Subject:         Propsosed Sewer Easement Through Tree Preservation Area
X-Priority:     1 (Highest)

Dear Madam Mayor,

    A servicing easement is being planned at the Britannia/Bidwell Trail site that will go directly through the Tree Preservation Area established by a settlement agreement with the landowner Fitzwood and ratified by the
Ontario Municipal Board (OMB).

    Cutting a 4.5  by 30 metre pathway through the Tree Preservation Area will destroy a dozen or more Shagbark  Hickory Trees and will seriously jeopardize the long term viability of at least a dozen more of these rare trees, plus many others.  Clearly this is unacceptable.

    I have already contacted  Councillor Carlson on the matter, but have not heard back from him.  I have also contacted the City Solicitor,  Michael Minkowki who has informed me that it is not the City's responsibility to
 ensure that the terms of the settlement agreement are upheld.

    Please instruct the Commissioners of Transportation & Works and the Planning & Building departments to find an alternate route for the sewer as part of the site plan approval.  Clearly, it is possible for the City to intervene on the community's behalf and to determine an alternate route.  City Planner Karen Crouse has informed me that alternate routes were discussed.

    Please confirm that you will support the efforts of this community to uphold the spirit of the settlement agreement with the landowner and support the  long term viability of the remaining trees from the Britannia woodland with the Tree Preservation Area as indicated by the site plan submitted with By-law 0074-2003, ratified by the OMB.

Sincerely,
Therese Taylor
