VICTORIA PARK COMPREHENSIVE MASTER PLAN Final Report • June 2013 Event Requirements Use of the park will be restricted those activities that conform to Federal, Provincial and Municipal legislation and regulations. An application will be required that will include an event Site Plan (and Tent Plan, where necessary) and a list of all infrastructure requirements, costs, conformity to regulations and required permits, security requirements, insurance coverage, hours of operation, toilet facilities and cleanup provisions. Each of these items will have their own requirements to fulfill in the application. Should tent structures be necessary to run the event, any tent over a 10’ x 10’ foot size will require a special permit and inspection by the local fire and emergency services. As part of the application process, a Tent Plan will require a number of regulations to be adhered that include such items as set-back distances from each other, emergency access routes, and exits and entrances. Ongoing Park Maintenance Victoria Park has many facilities and structures that require ongoing maintenance and investment. This is often a tough choice during budget periods, as these investments can be seen to lack the public support or visibility that large capital projects may have. The long term health and vitality of the park very much depends on regular upkeep of key infrastructure such as lighting, existing buildings, and services. It is important that sufficient budget be allocated each year to address the natural upkeep of park facilities. When the time comes for replacement or renewal, it will also be important to consider the life-cycle costs of the various replacement options, to reduce and streamline ongoing maintenance costs on a go-forward basis. Event managers must provide the City with a bond or other form of guarantee against damage to the Park. They must also be responsible to cover the costs of returning it to its original condition (i.e. trash collection & removal) as City staff do not have the resources to set-up and take down events. The City should consider requiring a percentage of revenue from the event to be directed towards a park endowment that would fund special restoration projects. 62
