going to talk
about it. We're going to go okay.

664
01:16:10,060 --> 01:16:17,060
>> Go ahead. >> I see it says bylaws up for
the maintenance bylaw. Okay.

665
01:16:17,060 --> 01:16:25,060
You want your time at this might go go. >>
It's just has to do with the

666
01:16:25,060 --> 01:16:34,060
fireplace bylaw. Yeah. Will the same type of
draft be presented so that we can look at it

667
01:16:34,060 --> 01:16:39,060
before it is adopted. Adopted, such as what
happened with the maintenance.

668
01:16:39,060 --> 01:16:43,060
>> Absolutely. Absolutely. >> Okay. And when
should we expect that draft?

669
01:16:43,060 --> 01:16:48,060
>> I would say in the next couple of months.
I know there are you going to be ready for

670
01:16:48,060 --> 01:16:52,060
the fall? I think so, he said. >> I mean, the
latest discussions were the first

671
01:16:52,060 --> 01:16:56,060
notice of motion to advise citizens should
be happening, you know, the next 2 or 3

672
01:16:56,060 --> 01:17:00,020
months. That's where we're working as diligently
as we can. As I said, there's a lot of

673
01:17:00,020 --> 01:17:04,020
files, the first draft bylaw. But our ultimate
goal, you know, is to have it obviously in

674
01:17:04,020 --> 01:17:08,020
place for this winter. That would be the ultimate
goal. >> Right?

675
01:17:08,020 --> 01:17:12,020
>> Right. But you. Yes, citizens, the first
notice of motion advises citizen. The

676
01:17:12,020 --> 01:17:17,020
first draft by shows you the first draft bylaw.
So you will see that prior to make the

677
01:17:17,020 --> 01:17:21,020
second adoption. And then based upon that,
we go to a final, final vote.

678
01:17:21,020 --> 01:17:27,020
>> Okay. So that sounds good. Thank you. >>
All right. Thank you.

679
01:17:27,020 --> 01:17:44,020
>> Hans Volstad. >> Good evening everyone.
Good evening. As most of many of you

680
01:17:44,020 --> 01:17:51,020
know anyway, I'm quite preoccupied with the
flooding and the terracotta village. We

681
01:17:51,020 --> 01:17:58,020
have a, I guess, a policy now to answer questions,
questions that can't be answered in, in

682
01:17:58,020 --> 01:18:03,080
session or deferred till the month after. I
ask questions two months ago that have not

683
01:18:03,080 --> 01:18:07,080
been answered here in Council. Though you did
answer personally to myself.

684
01:18:07,080 --> 01:18:11,080
>> Though, right? You received the phone call?
>> No, no, no, we met

685
01:18:11,080 --> 01:18:16,080
personally. We we. >> We met. >> We met personally
on April

686
01:18:16,080 --> 01:18:21,080
13th and we got the answers. But I thought
nobody else did. So I thought maybe I would

687
01:18:21,080 --> 01:18:26,080
present those answers. I guess one of the questions
I had is, when is the city going to

688
01:18:26,080 --> 01:18:33,080
complete the cleaning of the drain from Terracotta
Avenue? As it stands now, the the pipe

689
01:18:33,080 --> 01:18:40,080
is blocked. It's blocked on the sea, on land.
And I think the answer was, it's out of your

690
01:18:40,080 --> 01:18:45,080
control. You're going to continue doing the
same thing you've been doing for four

691
01:18:45,080 --> 01:18:50,080
years, which is send emails to Cncp. >> No,
we have we've got.

692
01:18:50,080 --> 01:18:54,080
>> Is there something new? Has there. >> An
update? Let me just not

693
01:18:54,080 --> 01:19:02,040
eat up your time here. I was able to reach
a CP two weeks ago. So we've been. They've.

694
01:19:02,040 --> 01:19:09,040
Which is good news. And we've been essentially
in discussion. We. We're. If it wasn't today,

695
01:19:09,040 --> 01:19:14,040
it will be this week. We're admitting essentially
a work order to. They're giving us the

696
01:19:14,040 --> 01:19:18,040
permission to go and clear out their end of
the the block pipe. We're going to go through
the

697
01:19:18,040 --> 01:19:26,040
the manhole that's on the bike path there.
So as soon as I get a date, I can communicate
with

698
01:19:26,040 --> 01:19:31,040
you exactly to that effect. That's on the CP
portion. That's that's currently blocked

699
01:19:31,040 --> 01:19:37,040
between the railroad track and the city of
Pointe-Claire portion.

700
01:19:37,040 --> 01:19:44,040
>> Okay, so that's one of the three problems.
You also have blockage on the C CN land and

701
01:19:44,040 --> 01:19:49,040
on transport Quebec. >> On the CN. We've been
trying to communicate. I haven't had a

702
01:19:49,040 --> 01:19:53,040
return yet. And on Transport Quebec, yes, we
were able to. And thank you for the the

703
01:19:53,040 --> 01:19:58,040
information on that. They have replied back
and they're looking into it on their end

704
01:19:58,040 --> 01:20:02,000
and we're supporting them in their efforts.
But I haven't had a specific date. They're

705
01:20:02,000 --> 01:20:08,000
supposed to go check online to see what they
can do in terms of intervention. As soon as
I

706
01:20:08,000 --> 01:20:12,000
get a date of when they're going on, I'll once
again, I can communicate with you.

