Director's Report to Public Works Committee of September 15, 1981.
Item: WD-107-81.
Date: September 1, 1981.
Subject: Road Allowance between Lots 2 & 3,
Concession 10, former Darlington.
.d
Recommendation:
THAT the request for the redesignation of the road allowance in
Lots 2 & 3, Concession 10, former Township of Darlington, from
unmaintained to Class 'A' Public Street, be denied.
Report:
A request was received that the Town redesignate the subject road
allowance which, for approximately seven-tenths of a kilometre
north of the Tenth Concession is maintained but north of that point
to the Boundary with the Township of Scugog it is unimproved and,
thus, receives no maintenance.
Prior to consideration being given to a redesignation, improvements
to the road allowance would be necessary and would include work
being done at the railway crossing.
I
Town Policy applicable to this request is that the municipality
will not undertake the construction of any unmaintained road but,
if approved, roads can be constructed by others subject to meeting
Town Design Criteria and Standards; following construction and
approval by the Town, such roads are then assumed by the Munic-
ipality for maintenance purposes.
The Boundary Road east and west of the road allowance between Lots
2 & 3 is an unmaintained road and, therefore, only one access to
the property is practical for this single lot; it would seem that
to undertake the expense involved in improving the road to provide
access would be impractical.

Dear Sir:
Further to our conversation of Thursday, July 9th,

Ruth Emslie and myself. ; I hereby request that the
municipality consider an ammendment to the By-Law concerning
