The two-storey detached dwelling is proposed to be demolished due to its derelict state. The City of Ottawa issued an Order under the Property Standards Bylaw on May 11, 2017, instructing the owners to obtain a building permit in order to do the required repairs. The Order identifies evidence of deterioration and damage to walls, settlement of walls as well as broken windows, and requires that the owner provide a report by a licenced professional structural engineer as to the structural integrity of the entire building. Due to the eventuality of the site being redeveloped, the owner prefers to demolish the building.

Plan of Condominium

The proposed development of the subject lands is proposed as a Plan of Condominium. The purpose of the Plan of Condominium application is to establish development parcels along a private internal street that can be developed individually. In essence, the application will act as a plan of subdivision for the lands, where the streets and common areas will be maintained and owned jointly by all members of the condominium corporation. The draft Plan of Condominium proposes the creation of three units (development parcels) as well as a common element block which includes the private street and other common lands abutting Riverside Drive. Remnant lands at the north edge of the block will not form part of the Condominium and will have an easement for access across the condominium lands.