707
01:20:12,000 --> 01:20:19,000
>> Yeah, they need to dig. So all right, on
the other side, last council meeting, I asked

708
01:20:19,000 --> 01:20:27,000
questions about the just how, how you're being,
how the benefits of this sponge park is

709
01:20:27,000 --> 01:20:32,000
being quantified. And you said you would come
back this week and this this session and yeah,

710
01:20:32,000 --> 01:20:41,000
you answered yes, digging a big hole in the
park is positive. Okay. I, I would like to
see

711
01:20:41,000 --> 01:20:46,000
some real numbers though, in terms that I highlighted,
that the volume of that sponge park

712
01:20:46,000 --> 01:20:53,000
holds about 2000m³ of water. That's equivalent
to one millimeter of rain falling in

713
01:20:53,000 --> 01:21:03,060
the catchment area out of it. So 1%, the so
still, I'm going to obsess over this. And just

714
01:21:03,060 --> 01:21:12,060
what are the numbers that support the the work
that is being done there? All right.

715
01:21:12,060 --> 01:21:18,060
You also in the last council meeting, there's
a lot of questions I, I requested the I

716
01:21:18,060 --> 01:21:24,060
requested the the tender documents that the
contractors saw for the for the sponge park.

717
01:21:24,060 --> 01:21:29,060
I've had a chance to go over that. I have a
long list of questions that obviously I

718
01:21:29,060 --> 01:21:33,060
can't bring up here. I was hoping I could bring
that up at the information session. In the

719
01:21:33,060 --> 01:21:41,060
last council meeting I was told the information
session would be in May. The information

720
01:21:41,060 --> 01:21:47,060
session turned out to be April 16th. When I
heard that it was in May. I booked a trip so
I

721
01:21:47,060 --> 01:21:51,060
couldn't make it to the the information session.
So now I have a long list of questions.

722
01:21:51,060 --> 01:21:57,060
>> Well, you can make a request to meet with
us and we'll sit down with you and go over
it

723
01:21:57,060 --> 01:22:01,020
again. We have no issue with that. There's
no problem, >> Okay, with people who can

724
01:22:01,020 --> 01:22:03,020
answer the questions. >> Oh yeah. >> Said people
who were

725
01:22:03,020 --> 01:22:06,020
involved in the design. >> Whether engineering
department and director general

726
01:22:06,020 --> 01:22:08,020
will sit down. There's no problem. >> All right.

727
01:22:08,020 --> 01:22:12,020
>> Call them. Book a book, an appointment.
>> Do I book an appointment

728
01:22:12,020 --> 01:22:19,020
with you, Mr. Joel? Okay, okay. Thank you.
And, oh, yeah. Mrs. Swidsinski, thank you very
much,

729
01:22:19,020 --> 01:22:25,020
sir, for bringing up this. The issue of the
potentially abusive nature of this

730
01:22:25,020 --> 01:22:30,020
renovation bylaw. I think without had you not
done that, I think that might have been a

731
01:22:30,020 --> 01:22:35,020
bylaw that would have been rubber stamped.
And. >> Thank you very much, sir.

732
01:22:35,020 --> 01:22:43,020
Thank you. Thank you. >> Judith P country.
>> It should be corrected.

733
01:22:43,020 --> 01:22:55,020
That's terrible. >> Okay. >> Bonjour, Monsieur
Mayor. Sir.

734
01:22:55,020 --> 01:23:08,080
We can je duvoisin qui ont subi sur la rue
quelque chose. Dans la font par.

735
01:23:08,080 --> 01:23:18,080
>> Le vous etes sur. >> La rue. Saint Louis

le secteur?

737
01:23:35,080 --> 01:23:47,080
>> De la. OU dans les derniers mois, whatever
it's going to be fair in in intervention. So.

738
01:23:47,080 --> 01:24:01,040
>> Comme dans les maisons. >> Okay. Okay. Good.
Okay. So. For an intervention. Okay.

Merci beaucoup. >> Dans les voitures ou parler

Marche tout et trottoir pas tout vraiment comme
un probleme depuis.

745
01:25:07,000 --> 01:25:20,000
>> Merci beaucoup. >> David Hawkins. >> Yes,
hi. Good evening

746
01:25:20,000 --> 01:25:26,000
Council. Good evening everybody. So my name
is David Hawkins. I'm representing myself,
my

747
01:25:26,000 --> 01:25:30,000
organization and kind of the collection of
organizations that are planning West Island

748
01:25:30,000 --> 01:25:35,000
Pride. In 2024, we held the first ever West
Island Pride here in Pointe-Claire. And it

749
01:25:35,000 --> 01:25:39,000
was a really wonderful event. And it went off
really successfully within the

750
01:25:39,000 --> 01:25:44,000
community. And last year, we again got offered
through the city of Pointe-Claire to run

751
01:25:44,000 --> 01:25:51,000
West Island Pride in the city of Pointe-Claire.
And over the course of several months, we

752
01:25:51,000 --> 01:25:57,000
encountered a lot of challenges that led to
us, unfortunately, having to relocate the event
on

753
01:25:57,000 --> 01:26:01,060
short notice because we were not able to get
clear answers from Pointe-Claire on when,

754
01:26:01,060 --> 01:26:07,060
where and what spaces were available and things
like that. And I was informed that the

755
01:26:07,060 --> 01:26:11,060
council was supposed to be discussing this
event sometime in the near future. We had

