Title
Peter Ramsay provided an Open Delegation to City Council regarding the Allandale Station Lands and his concerns for the health of Kempenfelt Bay. He read aloud an excerpt from the City of Barrie's Official Plan regarding Brownfield Sites. Mr. Ramsay indicated that he was concerned that a record of site condition was required and not completed for the subject site. He noted that in 2010 engineers identified a number of toxins on the site. Mr. Ramsay expressed concern regarding the potential run-off into Kempenfelt Bay that may impact the health of the Bay. He provided a site plan and a number of photos taken from the subject lands. Mr. Ramsay discussed the by-law that controls the discharge into the sanitary and storm sewer system. He concluded by stating that he is concerned about the Allandale Station Lands and the potential for contaminants from the site being discharged into the City of Barrie's storm sewer systems.
Mayor Lehman asked staff several questions regarding the information provided concerning the Open Delegation and received responses. Mayor Lehman thanked Mr. Ramsay for his comments and provided information from the external agencies that have reviewed the project.
