3 4. Reverend Poussett of Chartwell Drive, was present regarding drainage problems in the Somerset Subdivision, Reverend Poussett indicated that it appears as though the Municipality has made a mistake and the property Owners are now being made to pay for the corrective action. Reverend Poussett indicated that the Municipality should be prepared to pay a portion of the costs to rectify the problem, In connection with the recommendation that the owners of the houses on Kingston Place be permitted to divert the roof drainage to their storm sewers, at their own cost, Reverend Poussett indicated that this problem of roof drainage was caused by the action of the Municipality which prevented original development plans being followed. Reverend Poussett indicated that this cost should be borne by the Municipality, Reverend Poussett added that unless the Municipality actively encourages the owners on Kingston Place to make this change in roof drainage, and offers financial assistance, only a portion of the owners will make the change, Others will not, for most of their roof drainage runs away to neighbours properties below, M In connection with the Engineer's second reconmendation that the remainder of the problem be solved by co-operative action of the owners, Reverend Poussett indicated that the property Owners had already proposed a drainage swale, or alternatively, an underground pipe along the rear property lines, Reverend Poussett indicated that since this drainage must go somewhere, the residents needed the active co-operation of the Municipality who owns the storm sewers and roads, Reverend Poussett added that the Engineer's report pays no attention to the problem already existing on 146th Street below 80th Avenue where sidewalks are covered with streams of running water, rocks and mud during periods of rainfall and are thus unusable during seasons when they are most needed. Reverend Poussett added3that there has been no attempt made by the Engineering Department to address the problems with the property owners and the recomendations proposed are not appropriate, Reverend Poussett pointed out that the residents cannot finish their back yards until they know what action the Municipality is going to take, Reverend Poussett concluded that the residents were looking for financial compensation from the Municipality.

The report indicated that a site inspection was carried out by the Engineering Department and Mr. Birch was contacted. The creek to which Mr. Birch makes reference is in fact the main branch of Hyland Creek and is presently 60 metres wide. The report indicated that the erosion is not so much a problem of the under cutting of the steam bed, as a redefinition of the channel within the floodplain caused by sedimentation at points of low water velocity within the watercourse. The funds to which Mr. Birch refers for correction to this type of situation are available for consideration under future natural watercourse programs. The Engineer was recormtending that Mr. Birch of nd Street be advised formally by the Clerk's Office of the Corporation's policy regarding upkeep of natural watercourses over which it has no right-of-way and further that a watercourse improvement project be considered for a future year program after a decision has been made as to the future subdivision of this land.

19 U pressure as a result of the rains of December, 1980, aggravated by the surcharge caused by the extra fill having been placed at the top of the bank. The report concluded that the Corporation had no rights-of-way over natural watercourses and therefore had no responsibility for the maintenance on private property.

RES.NO. F-768 Item 2024 Alderman Schrenk by Alderman Buckley recomnendation of the Manager be U The Manager submitted a report from the Municipal Engineer dealing with Mrs. M. L. McCoy's letter regarding chromoglass sewage disposal systems. Mrs, McCoy had inquired into whether or not the chromoglass system of sewage disposal would allow the lot owners to build on lots so far rejected as unfit for regular septic disposal systems. The report indicated that this subject system involves pretreatment of the sewage effluent prior to the disposal in the regular system. The report added that since approvals for alternate sewage disposal systems lies with the Boundary Health Unit, the Health Unit was requested whether or not they would approve their use. 19.

20 The report minted out that theboundary Health Unit had advised that although the chromoglass system produces quality effluent, there is no change in the size and depth of field required for proper evapotranspiration of the same volume of effluent. Therefore, there is no relief for the lots rejected as unfit for regular septic disposal systems. The report concluded that since these lots are outside the sewage catchment area, it would be futile to consider servicing them under any other scheme.

Item 2025 The Manager suhitted a report from the Engineer dealing with the sanitary sewer on Indian Fort Drive. The report indicated that a Late Comer Agreemnt is not a feasible approach to having owners of developable land share the cost of the Indian Fort Drive sewer bt there are other vehicles available. These, however, imply significant change in Council policies. The benefits to develop property resulting from the proposed Indian Fort Drive sewer extension are similar to the benefits enjoyed by numerous properties throughout Surrey resulting from the sewer extension policies and programs of the last decade. The Engineer was recomendirlg-that neither a Late Comer charge nor any special charge be applied to the developable land benefitting from the proposed Indian Fort Drive sewer. U The report noted that Section 642 (Late Comers) authorizes Council to pass a By-law to establish the conditions for extending the utility system. The By-law may provide refunds to the applicant although no refunds are to be made after 5 years from the completion of the extension. The report added that Section 726, Subsection 6 of the Municipal Act authorizes the passage of a By-law to regulate the subdivision of land. The By-law may provide for sharing the cost of a trunk sewer system. The report noted that in the case of the proposed Indian Fort Drive sewer, the Municipality is to build an extension to safe guard the health of the community at the urging of the Medical Health Officer and the residents. In the process, the sewer will provide a benefit to owners of land which are not now polluted and but are capable o_f subdivision. The report noted that alternate methods that could be considered were district iqrovewnts, or the development cost charges. 20. The Manager yas r&&nending that neither a Late Comer Agreement nor any special charge be applied to developable land benefitting from the proposed Indian Fort Drive sewer.

The applicant has requested a variance of Zoning By-law No. 5942, Part XLVIII, 1.4 to allow relaxation of the side yard requirements from 25 feet to 0. The site is only 66 feet in width and the I-S zone requires a 25 foot side yard in the case of a site adjoining a residential zone. This requirement would affect both side yards, leaving only a 16 foot strip to site a building. The report indicated that as the surrounding area is being rezoned to I-G, and the written consent of the neighbouring owners has been obtained, this relaxation of the side yard requirements is justified.
