Kemptville District Hospital Moves a Step Closer to Ground Breaking
Kemptville, ON, June 26, 2007 – Representatives from
the Kemptville District Hospital Redevelopment Project Team were
on hand last Friday to present the official Site Plan Review to
the Mayor of North Grenville, Bill Gooch.
The site plan includes a number of drawings to illustrate all
aspects of the proposed development within the site. They
identify items such as the size and use of the proposed
building, incoming and outgoing services, lighting, traffic
routes and landscaping. In addition, the drawings identify the
overall site area, area of any existing development and area of
the proposed development. The submission is generally circulated
to all governmental departments who are stakeholders in the
property. This may include the Planning Department, Fire
Department, Building Department, the Ministry of the
Environment, Public Works and HydroOne.
Making the site plan application is the first step in obtaining
Municipal approval for the development. The next Municipal
approval will be a Building Permit. Before a Building Permit
Application can be reviewed, the Municipality must be assured
that the development meets all laws, bylaws, codes and standards
identified for the particular site.
KDH staff has been working closely with Parkin Architects for
the past several months to get the project to this stage. As the
prime consultant Parkin’s role has been to design the site
layout, coordinate with various specialist subconsultants such
as civil, electrical, mechanical and landscape architects and to
act as the Hospital’s agent for the Municipal approvals process.
The Municipality has suggested that the Hospital allow a minimum
of three months for the Site Plan Review. Since many of the
comments they obtain are from outside agencies, the process can
take longer.
To learn more about the redevelopment project visit the Hospital
website at www.kdh.on.ca. The site includes elevation sketches,
a timeline and description of the new departments. Construction
is set to begin in spring 2008.
