BACKGROUND 2.1 In accordance to the conditions of draft approval, the developer of Challenger Park Estates was required to upgrade Arthur Street to an urban road standard including grading, granular base, sub-base, curb and gutter, hot mix asphalt, sidewalk, storm sewers and streetlighting in conjunction with the construction of the Challenger Park Estates Subdivision (see Attachment No.l) . i 1 6 . . .2 ` DBIO0]T 0O" : V0}-67-89 PAGE Z ________________________________________________________________________________ 2.2 The construction of the Challenger Pork Estates Subdivision began the week of June 12, 1989. However, work will not commence on Arthur Street until all nounezus are addressed and the design is finalized to our satisfaction. 3.3 Due to the fact that the future reconstruction of Highway #3 through the Village of Newcastle detailed a significant future vertical alignment change, it is prudent to have the developer construct Arthur Street with the appropriate tapers to just south of Orchard Heights Drive. In future, when Highway #2 is reconstructed, Arthur Street will be then completed at the most of the developer, by the Ministry of Transportation Ontario. 3. INFORMATION C8Y0RO 3.1 An Information Centre was held at the Newcastle Village Town 8aII located at 20 King Street West, in the Village of Newcastle on June 15, 1989' between the hours of 4:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. 3"2 Local residents were informed of the Public Meeting by hand delivered letters and by Public Notice in the Cmua8ieu Statesman (see Attachment Nn.2 and 00.3) . 3.3 Three local residents attended the information centre and one resident spoke to staff prior to the meeting as he was ouobIe to attend the meeting. 3.4 The residents were generally in favour of the proposed works. However, a number of oouoerua seemed to be unanimous among the residents. They are as follows: I. Sidewalk location relative The standard sidewalk location to existing trees will be adjusted to accommodate and save existing trees where possible. . . .3 1 [l1 / REPORT NO. : WD-67-89 PAGE 3 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. Dust control The Town has a Road Condition Policy that addresses this concern and it will be enforced. 3. Driveways and lot grading Residents were assured that adjacent to the new road positive drainage to the road would be achieved from the driveways and the front yards. 3.5 Further to the above-noted concerns, one of the residents, Mr. Jim Colwill (S/W corner of Andrew Street and Arthur Street) had a number of concerns with respect to the development to the west. These are being addressed by the developer's consultant, G.M. Sernas & Associates and we expect they will be resolved in the near future. 4. RECOMMENDATION 4.1 It is, therefore, recommended that this report be received for information; and 4.2 That a copy of this report be sent to all residents who attended the Information Centre.