756
01:26:11,060 --> 01:26:18,060
submitted the application back in February,
and I was the person who was liaising with
us

757
01:26:18,060 --> 01:26:23,060
at Public Works said that it was supposed to
be brought up, and they should have answers

758
01:26:23,060 --> 01:26:28,060
kind of by the beginning of May for us. And
so when I saw the agenda tonight and I saw
that

759
01:26:28,060 --> 01:26:32,060
it still was not on the agenda, that raised
some really big concerns for me, because I
feel

760
01:26:32,060 --> 01:26:37,060
like we're going to get stuck in the exact
same position where we were last year, where

761
01:26:37,060 --> 01:26:41,060
we said no to other cities, because Pointe-Claire
had kind of confirmed a space to us. And

762
01:26:41,060 --> 01:26:45,060
then for months, we got the runaround and then
got told, sorry, the space we told you

763
01:26:45,060 --> 01:26:50,060
you had, you don't have. And so I've got two
questions. My very first question is, when
can we

764
01:26:50,060 --> 01:26:54,060
expect to get a firm answer on date, time,
location? If Pointe-Claire is going to work

765
01:26:54,060 --> 01:27:00,020
with us on this? And my second question is
what's being done to, to ensure that kind of
the

766
01:27:00,020 --> 01:27:05,020
things that happened with us and other organizations
like us last year are not going to be

767
01:27:05,020 --> 01:27:10,020
repeated going forward, because it feels like
we're still kind of stuck in that cycle.

768
01:27:10,020 --> 01:27:14,020
>> I'll have to look into what the Mister Award
tomorrow, and we'll get back to you when we

769
01:27:14,020 --> 01:27:20,020
can possibly give you an answer back. I know
we've heard about it. I know that you it's
in the

770
01:27:20,020 --> 01:27:25,020
system. It hasn't come to our level yet. The
council to discuss it. I just remember one

771
01:27:25,020 --> 01:27:31,020
thing. If I can say last year. I think your
request was quite hefty. The equipment that
was

772
01:27:31,020 --> 01:27:34,020
required, the number of tables, the number
of tents, the number of chairs, the number

773
01:27:34,020 --> 01:27:39,020
generators, the number it is. There's a lot,
a lot, a lot of stuff. And we we try to

774
01:27:39,020 --> 01:27:44,020
accommodate many, many associations. And I
think last year I was not there, but I

775
01:27:44,020 --> 01:27:48,020
just heard about it once I got elected that
we were overwhelmed. We just couldn't

776
01:27:48,020 --> 01:27:51,020
handle it, not because we didn't want to. Your
request was too big.

777
01:27:51,020 --> 01:27:56,020
>> But if I if I may, when we spoke with the
people at Public Works, they said, these are

778
01:27:56,020 --> 01:28:00,080
things we cannot do for you. And we said, that
is okay. Knowing that info, we can

779
01:28:00,080 --> 01:28:05,080
resolve that and we can resolve that on our
side. And we still got the runaround and then
had

780
01:28:05,080 --> 01:28:09,080
to relocate the event. And I was approached
even by multiple councilors from Pointe-Claire

781
01:28:09,080 --> 01:28:13,080
when we announced that we were changing venue
to ask, hey, why? Why is it not happening in

782
01:28:13,080 --> 01:28:18,080
Pointe-Claire? We thought it was happening
and we had to respond with confusion because

783
01:28:18,080 --> 01:28:24,080
we got a complete runaround from the city,
and the councilors didn't seem to

784
01:28:24,080 --> 01:28:26,080
understand why that was happening either. >>
You were in Beaconsfield

785
01:28:26,080 --> 01:28:31,080
last year, right. >> Out of out of necessity,
yes. >> Okay. And then are you going

786
01:28:31,080 --> 01:28:35,080
did you try beacons? Do you have another option
if it's not Pointe-Claire this.

787
01:28:35,080 --> 01:28:39,080
>> Year, what? We're trying to follow up with
the cities, but one of the cities that actually

788
01:28:39,080 --> 01:28:44,080
was actively going to work with us last year,
they felt a little bit burned by the fact

789
01:28:44,080 --> 01:28:48,080
that we went with Pointe-Claire and rejected
their option, only to then decide to not do
it in

790
01:28:48,080 --> 01:28:51,080
Pointe-Claire. >> Well, okay, we'll give you
a call tomorrow because there's

791
01:28:51,080 --> 01:28:55,080
there's stuff going on here. We'll talk tomorrow.
>> I would appreciate that.

792
01:28:55,080 --> 01:28:59,080
>> Because I won't be myself. It could be I
could get somebody to take care of that.

793
01:28:59,080 --> 01:29:02,040
Okay. We'll get in touch with you. Alright.
>> Thank you very much.

794
01:29:02,040 --> 01:29:15,040
>> Thank you. >> Yeah. I'm gonna take the.
Yes article 36 intervention to,

795
01:29:15,040 --> 01:29:19,040
well, finish what I had to say about the maintenance
and occupancy bylaw, but also

796
01:29:19,040 --> 01:29:25,040
respond to some other points about it that
have been raised. So the fundamental problem
with

797
01:29:25,040 --> 01:29:32,040
the bylaw is that it doesn't just protect heritage
buildings and target negligent owners or

798
01:29:32,040 --> 01:29:38,040
speculators who allow vacant houses to fall
apart so as to better justify demolishing them.

