Conditional building permit issued for new Sharbot Lake School

Jeff Green | Oct 11, 2012

Central Frontenac Chief Building Official Jeremy Neven confirmed last week that the township has issued a building permit for the new school at the Sharbot Lake High School site.

The township has not received a septic permit for the project from the Ontario Ministry of the Environment, (MoE) however, and Neven said that while the permit will allow construction to proceed on the project, no occupancy permit will be issued until the MoE issues a septic permit. Although the permit was issued before Neven returned to his position with the township, he said that in looking at the file he noted there are requirements that test wells be drilled, and that the MoE may be requiring that a tertiary system be installed as well.

“The school board is now working with the MoE to make sure the system complies with their requirements.”

The news made an inquiry to the MoE about the process being applied in this case, but we have not received a response as yet.
