The students from the Queen’s School of Urban & Regional Planning (SURP) have completed their research and report on design standards for the Village of Marysville. Click here to see the full report.

Township staff will post hard copies of the report in the Marysville library.

No formal presentation or public engagement events are planned for this report. The students are finished their work, and wrapping-up their school year. Staff have not fully analyzed the document.

Staff will, however, ask Township Council for two things at its April 8^th meeting:

1. That Council formally receive the report from SURP in fulfillment of the terms of the agreement with Queen’s University for the project, and;

1. That Council provide staff with direction about next steps for community engagement on the design standards;

The document is published now to allow plenty of time for all to review. Additional details about future community engagement will be provided as they become available.

The team of students from the Queen's School of Urban and Regional Planning presented their research on design standards and some recommendations for the Village of Marysville to Township of Frontenac Islands Council, December 18. A copy of the presentation slides is available in the documents section of the Engage Frontenac project page and a recording of the meeting and presentation is available from the Township's YouTube channel. The students' final report will be available in early 2024.

The Township of Frontenac Islands, in association with Queen's School of Urban and Regional Planning, will be hosting workshops to gather feedback on design standards for the Village of Marysville. The design standards will help guide the shape and form of development throughout Marysville, including the main street, the residential neighbourhoods, and the expansion area. Wolfe Island residents will have the chance to voice their priorities regarding the design of village spaces.

The design standards will include aspects such as building orientation and location, streetscape design, height limits, public space, waterfront access, and more. Community feedback will shape the future of Marysville for years to come.

Two identical workshop sessions are planned for November 7, 2023 at the Wolfe Island community hall. The first afternoon workshop will run from 2:00-4:00 pm, and the second evening workshop will run from 6:00-8:00 pm. Space at the community hall is limited, so workshops will be held to a maximum of 50 people per workshop.
