ITEM IV

‘re: Anita Drive Storm Sewer

Reference is made to the letter to the Mayor and
Council dated January llth, 1978 from Mr. Eric Huffy, a copy
of which is attached hereto.

The basic problem on Anita Drive is that this street
was paved and curbed without any storm sewer installation. A
storm sewer installation on Anita Drive would solve the consid-
erable problem of water flowing down the street and freezing
during cold weather periods. A storm sewer installation was
considered for the 1976 budget but did not make it past the
Public Works Committee. $35,000 was placed for Council consid-—-
eration in the 1977 budget but did not receive approval.

It has been pointed out that there is another program
by which a storm sewer.could be installed on Anita Drive, that is
under a Local Improvement Program. A storm sewer installation
under the normal construction schedule would cost $1.00 per front
foot for ten years. A storm sewer installation under the advanced
construction schedule would cost $2.00 per front foot for ten
years. In other words, for a 75-foot lot the cost per year for
ten years would be $75.00 per year or $150.00 per year depending
on which schedule was selected.

In view of the manner in which similar problems have
been dealt with and improvements provided the Committee recommends
that a storm sewer be provided under the Local Improvement Program.