799
01:29:38,040 --> 01:29:44,040
It applies to every building in this city.
Instead of focusing on the overall state of
a

800
01:29:44,040 --> 01:29:51,040
building. The preamble in section 2.1.2 especially
target and create specific offenses

801
01:29:51,040 --> 01:29:57,040
for deteriorated components, defined as broadly
as any part of the exterior of a building

802
01:29:57,040 --> 01:30:01,000
from which there have been leaks, metal components
that haven't been painted, any

803
01:30:01,000 --> 01:30:07,000
rusted elements, cracks in a brick or foundation
wall, damage to a staircase or

804
01:30:07,000 --> 01:30:13,000
walkway, inadequate gutters for redirecting
rainwater, and the inability to heat any

805
01:30:13,000 --> 01:30:20,000
particular room up to 21 Celsius. These minor
offenses carry a minimum fine of $5,000,

806
01:30:20,000 --> 01:30:26,000
and a maximum fine of $25,000, and they can
be charged for every day. The issue goes

807
01:30:26,000 --> 01:30:33,000
unfixed. Now, also, all cities in Quebec are
required to have this bylaw, but of the ten

808
01:30:33,000 --> 01:30:39,000
biggest ones that have adopted versions of
it, the average minimum fine is just over

809
01:30:39,000 --> 01:30:46,000
$1,000. So essentially one fifth of what is
being proposed in this bylaw in Pointe-Claire.

810
01:30:46,000 --> 01:30:56,000
Now, by contrast. If an inspector receives
a complaint about a home that is so

811
01:30:56,000 --> 01:31:03,060
dilapidated that it can't be lived in, in that
instance, instead of giving a fine, they

812
01:31:03,060 --> 01:31:09,060
have the discretion to charge no fine at all
and can give the owner 12 to 18 months to carry

813
01:31:09,060 --> 01:31:15,060
out corrective work, during which time they
can, of course, file for a demolition permit

814
01:31:15,060 --> 01:31:20,060
with the planning department. So it creates
kind of a perverse situation where the

815
01:31:20,060 --> 01:31:25,060
offenders, who we should be targeting with
this are the ones who could effectively get

816
01:31:25,060 --> 01:31:32,060
the best treatment. And that's something that
I think needs to be corrected. In terms of
the

817
01:31:32,060 --> 01:31:42,060
issue of notice. Now, I acknowledge that nobody
can force their way into their home.

818
01:31:42,060 --> 01:31:47,060
If you if you won't let them, that that's a
question of criminal and and human rights

819
01:31:47,060 --> 01:31:54,060
law, as Councilor Storch mentioned, however,
the bylaw clearly indicates the inspector

820
01:31:54,060 --> 01:31:59,060
can visit in any reasonable time without notice.
And if you do not let them in, they can

821
01:31:59,060 --> 01:32:06,020
charge you the $5,000 minimum. Fine. So I think
most people, unless they're running a grow

822
01:32:06,020 --> 01:32:17,020
op, tend to let the inspector in. I represent
the district that I think has the largest

823
01:32:17,020 --> 01:32:22,020
number of lower income homeowners in Pointe-Claire,
the part of Cedar Park Heights

824
01:32:22,020 --> 01:32:27,020
that I grew up in was a blue collar neighborhood
full of bungalows and townhouses built

825
01:32:27,020 --> 01:32:34,020
in the 1960s, where you still have pensioners
and families living paycheck to paycheck.

826
01:32:34,020 --> 01:32:41,020
These are the people I've known my entire life.
If a complaint from a difficult neighbor or

827
01:32:41,020 --> 01:32:46,020
house flipper brings an inspector to their
door who finds them $5,000 or almost as

828
01:32:46,020 --> 01:32:51,020
much as their tax bill, and gives them a month
to fix a minor problem they've been

829
01:32:51,020 --> 01:32:59,020
saving to fix in 1 or 2 years, or face a second
fine of up to $25,000, then it's no

830
01:32:59,020 --> 01:33:05,080
exaggeration to say that the bylaw could force
them to sell their homes. It's not fear

831
01:33:05,080 --> 01:33:13,080
mongering. It's an economic reality that I
think we need to be sensitive to. So my proposal

832
01:33:13,080 --> 01:33:19,080
to amend the bylaw is to limit it to two categories
of buildings heritage buildings,

833
01:33:19,080 --> 01:33:25,080
as we're required to by provincial law and
buildings which are either vacant or in

834
01:33:25,080 --> 01:33:30,080
such bad overall condition that they aren't
considered to be livable or usable as places
of

835
01:33:30,080 --> 01:33:36,080
business. In a commercial context, I would
reduce the fines to the same level as

836
01:33:36,080 --> 01:33:40,080
Montreal's, which are about a fifth of ours,
and include a minimum notice period for

837
01:33:40,080 --> 01:33:47,080
inspections. Finally, I would ban owners who
receive a notice of deterioration or corrective

838
01:33:47,080 --> 01:33:53,080
work from submitting it to the planning department
in support of their request for a

839
01:33:53,080 --> 01:33:59,080
demolition permit, so that the application
of this bylaw can't actually provide greater

840
01:33:59,080 --> 01:34:04,040
justification for demolition. Now, if those
changes or changes substantially similar

841
01:34:04,040 --> 01:34:15,040
to those can be made, I could vote in favor
of the bylaw in its final version. Just en

