REPORT:
In August 1986, residents of Langmaid Road, Lot 32/33, Concession 5, former
Darlington, attempted to improve drainage by installing concrete drains and
I
an unapproved storm sewer along the eastern edge of the road.
Public Works Department Reports WD-78-86 and WD-95-86 were submitted to the
General Purpose & Administration Committee for consideration. Staff were
directed to meet with the residents to discuss the various suggested
alternatives to ameliorate the problems and report back to the General
Purpose and Administration Committee. Monies were included in the 1987
Public Works Department Budget to make the necessary repairs.

Meetings were held'with' the concerned property owners and follow-up

The Public Works Department proceeded with the project in November, 1987,
i
and the following work was completed:
- Replacement of existing cross road culvert and installation of rip rap.
I
i
(The new culvert is longer in length and allows for a wider road surface
at this location.)
- Removal of all storm sewer pipe and appurtenances, and stock piled same
on owner's property.
- Replacement of all driveway culverts with full driveway restoration.
- Shaping of an aesethetically acceptable, maintainable ditch across the
frontage of all affected properties.
- Seeding of disturbed areas and installation of a straw erosion blanket.
The works are now substantially complete and it is anticipated that only
minor restoration will be required in 1988 and will be accomodated out of
the regular approved Public Works roadside maintenance budget.
Respectfully submitted, Recommended for presentation
to the Committee,
