Impact to the Central Experimental Farm National Historic Site of Canada, Federal-Designated Structures and the Rideau Canal National Historic Site of Canada and World Heritage Site - June 18, 2021.
1.) Buffering between the Hospital and the Farm seems to be a modest line of trees, which does not appear to rise to the height or width of an effective separating berm. This has significant impacts to the Dominion Observatory Complex, the Saunders Building and the Nutrition Building (Building #60), all Recognized Federal Heritage Buildings.
2.) There does not appear to be any kind of buffer between the staff parking and the Dominion Observatory Complex.
3.) Surface Parking: The Hospital originally asserted that there would be no surface parking, but now the Master Site Plan indicates a considerable amount of the site as surface parking.
4.) Parkade: The Hospital also originally promised no above-grade parking. While only rising four-storeys above grade, the parkade nevertheless presents a prominant elevation towards the Rideau Canal NHSC & WHS...UNESCO has already identified the proposed hospital as a potential threat to the integrity of the Rideau Canal World Heritage Site.
5.) The Dominion Observatory Complex
6.) Bird Life
7.) Planning for a Winter City
8.) The entrance off Maple Drive
9.) Maple Drive and the entrance off Prince of Wales Drive.
10.) In addition, mitigation to the heritage buildings as indicated by the Cultural Heritage Impact Statement.
11.) A changing vision.
