Cramahe tower update

Northumberland County consultant, Paula Preston of Actionable Intelligence Inc., is holding out some hope that a resolution may be found to the tower location in Cramahe Township. Neighbours whose homes are near the proposed tower are unhappy with the impact the tower will have on their views.

As a result an alternate location is being considered by Barrett Xplornet Inc.

In an email received today by Cramahe Now, Ms. Preston writes -

"At the alternate site - there may have been some initial concern raised about the trees affecting the coverage for the homes at the bottom of the hill where the Clareys present residence is. Once analysed my understanding is that the engineering team believe this is not a problem.

I can’t really address the soil issue, but a soil engineering team will do a proper analysis when BXI gets permission from the landowner. I agree with you, that it probably won’t be an issue.

In conversations with Bob Davie (Ontario General Manager for BXI) on Monday, the alternate site looks promising, but BXI have not yet received any agreement from the landowner. They are actively pursuing this option in lieu of the concerns raised by the community.

We await their consultations ...
