MEMORANDUM

FROM: F.E. Peters,
City Engineer

SUBJECT: Local Improvement Projects for 1982

RECOMMENDATION:

That the work of local improvement requested by
petitioners for St. Anne Street be approved by Council and
that the storm sewer portion of the work only be extended
to include a section of Dorset from St. Anne to Flint and
a section of Flint from Dorset to Prairie.

BACKGROUND AND COMMENTS:

Two petitions for local improvement projects were
received in 1981. A petition from the residents of St. Anne
Street requested full local improvement works including storm
sewer, roads, curb and boulevard. A local improvement for
St. Anne Street was considered several years ago on a previous
petition but was denied by Council because of the excessive
cost to the City. The petition from the 3900 block Sefton
Street was for paving and curb and boulevard only as the road
already has storm sewer.

One of the reasons that the local improvement on
St. Anne Street was rejected previously was the high cost due
to the need to extend the storm sewer beyond the limits of the
local improvement project. Much of the excess cost was
unproductive in that it consisted of replacing existing sections
of storm sewer with a larger size. We have revised the design
so that the additional storm sewer which is required serves a
useful purpose by providing drainage to Flint Street. The cost
is still high, being estimated at $434,000 fer the complete
storm sewer as shown on Sketch A plus the reconstruction of
St. Anne Street with curb and boulevard. The amount recoverable
from the property owners under the current local improvement
rates would be about $44,420.
