Resolution No. �099 ' <br /> • Page 70 <br /> _ 3. Subject to completion of the ongoing sewer studies , • <br /> several options are available including extension of <br /> municipal sewer, creation of a community drainfield <br /> system, reconstruction of existing systems or holding <br /> tank installation. Some existing residences or • <br /> • seasonal cottages may have to be condemned and removed <br /> if no solution is possible. All options are expensive <br /> to the City and to the property owners . The policy <br /> of the City is to achieve the necessary sewage treatment <br /> at the least possible cost. Further development in the . <br /> area should be avoided unless adequate sewage treatment <br /> ' is assurable. � <br /> F. HOUSING. <br /> . 1. The majority of the existing housing stock in the <br /> ' Study Area is built on lots developed to urban density � <br /> in the rural area. Much of the housing is in the low <br /> • to moderate cost or investment range. . <br /> � 2. Solution of the utility (sewerage) problem will , <br /> likely be incentive to encourage longer term investment <br /> and increased housing rehabilitation activity. • The <br /> cost of such a solution may however tend to force-out <br /> - existing low income property owners who could not <br /> - afford the cost of such an improvement. • <br /> . 3. "Stabilization of the existing housing situation <br /> � as above will also likely be incentive to encourage <br /> new residential development on the remaining vacant <br /> properties in the Area . � <br /> G. GOVERNMENT SERVICES <br /> '.t• <br /> S ' <br /> 1. There is little� likelihood of increasing the .level <br /> of fire protection to the Study Area. Water supply <br /> will continue to require tanker transportation. �tesponse <br /> . time will continue to b e primarily affected by distance <br /> to the station and the low speed, curving nature of the � <br /> roads leading to the Area . <br /> • <br />
