Additional allocation for the Rice Develop-

week with lA ntbton Shores and South 1 luron
being the municipalities at the helm of this
question.
MOP t Rice Group is anticipating the development
of 75 dwelling units, upon registration oldie
west half of the SutxiivisIon. Rice Group advises
that they will require 82 n13 of capacity in the
Grand Bend Sewage Treatment Facility. Cur-
rently Council has allocated 60 m2 to this devel-
opment. Calculations done earlier this year
indicate that there appears to be approximately
36tn3 of unallocated capacity in the (;rand
Bend Sewage Treatment Facility. Staff recom-
mends that Council endorse the additional allo-
cation and direct staff to request that the (*rand
Bend Sewage Facility Board grant 22n13 of addi-
tional capacity to the Rice Group, subject to the
development proceeding by June 2012.