842
01:34:15,040 --> 01:34:26,040
francais avec les excuse a monsieur mon petit
subsequent principalmente en francais. Je

843
01:34:26,040 --> 01:34:38,040
vous dirai. Proposé reglement en la catégorie
patrimonial qui sont occupé. Soit dans un
état

844
01:34:38,040 --> 01:34:47,040
général et qui NE sont pas considérés comme
éviter la défaite commerciale. Je les

845
01:34:47,040 --> 01:34:54,040
amants pour les années de la ville de Montréal.
Qui sont la cinquieme de ceux qui nous

846
01:34:54,040 --> 01:35:04,000
proposons actuellement. Minimum pour les inspections.
Aux propriétaires qui avait une vie

847
01:35:04,000 --> 01:35:11,000
de deterioration ou des travaux corrective
de la présentée au service de urbanisme et
d'une

848
01:35:11,000 --> 01:35:20,000
permit demolition pour les effets du reglement
n'est pas de facilité le processus meme

849
01:35:20,000 --> 01:35:30,000
content empeché. OU des modifications substantial
peuvent etre en faveur de

850
01:35:30,000 --> 01:35:44,000
reglement dans sa version ultime. Dans le contraire.
Donc je vous merci, merci.

851
01:35:44,000 --> 01:35:48,000
>> Thank you, thank you. Mr. Straczynski. I
would just like to say one thing, and I don't

852
01:35:48,000 --> 01:35:52,000
disagree with anything you're saying. All these
conversations are going to take place in the

853
01:35:52,000 --> 01:35:56,000
caucus room, in the back room. That's where
our business takes place. We discussed the
bylaws.

854
01:35:56,000 --> 01:36:00,060
We had an hour and a half discussion. One day
we had another hour discussion one

855
01:36:00,060 --> 01:36:05,060
time, and we going to have many hours of discussion
will be on our agenda in the back room.

856
01:36:05,060 --> 01:36:09,060
Discuss exactly what Mr. Swanson just said.
That's how we come up with a bylaw. That's

857
01:36:09,060 --> 01:36:14,060
how we come up with rules and regulations.
So it will be a group effort and we'll work

858
01:36:14,060 --> 01:36:17,060
together behind there. And that's where it
should take place. Everything that

859
01:36:17,060 --> 01:36:20,060
everybody said, every email that we've received
has been taken into consideration. We

860
01:36:20,060 --> 01:36:25,060
had a chance to adjust the fines. We had a
chance to make different categories. It was

861
01:36:25,060 --> 01:36:30,060
all on the table. It got put out there for
everybody to see it and then work at it. There's

862
01:36:30,060 --> 01:36:35,060
not a one man show. Two man show would be a
team effort, and we'll come up with

863
01:36:35,060 --> 01:36:38,060
administration, and every councilor here will
write it the way it's going to be

864
01:36:38,060 --> 01:36:43,060
written in order to make it right for everybody,
and it will take place back there. So

865
01:36:43,060 --> 01:36:46,060
thank you for your comments. I'll be taken
into consideration and so will all

866
01:36:46,060 --> 01:36:50,060
your consideration. This was never the intent
was to have people removed from their homes

867
01:36:50,060 --> 01:36:54,060
and throw people out. And that's not the intent.
Nobody here would ever want to do that.

868
01:36:54,060 --> 01:36:58,060
We all have. I'm not going to get into it,
but thank you. We're moving forward. You'll

869
01:36:58,060 --> 01:37:02,020
see it when it's ready. You'll be well. You'll
be made well aware. Thank you.

870
01:37:02,020 --> 01:37:18,020
>> Thank you, Mr. Mayor. >> Okay. Next agenda
please. >> Thank you. Hermitage.

Notice of motion filing of a draft bylaw

874
01:37:55,020 --> 01:37:58,020
establishing a financial assistance program
for stormwater management on

875
01:37:58,020 --> 01:38:03,080
private residential property. The bylaw aims
to establish a financial assistance program
to

876
01:38:03,080 --> 01:38:07,080
encourage residential property owners to implement
sustainable stormwater management measures

877
01:38:07,080 --> 01:38:11,080
directly on their own property. This program
addresses the increased frequency of rainfall

878
01:38:11,080 --> 01:38:16,080
events linked to climate change, with a view
of reducing strain on the sewage network and
the

879
01:38:16,080 --> 01:38:21,080
risk of flooding it targets. It targets all
single two dwelling residential properties
within

880
01:38:21,080 --> 01:38:26,080
the city territory, commercial and industrial
buildings, as well as buildings with three
or

881
01:38:26,080 --> 01:38:30,080
more dwellings are therefore excluded. The
bylaw provides that the city may retain the

882
01:38:30,080 --> 01:38:35,080
services of an external firm, also known as
a mandatory to carry out evaluation visits
to

883
01:38:35,080 --> 01:38:40,080
properties in order to diagnose drainage problems
and recommend the most appropriate measures.

