12.2 Response to Yacht Haven Lane Residents Presentation
Referring to the submitted report entitled Response to Yacht Haven Lane Residents
Presentation, Commissioner Hugenholtz noted that the residents of Yacht Haven Lane
presented to Council in December and requested that the private street be made a
public street. The Commissioner addressed service implications both direct and indirect.
The City's additional service obligations would include annual $3500 snow removal, and
equivalent amount for sidewalk and road maintenance, long term infrastructure
requirements, renewal of underground infrastructure and street and sidewalk
infrastructure.
More challenging are the potential indirect implications as there are a number of private
streets within the City that currently do not receive service, approximately 75 lane
kilometers. The entirety of the service implications if the City takes this on is estimated
annually at $375,000 winter maintenance plus approximately $700,000+ summer
maintenance.
Deputy Commissioner Ouellette stated that at the time Yacht Haven Road was
developed, the residents wanted more property space and that is one of the reasons
Yacht Haven Lane was developed only one lane in width. The presenters / citizens in
December requested that the City take over ownership of the lane. There are a number
of stakeholders involved, including the developer and residents. Yacht Haven Lane is
owned by trustees, the Moorings of Millidgeville.
11
COMMON COUNCIL / CONSEIL COMMUNAL
March 11, 2019 / le 11 mars 2019
Responding to a question, "could the city just plow the lane as a private revenue
stream", the City Manager responded the City could review the matter but normally
would not offer a competitive service to the public that is offered by private business.
Responding to a question on solid waste collection, the Commissioner commented
several factors are considered. Solid Waste collection is done at the doorstep at Yacht
Haven Lane.
Moved by Councillor Reardon, seconded by Councillor Sullivan:
RESOLVED that the submitted report M&C 2019-35: Response to Yacht Haven Lane
Residents Presentation, be received for information.

La Loi sur la gouvernance locale, qui a abroge et remplace la Loi sur les municipalites, ne

12. Affaires municipales evoquees par les fonctionnaires municipaux
12.1 Demolition du batiment vacant, delabre et dangereux situe aux 78-80,
rue Victoria (NID 376459)
Le commissaire adjoint Ouellette presente le travail de 1'equipe du Service de la
croissance et du developpement communautaire et resume les statistiques de la
derniere annee :
• 83 cas de batiments vacants, delabres et dangereux dans Ie programme
• 33 demolitions
• 50 reparations
Rachel Van Wart informe le conseil au sujet du dossier et presente des photos de 1'etat
du batiment.
Le maire lit l'avertissement suivant :
« Les renseignements fournis dans la trousse de documents presentee au conseil
comprennent le rapport de l'inspecteur des batiments indiquant que le batiment situe
aux 78-80, rue Victoria (NID 376459), represente un danger pour la securite du public en
raison, entre autres, du mauvais etat de sa structure. Y a-t-il actuellement un
proprietaire, y compris une personne detenant une servitude sur cette propriete, qui
desire presenter une preuve du contraire, a savoir que le batiment est solide et non
delabre?
Personne ne se presente pour apporter la preuve que le batiment est structurellement
sain et qu'il n'est pas delabre.
Proposition du conseiller MacKenzie, appuyee par la mairesse suppleante McAlary :
RESOLU que, comme le recommande le directeur general dans le rapport soumis
intitule MIC2019-48: Demolition du batiment vacant, delabre et dangereux situe aux

MOTION ADOPTEE.
12.2 Reponse a la presentation des residents concernant I'allee Yacht Haven
Faisant reference au rapport soumis intitule Reponse a la presentation des residents
concernant Pollee Yacht Haven, le commissaire Hugenholtz fait remarquer que les
residents de I'allee Yacht Haven se sont presentes devant le conseil en decembre et
qu'ils ont demande a ce que la rue privee devienne une rue publique. Le commissaire se
penche sur les repercussions directes et indirectes liees au service d'entretien.
Les obligations additionnelles de la Ville en matiere d'entretien comprendraient le
deneigement annuel de 3 500 $ et un montant equivalent pour 1'entretien des trottoirs
et des routes, les besoins en infrastructure a long terme, Ie renouvellement de
l'infrastructure souterraine et l'infrastructure des rues et trottoirs.
Les repercussions indirectes potentielles sont plus difficiles a prevoir, car un certain
nombre de rues privees de la Ville ne sont pas entretenues actuellement, soit environ
75 kilometres de voies. Si la Ville devait assumer cette responsabilite, on estime qu'elle
devrait supporter les frais suivants : 375 000 $ pour 1'entretien hivernal et plus de
700 000 $ pour 1'entretien estival.
Le commissaire adjoint Ouellette declare qu'au moment de I'amenagement de
l'a11ee Yacht Haven, les residents voulaient plus d'espace et que c'est Pune des raisons
pour Iesquelles l'a11ee Yacht Haven a ete amenagee sur une seule voie en Iargeur. En
decembre, les personnes qui se sont presentees devant Ie conseil/citoyens ont
demande a ce que la Ville devienne proprietaire de l'a11ee. Plusieurs intervenants sont
concernes, y compris Ie promoteur et les residents. L'a11ee Yacht Haven appartient a des
administrateurs, les Moorings de Millidgeville.
En reponse a une question, a savoir si la Ville pourrait simplement proceder au
deneigement de I'allee et considerer ce service comme une source de revenus prives, le
25
COMMON COUNCIL / CONSEIL COMMUNAL
March 11, 2019 / le 11 mars 2019
directeur general repond que la Ville pourrait examiner la question, mais qu'elle
n'offrirait normalement pas au public un service d'entretien concurrentiel qui est assure
par des entreprises privees.
En reponse a une question sur la collecte des dechets solides, le commissaire indique
que plusieurs facteurs sont pris en compte. La collecte des dechets solides se fait a la
porte des residences de I'allee Yacht Haven.
Proposition de la conseillere Reardon, appuyee par le conseiller Sullivan :
