Heritage Act, based on plans received on May 9 and 30, 2018, on the
condition that staff be directed to work with the applicant to make the

prior to site plan approval, as follows:
a.
meaningfully increasing the use of Indiana
limestone cladding on the building exterior to reduce its contrast and enhance
its bond with the existing building;
b.
modifying the addition by sculpting,
recessing, and breaking up the unrelieved uniformity of the north façade using
elements and forms that are specifically drawn from, and relate to, the
existing Chateau Laurier’s rich palette of forms;
c.
altering the architectural expression on the
north, west and east facades to introduce fenestration patterns, details and
geometric proportions that are specifically drawn from, and relate to, the
existing Chateau Laurier’s elements;

per City Council's direction on June 27, 2018; and
WHEREAS the Applicant has failed to respect the subtle verticality
of the existing building, by providing a dominant vertical expression in the
addition, which fails to be subordinate to the existing building, therefore
failing to incorporate the geometric proportions appropriately; and
WHEREAS, the Applicant has failed to meet the conditions set by
Council in June 2018, notably the “Modification of the design for visual
compatibility with the historic hotel, by referencing such elements as
patterns, details and proportions of the Château Laurier by ensuring that the
application is compliant with the Standards and Guidelines for the Conservation

In 2013, the City
initiated a competitive process to lease the Ottawa Stadium for long-term
baseball use as directed by Council. As a result of this process staff
recommended the Canadian American Association of Professional Baseball (the
Ottawa Champions Baseball Club) as the preferred proponent. At the time,
Council delegated authority to staff to execute the lease agreement based on
the terms and conditions outlined in the report and approved by Council.
At the July 10th Finance
and Economic Development Committee meeting, an IPD titled Revised Agreement
between the City of Ottawa and the Ottawa Champions Baseball Club- 300
Coventry Road, was listed on the agenda. The revised lease agreement is
substantially different from the original agreement approved by Council and
concerns have been raised regarding the delegated authority staff had to
negotiate this new agreement.
As a result, I am asking
if staff could:
1.
Identify the specific delegated
authority staff relied on to negotiate the lease for the stadium where the
terms and conditions are different from the terms and conditions approved by
Council, including the assignment of Naming Rights; and
2.
Identify the specific dates, staff,
and timelines associated with the request for a change in the terms and the
various steps taken to establish the new agreement/lease.
Could staff please provide this information in
advance of the August 28, 2019 Council meeting.

Council adjourned
the meeting at 4:10 pm