884
01:38:40,080 --> 01:38:45,080
Financial assistance can cover up to 50% of
the cost of eligible works, including the

885
01:38:45,080 --> 01:38:51,080
city's mandatory evaluation, up to a maximum
of $5,000 per property over a five year

886
01:38:51,080 --> 01:38:56,080
period. The program covers various technical
and landscaping measures, including

887
01:38:56,080 --> 01:39:01,040
backflow valves, roof drains, sealing of water
inlets, catch basins, basins and foundation

888
01:39:01,040 --> 01:39:06,040
drains, rain gardens, permeable surfaces, rainwater
harvesting barrels, disconnection of

889
01:39:06,040 --> 01:39:11,040
gutters and correction of ground slopes. >>

climate change and its repercussions on urban
areas, infrastructure and the physical

01:43:21,080 --> 01:43:25,080
assets of the city's residents, the city seeks
to implement concrete measures to prevent

end, the city is calling on habitation

month of May 2026. >> Dues point a la Direction
Générale.

942
01:46:00,060 --> 01:46:04,060
>> Okay, so a lot of people are here today
and they've all speculating that we're going
to

943
01:46:04,060 --> 01:46:11,060
have a new director general. It is with great
pride and honor that I have this opportunity
to

944
01:46:11,060 --> 01:46:16,060
welcome. Oh, I haven't welcome yet. We have
to vote on it. So don't get. But to put your
name

945
01:46:16,060 --> 01:46:21,060
forward to be the next director general of
the City of Pointe Claire. As usual, Ward is
a

946
01:46:21,060 --> 01:46:25,060
gentleman. He's been working for the city of
Pointe Claire for 21 years. He started at the

947
01:46:25,060 --> 01:46:30,060
low levels in the Recreation department and
moved his way up. And today he's sitting in
the

948
01:46:30,060 --> 01:46:40,060
chair as interim director general. He holds
an MBA. He holds a CPA. He's a from Molson

949
01:46:40,060 --> 01:46:46,060
School of Business. He's a passionate Pointe-Claire
resident. He has a young family.

950
01:46:46,060 --> 01:46:51,060
Growing up here, he's. I don't think I've ever
seen somebody so committed to what he does

951
01:46:51,060 --> 01:46:56,060
and to his community. His family has worked
for the city of Pointe Claire. His family

952
01:46:56,060 --> 01:47:02,020
still lives in Pointe Claire, so it's up to
the City council here now to take a vote to
move

953
01:47:02,020 --> 01:47:09,020
this forward. But let's hope it goes the right
way. And then I'll say a few words after that.

954
01:47:09,020 --> 01:47:15,020
So okay, I see a mover and a seconder for the
proposition to appoint Mr. Joseph Ward as

955
01:47:15,020 --> 01:47:19,020
Director general of City of Pointe. Claire.
>> Mike.

956
01:47:19,020 --> 01:47:36,020
>> Second by. All in favor. One last word,
guys. He's 41 years old. He's got 21 years
in the

957
01:47:36,020 --> 01:47:42,020
city. He has a long career in the city of Pointe
Claire. You cannot get a better director

958
01:47:42,020 --> 01:47:46,020
general of a city that somebody is living and
going to be here for a long time. So my Jill
is

959
01:47:46,020 --> 01:47:52,020
going to be a pleasure to work with you for
the next who knows how many years, but so far
it's

960
01:47:52,020 --> 01:48:00,080
been an honor. I'm really, really looking forward
to moving forward with you. All

961

right. You guys were right. You see. >> 12.3

of chill. Congratulations, dude. You're

1009
01:55:06,000 --> 01:55:13,000
more than deserving. I'm really happy for you,
man. I recently received a notice in the mail

1010
01:55:13,000 --> 01:55:17,000
alerting me to the fact that the building right
beside mine is requesting special

1011
01:55:17,000 --> 01:55:23,000
permission to do what I think is deviate away
from the architectural norms specified

1012
01:55:23,000 --> 01:55:29,000
in the Village Code. The. The letter says it's
a minor exemption, but it is anything

1013
01:55:29,000 --> 01:55:35,000
but. It is, in fact, a first step in a process
that will lead to the diminution of the

1014
01:55:35,000 --> 01:55:42,000
said village code and the said village cachet.
These are the village codes words, by the way,

1015
01:55:42,000 --> 01:55:47,000
and it will do this by initiating a deviation
away from architectural continuity

1016
01:55:47,000 --> 01:55:55,000
and unity of facades and roof lines. Again,
all words right out of the village code. For
27

1017
01:55:55,000 --> 01:56:01,060
years I've lived in a heritage home in the
village. All along one side of the home, our

1018
01:56:01,060 --> 01:56:06,060
windows allowing one of the most or one of
the more attractive rooms in the village.

1019
01:56:06,060 --> 01:56:13,060
Many of you have seen it. It is, I think, lives
up to that. That wording. The room is open

1020
01:56:13,060 --> 01:56:17,060
concept with kitchen, dining area and living
room all flowing into each other in

1021
01:56:17,060 --> 01:56:22,060
succession. The sun rises in the kitchen and
sets in the far end of the living room, so
that

1022
01:56:22,060 --> 01:56:29,060
the entire open area receives sun all day.
37 Cartier is 15ft away from this room and
runs

1023
01:56:29,060 --> 01:56:36,060
the entire distance of the room. A third story
would absolutely block sunlight the entire
day

1024
01:56:36,060 --> 01:56:42,060
on both first and second floors. So by seriously
diminishing the quality of life of an existing

1025
01:56:42,060 --> 01:56:47,060
heritage building in the village, is this not
detracting from the preservation of the

1026
01:56:47,060 --> 01:56:55,060
village cachet as worded in the village code?
Secondly, the village is composed of three

1027
01:56:55,060 --> 01:57:01,020
architectural styles traditional Québécois,
Victorian and Boomtown, the

