Tribunal modifies subdivision conditions regarding stormwater approvals and fencing, but upholds parkland, well, and phasing requirements.
The appellant appealed the City of Ottawa's zoning by-law amendment and draft plan of subdivision conditions for a 72-lot residential subdivision in the Village of Greely.
The parties settled the zoning by-law amendment prior to the hearing.
The Tribunal adjudicated the contested subdivision conditions relating to stormwater management, parkland dedication, fencing, well compliance, subdivision registration phasing, and grading securities.
The Tribunal found that the City's requirement to complete Drainage Act mapping changes prior to commencing works was unreasonable, allowing those processes to unfold concurrently.
The Tribunal upheld the City's refusal to credit a wildlife corridor and pedestrian pathways towards parkland dedication.
The Tribunal modified the City's fencing requirements to permit page wire fencing along woodlot boundaries instead of chain link.
The Tribunal upheld the City's conditions requiring 0.3 m reserves for well compliance, limiting registration to 40-lot phases, and requiring $7,500 per lot in grading securities.
