St George’s residents are worried that work on the proposed Park Hyatt resort will lead to noise and odour from a sewage treatment plant planned near their backyards.In a letter written to developers on behalf of residents of Old Military Road, Slippery Hill, Top Square and the Police Dormitories, David Hillier said the placement of the sewage and osmosis plant is “unacceptable”.“We understand the magnitude of the development and fully support the need of a hotel for St George’s,” Mr Hillier wrote. “We feel that the fact that you are only building on 20 percent of the allocated land area, that you should be able to find an alternate location that is not close to our inhabited area.“The majority of people have lived in this area for more than 60 years and now are being told that a sewage plant is being put on our back door.However, developer Carl Bazarian said last week the facilities will be self contained, and not cause noise or odour.“Everything is fine,” Mr Bazarian said. “Those are self contained units. There is no impact in terms of noise or smell.”The hotel is one of several east end projects that are hoped will breathe life into the St George’s economy, which has suffered from the reduction of visiting cruise ships.Originally announced in 2007, the $300 million resort, first announced in 2008, will feature 122 hotel beds, as well as 12 four-bedroom homes and a condominium complex with 70 units.Also included on the site will be a spa and fitness centre, two restaurants, a redesigned golf course by Nick Faldo and housing for 160 employees.The 262-year lease for the site has already been signed, and groundbreaking on the resort is expected to take place this Fall.The Club Med, which used to reside on the site, was closed for 20 years before it was imploded in 2008 in anticipation of the Park Hyatt project.While the bulk of the site is intended to be built on the old Club Med, a desalinisation plant and a sewage treatment facility are expected to be built in the area between Slippery Hill and Old Military Road, which is surrounded by a residential area.In the letter, Mr Hillier suggests that the facility be moved to an alternate site, suggesting one area east of Old Military Road, near a military graveyard, and the old water catch near the golf course’s 18th hole.“This would be ideal as, if the Corporation/Bermuda Government tie in the existing St George’s system, we could solve the town’s problem as well,” Mr Hillier said.“Please be so kind as to look into these very real suggestions so we can resolve this issue and feel comfortable with our new neighbours.”
