1.0 BACKGROUND
Provision was made in the Municipality of Clarington's 2004 Capital Budget and
Forecast for the reconstruction of Scugog Street from Middle Road in Bowmanville.
This project was to have been constructed in conjunction with the development of a
portion of plan 18T-8l086 abutting Scugog Street, which requires underground
services to facilitate the servicing and construction of houses abutting Scugog Street
(see Attachment #1). In addition to the lots abutting Scugog Street, Middle Road
Developments Inc. has other residential lands abutting Middle Road that they propose
to develop (see Attachment #1) in the future. This development will require that a
portion of Middle Road be constructed to facilitate the servicing of these residential lots.
The Municipality's 2004 Capital Budget and Four Year Forecast shows that this
reconstruction work has been scheduled for 2005.
In addition to the Middle Road Developments Inc. development, Maple Wood Land
Corporation recently submitted a new proposal to develop plan 18T-8l086 (see
Attachment #1). The development of these newly acquired lands will require that a
further section of Scugog Street, beyond the portion contained in our 2004 Capital
Budget, be reconstructed (see Attachment #1). Reconstruction of a collector road such
as Scugog Street is a major undertaking and one that will result in unavoidable
disruption to our residents. Given that this is true it would be only prudent to reconstruct
both sections of Scugog Street simultaneously, in 2005, so that we can facilitate both
developments with minimal disruption to the community. The additional time this
provides will also gives us the necessary time we need to complete the design work for
the entire section of Scugog Street and to carry out Public Information Centres to inform
our residents of the proposed infrastructure improvements and to gather comments.
2.0 ROAD CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE
As an alternative to balance the servicing and timeline needs of both developers while
minimizing the disruption to our residents, we recommend that Scugog Street be
designed and constructed as one project. This would necessitate deferring the
reconstruction of Scugog Street until next year. The servicing of that portion of Plan
757
REPORT NO.: EGD-37-o4
PAGE 4
18T -87086 abutting Middle Road, which is a section of the Middle Road reconstruction
project, needs to be advanced. The costs of the works required to service the Middle
Road Developments Inc. development abutting Middle Road are estimated at $126,210.
These works will ideally be completed in lieu of the Scugog Street project which was
estimated at $145,630 and was proposed for reconstruction in our Capital Budget, in
2004.
Listed below is a summary of the funding changes that would result from constructing
Middle Road in 2004, in lieu of Scugog Street:
Scugog Street
Middle Road
Difference in Costs
$145,630
$126,210
$19,420

$102,407
$23,943
Tax Levy
Project
Total Costs
$19,280
$23,803
$4,523
The costs and funding implications of exchanging the Middle Road project for the
Scugog Street project are:
1. A reduction in the total project costs of $19,420.
2. A reduction in the funding from our development charge reserve of $23,943.
3. An increase in our tax levy support of $4,523.
The increase in tax levy support can be funded from the Road Contribution Reserve
Fund,account.
The Middle Road reconstruction project described as the Middle Road Urbanization
Works in the draft subdivision agreement between the Municipality and Middle Road
Developments Inc" contains provisions dealing with having the developer assume
responsibility for the reconstruction of Middle Road and the Municipality reimbursing the
developer for our share of the cost of the works. The Municipality's costs shall be
determined based on the costs defined in the Municipality's Development Charge By-
law and Background Report and the Cost Sharing Report, approved and satisfactory to
the Director of Engineering. 7 5 8

Furthermore, the construction of the Middle Road Urbanization Works will be facilitated
as part of the works required to service the Middle Road Development Inc. subdivision
and will be subject to the terms and conditions of the subdivision agreement entered
into between the Municipality and Middle Road Development Inc. The payment to
Middle Road Development Inc. for the reconstruction of the Middle Road Urbanization
Works is due upon the issuance of a Certificate of Completion for these works by the
Director of Engineering and is subject to the applicable provision of the subdivision
agreement. In order to accommodate the construction and payment to Middle Road
Developments Inc., the Purchasing by-law 94-129 must be waived thereby allowing
these works to be included in the developer's tendering contract in conjunction with the
construction of all the internal subdivision works, estimated at approximately
$4,000,000.
3.0 CONCLUSION
Staff are recommending that the Middle Road reconstruction project be advanced to
2004 in lieu of the Scugog Street project and that the Scugog Street project be deferred
until 2005. This report has been reviewed by the Finance Department and they concur
with the recommendations contained herein.
