5. Topics to Discuss

 Please welcome our guests, city planners Elise Finnigan and Simi Jerez

Topics to discuss: parking, process to communicate with city, feedback from developers

Lyndsey described past situation of confusion; différence between Riel board and board of adjustments (city
clerks). (see May meeting minutes). 825 Tache was another example of conflict.

City planners said should be consistent between boards. Will follow up with specific clerk to find out process.

Walter: proper recognition as a community board

Parking:
Walter: Survey: key word search – développer type words mentioned many times whereas taxpayers and
résidents not mentioned. Fastest growth in North St Boniface, however, not recognized. City of Victoria invites
résidence associations to the table for development opportunities.

Lyndsey : 225 Bertrand situation frustrating, Nathan Dyck’s unsuccessful proposals. Paragon’s unsuccessful
proposal due to parking.

Elise: She always refer developers to OSBRA. But Winnipeg has no manditory consultation. Perception amoung
developers that anything goes in terms of parking dimensions (accessible). Especially winter, need larger
widths. 50’ wide lot can fit 5 stalls perpendiular to lane. Have to balance évaluation of proposals to future
tenants. In St Boniface 40% walk, bike or public transit. Other areas (St Norbert, St Vital) parking ratio is 0.95.
210 Masion has 2 units without a car. Parking, especially underground is expensive. All contributed to coming
to final conclusion of allowing one unit without a car. Could have had required assessment of on street parking.

Letter of support : Notre Dame; they were not supportive, need to have more communication prior to
submitting letter to iron out détails. Key messages planners send to developers : projects need to blend into
community as much as possible with focus on pedestrian orientation, capturing this in multi-family projects.
Want to build off of strengths of community and add to qualtity. Also créâtes open line of communication for
us to relay important local information. For example, need space for garbage, recycling, compost carts (7 units
thresholds for carts).
**July 4 appeal for Bertrand and Thomas Berry. Another project on Tache (780). 13 story not supportive, 6 ish
supportive with specific adjustments.
