LIMERICK TOWNSHIP ZONING BY-LAWS FINAL DRAFT

TRIDENT DRAFT SUBDIVISION (2009) AGREEMENT

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Trident Subdivision -- An Update -- May 31, 2010

As noted in the last newsletter, Trident was gradually clearing off all the remaining conditions needed for approval of their subdivision plan.

Prior to the April 6th meeting of Township Council, Trident sent forward the Subdivision Agreement and accompanying documents for their approval by Council. However, in the course of the proceedings, it was discovered that due to what we believe was a misunderstanding by the township's lawyer and as a result, our legal representative, in fact, one of the required documents necessary to fulfill all the conditions had not been signed off by the township's engineering consultants, Jewell Engineering. The document is of some importance since it is the lot development plan showing to quote from the condition "all dwelling, sewage and well envelopes and their respective separation distances and shall be of sufficient detail to establish that each lot can accommodate an individual on-site sewage disposal system (septic system) that conforms to the requirements of the Ontario Building Code."

Since that time, through the township lawyer, Jewell Engineering has been asking that Trident produce this lot development plan for the first phase of the development (30 lots). In addition, Jewell Engineering has raised some issues with post-development runoff and watercourses and has asked Trident for more detail to ensure that there are adequate safeguards in place. As a result of the need to produce the information required by Jewell Engineering and the Township, Trident requested and the Township agreed to an extension to Friday, June 11th.


As of today, May 29th, it is too soon to tell how this will play out by June 11th. The OMB Committee of LWRA is continuing to monitor developments and will post updates as they occur.


If you have questions or comments, please sent them to Linda Sheppard.
