The City of Winnipeg PP&D has responded to two RFIs requests from the CBRA.
Can you confirm that the vehicular parkade entrance for 1269 St. Anne’s Road has been moved to what they call the North, and that the East parkade entrance has been permanently removed?
CITY: Yes, based on the submitted site plan, the only parkade entrance is located on the “north” facade (page 11 of the submitted plans).
What is the Utility Easement at the western border of 1269 St. Anne’s adjoining the Legend condo complex? Is it for an existing utility? If for a future utility, who is the utility and who is the proponent for the infrastructure?
CITY: The utility easement is for Manitoba Hydro. It was registered in 2013, so it does not appear to be related to the new development and I cannot say with certainty which buildings are serviced. The easement is located entirely on the property of the applicant.
Can you confirm that the vehicular curb cut entrance once planned for 1275 St. Anne’s Road onto Creek Bend has been removed? (Landscape plans still indicate it.)
CITY: I have confirmed with the applicant that the approach onto Creek Bend Road was not intended to be included on the landscaping plans. The error will be corrected on the stamped plans.
CITY: Regarding the lighting [of the subject parking lot], a requirement for a lighting plan was not captured in the Zoning Agreement:
‘That for the development of any building, and/or accessory parking area and/or signage within the lands zoned “RMF-S” Residential Multi-Family, or within the lands zoned “C2” Commercial Community, plans shall be submitted showing the location and design of the proposed buildings, the location and design of accessory parking areas, private approaches, garbage enclosures, fencing, landscaping and signage to the Director of Planning, Property and Development and the Riel Community Committee for plan approval prior to the issuance of any building or development permit, and thereafter all to be maintained to the satisfaction of the Director of Planning, Property and Development.’ Unfortunately, because a lighting plan was not included in the agreement, we cannot request that they include it.
A CBRA member asked me about planned parking spaces. According to the City “a total of 136 parking spaces are required. The site has a total of 146 parking spaces, including 27 small car spaces; 6 accessible spaces (including 2 van accessible spaces); 16 unassigned guest parking spaces; and 16 bicycle parking spaces.” As with the 180 Creek Bend apartment project, there is no mandated Peg City car share parking spot as the developer’s plan exceeds the required number of parking spaces. It is unknown how many of the 16 unassigned guest parking spaces will be reserved for customers/patrons of the five Commercial Rental Units (CRUs).
