Ltd., Hallman Construction, and Freure Developments Ltd. (as the developers of lands within
this sewershed area, see attached) to retain Stantec Consulting Limited as our engineering
consultant to undertake the aforementioned Class EA.
Stantec Consulting Limited has already undertaken extensive preliminary work in this area for
the respective developers.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The extension of the South Strasburg Trunk Sanitary Sewer is an identified item in the
Development Charges By-Law. The respective developers have agreed (collectively) to finance
the cost of the Class EA to advance the timing for completion of same; accordingly, the
contributing developers will receive credits towards their applicable Development Charges at the
time of Building Permit application, in accordance with the polices and procedures in place at
that time. We can confirm that the necessary funds have been received from all respective
developers.
CONCLUSION:
In order to guide growth within the limits of this development area, it is necessary to initiate this
Class EA at this time. In addition, the completion of this Class EA will assist with Regional
Growth Management Strategies, and the City's Staging of Development process by establishing
the limit of gravity drainage within this development area.
