ITEM I

Re: Drainage Problem at 2532 Kingsway Avenue

Council will be considering the rezoning of the
above property from RS<1 to M-1. Mx. Munroe, the owner of
the property, has been to the committee in the Past in order

. perty. To review for Council's information, the drainage
problem is the result of catch basins from Kingsway discharging
at the corner of his Property and running along the frontage
down Gately Street towards the river.

; Under normal circumstances, both the storm sewer
and the improvement of Gately Street would have been a require-
ment of rezoning. The total cost of both storm sewer and road
improvements is about $15,000.00. In this case, because the
present owner has a non-conforming property, the Committee is
prepared to recommend that tho owner be required only to install
the drainage system as part of his rezoning requirements. This
: would come to Approximately $9,000.00.

i Alternatively, if rezoning is not approved for the
: property, Mr. Munroe would still like the drainage problem
SOlved. Normal procedure for a property owner who wishes to

ge which

. would be equivalent to a ditch. If this work were to be done
by the City out of the City's capital budget, it would place
low on the priority list compared to the many other drainaga
Problems. The Conmittee therefore recommends that the responsi-
bility for storm sewering the frontage be the responsibility of
the owner, even if rezoning does not take place.
