City seeks options on landfilling at Burlington Air Park
Recently, based on advice received from the Legal department, city staff advised the airport owner that the city’s site alteration is applicable and by-law must be complied with. On May 3, the Engineering Department issued an “Order to Comply” with the site alteration bylaw, to the Airport owner Mr. Vince Rossi. The 10-day deadline to comply with the order expired without compliance, so the city issued a notice of violation May 13th, which carries a potential penalty of up to $50,000 for a first offence. We need to consider additional options.
