Rob McRae, for your mentorship, expertise, and constant encouragement throughout the duration of the project. Dr. Graham Whitelaw, for your guidance and support over the course of the project. Dr. David Gordon, our Director, for your valuable expertise and leadership throughout our entire time at the School of Urban and Regional Planning. Stakeholders, who attended our consultation event and provided meaningful feedback and advice for the project. Thank you. ii The Queen's University School of Urban and Regional Planning Project Course Our team is composed of eight second-year Master's of Urban Planning Students from Queen's University. As part of the final year in the graduate program, students are required to complete a project course, which involves working alongside real clients with real budgets to prepare a final report and presentation on a particular planning-related issue. As the Environmental Services Project course (SURP 825), our team was tasked by the Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority to develop a coherent vision for the future of the Lemoine Point area in Kingston, Ontario. With a range of professional and academic backgrounds that include environmental science, economics, political science, history, construction management, and forestry, our group came together and used our unique skills and perspectives to formulate key recommendations for the Lemoine Point area going forward.

Eliz abeth Meiklejohn, Stefani Normand, Malcolm Norwood, Matt Mu rray, Ena m- ul Hoque Absent in photo: Project Supervisor: Dr. Graham Whitelaw Project Coach: Rob McRae, Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority iii Executive Summary Overview The Lemoine Point area, located in the Southwest end of the City of Kingston, currently lacks an overarching framework for its growth and development. Despite its desirable location abutting Lake Ontario, the presence of notable private and public stakeholders, and its significant natural heritage features, the identity of the Lemoine Point area remains ambiguous within Kingston. While the Lemoine Point Conservation Area functions as the primary contributor to the area’s identity, the Lemoine Point area encompasses a number of other land uses with considerable potential to contribute to its future progress. In September, 2016 of the Fall academic term at Queen’s University, the Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority requested a project team from the School of Urban and Regional Planning to conduct research and develop a cohesive vision for the Lemoine Point area. The team was tasked with answer the following research question: What is a coherent vision for the future of Lemoine Point? As a result of a perceived incompatibility between the area’s land uses, and the continued presence of disconnected operations between the various stakeholders, the Lemoine Point area has not yet reached its full potential of a complete community within the City of Kingston. After conducting significant background research, undertaking several analyses, and hosting a stakeholder workshop, the project team has identified the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and challenges of the Lemoine Point area to create a cohesive plan for its future. Lemoine Point For the purpose of the report, the Lemoine Point site area has been identified as the Southwest end of the City of Kingston, bordered by Lake Ontario to the West and South, Bayridge Drive to the East, and Bath Road to the North. The Lemoine Point area consists of the Lemoine Point Conservation Area, the Lemoine Point Farm, Norman Rogers Airport, the Landings Golf Course, Collins Bay Marina, four City parks and parkettes, and low- density residential neighbourhoods. A broader study area was identified to supplement site- specific research. A map of the site area (red) and study area (white) is located below. iv Methodology The project was completed in five major stages: − Background Research/Primary Document Review − Case Study Analysis − Stakeholder Workshop − Needs Assessment − Development of comprehensive vision through thematic recommendations Initial background research, and primary document review was conducted to ascertain the existing conditions of the Lemoine Point area and analyze the past research that had focused on the area. Analyses of local, national and international case studies were then completed to compile innovative land use initiatives relevant to the context of the Lemoine Point. Some examples include: Vegetated waterfront path, South Huron Trail Mobile Bee apiary on airport Alleghany Riverfront, Program, South Huron, ON grounds, Chicago, IL Pittsburgh, PA Natural heritage signage, Multi-modal trail, Cape Inspiration Lakeview Master Perth, ON Breton Island, NS Plan, Mississauga, ON Building on the primary research and case study analyses, a stakeholder workshop was held to generate discussion on the existing conditions of the Lemoine Point area and determine how they envision the area evolving in the future. From this research, six guiding principles were identified to illustrate the major needs that the vision for Lemoine Point area must focus on resolving (shown below). These guiding principles were used to set up the framework for the recommendations and their objectives. From left to right: Identity, Conservation, Climate Change, Partnerships, Access and Accessibility, and Connectivity v Recommendations Feasible recommendations for the Lemoine Point area were developed to effectively meet the needs identified during the initial stages of the visioning process. These recommendations were grouped into three pillars to better reflect the objectives for the Lemoine Point area. The three pillars are: Conservation, Waterfront Access and Sustainable Development. The recommendations are intended to show the stakeholders how modifications in existing land use planning policies, along with stakeholder operations and mandates, can effectively translate into a comprehensive vision for the site area. Notable (12 out of 21) recommendations include: Conservation 6.1 Protect the Natural Assets at the Lemoine Point Farm 6.5 Develop an Educational Community Gardening Program 6.6 Incorporate Non-Conflicting Habitats on Usable Airport Lands 6.10 Establish Conservation Partnerships to Create Sustainable Land Use Areas Waterfront Access 7.2 Implement Shoreline Protection 7.3 Transition the Weatherall Property 7.4 Encourage a Passive Water Recreation Network 7.5 Create Natural Rest Stops Along North Shore Sustainable Development 8.1 Increase Active Transportation Linkages 8.4 Improve Norman Rogers Airport Sustainability 8.5 Increase Transit Coverage within the Lemoine Point Area 8.6 Limit Future Residential Development Through successful implementation of the 21 recommendations, the Lemoine Point Area will become a distinct region with the City of Kingston. It will operate on the values of conservation, waterfront access, and sustainability through co-operative stakeholder partnerships and land use compatibility. vi Table of Contents Part I: Research Methods and Site Analysis 1.0 Introduction 1.1 Introduction to the Lemoine Point Area..............................................................2 1.2 Study Purpose and Vision Statement................................................................ 2 1.3 Research Approach and Methodology............................................................... 3 1.4 Process.............................................................................................................. 4 2.0 Site Background and Context 2.1 Guiding Provincial Policies and Legislation....................................................... 6 2.2 City of Kingston Plans........................................................................................3 2.3 Lemoine Point Conservation Area Plans........................................................... 4 3.0 Site Analysis 3.1 Zoning Analysis................................................................................................19

