There is one in Kanata on Wednesday, Feb 8 at the Kanata Recreation Complex at 100 Walter Baker Place, off Terry Fox Drive, from 4 to 8 pm. The purpose of this Open House is to provide the public with an opportunity to review the Detailed Impact Assessment for the Preferred Landfill Footprint, as well as the Comparative Evaluation of Leachate Treatment Alternatives and selection of a Preferred Alternative.

WHAT SHOULD BE LOCATED AT 2 THE PARKWAY


When Beaverbrook was initially under development, there were plans for high rise apartments on the Sandwell Green and adjacent to Beaverbrook Park. Residents were opposed to those locations, with the result that high density housing was moved to the corner of Teron Road and Campeau Drive. The Atriums were eventually constructed there. That building has two wings, at the south end 9 storeys and at the north end 11 storeys, a parking structure and a

large open space, most of which is forested. The open space was one of the most important characteristics of the site, following the principle of including private open space for high density developments. This open space also serves as a buffer to the lower density housing to the north. The post office on the Parkway, built as a single storey building across from a service station (later replaced with town homes), fitted into the lower density area. A high apartment structure on this site would change that, removing the value of the buffer and creating shadows on low density housing. Thats why I support the communitys position on maintaining the existing zoning on the site, which limits the height of a building to 5 storeys. Thank you to those who came out and provided ideas for uses that would better serve the community, while keeping the lower form that suits that location. I am also pleased to work with residents from the three major community associations to develop the concept plans that will demonstrate what the community would support and provide guidelines to property owners.

COMMUNITY NOTICES
The speed limit on the Goulbourn Forced Road is being reduced to 50 kph. A Public Meeting on the AECON report on drainage, Kizell wetlands and Beaver Pond will be held in late February. Future meetings will include an Information Meeting on Radon Gas and a Citywide Planning Summit. A request to zone the property west of Huntmar for an Outlet Mall has been received by the City. This is an initial zoning, not a spot rezoning. Contact me at 613-580-2474, email [email protected], or visit www.mariannewilkinson.com to keep up to date on community matters.
