‘The trees are going to come down’: city Protesters of Beaver Pond development pack public meeting BLAIR EDWARDS KOURIER-STANDARD Nothing will stop the development of the Beaver Pond lands, said a City of Ottawa lawyer. “KNL has a right to develop the lands,” said city solicitor Tim Marc at a public meeting to discuss the development of the South March Highlands at the Mlacak Centre on Thursday, July 15. “Let me be clear on this, the trees are going to come down.” KNL Development Ltd., a partnership of developers Urbandale Corp. and Richcraft Homes, had planned to begin clear-cutting trees on eight hectares of land north of the Beaver Pond this week. But city council passed a motion last week put forward by Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson preventing KNL from starting work on July 19 as originally planned, until the company completes a set of conditions. City of Ottawa staff is waiting for KNL to present a tree conservation
plan, a detailed inventory of species at risk, more information about buffers used for natural environment areas and grading and drainage plans. “There are certain elements of this plan that are insufficient,” said Astrid Nielsen, a city forester. KNL sent a letter to city council arguing it had fulfilled all requirements to move ahead with the development. But the motion will only delay the development, not stop it, warned Marc. MEETING More than 150 people packed into the hall at the Mlacak Centre on Thursday, July 15 to discuss the development plans of the South March Highlands. KNL representatives did not attend the meeting. We don’t want to hear any legal crap,” said David Clark, a resident. “We want to preserve our lands.”
