MEMORANDUM

TO: City Administrator November 20, 1986

FROM: City Engineer

SUBJECT: Seymour Street Drainage = Public Works Committee
November 18, 1986

Recommendation:

That a new catch basin and storm sewer ba Installed In the
low point on Seymour Street at an estimated cost of about
$6,000.00 and that funds be provided from the future capital.
reserve.

Background and Comments:

Seymour Street north of Davies Avenue Is a narrow lane
with a serious dratnage problem. The only drains In the area
are soak-aways and the one on Seymour Street has become. choked
with silt and roots and no l!onger functions. Consequentiy
there is a puddite of up to a three tnch depth extending
entirely across the width of the street. This is a great
inconvenience to the residents of the area which Include a

number of senfor citizens.

The neares+ storm sewer in the area Is on Gordon Avenue
and the cost of extending a storm sewer from this location to
the low spot in the tane Is about $6,000.00. Although this Is
not budgeted in the 1986 budget, the Committee feels that this
is serflous enough to warrant the provision of extra funds. The
only alternative available Is the construction of another soak~
away nearby with an extension from the low spot. This Is a
makeshift solution which would not be as effective for drainage
as a storm sewer connection but may solve most of the problem
for a few years. The cost of this alternative solution would

be about $1,000.00
