Report No. WD- 100 -86
Due to delays caused by the excessive amount of inclement weather being
experienced this fall, the relatively early onset of winter weather, and
problems experienced due to the high water table which was caused by the wet
summer, it is now not possible to pave Nash Road or Varcoe Road.
Until the storm which took place on Tuesday, December 9, 1986, there was
still a hope that some paving could be completed, however, the conditions
are now such that to have any assurance that we will not lose the asphalt
even as early as next spring, the asphalt paving must be postponed until
the spring of 1987.
Town staff and the developer, his engineer and his contractor, have agreed
that throughout the winter months the Town will perform winter maintenance
on the roads in question and the contractor will grade and level the gravel
surface as required. The condition of Nash Road and Varcoe Road will be
reviewed on a regular basis to ensure that the surface is maintained in as
good a condition as possible.
A letter will be delivered to the residents explaining the revised paving
schedule and winter arrangements.
