CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON

REPORT NO.: EGD-008-09

1.0 BACKGROUND
Nash Road is classified as a Type B Arterial Road in the Clarington Official Plan and
is identified in the Municipalities development charge by-law. The section of
roadway between Courtice Road and Harry Gay Drive serves existing residents,
commuter traffic, and new development in the area. The Municipality of Clarington
will be urbanizing this section of road and the Region of Durham will be installing a
nominal amount of Regional infrastructure with the limits of the project. A portion of
the road has recently been excavated and reinstated due to the installation of
sewers to support the Hancock Neighbourhood. Through the proposed
reconstruction, attempts will be made to utilize the majority of the work previously
completed thereby taking advantage of earlier efforts by the developer. The
proposed reconstruction limits are shown in Attachment #1.
2.0 APPROACH
To assess suitable construction measures of the project and to obtain local residents
input to the design process, a joint Public Information Centre was held to present the
project proposal. The public was notified of the meeting by newspaper
advertisement, the Municipality's information board and website, and through
circulation notices to those who are directly affected by the proposed works.
3.0 INFORMATION CENTRE
A Public Information Centre (PIC) was held on February 24, 2009 at the Courtice
Community Centre. At the meeting the following documentation and plans were
presented for discussion:
· Existing road condition base plans, showing proposed road works with aerial
photography as a background for both Clarington and the Regional works;
· A typical road sections for the urban design;
· Photographs of existing pavement structure and residential entrances;

· The proposed landscape plans for Nash Road;
· The future alignment for the extension of Nash Road from Harry Gay Drive to
Hancock Road;
· The full set of preliminary engineering drawings;
· An artist's rendition of the final product;
· A Tree Assessment Report and Geotechnical Report was available for reading.
The register and comment sheets are on file with the Engineering Services
Department and available for review. Of the five residential properties on the north
side of Nash Road, three property owners appeared at the PIC. The Engineering
Department discussed the needs of the Church property at the Engineering counter
prior to the meeting and also had discussions with an interested resident in the area
following the PIC.
The design proposal presented was generally well received with concerns
expressed relating to drainage. Others were merely in attendance as interested
observers satisfied with the works proposed.
The concerns with respect to the drainage where generally associated to
connections of existing sump pumps and the overall grading and drainage of the
area. As such the design team is now proposing additional catchbasins to resolve
the issues and comments made by the public. The Municipality had already allowed
for sump pump connection through the design process and will also be providing the
Church property with a storm sewer connection to property line should they decide
to re-grade and pave the parking area in the future.

5.0 DISCUSSION
As a result of the Public Information Centre and counter discussions, detailed design
will be finalized and design drawings and tender documents will be prepared for the
project to target an early spring tender call. This will allow Council the opportunity to
consider the project for a construction in spring of 2009.
