ITEM L

CONFIRMATION OF MKNITIBS

The Minutes of the Environmental Protection Committee Meeting held on December 02, 1992
were unavailable for confirmation.

DBLEGrATION FROM INTRAWEST

Corruuittee received delegations from Intrawest and CP Rail to discuss the subdivision of the
Intrawest Property to CP P.ail.

CP Rail presented three issues of concern regarding the draft restrictive covenant on the
subdivided lot. The first concern was with section 1 of the covenant regarding building
prohibition. CP indicated that they would require the contruction of enclosed structures such as
tool sheds on the parcel. CP was willing to put wording in the covenant which would limit the
size and use of the enclosed structures.
Committee asked CP about the possibility of explosions within the enclosed structures. CP said
that all health and safety hazards would be considered by CP Engineers in the design of the
strucmres.

CP second concern was in section 5 of the restrictive covenant. CP requested that the
subdivided lot be allowed to stand alone as they have an agreement to sell the lot back to
Intrawest up to the year 2002.

DEC 0 9 1992

The third concern of CP's was the clean-up date of 1997. CP felt that a date could not be
established because the time reouired for fuB remediation of the site cannot be determined. CP
indicated that they are committed to undertaking the remediation pian, approved-in-principle by
the Ministry of Environment and since the covenant is tied in with the remediation plan there
should be no need to establish a completion date.

CP said that they do not want to remediate the soil to a level for development as they intend the
property to be part of their rail yard. CP said that should they plan to develop the property in the
future they mould resubmit a remediation plan.

The delegations from Intrawest and CP were dismissed from the meeting.
Committee decided that section I of the agreement should have a clause which permits building
on the property subject to approval by the City building inspector. Committee also asked that
the covenant r'estrict the sale of the property uutE the year 2002 when Intrawest's option to
purchase the land from CP expires. Furthermore, if Intrawest does not undertake their option
with CP by 2002, then CP must consolidate their parcel with the adjacent raiilyard parcels.
