Sean,

Alex will be formally signing off on the Cardinal Creek ANSI as soon possible, and no later than April 8th. This is on target with what MNR has conveyed at the meeting earlier in March at Ottawa City Hall, with mid April being the date for final designation. We will be sending a letter notifying you/the Association of the completed process, along with a copy of the final scientific report for the area south of Watters Road, via courier immediately after full sign-off requirements have been fulfilled. 

I trust that this information meets your needs at this time.

Joy

  Sean, 

   

  Alex and I discussed today, that it might be appropriate to send a formal letter/invite letter from the Association to the Minister to ensure that your request to have her attend a future designation event re: Cardinal Creek is recognized in a more formal way. 

   

  Just as suggestion, as I believe that the original request was embedded in an e-mail and may be overlooked.

    Dear Mr. Alex Gardiner and Ms. Joy Sterritt,

     

    On behalf of the Cardinal Creek Community Association (CCCA), we wish to thank you for participating in the Cardinal Creek Karst Earth Sciences ANSI Designation meeting of Friday, March 6, 2009 at 3:00 p.m. at Ottawa City Hall. We were happy that you had the opportunity to inform our elected provincial and municipal representatives that the Cardinal Creek Karst is a provincially significant Earth Sciences ANSI.  

     

    We are pleased to note that the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) committed to a March 31, 2009 Earth Sciences ANSI designation of the Cardinal Creek Karst for the southern portion of the City owned land (excluding the storm water management facility). The CCCA looks forward to receiving a letter from the two MNR Directors responsible for signing off on the ANSI designation, along with a copy of the MNR's scientific report early in April 2009. Upon receipt of this written confirmation of the ANSI designation, we plan on approaching the Minister of Natural Resources office for a potential press release, public announcement and photo opportunity as this will symbolize the completion of the first step of a long two step process.  More importantly, it will also symbolize the protection of a natural gem for our kids and future generations. This is a positive step forward.

     

    Since the CCCA has now been informed that most ANSI designations take about 2 years to finalize, we will continue to work with MNR staff and those of the City of Ottawa to bring step 2 to a successful conclusion, hopefully later in Fall 2009.  We understand that the MNR Kemptville office staff will be following up with Mrs. Wright, the land owner to the north of Watters Road, to see if they can come to an agreement on the Earth Sciences ANSI designation of her land.  The CCCA also understands that the MNR staff will raise three positive aspects with Mrs. Wright, both verbally and in writing:

     

    1) Introduce and explain the Province of Ontario's Conservation Land Tax Incentive Program and the 100% tax exemption that she can apply for;

     

    2) Present the City of Ottawa's Green Space Acquisition (Compensation) Policy re: Urban Natural Features (UNF) as outlined in Section 5.2 of the City of Ottawa's Official Plan and inform Mrs. Wright that she can apply to the City for acquisition of this portion (estimated to be approx. 110 to 140 M) of her land. The City's environmental staff may wish to provide MNR staff with further information on this matter; and,

     

    3) Discuss some form of recognition of the Wright Family and/or her deceased husband in a future MNR communication about the Cardinal Creek Karst Earth Sciences ANSI designation of the privately owned Wright land. Should the MNR be unable to adjust its policy on this matter, the CCCA plans on  approaching the City of Ottawa through its Commemorative process and seek Council approval for the naming of the karst as the "Wright Cardinal Creek Karst" to recognize the legacy and heritage value of the land that the Wright family has preserved for over 50 years. 

     

    While it should be noted that the City of Ottawa environmental planning staff do not have an official position on a MNR Earth Sciences ANSI designation of the Wright land north of Watters Road, the map attached to their letter, dated February 17, 2009, clearly outlines the extent of the karst formation as per the Golder Report (see red highlights).  This map shows the karst formation extending approximately 150 meters north of Watters Road and includes all of PIN 145260100 located to the south of Watters Road East. It is important to note that the City's letter supports the Earth Sciences ANSI designation of the karst south of Watters Road East with the exception of the storm water management facility. 

     

    Throughout our discussions on Friday afternoon, it became clear that MNR staff will also be required to contact Mr. Bill Harper, the City Surveyor (613-762-8635) to obtain the precise dimensions of the City of Ottawa's Road Right of Way (RRW) ownership north of Watters Road East. This can be accomplished over the summer months as some survey field work is likely to be required. One shld note that the southern limits of the forced road were confirmed by Plan 50R-6918-1990. 

     

    In closing, the CCCA plans on holding discussions with the City of Ottawa's Public Works staff to come to an understanding on what type of commemorative plaque can be placed on the City owned Cardinal Creek Karst site (south of Watters Road East) to recognize the Provincially Significant Earth Sciences ANSI Designation.  We will be sure to take into consideration the views that MNR staff raised at our meeting.  We also plan on speaking with the Minister of Natural Resources Office to pursue the possibility of a public announcement, press release and photo opportunity.

     

    On behalf of the CCCA, I would like to thank you both for your assistance in bringing this important community matter to fruition.

     

    Sincerely,
