Report on Drainage - Mountain- The following report regarding drainage in Mountainview View Subdivision, was read by Councillor P.L. Michel: iSubd'n. "I believe the solution to Mr. Kirby's problem de- pends on whether Council recognizes the need to proceed with urgent municipal works. This, of course, means borrowing money and no doubt higher taxes. You are aware the question of proper drainage in Lucerne is becoming more acute as development and road improvement progresses. Water courses have been tampered with and correct- ing or redirecting streams is not the responsibility of a few taxpayers who suffer inundation. The onus of responsibility here, in my opinion, rests with the mun- 1 icipality as a whole. There are three cases of flooding such as described by Mr. Kirby. One on Atholl-Doune, one in Glenwood, and one in the Cedar Drive area. Others have come to light along Garden, Maple Grove and Foley. The reason for this flooding is simple - there is virtually no control of water courses in our Municipal- ity except for a few ditches which in the main should follow north-south courses and along municipal right-of- ways. In the cases mentioned, ditches do not follow roads. As a result, water flows across private property with damaging results. I cannot recommend solving the drainage along Vaniex and ignore others which have existed for a longer period « g and which do more damage. If we redirect a natural I > 2I.S t= d stream on the strength of Mr. Kirby's request the prece- dent will then be set. Other such requests will follow in rapid succession. The first step to a solution, I submit, is to have 3S w^ our engineers produce a study of the general drainage 0- M 3 problem from McConnell Road to the Ottawa River; this study to include cost.
