Mr. Mike Hartner, Director of Parks & Forestry referred to the Natural Features |
|
Inventory Criteria, question E1. Adverse Factors - Environmental Hazards. |
|
This parcel was used as a motor vehicle servicing area and should have |
|
received a negative number for that criterion. He expressed concern for what |
|
may be under the ground surface. The parcel would likely require a phase two |
|
level environmental study. The costs for environmental studies would be |
|
funded from the Green Space Millage fund, as in the past for any parcel |
|
recommended to City Council. For this particular parcel, it would be difficult to |
|
determine which owner placed hazardous materials in the ground, if found. The |
|
cleanup costs are unknown and could be the ultimate responsibility of the City if |
|
GSAB is interested in bringing people onto the site. |
