M E M O h A N D U M --- No. 28
TO: Bruce Tink7 Chairman of Public Works Committee
FROM: John Ferguson? C.E.T.t Engineering Department
DATE: January 19, 1976
SUBJECT:- Watercourse Lot on Third Street in Bowmanville
Further to the Public Works Committee of Jan-
uary 19, 1976. The following events have
evolved since the subject lot was applied for
through the Committee of Adjustment for sever-
ance.
In April 1973, an application was made to the
Committee of Adjustment to create the lot in
question.
On May 237 19731 the Committee's decision was
that a lot be created by taking 37.50 feet
from each of the applicants land to create the
lot.
On August 31 1973, a letter was sent to Mr.
Gleiberman of Sandler, Gordon and Gleiberman
from H. Wight stating that a building permit
was available on payment of 4250.00 severance
fee plus the usual Building Permit fees.
In February of 1974, a building permit was
applied for. The Building Department at that
time asked for a soils report on the subject
land which was received. The Building permit
was never issued or picked up.
In November of 1975, Mr. Y. Potter came to
myself with his proposed plan for drainage of
his lot.
On December 18, 1975, I brought my revisions to
his plan and a report to the Works Committee for
their comments. A t that meeting a motion was
passed stating that no further action be taken
at this time.
(continued). . . . . 2
On January 6, 19769 I met with Mr. Don Pearson
of C.L.O.C.A. to discuss, the matter and receive
his feelings on the situation at an on site
meeting.
OnJanuary12,, 1976p I received the following
letter from Mr. Bryan Howard of C.L.O.C.A.
statin gg their views on the matter (see attached
letter)....
Therefore, this brings the Committee to where
the situation is at the present time. Therefore
if I am correct in reading Mr. Howard's letter
of January 12, 1976, it is the Conservation
Authority which governs in these watercourses
and not the Municipalities.
Also, Mr. Potter and myself individually have
spoken with the property owner on the west side
of the subject property. The owner is willing
to add approximately 2 feet to the elevation of
his rear yard. I do believe that he will also
require a permit to fill his yard. Mr. Potter
and Mr. Butler have agreed that measures could
be taken to form drainage swales abutting the
two properties.
Hoping that this resolves any matters which have
arisen over this situation.

Dear Sir: RE: Waterhouse lot on Third Street in
Bowmanville
With respect to the above mentioned property, the proposal has been inspected in
the field and reviewed in this office.
Since much of the area previously drained by the watercourse now drains through
a different system, it appears that the majority of the water affecting the
subject lot is runoff from a small subdivision which passes to the lot via an
18"diameter steel culvert which terminates just north-west of the subject lot.
Additional surface water from about six lots also reaches the subject property,
and this total amount of water could probably be accommodated by the proposed
21" diameter culvert as indicated in your plan.
The affect of filling in the subject lot to the grades specified to accommodate
construction of the proposed dwelling would be to divert surface runoff towards
the western boundary of the property. The lot immediately west of and adjacent
to the subject property may require some filling at the north-east corner so that
excess water does not accumulate in that area, however, this would have to be
agreeable to the owner of said adjacent lot.
Note that this Authority's Fill, Construction, and Alteration to Waterways Regu-
lation applies to all watercourses within the area under its jurisdiction, and
