MOTION NO. 99/4

 

Moved by Councillor C. Doucet

Seconded by Councillor D. Holmes

 

WHEREAS Section 275 of the Municipal Act, 2001 provides that in the event that less than three-quarters of the outgoing council was re-elected certain actions are restricted.  These actions include the disposition of real or personal property which has a value exceeding $50,000 at the time of disposal; and, making any expenditures or incurring liability which exceeds $50,000.  The restrictions are in effect until December 1, 2010 when the new Council is sworn in; and

 

WHEREAS the City has received correspondence from the law firm of Sack Goldblatt Mitchell, solicitors for the Friends of Lansdowne Inc. (the group that has made application to quash the decisions taken by Council in June, 2010 with respect to the Lansdowne Partnership Plan) requesting that this matter be deferred for consideration to the new Council and advising of their intent to take further legal action, if it is not; and

 

WHEREAS Council, sitting as Committee of the Whole, has heard from over thirty delegations, many of whom have expressed the opinion that deferral of this matter to the new Council would be in the best interest of the City of Ottawa and its taxpayers;

 

WHEREAS the current Council’s consideration of the Lansdowne Integrated Site Plan should be deferred to the newly elected Council because there are unknown costs associated with the implementation of the Site Plan that have not been clearly identified nor included in the Lansdowne Partnership Plan budget that was approved by Council on June 28, 2010; and

 

WHEREAS one of these costs relates to the Phase I and II Environmental Site Assessments for Lansdowne; and

WHEREAS the City will assume all responsibility for any remediation resulting from existing environmental conditions at the Lansdowne site as per the Lansdowne Partnership Plan Project Agreement Framework; and

 

WHEREAS an analysis of the Phase I and II Environmental Site Assessment for Lansdowne raises two key concerns:

1.      Unbudgeted cost and liability; and

2.      Site remediation will require complex judgements to be made about acceptable risks, hazardous waste management, public health protection and other matters that should not be delegated to staff, but rather presented, discussed and debated by Council and in public; and

3.       

WHEREAS a peer review of the Phase I and II Environmental Site Assessments for Lansdowne by an environmental consulting firm, XCG Environmental Engineers and Scientists, estimates the cost of removing contaminated materials from the Eastern Landfill area and from the northwestern part of the property could be in the order of $20 million. Whether these materials will need to be removed, or whether it will be feasible to leave them in place as the city intends, depends on the outcome of a complex process involving a number of Stakeholders; and

 

WHEREAS the Lansdowne Partnership Plan includes a budgeted cost of $1 million for the relocation of the Coliseum Inc. dome, a recent media story indicates that a suitable new location for the dome has not been found and Coliseum Inc. may seek costs from the City in the order of $5 million; and

 

WHEREAS the Ontario Heritage Trust (OHT) only received a formal written request from the City to obtain approvals required under the OHT Easement Agreement on Thursday, November 18, 2010, and has been given 60 days to respond.  Therefore, a vote on the Site Plan at this time is premature given that heritage approvals under the Ontario Heritage Act have not been granted; and

 

WHEREAS the short and long-term costs to the City for the new Ottawa Art Gallery (OAG) at Lansdowne are still unknown and require the agreement of the province to move the provincial funding from ArtsCourt to Lansdowne, and this agreement has not been obtained, nor is it likely to be as Lansdowne is part of a sole-sourced redevelopment project, and the province has already refused to be part of the stadium funding; and

 

WHEREAS the Site Plan report delegates authority to staff to approve the final Lansdowne Site Plan and removes oversight and approval from Council; and the incoming Council may want to examine financial commitments, heritage and public space losses or alternatives not considered by this council such as the Lansdowne Conservancy in their own right and in their own time;

 

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the decision on the Lansdowne Site Plan be deferred until after the new Council is sworn in on December 1, 2010 so that the 10 new Councillors and Mayor have the opportunity to consider and publicly debate the merits of the staff Site Plan report, and its encumbering clauses, in addition to the 13 returning members of Council. 

 

LOST on a division of 6 YEAS to 16 NAYS as follows:

 

YEAS (6):       Councillors D. Holmes, C. Leadman, C. Doucet, P. Feltmate, A. Cullen and J. Legendre.

Seconded by Councillor C. Leadman

 

WHEREAS the following Motion No. 92/41 was carried at a Special Committee of the Whole Meeting on June 28, 2010:

 

WHEREAS Council has never contemplated selling any of Lansdowne Park. The direction has been very clear -- retain ownership. At the end of the leases all parts of Lansdowne Park -- the park and open space, the stadium and commercial components -- are owned by the City of Ottawa.

 

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT City Council confirm its policy of not selling any of the land that comprises Lansdowne Park.

 

WHEREAS given that the above noted resolution of Council clearly states that “City Council confirm its policy of not selling any of the land that comprises Lansdowne Park”, it is important to note that Document 6, Conditions for Lansdowne Integrated Site Plan Approval, which are “specifically those conditions related to finalizing the site plan approval and for executing the required site plan agreement” includes the following clause:

 

4. Private Agreement for Common Elements

(a)  Should the site be severed in the future, a Private Agreement which shall be binding upon the owners and all subsequent purchasers that it shall ensure that the future Owner of any freehold units shall be entered into to deal with the joint use, maintenance and liability of the common elements, including but not limited to common party walls, exterior walls; common structural elements such as the roof, foundations; common parking areas; private sewers; and watermains for the mutual benefit and joint use of the owners; and any other elements located in the common property; and the private Agreement shall be filed with the General Manager, Planning and Growth Management Department.

 

(b)  An opinion from a solicitor authorized to practice law in the Province of Ontario that the private Agreement is binding upon the owners of the land and all subsequent purchasers to deal with the matters referred to in  (a) shall be filed with the General Manager, Planning and Growth Management Department.

 

(c)  The Joint Use, Maintenance and Liability Private Agreement shall be registered on title at no cost to the City, and a copy shall be provided to the City.

 

WHEREAS the inclusion of this clause would allow for the future severing of the Site;

 

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that Document 6, clause No. 4, Private Agreement for Common Elements, should removed from the Site Plan report because it is contrary to Motion No. 92/41 which clearly states that all of Lansdowne Park should remain in public ownership and no part of the site should be severed in the future.
