Dear Ma. Taylor:

Re: Citadel Heleheta ~ Central Park Site

As you may recall, a large portion of tha central area of our Mary
Hill land wes designated as a park site due. in part, te aoid
congiderations. ‘The area wae one of the disposal gitez ased during
che gravel mining operations and as 4 result, would have required
remedial tremementr prios ta preceeding with house congtruction. You
may alao recall, that cone of our major concerns with respect to the
park facilities suggested for this aite by the City was the queation
of soil atabiliiry.

We recently engaged cur soils consultants to conduct en investigation
im the area dasignatad as Citadel Heights Phase 8 In addition, we
auked that they examine the central park site, and advise us with
respect to the structural competence of the soile for construction of
facilities such as the parking lor, tennia courts and washroomz. The
attached sections of the report deal specifically with the park site.
You will noce that, provided the City is willing to accepe acne
ongoing maintenance, it is suggested that a design could be developed
for the parking lot and washroom facilitias which would seduce the
effects of the anticipated settlements. Hewever, since even minor
settlements on a tenmmis court could result in ponding or potential
disruptions to the game, it may be worth considering a relocation of
this facility, or modifying the faciiizies proposed for shis site.
