Wilmot Street in the Village of Newcastle, be
received;
THAT the correspondence be referred to the
Director of Public Works for review and
preparation of a report to the General Purpose
and Administration Committee; and
THAT Bill Bradbury be advised of Council's
decision. "
3.0 REVIEW AND COMMENT
3. 1 Surface waters from Regional Road 17 and lands on the north
side of Wilmot Street presently drain across the road to the
south side. The water then travels westerly along the south
side of the road, dropping down to an existing culvert
pipe/watercourse in front of the Kirby residence. Since there
are no functioning ditches, the water tends to build up and
flow in an arbitrary, uncontrolled manner along the surface,
causing erosion damage at the Kirby driveway.
3.2 Improved grading of the gravel shoulder at the east limit of
Wilmot Street was completed in December, 1994 . This
I
alleviates some of the problem by redirecting surface water
directly to the existing creek.
3.3 Further to the west, an existing 27 inch (675 mm) culvert pipe
i
travels along the entire south side of the roadway. An
existing culvert on the north side of Wilmot Street (opposite
the Kirby residence) presently drains southerly into the 27
inch pipe. A new catchbasin has been installed on the south
side of the road, using the existing culvert system.
REPORT NO. : WD-6-95 PAGE 3
3.4 The road will be resurfaced this summer, at which time grading
will be carried out to ensure surface water is directed into
the culvert at the north side and the new catchbasin on the
south side of the road.
4.0 CONCLUSIONS
4 . 1 By regrading the shoulder at the east limit of Wilmot Street,
the volume of water flowing westerly down the street to the
Kirby residence has been reduced. In addition, the
installation of the new catchbasin on the south side of the
road, along with the resurfacing/regrading to be done in 1995,
will further reduce the volume of water flowing across the
Kirby driveway to the creek. This will relieve the erosion
problems at the Kirby driveway.

Attention: Patti Barrie
Dear Ms. Barrie:
I represent Wenda Kirby and Alan Kirby, the, owners of property
located at 57 Wilmot Street, in the Village of Newcastle.
Mr. and Mrs. Kirby have brought to the attention of the Public
Works Department the severe problems they are experiencing with
Wilmot Street in relation to their driveway. The situation is
such that the existing slope of Wilmot Street causes a run-off.
This run-off consequently has resulted in damage by the way of
erosion to the Kirby's driveway and retaining wall. As wel 1,
major .icing problems are created in the winter.
Whi 1 e Public Works was synpa theti c to the Kirby's problem, they
did e plain that because the actual problem exists on municipal
property, the matter must first be brought to Council.
Accordingly, I, as Mr. and Mrs. Kirby's representative, ask that
this matter be heard by Council at ,the meeting being held on
October 11, 1994. I request as well to be received as the
Kirby's delectation.
If you require any further information, please do not hesitate to
contact me.
Thank you.
Yours sincerely,
Bill Bradbury
