Councillor Chad Collins Report
OCTOBER 2005
BEACH COMMUNITY EDITION
I recently received an inquiry regarding the status of the development on the site of the former service station and residential lots at 422-440 Beach Boulevard. I have been advised that the lands have been remediated at this site and are ready for development.
Prior to construction, the developer (Mr. John Paisley) was informed that the main hydro trunk line runs underneath the northern most property. The added cost of relocating the line (estimated at $150,000 and to be borne by the developer) has delayed the project by 9 months. Mr Paisley advises that with the delay he will need to remarket the units and plans to do this in 6 to 8 weeks. The anticipated start of construction is spring 2006. In the interim, I have requested the removal of the tall grass and weeds.

From another thread, I have attached some early pictures of the area.
