ENG., DIRECTOR HAMPTON,ONTARIO TEL.(416)263-2231 LOB 1J0 987-5039 REPORT TO THE GENERAL PURPOSE AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF FEBRUARY 7, 1983. REPORT NO. : WD-11-83 SUBJECT: ENTRANCE PERMIT NO. 944 Mr. & Mrs. Pollet, Lot 6, RP M745 i RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully recommended: That this report be received for information. BACKGROUND AND REPORT: In August, 1982, Mr. Peter Pollet applied for property access to Lot 6, Registered Plan M-745, fronting the Seventh i Concession Road just east of Tyrone. The application was received, costed and approved August 28, 1982 enabling Mr. & Mrs. Pollet to proceed with obtaining a building permit. The entranceway was installed on or about October 1 , 1982, using a 15"dia.x 24 ft. culvert and related granular materials. As the remainder of the lots in the subdivision developed, the Works Department received several complaints regarding roadside drainage abutting this development. The complaints involved surface water ponding in the ditch, contaminating wells and seeping into basements. ? p - 2 - In early December Works Staff responded to these complaints by regrading the ditch and boulevard abutting the westerly portion of the subdivision. The regrading involved relocation of the drainage high point from the east side of Lot 6 to the west side of Lot 6, and resetting driveway culverts. Under the new drainage pattern, the culvert initially installed for access to the Pollet property was no longer required, and consequently the culvert was removed and replaced with granular material . Mr. Pollet attended the Public Works Office requesting a refund for the removed culvert. The refund was denied as outlined in the attached letter. The Public Works Department is responsible to maintain all culverts and accesses, except for the driving surface, in accordance with the Entrance Policy By-law 81-37, Section 2(o) . In general , accesses without culverts are preferred since minimum ditch slopes can be provided making the property aesthetically more pleasing and easier to maintain with mowers. Problems associated with blocked or heaved culverts are also eliminated. The Pollets contend that since they were initially required to pay for an entrance culvert which has since been removed, they should receive a refund of a portion of the initial cost of the access. It is the position of the Works Department that later improvements made by the Town to the drainage of the entire area made the culvert redundant and it was therefore removed. Such works are performed in other areas with no refunds to the original culvert purchasers. The Town is therefore being consistent in its approach to such matters. - 3 - Mr. and Mrs. Pollet were charged $460.00, in accordance with Schedule "A" (1), By-law 81-37. The inventory cost of a 15" dia. x 24 ft. is $5.35 per ft. x 24 ft. = $128.40. All costs associated with the roadside ditch work were charged against the developers contribution for upgrading the road. Respectfully submitted, R.G. Dupuis, P. Eng. , Director of Public Works.

I Dear Sir: Re: Application for Property Access No. 944. Lot 6, Registered Plan M-745 (TYRONE` . Further to your recent enquiry, this is to confirm that the Public Works Department is unable to refund the cost of the culvert installation, as performed under the subject permit. ! The Town installed the entrance, as required, and as you are aware later performed roadside ditching to improve the drain- age of properties in the area. As a result of these works, the Town was able to remove the driveway culvert and provide You with a no-culvert entrance. i ` If in the future it is found that a culvert is required, the i Town will' install same, at no cost to the property owner. Trusting this work has caused as little Possible. inconvenience as f' E� Yours truly, l D.T. Gray, .E.T. , f Deputy Director of Public Works. r cc: R.G. Dupuis , P. Eng. , Director. G.
