That the Transportation Committee recommend that Council approve waivers to

RECOMMANDATION DU RAPPORT
Que le Comité des transports recommande au Conseil d'approuver les
dérogations au Règlement sur l’utilisation et l’entretien des routes et au
Règlement municipal sur les empiètements pour que Roy Rump & Sons, situé au
1037, chemin Pinecrest, puisse conserver en place, sur l’emprise de la Ville, les
pavés à emboîtement ainsi qu'une voiture, une pompe à air et une pompe à
essence, sous réserve de la signature d’un accord d’empiètement avec la Ville
d’Ottawa et du paiement des frais annuels connexes.
BACKGROUND
On 6 July 2016, the Transportation Committee received a Notice of Motion from
Councillor Fleury on behalf of Councillor Taylor, with regards to a request to waive two
by-laws for a business in his ward. A copy of the Notice of Motion is attached as
Document 1 to this report..
DISCUSSION
Roy Rump & Sons has been operating at 1037 Pinecrest Road, at the corner of
Queensview Road, for several years. They had installed interlocking bricks for the
display of a vintage automobile and vintage air/gas pumps three years ago. While there
were no objections by residents in the community to this display, it came to the attention
of By-Law Services that the display was constructed on the City’s right-of-way.
As the display does not interfere with City operations and the overall opinion of the
community is that the display is a beautification to the area, the ward councillor would
like to ensure it remains.
RURAL IMPLICATIONS
There are no rural implications associated with the recommendation in this report.
CONSULTATION
Public Works and Environmental Services Department
The Public Works and Environmental Services Department is supportive of the report’s
recommendation, as the vintage automobile and vintage air/gas pumps are placed in
3
storage during the winter months, and therefore present no operational challenges or
difficulties to the department.
Planning, Infrastructure and Economic Development Department
Should the proponent demonstrate that the installation does not constitute a safety
concern, in terms of obstructing a driver's sightline, and enter into an encroachment
agreement with the City; Planning and Growth Management has no objection to the
installation. The above-mentioned encroachment agreement would stipulate that the
proponent assume any maintenance and liability issues arising from the installation and
would be subject to the annual encroachment fee as required by the City's
Encroachment By-law.
COMMENTS BY THE WARD COUNCILLOR(S)
I am in full support of this waiver as it enhances the beautification of the area, an
otherwise industrial/commercial space. The Rump station has been a community fixture
for many years and allowing this minor encroachment serves to enhance and promote a
distinct community identity feature.
ADVISORY COMMITTEE(S) COMMENTS
No consultation with the City’s advisory committees was required.
LEGAL IMPLICATIONS
There are no legal impediments to the implementation of the report recommendation.
Should the recommendation be approved, Planning, Infrastructure and Economic
Development staff have advised that the confirmation of the non-obstruction of the
sightline at the site in question will be undertaken by an inspection carried out by the
Area Traffic Management Inspector. Should no site-line obstruction concerns exist,
steps will be taken to enter into an encroachment agreement as set out in the
recommendation and report.
RISK MANAGEMENT IMPLICATIONS
As the proponent will be required to enter into an agreement with the City, in which the
proponent assumes any maintenance and liability issues stemming from the installation,
there would be no risk management concerns related to the installation.
4
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
The encroachment is subject to the annual encroachment fee, as required by the City’s
Encroachment By-law.
ACCESSIBILITY IMPACTS
There are no Accessibility Impacts related to this report.
TERM OF COUNCIL PRIORITIES
This report has no direct impacts on the City’s strategic priorities or directions identified
for the current Term of Council.
SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION
Document 1 – Notice of Motion
DISPOSITION
Staff in Planning and Growth Management will implement the recommendations once