1028
01:57:01,020 --> 01:57:09,020
latter being the most dominant. 37. Kachi is
quintessential boomtown. In fact, the picture

1029
01:57:09,020 --> 01:57:16,020
of Boomtown Boomtown in the Village Code is,
I believe, an early incarnation of that

1030
01:57:16,020 --> 01:57:23,020
building of 37 khaki. Two days ago, I walked
out my front door and visually could see four

1031
01:57:23,020 --> 01:57:31,020
homes with the same style and staggered rooflines.
Ironically, my barn has the same staggered

1032
01:57:31,020 --> 01:57:37,020
roofline, so my home was is typical Québécois,
but the barn itself, which was built after,

1033
01:57:37,020 --> 01:57:41,020
is actually Boomtown, which is kind of interesting.
I have a Boomtown barn in a Québécois

1034
01:57:41,020 --> 01:57:49,020
home. The village code specifies that we should
not, and I quote, deviate away from

1035
01:57:49,020 --> 01:57:57,020
architectural continuity and should encourage
a homogenous built form, end quote. The

1036
01:57:57,020 --> 01:58:05,080
three blocks of Cartier leading to the village
consist of predominantly two story

1037
01:58:05,080 --> 01:58:12,080
boomtown homes. If you drive down Cartier,
that's all it is. There are no three story

1038
01:58:12,080 --> 01:58:19,080
boomtown homes in Pointe Claire. None. Not
one. And by allowing one with a third floor,
we are

1039
01:58:19,080 --> 01:58:25,080
effectively creating a new architectural form,
something the Village Code warns against.

1040
01:58:25,080 --> 01:58:30,080
And that village. That new form will effectively
stand out like a sore thumb. Because there's

1041
01:58:30,080 --> 01:58:36,080
only one three story building in the village
other than this proposed one, and that would
be

1042
01:58:36,080 --> 01:58:41,080
the the Charlevoix or the the former pioneer.
So you go down Cartier with all your two story

1043
01:58:41,080 --> 01:58:45,080
Boomtown homes. You got blip and then you keep
on going. It's going to look kind of

1044
01:58:45,080 --> 01:58:50,080
weird. It's a 20 by 20 foot home, which will
be three times the height that it is wide.
So

1045
01:58:50,080 --> 01:58:59,080
it's effectively a skyscraper in the village,
or it'll look like one. In clause one. The

1046
01:58:59,080 --> 01:59:05,040
village code states, and I quote again, all
constructions should be of a height, scale

1047
01:59:05,040 --> 01:59:12,040
and width similar to adjacent buildings and
to building types in the sector. Quoted. I'm
not

1048
01:59:12,040 --> 01:59:16,040
making this up. This is straight out of the
village code. Clause five states the

1049
01:59:16,040 --> 01:59:23,040
main floor and tops of structures must align
with neighboring buildings. 37

1050
01:59:23,040 --> 01:59:30,040
Cartier 39 Cartier. One would hope the character
and uniqueness of the village and

1051
01:59:30,040 --> 01:59:36,040
city are in dire need of protection, Mr. Mayor,
and the first line of defense should be

1052
01:59:36,040 --> 01:59:43,040
our CCU or PAC committee. And I'm just wondering
how in the world did this project project

1053
01:59:43,040 --> 01:59:50,040
make it to this point and make it to council?
And has anybody on PAC read the Village Code?

1054
01:59:50,040 --> 01:59:57,040
I'm just wondering. It's just a question. Anyhow,
I would urge all of you to not make this

1055
01:59:57,040 --> 02:00:01,000
step, take this step of starting the diminuation
of what I think is the cachet of

1056
02:00:01,000 --> 02:00:06,000
the village, because it's moderate, it's moderate
height, gives it part of part of its

1057
02:00:06,000 --> 02:00:11,000
charm and its architectural heritage as part
of its charm. You take one building, you look

1058
02:00:11,000 --> 02:00:15,000
at it and you go, it's it's a hokey little
building, but all those hokey little buildings

1059
02:00:15,000 --> 02:00:19,000
together make up a pretty cool village. So
I would hope that you can protect this hokey

1060
02:00:19,000 --> 02:00:25,000
little village or this hokey little building.
Excuse me, 37. Thanks.

1061
02:00:25,000 --> 02:00:34,000
>> Thank you. >> Anybody else? Okay. 17.1 consider

to say

1140
02:10:32,000 --> 02:10:39,000
that I'm not against everything that's happening
here per se, but I think this file has been

1141
02:10:39,000 --> 02:10:45,000
gone through a lot. And I think, you know,
there's no one reason why I'm against any of
this,

1142
02:10:45,000 --> 02:10:50,000
but I think that my concerns are about the
interpretations of a lot of what's going on

1143
02:10:50,000 --> 02:10:56,000
here. And I think this possibly gives the owner
a chance to, to get back to what I think he

1144
02:10:56,000 --> 02:11:03,060
originally wanted, they originally wanted.
So I will be voting against this.

to

1147
02:11:31,060 --> 02:11:35,060
state that I'm not against the addition of
a third floor, but rather against the esthetics
of

1148
02:11:35,060 --> 02:11:41,060
the projects presented as per the village code
UP2, subsection architecture.

