Director's Report to Public Works Committee of September 2, 1980.
ITEM: WD-104-80.
DATE: August 20, 1980.
SUBJECT: Tile Drainage Agreement.
BACKGROUND:
In April and July of 1980, Mr. Ken Allin, the owner of property in
parts of Lots 7 & 8, Concession 6, former Township of Darlington,
made application to the Town for a Tile Drainage Loan in respect
of drainage he intends to install within 47 acres of his lands.
REPORT:
The proposal was discussed during an on-site inspection with Mr.
Allin and it was felt that the optimum outfall would be via a drain
along the north limit of Concession 6, outfalling the system into
the creek which crosses Mr. Allin's property and Concession 6.
As the outfall would be located on Town-owned property, Mr. Allin
was advised that it would be necessary for him to enter into a
mutual agreement with the Town prior to any construction, and with
this he concurred.
The purpose of the proposed mutual Agreement is:
1. To define the exact location of the outfall.
2. To determine and confirm the responsibility for the
construction and maintenance of the outfall. (In
most cases the responsibility would be the owner's.)
3. To confirm that the Town will not obstruct the free
flow of water from the drainage system.
Presently, all landowners wishing to install drainage systems which
would cross an abutting owner's property, are required to enter into
an agreement with their neighbour,- thus defining and identifying all
responsibility and permitting the tile to cross adjoining lands.

The Agreement herein proposed is similar to that which is entered
into between private parties, with the exception that the signat-
ures of the Mayor and Clerk of the Town of Newcastle are required.
All such Agreements should be registered on the Title of the
landowner's property, and the use of these Agreements is recomm-
ended, wherever possible, by the Ministry of Agriculture & Food.
RECOMNMNDATION:
THAT, in respect of the installation of the
tile drainage system proposed by Mr. Ken Allin,
owner of lands in Lots 7 & 8, Concession 6,
former Township of Darlington, wherein the
system is required to cross Town of Newcastle
lands, the Mayor and Clerk be authorized to
sign a Mutual Agreement in respect of same,
and, further, that, any costs involved be
borne by the Applicant.