  • Chapter 2 – Cataraqui Source Protection Area
    Cataraqui Source Protection Area Assessment Report (June 2011) Chapter 2 – Cataraqui Source Protection Area 2.0 Introduction This chapter provides the reader with an overall perspective on the watersheds, physical geography, human geography, and Great Lakes aspects of the Cataraqui Source Protection Area (CSPA). For additional detail on these topics, the reader is invited to review the Watershed Characterization Report: Cataraqui Source Protection Area (CRCA, 2008) in Appendix ‘L-2’. The Cataraqui Source Protection Area (CSPA) is located at the eastern end of Lake Ontario and the beginning of the St. Lawrence River (Map 1-1). It includes a portion of the Bay of Quinte, Hay Bay, the southern portion of the Rideau Canal and the Thousand Islands of the St. Lawrence River. The region includes approximately 1,000 kilometres of Great Lakes shoreline (Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River, including the islands) and about 200 inland lakes. It covers the jurisdiction of the Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority (CRCA), plus the municipality of Frontenac Islands (Howe and Wolfe Islands) and the waters up to the International Boundary between Canada and the United States of America (Map 1-2). The landscape of the CSPA is extremely varied. The central region is characterized by the exposed bedrock, lakes and woodlands of the Canadian Shield (Frontenac Axis), while the south and west consist mainly of the agricultural landscape of the limestone and clay plains (Map 2-1). In the east, the surficial geology is dominated by sand and gravel. The landscape is described in detail by Chapter 1 of the Watershed Characterization Report: Cataraqui Source Protection Area (CRCA, 2008) and it is illustrated by Figures 1-4 through 1-15 of that document.

  • 3-1 3.0 Physical, Natural and Socio-Economic Environment
    Kingston Reinforcement Pipeline 3.0 PHYSICAL, NATURAL AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT 3.1 BEDROCK GEOLOGY The Frontenac Axis, which underlies the Kingston area is a south east-trending arch of Proterozoic crystalline basement, part of the Grenville Province of the Canadian Shield, that connects the Algonquin Dome with the Adirondack Dome in New York. To the northeast and southwest, respectively, it is flanked by Flat-lying to gently dipping Cambro-Ordovicain sediments of the St. Lawrence Platform and the Lake Ontario Homocline. It forms a resistant bedrock sill over which the St. Lawrence River flows northeastward from Lake Ontario, creating the “Thousand Islands” (Helmstaedt, 2004). Rocks typical of the area can be seen in outcrops and rock cuts along Highway 401. They predominantly consist of limestone and granite. 3.2 PHYSIOGRAPHY AND SURFICIAL GEOLOGY The study area lies within the physiographic regions of the Napanee Plain and Prince Edward Plain. The Precambrian Bedrock underlying the study area consists of clastic metasediments and intrusive igneous rocks. These basement rocks are overlain by a nearly horizontal sequence of Paleozioc sedimentary rocks which consist of the Potsdam Formation (sandstones and siltstones), Shadow Lake Formation (shales, sandstones, and arkoses), and the Gull River Formation (limestone and other carbonates) (Chapman and Putnam, 1984). Quaternary deposits (unconsolidated soil overburden) within the study area are Wisconsonian and recent in age and consist of glacial, glaciofluvial, glaciolacustrine, and postglacial sediments. The majority of the study area is underlain by exposed bedrock or a shallow soil cover generally less than 1 m thick overlying Paleozoic strata. The area consists of limestone and clay plains with shallow overburden made up of fine grained silt and clay sediments deposited during the glacial period over till soils and sedimentary bedrock (MTO 1990).

  • Rideau Canal Travel Information
    Rideau Canal Travel Information An elemental feat of engineering, Rideau Canal is treasured for recreational purpose and for traveling on a budget. Curling its way through the pictorial neighborhoods of Kingston to the historic suburbs of Ottawa, Rideau Canal exudes natural splendor and rich heritage. A paradise for paddlers, and voyageurs, the canal meanders gently through meadows, valleys, rivers, waterfalls, and lakes. Get your mojo back as you explore million dollar homes, quaint cottages, and swimming waterbirds in a peaceful bay. An elemental feat of engineering, this canal is treasured for recreational purpose and for traveling on a budget. History The Rideau Canal was built to strengthen the naval defense of Canada between 1826 and 1832 under the supervision of Lieutenant Colonel John By. It's name 'Rideau', which is a French word for "curtain", is derived from the curtain-like appearance of the Rideau Falls. The canal was designated as a National Historic Site of Canada in 1925, and received a status of a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2007. Things to Do in and around Rideau Canal Boating and Canoeing – As the morning sun of the shoulder season brings nature to life, you can silently glide across in a canoe or take a boat tour to the impressive Rideau Falls. Visitors can try mobile accommodations. In fact, renting a houseboat might just be the best way to enjoy your vacation. The entire corridor boasts of clean waters and excellent opportunities for swimming, fishing, kayaking, boating, and other adventures. Ice Skating and Snowshoeing – As the cold winds of winter blow and maple leaves descend upon the land, the Rideau region turns into a snowy wonderland.
