3.                               RIGHT-OF-WAY LIGHTING POLICY

 

 

Committee recommendations as amended

 

That Council approve:

 

1.                  The City-wide Right-of-Way Lighting Policy as outlined in Document 3, as amended:

 

That Section 4.12 of Document 3 be replaced by the following:

 

4.12     BEAVERBROOK & CHIMO AREA Lawn Lamps

Portions of the Beaverbrook neighbourhood and the Chimo area of the Katimavik neighbourhood in the former City of Kanata have "globe" style lawn lamps that were installed along residential streets at the time the neighbourhoods were originally developed.   The two areas subject to this Policy subsection are illustrated in D.3 Existing Lawn Lamps in Appendix D Map Schedules.  The lawn lamps in Beaverbrook are primarily located on private property, are owned by the homeowner but have been maintained by the City.  In the Chimo portion of Katimavik the lawn lamps are located on the public street right-of-way and are owned and maintained by the City.  In addition to the lawn lamps, there is existing "marker" streetlights located at some street intersections in both neighbourhoods.

 

Beaverbrook:

The lighting approach in Beaverbrook is to keep in place existing intersection marker lighting and to upgrade all unlit streets to “marker” lighting standard.  Marker lights will be installed at unlit street intersections and sharp bends in roads.  Such upgrades will occur incrementally as Council approves required budgets. The new marker lights are to be selected from Appendix B.

 

Approved Lighting Equipment:

When unlit streets are upgraded to the marker lighting standard, written notice will be given by the City to each affected homeowner that lawn lamps on private property will no longer be maintained / replaced by the City.  Such maintenance / replacement will be the responsibility of the homeowner as of the date the written notice is given.  Electric power to the individual lawn lamps will continue to be paid for by the homeowner.

 


Chimo Area of Katimavik: 

The lighting approach for the Chimo area of the Katimavik neighbourhood is to replace the existing lawn lamps with “full continuous” street lighting.  The lighting equipment is to be selected from B.1, “Special Areas” lighting or from B.2 “All Other Areas” lighting in Appendix B, Approved Lighting Equipment.  Consultation with residents directly affected by the lawn lamp replacement will be undertaken prior to lighting equipment selection.  Such upgrades will occur incrementally at the time the existing lawn lamps reach the end of their life cycle as determined by the Director of Traffic and Parking Operations and as Council approves required budgets. When the lawn lamps are replaced with street lighting equipment, the lighting levels will be upgraded to meet the requirements of Table 2.1 Required Average Roadway Lighting Levels  (i.e. to one half of the ANSI/IESNA recommended light levels).

 

2.         WHEREAS the lighting fixtures proposed to replace city-owned lawn lights in Katimavik are very different in appearance from existing lighting on most streets;

 

AND WHEREAS one of the goals of the harmonization of policies in the City of Ottawa has been to preserve the distinct character of our different neighbourhoods whenever possible;

 

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT fixtures used to replace city-owned lawn light systems be those with some similarity to the fixtures being replaced, even it means using fixtures recommended for special areas.

 

CARRIED as amended by the following Motion:

2.                  Approve the application of $1.8 M in the increased tipping fees revenues from the additional tonnage accepted at Trail Road and apply the $1.2 M in savings from residential tonnage not delivered to the Carp Landfill, to offset the capital and operating costs outlined in this report; and

 

3.                  Approve the purchase of spray on cover system equipment from the existing 2007 Approved Capital Budget authority in the amount of approximately $85,000; and

 

4.                  Approve additional 2007 Capital Budget authority and the transfer of $2,865,000 from the Solid Waste Reserve to Capital Account 904306 Solid Waste Fleet for the purchase of the required equipment as a result of the identified increase in tonnages at the Trail Waste Facility.
