3 PUBLIC HEARINGS (CONT D) APPLICATION FOR REZONING IN ORDER TO PERMIT THE CONVERSION OF THE FORMER ST. JOSEPH HOSPITAL SITE TO 210 DWELLING UNITS, 700 PARIS STREET, SUDBURY ONTARIO INC. (CONT D) Letter of concern dated October 19, 2012 received from Lilly Noble, Co-Chair, Ramsey Lake Stewardship Committee, was distributed at the meeting. Petition of objection received October 22, 2012 signed by 318 city residents, was distributed at the meeting. Letter of support dated October 22, 2012 received from Leona Redden, area resident, was distributed at the meeting. Michael Allen, the applicant, was present. The Manager of Development Approvals outlined the application to the Committee. Mr. Allen gave an electronic presentation regarding the development. He stated the subject property is within Living Area 1 and they are proposing a zoning change from Institutional & Parkland to R4 Site Specific to accommodate the proposed residential condominium development. The proposal is to redevelop and reinstate the abandoned land-use, building and infrastructure to accommodate 125 condominium units within the existing building and 85 condominium units to the south of the original building. He informed the original proposal was for 125 condominium units in the existing buildings, 65 condominium units to the north of the original building, a wellness facility/centre and a restaurant. From information, comments and concerns raised by the community an amended proposal is being presented. The commercial component has been removed and the new condominium building has been relocated from the northerly portion to the southerly portion of the property. There has been a reduction of entry/exit access points along Paris Street, a majority of the surface parking has been relocated into the parking structure and a reduction of the building coverage from 45% to 33.5% and an increase of landscape coverage from 20.6% to 41% has been developed. He reviewed the proposed site plan, the existing site access and mobility and the proposed site access and mobility. He explained the traffic impact study prepared by Transplan & Associates, which shows the primary access to the site being via the existing Boland Avenue Intersection. This intersection will provide access to the parking garage and the front of both buildings. All other access points will be secondary to and from the site. He explained there will be 332 parking spaces provided in the parking structure, 19 surface parking spaces and 150 bicycle parking spots. Planning Committee ( ) 3

4 PUBLIC HEARINGS (CONT D) APPLICATION FOR REZONING IN ORDER TO PERMIT THE CONVERSION OF THE FORMER ST. JOSEPH HOSPITAL SITE TO 210 DWELLING UNITS, 700 PARIS STREET, SUDBURY ONTARIO INC. (CONT D) Mark Elliot, Mark Elliott & Associates Landscape Architect, explained the landscape concept. He stated there will be a balance between the natural and urban environment. The pedestrian and bicycle paths and the environmental controls will be taken into consideration with the existing surrounding infrastructure, Bell Park and Lake Ramsey. Mr. Allen informed Pinchin Environmental Limited Engineers has been retained have been retained & have commenced an Environmental Assessment and Hazardous Building Material Assessment on all parts of the existing building. RV Anderson Consulting Engineers has been retained for the site/civil engineering for the proposed site development with the understanding of the sensitivity of the water quality surrounding the site. He stated the objective of the proposed development is to redevelop and reinstate an abandoned land-use, building and urban infrastructure for the integration and adaptive reuse for a unique condominium lifestyle within the existing community and residential neighbourhood. The design will transform the original building and site incorporating conventional materials such as stone, stucco, metals and glass; incorporating balconies and rooftop gardens. Leslie Sutherland, area resident, questioned the traffic impact study, including the effect of traffic on area side streets. In response, Mr. Allen stated there will be no traffic impact onto Facer Street or McNaughton Street as the primary access to the property will be at the Boland Avenue intersection. Evan Roberts, area resident, gave an electronic presentation in opposition of the development. He believes the property is part of the Bell Park Covenant and should be returned to the City for parkland use. He believes information regarding the property and the sale has not been released and the City should have been more reactive to the sale. He feels at a minimum, Panoramic Properties should convey 1.56 acres for parkland use. Mike Shantz, area resident, stated he supports the proposal. He feels there has been a multitude of meetings with the developer and City staff and there are no objections from staff. He believes the building as it stands is an eyesore and questions the future of the property if it should remain empty. He believes the development is good for the neighbourhood and the community.

