The Woodpark Community Association is seeking your feedback on its submission to the Ontario Land Tribunal concerning this development. The developer’s (Altaire Group) application to build four semi detached dwellings on this property was denied by the City of Ottawa’s Committee of Adjustment. The developer has appealed this decision to the Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT). The hearing will be held on February 15, 2024.
In its submission to the OLT, the Woodpark Community Association is proposing to raise the issue of the adequacy of the City’s existing infrastructure in the immediate area. The Association will request assurance that, should the project be approved, the neighbouring properties would not be adversely impacted with regard to:
Water supply;
Sewage system capacity;
Stormwater management.
The Association is requesting that you provide your views about the Association’s proposed submission by Monday January 22. You can use the blog comments below to provide your feedback. Please identify yourself in any comments in the blog. Alternatively, you can send an email to woodpark@woodpark.ca.
Thank you!

Dealing with concerned citizens they simply say that everything is fine. And then we find out (too late of …
When the semi was built across from me on Woodland the developer and the city did not realize there was a storm sewer and where it was. The excavation company damaged the pipe as it was on the west side of the street on the side of the development and they did not know it was there. Fortunately for them the two units and the next single had the sump pumps tied into the storm sewer. I found out that this is permitted provide the storm sewer can handle it. I think that all of the houses on Woodland have sump pump water discharged into the ditches, unless some are discharged internally into the sanitary sewer which is illegal.
