Hobbs , Chairman of Public Works Committee FROM: John Ferguson, Engineering Department DATE: December 16, 1975 SUBJECT: Division of Watercourse for the purpose of producing a building lot on Third Street in Bowmanville On August 19, 1975, Council passed a by-law to permit the obstructing of any water course within the Town of Newcastle. This by-law prohibits any- one from blocking swales or drainage patterns which would cause water backups on the upstream end and flooding other property owners. At the present time , Mr. K. Potter a builder from Oshawa, wishes to build a semi-detached home on a lot on Third Street which at the present time is draining the water from the north. The builder has agreed to install a 21 inch culvert from the back of his property to the existing ditch as shoran on the attached drawing. The builder has also agreed to raise the elevation of the house to give more slope to the back of the property and into the mouth of the culvert. Therefore , I would appreciate your approval or comments on this proposed diversion at this time. John li ergu8ion. 7—a AOP --T---,, —T OV 'si Aelo� 4b. 14 40�ftft SAC 0 9„ 6v k,
