Moved by Councillor R. Bloess
Seconded by Councillor B. Monette
That Recommendation 2 be amended to add the following:
WHEREAS one of the main
reasons for initiating the current Interprovincial Crossing Study is the need
to resolve the heavy truck traffic volume through the City's downtown core
along the King Edward / Rideau / Waller/ Nicholas (KERWN) corridor; and
WHEREAS the preliminary
findings in Phase 1 of the Interprovincial Crossings Study indicated that the
KERWN corridor should remain open to trucks and would likely continue to carry
approximately 60% of the total future interprovincial truck movement, meaning
that no significant reduction to truck volumes on King Edward will be realized;
and
WHEREAS Phase 2B of the
Interprovincial Crossings Study will build upon the results of Phase 1 and be
limited to the consideration of three possible corridors for an additional
interprovincial crossing; and
WHEREAS the Ottawa
Official Plan calls for removal of the truck route designation from the King
Edward / Rideau / Waller/ Nicholas corridor upon completion of a new
interprovincial crossing; and
WHEREAS there is an
expectation by the residents of Sandy Hill and Lowertown that a new crossing
would result in a ban of heavy through-trucks from this corridor; and

remain open to heavy trucks;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED
THAT while recognizing that the Ottawa Official Plan calls for removal of the

Interprovincial Crossing Study proponents be requested to undertake a
comprehensive study of the diversion of all trucks from the KERWN corridor and

i) Includes an analysis of the number and type of trucks
likely to continue using KERWN and the number being diverted to a new east end
crossing if the truck route designation is removed as per the City of Ottawa
Official Plan;
ii) Determines the feasibility and implications of a complete
ban of intercity heavy trucks from the KERWN corridor;

submits to the Minister that a new landfill at its Carp Road site is in the public
interest; and
WHEREAS since the current Waste Management landfill
has been accepting almost no waste in the last two years and area
municipalities, businesses and waste haulers have had no trouble finding waste
disposal options without significant cost increases to customers, shows there
is no overwhelming need or public interest from this sector for more landfill
space in the region; and
WHEREAS the City of Ottawa has developed a suite of
technologies aimed at diverting residential waste from landfill, including
organics recycling, and has the capacity to manage residential waste without
the need for an expansion of Waste Management’s facility including a new
landfill show there is no public interest from this sector for a new landfill;

WHEREAS the Minister of the Environment is only to
approve terms of reference if he or she is satisfied that an
environmental assessment prepared in accordance with the approved terms of
reference will be consistent with the purpose of the EA Act and the public interest;

terms of reference have found them wanting in several significant areas;

WHEREAS this
exemption allows for a use which is highly uncharacteristic of this dense,
predominantly residential and historic neighbourhood;
WHEREAS Since the

necessary in the past for the AGCO to include certain conditions with regards
to the operation and use of the restaurant's liquor licence to prevent the
impending restaurant from inadvertently operating as a bar;
AND WHEREAS there
have been objections expressed by the community as well as enforcement concerns
related to numerous noise complaints recorded against this location when it had

issued a license to sell liquor except if the license is not in the public
interest having regard to the needs and wishes of the residents of the
municipality in which the premises are located;
AND WHEREAS Section
7.1 of Ontario Regulation 719, under the Liquor Licence Act, provides that “the
board of the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario shall consider a
resolution of the council of the municipality, in which are located the
premises for which a person makes an application to sell liquor or holds a
license to sell liquor, as proof of the needs and wishes of the residents of
the municipality for the purposes of clause 6(2) (h) of the Act”;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT
Council petition the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario to indicate that
it approves of the operation as a restaurant but to insure that it does not
operate as a bar, the following restrictions be imposed:

Liquor may not be served prior to 5:00 p.m.
2-
Liquor may not be served after 11:00 p.m.
