1. Tender Drawings and Cost Estimates for the West Side Parking Lot
The Committee discussed the tender drawings prepared by Reid and Associates
Consulting Engineers and David Tomlinson Landscape Architect. Cost
estimates are higher than originally anticipated. This is due largely to
the following items:

approximately $15,000
(2} construction of a water main to provide a hydrant on Yonge Street -
approximately $7,000 (this was previously approved by Council,
however, it is an item subject to a grant and can be charged to this
project)

A. DELEGATIONS
1. Mr. Sheppard -Trillium Drive and later to move to Owl's Gate Crescent
He stated his reasons for asking that the request of Granada Investments to
eliminate sidewalks in some areas be refused. He contended that all streets
except short cul-de-sacs should have at least one sidewalk.
The Committee recommends that no change be made from Town policy and that
sidewalks be constructed in accordance with the approved construction plans.
The Committee would further recommend that the Technical Committee is
requested to formulate a policy regarding sidewalks on cul-de-sacs, for
future discussion by Council.
B. OTHER MATTERS
1. Flooding Policy
In time of flooding, the Works Department give priority to Town
responsibilities involving possible liability, for example, road washouts or
sewer collapses. If men and equipment are available the department will
respond to a request for assistance from a homeowner but they will be made
aware of the fact that they will be billed for the Town costs.
, 2. Murray Drive Walkway Protective Guardrail
The Works Department will erect a guardrail across the entrance to the
walkway between the sidewalk and the curb to prevent children from exiting
straight on to the road.

With reference to the Council discussion about the sidewalks continuing
across the driveways to Williams School this has been Council practice for a

Recently when this practice was inadvertently not followed several
complaints were received from the public.

Report# 25-Economic Development Committee ... Various Matters
The Committee respectfully submits the following:
A meeting of the Economic Development Committee was held on Monday, February 25,
1985 at 7:00 p.m. in the Administrative Centre.
Present Were: Councillors Earl Stewart, Tim Jones and Richard Barker.
1. Review of January 17th, 1985 Meeting
(a) Property Maintenance Standards By-Law
As the new Property Maintenance Standards by-law has had its third
reading and is now in force, the Committee would ask Council to
instruct the By-Law Officers to notify all property owners who are
contravening this by-law that enforcement will take place if these
properties are not brought up to a reasonable standard.
(b) Gravity Sewer Line to St. John's Sideroad
The Committee is concerned about the delay in progress of this
project as it looks as if an extra $74,000.00 will have to be spent
to install a temporary sewage pumping station for Park # 3 and they
are also concerned that by adding any additional sewage flow to the
Centre Street pumping station it will cause premature failure of
this now overloaded pumping facility which will in turn cause
further unrecoverable expense to repair and considerable
inconvenience to the property owners presently being serviced by
this pumping facility.
(c) Mary Street Extension in Park # 3
The plans are now prepared and tenders should be called within a
matter of a few weeks.
