BACKGROUND
In October 2000, the Region of Ottawa-Carleton adopted Regional Official Plan Amendment 9 (ROPA 9), which expanded the urban boundary by including an additional 724 hectares of land within the urban boundary, situated immediately west of Kanata. Subsequent to ROPA 9 being adopted, the City and the proponents undertook the preparation of the Kanata West Concept Plan (KWCP). In September 2002, Council approved the KWCP, including the passing of several resolutions, which established the framework for financial, environmental, land use, servicing and transportation strategies.
One
of the key transportation links required for the successful implementation of
the KWCP is the extension of Huntmar Road from Maple Grove Road and Hazeldean
Road. As such, in 2004, the Huntmar Road extension was included as a project in
the Development Charges By-law. This report addresses the financial strategies
associated with Front Ending the Huntmar Road extension between Maple Grove
Road and Hazeldean Road.
DISCUSSION
Within the KWCP lands, the owners of the lands established the Kanata West Owners Group (KWOG). On April 12, 2006, Council adopted Official Plan Amendment 39, which authenticated the KWOG as a landowners group in accordance with the provisions of the Official Plan. The City and the KWOG, as co-proponents, completed Phases 1 to 4 of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment process, which included the completion of a Kanata West Transportation Master Plan. On May 24, 2006, Council authorized staff to proceed with the finalization of the Master Plan Environmental Assessment Report and Environmental Screening Report and approved the recommended projects as identified in the Kanata West Transportation Master Plan. The construction of Huntmar Road from Hazeldean Road to Maple Grove Road is one of the projects identified in the Master Plan.
In March 2006, Mattamy (Poole Creek) Ltd. received Draft Plan Approval and Zoning approval for a proposed 41.18 ha subdivision consisting of a mix of approximately 850 single detached and town home units, situated in the southeast and southwest quadrants of the KWCP. One of the conditions of Draft Plan Approval required that Huntmar Road from Maple Grove Road to Hazeldean Road be constructed prior to the issuance of Building Permits.
In order to facilitate the detailed design of the Huntmar Road extension, and in accordance with the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment process, as well as the KWCP, it was necessary to undertake a Schedule C Environmental Assessment Study Report. As such, the Kanata West Owners Group commissioned the preparation of an Environmental Study Report. At the time of the preparation of this report, the Notice of Completion was planned to be advertised for public review and input in accordance with the Class EA process on June 16, 2006. The final Environmental Study Report will also be available to the public at this time. Provided that there are no requests for Bump Ups to the Notice of Completion, Mattamy (Poole Creek) Ltd. intends to finalize the design of the Huntmar Road extension and proceed to construction in summer or early fall of 2006.
The Huntmar Road is a Development Charges funded project and is currently shown with funding being made available in 2009. As such, there is a need for Mattamy (Poole Creek) Ltd. to enter into a Front Ending Agreement with the City, in accordance with Council’s Front Ending Policy, subject to receiving Council approval and satisfactory completion of the Huntmar Road Extension Schedule C Municipal Class Environmental Assessment.
CONSULTATION
Mattamy
(Poole Creek) Ltd. have agreed to participate as the Front-Ender in accordance
with the principles set forth in Document 1 and Document 2.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
The
estimated cost for the design and construction of the required Huntmar Road
extension from Hazeldean Road to Maple Grove Road is $6,000,000. This is
consistent with the Development Charges By-law estimate and will be funded 100%
from Development Charges and Benefit to Existing dollars. Subject to Council
approval, the Front-Enders would be paid back pursuant to the principles set
out in Document 1 and the Council approved Front-Ending Policy as noted in
Document 2.
The total estimated cost to be reimbursed to the Front-Ender in 2009 and the total estimated operational impact to the City is summarized in the following tables.

The
Long Range Financial Plan forecasted the design and construction in 2009 of
Huntmar Road from Hazeldean Road to Maple Grove Road with an estimated
operational impact of $26,880/year beginning in 2010. The Operational Impact
table summarizes the updated operational impact to the section of Huntmar Road
from Hazeldean Road to Maple Grove to the City will be an additional
$16,800/per year starting in 2007, for an overall potential tax increase of
0.002%
It
should be noted that if approved by Corporate Services and Economic Development
Committee and Council, this project would become a pre-commitment for 2009 as
per Recommendation 3.