1149

Article eight states. Apart from reconstruction
or restoration of a building of

1150
02:11:46,060 --> 02:11:52,060
heritage interest based on archival documents,
no construction or transformation

1151
02:11:52,060 --> 02:11:57,060
should have the effect of creating a building
that imitates an old building. I

1152
02:11:57,060 --> 02:12:03,020
believe we are ignoring this article, and this
is why I'm voting against this specific

Merci. >> Thank you.

1229
02:21:20,060 --> 02:21:29,060
>> Just a quick one as well, too. I'll be very
quick. As I said at the last meeting, I

1230
02:21:29,060 --> 02:21:33,060
would have preferred that this property would
be developed commercially, or that the very

1231
02:21:33,060 --> 02:21:39,060
least we have first floor commercial in order
to align with what Doe is doing. And

1232
02:21:39,060 --> 02:21:44,060
because I think it's going to be an important
choke point for people accessing the realm
by

1233
02:21:44,060 --> 02:21:54,060
crossing the sources overpass over the 40,
just in addition to what Miss Ansell raised
in

1234
02:21:54,060 --> 02:21:59,060
the public consultation earlier, I do think
that it is important that we perhaps look at
how

1235
02:21:59,060 --> 02:22:04,020
this is aligned with DD0, because this is a
property that will be cut off from a lot of

1236
02:22:04,020 --> 02:22:10,020
the Pointe Claire services, and I'm just not
certain whether in terms of in terms of traffic,

1237
02:22:10,020 --> 02:22:17,020
in terms of service integration with, with
DD0, that this has been sufficiently defined
at

1238
02:22:17,020 --> 02:22:22,020
that time for me to be able to make a decision.
One thing in particular that that I think

1239
02:22:22,020 --> 02:22:29,020
ought to be considered for this property is
that given the lack of access with Pointe Claire

1240
02:22:29,020 --> 02:22:33,020
services, it should be considered that this
property, through some sort of deal with

1241
02:22:33,020 --> 02:22:39,020
the city of Dollard. Pay a certain amount so
that its citizens perhaps could use the

1242
02:22:39,020 --> 02:22:43,020
services of their pool or civic center or something
of that nature. But, I mean, this is

1243
02:22:43,020 --> 02:22:47,020
just these are things which I think might have
been perhaps a bit better defined before we

1244
02:22:47,020 --> 02:22:52,020
voted on it. So that's all I have to say. Thank
you. >> Yeah. Mr. mayor, just a

1245
02:22:52,020 --> 02:22:57,020
final comment as well. As I explained last
time, my preference is for a commercial

1246
02:22:57,020 --> 02:23:03,080
orientation in that area. I am open to the
comments made by my colleagues, Councilor Matthews

1247
02:23:03,080 --> 02:23:10,080
and Swidsinski, on this matter, but I think
also it was interesting to hear the

1248
02:23:10,080 --> 02:23:16,080
commentaries coming from DD0, I found her interesting
and in some ways connected to some of

1249
02:23:16,080 --> 02:23:20,080
the comments I've had in the past, which is
to be able to think about these projects from

1250
02:23:20,080 --> 02:23:25,080
a perspective of the city of Pointe Claire
and in a much wider way, in terms of the

1251
02:23:25,080 --> 02:23:29,080
services and elements that are included in
when we're considering these kinds of

1252
02:23:29,080 --> 02:23:35,080
developments. So for those reasons, I will
be voting against as well.

1253
02:23:35,080 --> 02:23:57,080
>> Excuse me, just a point. Commercial. Traffic.
Alors je vous quand meme pas besoin de

1254
02:23:57,080 --> 02:24:05,040
regarder une approche preocupar por la peut
pas comme pour le projet.

1255
02:24:05,040 --> 02:24:22,040
>> Can I see a show of hands in favor, please?
Against. So is it. I will be voting. I'll be

1256
02:24:22,040 --> 02:24:33,040
voting in favor of the project. >> Okay. >>
Thank you. So just just

1257
02:24:33,040 --> 02:24:40,040
before we just after I know we did contact
Dollard. We were in the we talked to Dollard.
The

1258
02:24:40,040 --> 02:24:44,040
integration of the building, the way it looks.
Dollars done, lots of developments in the Tod

1259
02:24:44,040 --> 02:24:50,040
for people who don't know where the Tod is,
it's transport into the transport oriented

1260
02:24:50,040 --> 02:24:55,040
development, and they're within one kilometer
that dictates the number of doors. It's within

1261
02:24:55,040 --> 02:24:59,040
walking distance of all the commercial. There's
coffee shops, restaurants and grocery

1262
02:24:59,040 --> 02:25:04,000
stores 500ft in the back of that building.
So why? So there's many reasons why it got

1263
02:25:04,000 --> 02:25:08,000
approved. There's a lot of thought went into
it, and there was obviously a lot of

1264
02:25:08,000 --> 02:25:12,000
consideration for commercial down there, but
nobody wanted commercial. There's not a need

1265
02:25:12,000 --> 02:25:16,000
for office, office space and stuff right now
in the West Island. There's a shortage of

1266
02:25:16,000 --> 02:25:22,000
homes, and these people who are development
met the needs that we requested them to do
to get

1267
02:25:22,000 --> 02:25:26,000
as many affordable housing doors there as possible.
So that's why I'm voting for it

1268
02:25:26,000 --> 02:25:36,000
anyway. That being said, number 20 closure.
Do I have a second, a mover and a seconder,
please?

1269
02:25:36,000 --> 02:25:51,000
