REPORT:
At the Council Meeting of June 23, 1986, Council passed Resolution #
C- 563 -86, requesting staff to review with the Region of Durham the
installation of Regional water and sewer services on Nash Road and all its
implications and to report back to G.P.A.C. as soon as possible.
On Thursday, June 26, 1986, as meeting was held with Gord Ough and John
Blanchard of the Town of Newcastle, and Walter Evans, Design Manager, Chang
Lee, Sewer & Water Design Engineer, and Jim Baker, Manager of Administrative
Services of the Region of Durham, in attendance.
The purpose of the meeting was to determine if it would be possible to
install the Regional services under Nash Road between Townline Road and
Varcoe Road at the time that the developer will be installing the storm
sewer in that section of road (August '86).

Report No. WD -58 -86
The action underway as a result of the meeting is that the Region will be
preparing a report for presentation to the Works Committee on July 8th to
address the Town of Newcastle's question of whether or not the services
could be installed at this time if the Town of Newcastle were willing to
upfront the frontage charges.
It became apparent that, since the design was not in place at this time, the
earliest the services could possibly go in would be in 1987. This would
mean that the storm sewer and minimal road restoration would be carried out
in 1986. The sanitary and water services and road reconstruction to urban
standards (i.e. curb & gutter) could go in 1987, if suitable financial
arrangements were made.
Some concerns were expressed about the legality of, and the precedent that
may be established if the municipality upfronted the frontage charges for
those residents that did not want the services (i.e. would it be legal to
collect frontage charges from home owners say five years from now for
services already in the ground in front of their properties? If not the
municipalities front ending costs may not be recoverable; and, if the Town
gets involved in 86/87 with Nash Road, might it be compelled to be involved
with say Varcoe Road north of Highway # 2 or Westmore Street east of
Courtice Road and north of Nash Road in 1987 or 1988).
Council will be advised when a decision has been received from the Region of
Durham Works Committee.
Respectfully submitted,
Gordon J. Ough, P. Eng.,
Director of Public Works.
