Ms. Barnett reviewed the environmental issues of the property and advised on
regulations as set out by the Ministry of the Environment. She noted that the
watercourse is salvageable and the site can be remediated environmentally,
however, without the demolition permit the developer has advised that he would not
proceed. Ms. Barnett noted that the developer is not in a position to retrofit the
building as significant portions need to be removed as part of the environmental
cleanup.
