Welcome to the Town of Huntsville's community engagement website.

The Town of Huntsville recognizes the important role public art plays in placemaking, creating vibrant, engaging spaces that spark dialogue and delight, attract visitors and residents, create a sense of civic pride, and increase opportunities for legitimate loitering to enhance crime prevention.Together with members of the Muskoka Arts and Crafts, the Downtown Huntsville BIA, Huntsville/Lake of Bays Chamber of Commerce, Huntsville Festival of the Arts, and Huntsville Art Society, the Town of Huntsville invited qualified visual artists with a connection and/or understanding of the area&#39;s local history and culture to submit to the Kent Park Public Art Project Call to Artists for a permanent outdoor work or works of art at Kent Park.At its meeting held October 30, 2024, General Committee recommended that the Town enter into agreement with sculptor, Bryan Faubert, to carry out the design, fabrication and installation of a permanent work of art in Kent Park. The recommendation is subject to ratification at Council&#39;s Regular meeting November 28, 2024.The Working Group applauds the efforts of each artist that submitted to the Call and recognizes that it can be difficult for artists to subject their ideas and talent to scrutiny. Members would like to thank the artists for their creativity and effort and encourage them to participate in future Calls for public art through the Town of Huntsville.About the Artist<img src="blob:https://myhuntsville.ca/7c0a7e37-27b7-4c6f-8647-eecf56e1450e" style="width: 300px;" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-fir">Faubert is a metal sculptor with a Masters of Fine Arts from the University of Calgary. He has been exhibiting in solo and group exhibitions since 2004 and has worked on a number of public art projects since 2016. He has experience as a teaching assistant, workshop instructor, lecturer and artist-in-residence. His medium of choice when working in the public sphere is painted, powder coated, nickel-plated steel and/or Corten steel for its durability and resistance to the elements. His processes are varied, ranging from welded fabrication techniques to &quot;flame drawing&quot;, to create works that cast a playful network of shadows that can be appreciated both with the passing of the sun overhead during the day, and by way of lighted elements during the nighttime.Preliminary Design<img src="https://s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/ehq-production-canada/758ba8414ebe891bc5376c93ad53c13510d008c1/original/1730388297/17fd48209d1dae8131bdc9a44fa6c8d4_Untitled_design_%281%29.png?1730388297" style="width: 744px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib">Faubert&#39;s preliminary design conceptFaubert&#39;s intention is to strategically place a number of 2 or 3D sculptures within the park, some flora and fauna, some animals, all native to Muskoka, adding to the site&#39;s natural beauty, and merging the works into the surroundings, thus transforming the space into a sculpture garden. The formal elements and their layout in Kent Park will be decided in consultation with the Kent Park Public Art Working Group.Noted in the Artist&#39;s submission:&quot;As these proposed artworks will be composed primarily of contour and gestural line, the ability to see through the sculptures, framing their surroundings and viewers inside of their ornate compositions. This will coalesce the park, the community, the Muskoka surroundings, and artwork, into one. Furthermore, the shadows that each sculptural element will create, with the passing of the sun overhead, will create dynamism as the composition of this shadowy network slowly changes the space as the sun moves across the sky each day.For more information on artist Bryan Faubert, pre-visualizations of his proposed artwork for Kent Park, and photos of examples of his previous works, please <a aria-label="Link see the report presented to Committee" class="fui-Link ___1q1shib f2hkw1w f3rmtva f1ewtqcl fyind8e f1k6fduh f1w7gpdv fk6fouc fjoy568 figsok6 f1s184ao f1mk8lai fnbmjn9 f1o700av f13mvf36 f1cmlufx f9n3di6 f1ids18y f1tx3yz7 f1deo86v f1eh06m1 f1iescvh fhgqx19 f1olyrje f1p93eir f1nev41a f1h8hb77 f1lqvz6u f10aw75t fsle3fq f17ae5zn" href="https://huntsvilleon.civicweb.net/document/87918/Kent%20Park%20Public%20Art%20Project%20Update.pdf?handle=C2476F5691A6431B9666443EE336DCB3" id="menur2sq" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" title="https://huntsvilleon.civicweb.net/document/87918/kent%20park%20public%20art%20project%20update.pdf?handle=c2476f5691a6431b9666443ee336dcb3">see the report presented to Committee</a> October 30, 2024.

As a next step, the Town is seeking public input on &ldquo;Significant Views&rdquo; to inform the Height and Density Evaluation Criteria.<hr>What is &ldquo;Height and Density&rdquo;? Why is it important as the Town grows and develops?Height and density standards are contained within the <a class="Hyperlink SCXW48842583 BCX0" href="https://www.huntsville.ca/en/home-property-and-planning/community-planning-permit-by-law.aspx" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Community Planning Permit Bylaw (CPPBL).</a> These standards come from the height and density policies associated with residential and mixed use designations as outlined in the Town&rsquo;s Official Plan. <div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW48842583 BCX0">Currently, the maximum permitted height for multiple dwellings (apartment buildings) is 11m and the maximum permitted density is 60 units per hectare. The CPPBL also defines how height is to be measured. Currently, if an application is proposed with height or density that is over and above the CPPBL provisions, Staff and Council are required to evaluate the request using general criteria, including requirements for Community Benefits. A revised, more detailed set of criteria and guidelines will assist by helping all to understand where additional height and density is appropriate, but also where it&rsquo;s not. This will also be a tool to help developers prepare proposals that will minimize impacts, achieve community benefits, and limit review times to address current housing needs.</div>