5 PUBLIC HEARINGS (CONT D) APPLICATION FOR REZONING IN ORDER TO PERMIT THE CONVERSION OF THE FORMER ST. JOSEPH HOSPITAL SITE TO 210 DWELLING UNITS, 700 PARIS STREET, SUDBURY ONTARIO INC. (CONT D) Stephane Sauve, area resident, stated he remains concerned about the use of Bell Park Road. He believes, with the design of the building, the rear access will become a significant entrance to the building and the area will become a pick up and drop off zone for residents and used as an alternate access for the parking garage. He believes the new structure does not abide by requirements of the zoning bylaw for offset and the balconies will further encroach. He believes that setbacks should not be altered from zoning by-law requirements for the new use of the property. He stated the helipad should be removed and not be deemed as a permanent structure and condominiums should not be built on it if they are jutting out over a public road. Mr. Allen stated the access from Bell Park Road is to be used as an emergency access to the rear of the property. He stated site plan controls will be put in place through the site plan control agreement and should the rear access require a controlled entrance, it will be put in place. The helipad is a structure that is on the property. The condominiums planned for the helipad will not be built to the edge, as there is a planned landscaped terrace for these units. Philip Kennedy, area resident, asked about the improvements to the park and trees, if the trees that will be planted will be large, the development of the service building and the colour of the planned buildings. Mr. Allen stated the site plan will be more detailed; however, they are trying to maintain as many of the existing tress as possible. He stated the materials for the building have not been finalized but believes it will be a sublet natural colour scheme of stone, stucco and glass. John Rodriguez, city resident and former Mayor of the City of Greater Sudbury, stated he was elected as Mayor in In 2007 he was asked by the Sisters if the City was interested in purchasing the property without the existing building. He consulted the CAO of the time and $1.1M was offered for the property without the building. He stated conditions were put on the purchase, including following the priorities of the Sisters. He informed the plan was to incorporate the property into Bell Park and erect a plaque in the name of the Sisters. He stated the Sisters did not purchase the property from the Bell s but from another owner. At that time it was understood that the Ministry of Health was going to pay for the demolition of the building and the Sister s were satisfied with the purchase. He stated in 2008 the Sisters attended his office to inform him the Ministry of Health were no longer agreeing to demolish the building and requested a letter of support be sent to the Ministry from the City. The response of that letter was that the discussions between the Ministry and the Sister were progressing and it was believed there would be a positive outcome. There was no more communication from the Sisters until a call was received informing the City of an unsolicited offer of purchase was received from a developer in Southern Ontario, with 48 hours to decide.

6 PUBLIC HEARINGS (CONT D) APPLICATION FOR REZONING IN ORDER TO PERMIT THE CONVERSION OF THE FORMER ST. JOSEPH HOSPITAL SITE TO 210 DWELLING UNITS, 700 PARIS STREET, SUDBURY ONTARIO INC. (CONT D) A discussion was held and a call was made to the Sisters to request more time, which was refused. At that time it was believed it would cost $4M to $5M to demolish and remove the building and he did not want to put this burden on the taxpayers. The new owners were announced. He stated a request to meet with the new owners was made to ensure they worked with the neighbourhood on redevelopment of the property. He believes this development will bring in at least $1M per year in taxes. He is satisfied with the proposal, believes it is a good step for the City and is in support of the application. Gord Drysdale, city resident, stated the Official Plan states that scenic views of the lake are to remain. With the construction along Ramsey Lake Road, the view is being blocked. He is concerned about the site lines along Paris Street and believes the view of the lake from Boland Avenue will be impacted by the new building. He stated the size of the building will also block the view from Paris Street. He is concerned about the minimizing of the setback and the original footprint of the hospital and believes the existing R-4 setbacks in the zoning by-law should be adhered to. Dan Gray, city resident, stated he is supportive of the changes from the original plan to the current plan, especially as more landscaped area has been added. He feels this is a progressive plan for the area. He believes approximately $1M per year will be paid in taxes. He feels this plan will bring a boost to the economy and send a positive message to developers. He feels the development should be strongly embraced by the community as it will provide sought after housing and will enhance the beauty of the neighbourhood. Doug Sarvas, city resident, stated he is concerned with the traffic study not being realistic as Paris Street becomes backlogged with vehicles at rush hour. He believes specific details are required for the traffic study. He feels the site plan agreement should be made available to the public for review and comments before the development begins and rezoning takes place. The Director of Planning Services stated the conceptual plan that is being viewed largely reflects what will be in the site plan agreement. Hazel Eccelstone, area resident, stated the taxes that are to be collected for the property should not be an issue and the development should be built somewhere else in the city. She believes as other land swaps have occurred on this property, that it is possible to make a land swap for this property. She feels there is no interest in maintaining the lakes or contributing towards arts and culture and believes it is time to review the planning of developments. She requested the property be swapped for another location. Planning Committee ( ) 6

7 PUBLIC HEARINGS (CONT D) APPLICATION FOR REZONING IN ORDER TO PERMIT THE CONVERSION OF THE FORMER ST. JOSEPH HOSPITAL SITE TO 210 DWELLING UNITS, 700 PARIS STREET, SUDBURY ONTARIO INC. (CONT D) Councillor Caldarelli, Ward Councillor, stated there has been a great deal of consultation and work done regarding this development and believes this proposal satisfies most people in the community. The building as it stands is not good for the area or the City. She feels the new proposal is a good compromise with one concern regarding the helipad. She understands the helipad is on Panoramic s property but when walking on Bell Park Road, it appears to be right at the edge of the park. She requested the helipad be removed. She stated she is satisfied with the rest of the proposal. Mr. Allen stated the helipad is part of the design and the building of the condominiums on it will include terraces. He stated modifications to the plans have been made at an increase in cost to the developer, especially with the demolition of the one existing building and the changes to the parking structure. The Chair asked whether there was anyone else in the audience who wished to speak in favour or against this application and seeing none: The Public Hearing concerning this matter was closed and the Planning Committee resumed in order to discuss and vote on the application. The following recommendation was presented: That the City of Greater Sudbury approve the application by Ontario Inc. to amend By-law Z being the Zoning By-law for the City of Greater Sudbury to change the zoning classification from "I", Institutional and "P", Park to "R4(S)", High Density Residential Zone (Special) on lands described as PINS and , Part 2, Plan 53R-3947, Part of Lot 5 in Concessions 2 and 3, Township of McKim, subject to the following conditions: 1.
