In addition to the Committee Recommendation:

 

WHEREAS on April 19, 1989, the former City of Ottawa passed a Motion 11 to 1 resolving that Lansdowne Park and other city facilities not be leased to any future arms exhibitions;

 

AND WHEREAS for the first time in 20 years a Canadian exhibition of military hardware and technology, called CANSEC 2009, took place at Lansdowne Park from 27-28 May; 

 

AND WHEREAS the arms trade has little or no consideration of moral or humanitarian issues in that weapons can and have been used against civilians;

 

AND WHEREAS exports of Canadian military equipment and components end up in countries which persistently violate human rights;

AND WHEREAS the international arms trade serves to increase militarization throughout the world and is inconsistent with arms limitations efforts;

 

AND WHEREAS Lansdowne Park is a publicly supported recreation and trade show facility;

 

AND WHEREAS when Lansdowne Park was purchased by the Regional Municipality of Ottawa-Carleton, according to City Legal Services, the 1989 Council motion no longer applied to Lansdowne Park;

10.       Amend Document 3 – Fernbank Community Design Plan, by deleting Figure 18 –Cross –Section for 26m Major Collector Road and replacing it with a new Figure 18 as shown in Attachment 4.

 

11.       Amend Document 4 – Transportation Master Plan, Section 12.1 Plan of Roads by adding a new paragraph before the earlier paragraph that begins with “It is also noteworthy …”, to read as follows:

“The TransCanada Trail runs along a corridor that has been identified in the Ottawa Official Plan and Transportation Master Plan as a long-term (post-2031) potential rapid transit corridor both within Ottawa and possibly beyond to communities such as Carleton Place.  It is also a part of a long-term commuter rail network referenced in the Mayor Task Force on Transportation (2007).  At both Terry Fox Drive and the North-South Arterial extension provision should be made for possible grade separation of these transportation facilities where they intersect this potential rapid transit corridor.  At the North-South Arterial there is also the intersecting new Abbott Street extension, which makes such a grade separation more problematic; consideration of a long-term grade separation of these various transportation facilities at this location will be addressed as part of the EA study being soon undertaken by the City for the Western Transitway segment from Kanata Centrum to Fernbank Road”.

 

12.       Amend Document 4 – Transportation Master Plan, Section 12.2 Pedestrian and Cycling Plans by adding the following sentence at the end of the third paragraph:

As stated in Section 12.2 the issue of potential grade separation must also be considered for this same east-west corridor whose use may in the long term include a rapid transit corridor.

 

13.       Amend Document 5, Master Servicing Study, Section 13.0 Conclusions by adding the following as the second last bullet under Storm Drainage:

·        A local grade raise constraint affects the storm sewer west of Terry Fox Drive between the Glen Cairn SWF and the Trans-Canada Trail.  The constraint area is identified on the Grading Plan and may lead to reduced sewer cover, sewer insulation, units without basements, or geotechnical techniques to raise the grade such as pre-loading or light-weight fill.  Resolution of this local constraint will be addressed at detailed design stage in conjunction with Plans of Subdivision.

 


14.       Amend Document 5, Master Servicing Study, Section 13.0 Conclusions by adding the following as the last bullet under Wastewater Collection:

·        A local grade raise constraint affects the wastewater system west of the Carp River between Hazeldean Road and the Carp Tributary.  The constraint area is identified on the Grading Plan and may lead to reduced sewer cover, sewer insulation, units without basements, or geotechnical techniques to raise the grade such as pre-loading or light-weight fill.  Resolution of this local constraint will be addressed at detailed design stage in conjunction with Plans of Subdivision.
