LOCAL HERITAGE COUNCIL – MINUTES – 60th meeting held on October 20, 2025 at 5:34 p.m.

Heritage – Demolition of a two-story two-family dwelling – 176 Dollard-des-Ormeaux Street – Hull-Wright Electoral District – Steve Moran

Questions, answers, and comments were formulated, concerning among other things:

• The replacement project does not integrate well into the neighborhood;
• It is believed that it would be preferable for the project to incorporate a podium (basilaire);
• The project is compared to Viu 2, which included townhouses at the rear of the project on rue Notre-Dame-de-l’Île for better integration;
• It is suggested to set back the building footprint toward boulevard Maisonneuve to allow for the addition of a podium on the facade facing rue Dollard-des-Ormeaux;
• It is estimated that the building at 176 rue Dollard-des-Ormeaux is in good condition. Furthermore, this building is listed in the traditional built heritage inventory and possesses average heritage value;
• It is specified that the Zoning Bylaw has been updated to require a podium for this type of project;
• The replacement project will be subject to the approval of a Site Planning and Architectural Integration Program (PIIA);
• The rear of the building, facing boulevard Maisonneuve, is treated as a main facade;
• The cost estimate for the restoration of the existing buildings seems realistic;
• There is a desire for the creation of a pedestrian connection toward boulevard Maisonneuve;
• There is agreement with the concerns raised by the Association des résidents de l’Île-de-Hull;
• It is estimated that the location is not designated for commercial activities, but could be suitable for community activities.

The meeting of the Local Heritage Council is adjourned at 5:34 PM to allow for validation of the type of conditions that the Demolition Review Committee can add to its resolution. The meeting of the Local Heritage Council is reopened at 9:34 PM.

Questions, answers, and comments were formulated, concerning among other things:

• The type of conditions that can be added to the resolution of the Demolition Review Committee is specified in the Loi sur l’aménagement et l’urbanisme in article 148.0.12;
• The location of the vehicular access has been validated by the Mobility Department;
• The preservation of the dwelling at 176 rue Dollard-des-Ormeaux would prevent the development of an access driveway to the underground garage from rue Edgar-Chénier;
• A request is made for the addition of these conditions to the favorable recommendation for demolition: that a podium be added to the replacement project on rue Dollard-des-Ormeaux, that this podium create a townhouse effect, that the main entrance of the building be moved to rue Dollard-des-Ormeaux, and that the ground-floor units be accessible directly from the street.
