Letters of support from two devel-
opments hit the council table last
week. Rice Development and (rand
Bend Community Corp. (Southbend
Estates) explained their plight of not
having sewage capacity for their pro-
posed developments,
Rice Development Company, Roger
I toward said, "As you are aware we are
proceeding towards the registration of
our 50 acre subdivision on Main Street
East in Grand Rend. The pian con-
tains a mix of residential and com-
mercial uses that will provide signifi-
cant additional housing and retail
stock to the (rand Bend area.
We are currently preparing to mar-
ket the townhouse block within the
plan with a range of single story town -
homes and a potential low-rise sen-
iors apartment/condo building. We
are currently negotiating with a major
retail tenant for one of the commer-
cial blocks,"
"Central to the marketing of these
lands is the ability to service them
with the knowledge that sufficient
plant capacity exists within the
municipal system. We are supportive
of the municipality's proposal to
expand the current plant, as without
the capacity, development will grind
to 1t halt. We understand the current
EA process has proceeded to a point
where construction could begin
shortly where changes to the pro-
posed design may significantly delay
that construction and could affect
approved funding,"
"In order for us to continue to
marker our lands and attract new resi-
dent sand commercial tenants to the
Grand Bend area, it is critical in our
view that the current plant expansion
is not delayed and that the infrastruc-
ture funding is not negatively affected,
or in the worst scenario, lost. The
opportunity for a municipality to offer
tht' necessary sewage capacity is a
paramount consideration for devel-
opers and we would respect ft'
1't'gtlt'St 111111 council support the ct
rent plant expansion design 0) ensure
the necessary capacity is available as
soon as possible and into the future."
Peter Vrankovic, president of (rand
Bend Community Corporation- South
Fend Estates, sent a letter to express
their support for the expansion of the
Grand Bend sewage treatment plant.
"As a land developer we are quite con-
cerned that the sewage allocation to
their property is limited at this time to
229 single residential units and golf
course. '!'his current allocation with-
out further expanded sewage treat-
ment capacity would certainly put a
constraint On the future development
of additional 330 households units
and 200,000 square feet of commer-
cial space, It is our strong opinion that
construction of the proposed net,,
sewage treatment plant with increased
capacity is clearly required to service
the future need of our development,"
Deputy mayor Elizabeth Davis 1)agg
asked about South Bend Estates and
what it' it takes another 25 year's to go
forward, South Bend was originallyyy
Altvater Drescher that first reached
the municipal books in 19116 and
became Southbend Estates in 199.1
due to a sale. There is lagoon capacity
for the first 200 homes, but Davis 1)agg
asked in the event this does not hap-
pen or takes another couple of dec-
ades how is this owner going to invest
in the treatment plant. Councilor Ruth
itlman suggested, as in all commercial
properties, the development charges
and later taxes that will come from
this new build. (Development charges
wilt be approximately $9,600 per lot).
Mayor Bili Weber said the allocation is
for future and progress.
