Request for Additional Sewage Capacity
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that Council endorse the additional
allocation of 80m³ of sewage capacity in the existing Grand
Bend Sewage Treatment Facility to Rice Development
Company Inc. for development of the first phase of their
Subdivision and direct staff to request that the Grand Bend
Sewage Facility Joint Board grant 80m³ of additional
capacity to the Rice Development Company Inc. subject to
reconsideration in 2 years.
REPORT
Correspondence has been received from Rice Development Company (see Letter,
Attachment 1) requesting that an additional 80m³ of sewage capacity in the Grand Bend
Sewage Treatment Facility be allocated to the development of their lands.
Currently Council has allocated 60 m² to this development. Approximately 30 m³ of the
allocated Rice capacity is assigned to the apartment building currently under
construction by McCann. Rice have serviced 15 single detached dwelling lots and a 26
unit townhouse block. They are currently proposing to revise the townhouse block to
reduce the number of townhouse units to 14 and would like to construct another
apartment building with 50 dwelling units. Further, with respect to their commercial
block, they are in discussions with a number of commercial tenants and are requesting
the sewage capacity be allocated to their commercial lands. Finally, there are 6 single
detached dwelling lots in the registered portion of the Rice Development which they
would also like capacity for.
The transfer order for the existing Grand Bend Sewage Treatment Facility assigns the
power to approve capacity requests to the Joint Sewage Board. The Joint Board can
allocate and reallocate capacity.
