The builder’s Agent provided the attached notice, inviting comments on this proposal.
Of note:
This proposal is for a semi-detached. This is a large lot at 50′ X 130′ (15.24 m X 39.68 m). The builder plans deeper-than-required front and rear yard setbacks. Before the Infill-2 By-law provisions came into effect, the allowable height in Champlain Park was 11 metres (measured to the midline of a peaked roof or the top of a flat roof) and the rear yard setback was 7.5 metres. Now, maximum allowable height has been reduced to 8.5 metres and minimum rear yard setback has been increased according to a sliding scale, based on lot depth. The table below shows what is being proposed for 212 Northwestern in relation to what the By-law provisions allow.
| Champlain Park Exception 2159 | 212 Northwestern Proposed | |
| Front Yard Setback | 6 metres (20 feet) Min. | 8.32 (27.3 feet) |
| By-Law (Infill 1&2) provisions | 212 Northwestern Proposed | |
| Height (to midline of roof) | 8.5 metres (28 feet) Max. | 7.334 metres (24 feet) |
| Rear Yard Setback | 11.887 metres (39 feet) Min | 14.37 metres (47.145 feet) |
| Driveway width | 2.75 metres (9 feet) Max. | 2.74 metres (9 feet) |
Thank you,
Heather

The holiday season is the perfect time to remind vehicle owners that removing all valuables from view in your vehicle will reduce the chance of a break-in.
Remove shopping bags, loose change and electronics; and download the All Valuables Removed card to display in your vehicle.

La période des Fêtes est le moment tout indiqué de rappeler aux automobilistes que ranger à l’abri des regards tout article de valeur se trouvant dans votre véhicule aide à réduire les chances d’un vol par effraction.
Retirez donc les sacs d’emplettes, la menue monnaie et les appareils électroniques; et téléchargez le carton d’avertissement « Objets de valeur retirés », que vous pourrez afficher dans votre véhicule.
Pour d’autres conseils en matière de prévention du crime et de sûreté, consultez le http://ottawapolice.ca/.

Councillor Leiper’s office is looking to hear whether you support or oppose paid parking. A presentation on the Kitchissippi Parking Study is included below.
Consistent with the Municipal Parking Management Strategy, the City of Ottawa Parking Services has deemed that paid parking is warranted along Somerset St / Wellington St / Richmond Rd, but will not include it as a formal recommendation in the Kitchissippi Parking Strategy unless there is concurrence from the two BIAs (Wellington West BIA & Westboro Village BIA) and the Community Associations that are adjacent to the main street between the O-Train tracks and Golden Ave.
Ultimately, an objective of the City’s parking program is to optimize turnover in order to better ensure available and convenient parking for visitors. With this in mind, there are two options being put forward by the City of Ottawa Parking Services which would support this purpose, but to different extents.
Option 1 (if concurrence for paid parking):
Option 2 (if no concurrence for paid parking):
We are asking that you provide either your support (Option 1) or opposition (Option 2) to paid parking no later than Monday, January 9th, 2017.
Thank you so much and please don’t hesitate to reach out with any follow-up questions, concerns or comments.
Kindly,
Fiona

For your opinion to be officially noted, send an e-mail to Fiona Mitchell-Gougeon by January 9th. See http://www.kitchissippiward.ca/ for more contact information.
If you have comments for your Champlain Park neighbours, feel free to add them to this post or reply to the post e-mail if you are a subscriber. If they end up being meaty comments, you might want to also mail them to Fiona. To view the latest comments, see the bottom of this post on the web site (sadly, you only get e-mail notification of new comments if you submit a comment).
Just for fun, and for residents to see the neighbourhood opinion, you can vote in this unscientific (votes aren’t verified as being from people in the neighbourhood) poll. Note that comments submitted within the poll are hard for people to see, so it’s better to comment on this post instead.
