Carr Farm, Fall River

what the developer proposed to HRM during the final hearing to approve the development. 500 apartments plus 144 bed LT Care Home (the X building). Since the rules allow for 4 buildings, 8 buildings were created and joined by a small connector builder.
The site likely can not handle this level of density and was never supposed to allow this level of density. But if the developer is allowed to continue with the construction of 500 apartments and a 144 Long-Term care home, perhaps the sewage should be dealt with completely on-site so the final in-earth runoff will take some time and be cleaner by the time it reaches Lake Thomas.
A copy of the Receiving Waters study, carried out as part of the approval process for the proposed outfall, does not include the presence of the Thomas Drive water intake.

Comparison of the original proposal and approval received in 2018 (390 units) and the most recent 2023 development plan (644 units).
