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
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
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,
c.c. Commissioner of Transportation
& Works, Martin Powell
