  Moved by C. Kelly
  Seconded by D. Brown

  WHEREAS the City is considering purchasing the property at 5689 Ferry Road at a cost of roughly $1.95 million plus applicable taxes; and

  WHEREAS the purchase of this property is supported by Policy 11.6(5) of the Official Plan, which discusses the acquisition of lands with natural heritage significance; and

  WHEREAS staff have identified this property as an especially valuable opportunity for the City; and 

  WHEREAS staff have noted the forest conservation and reforestation potential of the property and it’s ability to make an important contribution to the conservation of Ottawa’s rural forests and the City’s goal of achieving it’s 40% canopy cover target; and 

  WHEREAS tree planting, forest conservation, and reforestation are a vital component of the City’s approach to addressing climate change; and 

  WHEREAS the property has a number of challenges associated with its long-term management that could add significant costs to the City, including multiple buildings, a burial ground that must be located, a lack of secure premises, and more; and 

  WHEREAS the long-term costs to the City for management of the property will not be fully known until a management plan is developed, which could result in costs that reduce the City’s ability to purchase other rural lands in need of protection; and 

  WHEREAS the subject property is more than 30km away from the City’s urban boundary, has no significant agricultural potential based on LEAR data, and has no significant development potential based on applicable zoning and other restrictions; and

  WHEREAS these restrictions have the effect of ensuring that the natural heritage features on the property are not presently at risk of being lost to an alternative use; and

  WHEREAS in consideration of the relevant facts, on January 29th, Council voted to defer the decision on the purchase of the property on the basis that a better arrangement could be realized – one which could lead to the preservation of the lands in question while better ensuring public funds remain available to support the protection of additional lands in rural Ottawa. 

  THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that Council approve the fee simple acquisition of a 223-acre parcel of land, including structures, legally described as Pt Lt B, C, D Con Gore on Chaudiere Lake Fitzroy as in N773438 except Pt 1 4R23277; West Carleton, (PIN 04559-1843) and as outlined in documents 1 & 2 of the original report to Council, from Marion Elizabeth Badham for the total consideration of $1,950,000 plus applicable taxes and closing costs; and

  BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that Council delegate authority to the Director, Housing Solutions and Investment Services to enter into a Purchase Agreement for the acquisition of 5689 Ferry Road as described in the original report; and 

  BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that staff be directed to proceed with land severance applications to establish two separate lots; where the retained and primary parcel of land contains the most ecologically sensitive features intended for conservation and reforestation opportunities; and where two small secondary parcels be intended for private sale; while following all existing planning processes; and 

  BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that staff be directed to explore the possibility of applying for a conservation easement on the retained parcel to ensure natural features and areas are protected from future development; and 

  BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED staff be directed to explore the possibility of pursuing either a management agreement with or land transfer at a nominal price to a suitable partner or partners so, as to reduce the City’s long-term operating costs of the retained parcel; and

  BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that any revenue generated from the potential sale of the severed secondary parcels or the potential transfer of the retained parcel be allocated to a special account established for the sole purpose of future conservation efforts on the retained parcel and that these funds be made available to management partners should the parcel be transferred. 

  Following discussion on this item, at the request of Councillor Menard, the motion was severed for voting purposes as outlined below.

Inquiries

28.1

OCC-2025-04 - Overland Flooding - Fisher Ave / Kingston Ave and Experimental Farm

Moved by Councillor R. Brockington

On March 16, 2025 a flash-thaw and steady rain resulted in large volumes of surface water that caused flooding across the City.

In Carlington, water from the western sections of the Experimental Farm, overwhelmed a culvert on Kingston Avenue, submerging the road and penetrating several homes on Kingston, Vale and Trenton, in addition to flooding the outdoor parking of the southern tower of the Fisher Estates apartments and Fisher Road, which Emergency Services eventually closed to all traffic.

Q1. What is Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada’s legal responsibility, with respect to containing surface water on its property to ensure water does not travel from its property, on to abutting private properties and municipal roads.

Q2. Is the current culvert, immediately east of 1178 Kingston Avenue sufficient in size to handle expected freshet volumes and will the City confirm it is both in good condition and free of any obstructions.

Q3. During the public consultation/engagement phase on the zoning bylaw amendment application for nine homes on the south side of Kingston Avenue, abutting the Farm, the City Planner, replying to community concerns about the capacity of the culvert, stated, (October 18, 2017) “The applicant has submitted a report titled “Servicing Brief and Stormwater Management Report” which deals with the concerns you have outlined regarding water run off. The city engineer will review the report and ensure that the post development flows are the same or better than the pre development flows.”  Given this commitment, what assessments following the construction of the nine homes on Kingston, which abut the current culvert, were undertaken by the City to ensure water flow was not negatively impacted?

Q4.  Are there any other actions the City can take to mitigate future occurrences of flooding in this specific area?

29.
