BACKGROUND AND REPORT
Mr. Ron Sheridan, owner tennant of approximately 160 acres
of agricultural land situated in Lots 27 and 28, Concession
3, former Township of Darlington, has requested that the
Public Works Department maintain the short section of road
from approximately 1 .0 km north of Nash Road to 1.3 km north
of Nash Road. The road is shown as Hancock Road on the
Town Road Map.
The farm house has existed on the property for many years
and the road was maintained by the Town until the early
1970' s. At that time a fence placed on the road allowance
hampered the turning of Town road maintenance equipment and
Mr. Sheridan agreed to plow and grade the section of road
along with his own driveway rather than relocate the fence.
Mr. Sheridan has since relocated the conflicting fence and
has agreed to provide a turn around area to facilitate Town
road maintenance equipment.
The cost to upgrade this section of road to a reasonable
gravel standard would be $7,000.00. This work is
subsidizable at fifty percent (50%) and the funds would be
taken from the 1983 Works Maintenance Budget for Gravel
Resurfacing and Roadside Ditching.
It is, therefore, recommended that Council give approval to
proceed with the necessary action to re-assume the road
allowance and to upgrade the road to an acceptable gravel
road standard.
