The only problem is, there is not supposed to be a base-curb in any subdivision being built within the Township of Scugog. Roads Superintendent Ronn Mac- Donald informed council Monday morning that over 2,300 mteres of base-curb has already been con- structed, and he does not recom- mend two-stage curbing in the township. He explained to council that he prefers curbs to be built all in one procedure as he feels that two-stage curbs will not stand up to the heavy equipment used for snow removal in the Township. "I have to admit that other municipalities, such as Whitby, who use the two-stage curb feel they are fine, but I am not convinced they will work here," he said. Two-stage curbs are built in two procedures. A base is laid in the ground, and then when all of the ground work is completed in the subdivision, and the roads are ready for paving, the top of the curb is placed over the base. The problem with this method as Mr. MacDonald sees it, that there is not a good bon- ding of the two stages, and he feels it will be prone to damage from snow ploughs, or by water freezing between the layers of concrete. Cost to remove the 2,300 meters of base-curb is estimated to be about $60,000, and at one point in the discussion Council was ready to in- sist that the curb be ripped-up and replaced. Councillor Harvey Graham said "although we are not happy with what they have done, we may be willing to live with it if they give us some assistance in upgrading Lorne Street." Regional Councillor Lawrence Malcolm suggested that council could ask for $30,000 as a penalty for not following the engineering plans "This would still save them over $30,000," he said. Councillor Yvonne Christie said she hated to see them have to tear it up, and hoped that council could come up with an acceptable com- promise. "Possibly we could ask for a 10 year letter of credit," she said. Mr. MacDonald told council that the developers realized they made a mistake, and they are willing to guarantee their work with a perfor- mance bond. "They have apologiz- ed for the mistake, and they did not try to deceive us," he said. He explained that the cost of two- stage curbs is considerably more costly than one stage construction, so he did not understand why they picked this method. "It appears that they just erred," said Mayor Taylor. "They were not trying to slip one by us." Council made no decision on a remedy for the mistake, as it was not imperative for the work to con- tinue in the subdivision. "The curb can be taken out any time up until the final lift of asphalt," MacDonald said. Township may crack down on leaf-burning Scugog Township may crack down on persons who burn fall leaves in 1988. Administrator Earl Cuddie in- formed members of council Monday afternoon that the practise of burn- ing leaves is not permitted under provincial regulations and his office received numerous complaints this fall, especially from Port Perry residents. He said Scugog must launch a publi¢ information campaign next year to inform Township residents that burning leaves is not allowed, and the municipality will act when complaints are received. Ward 2 councillor Howard Hall agreed completely with the sugges- tion of a crack-down. He said there were numerous people treated at the Community Hospital for breathing problems that were pro- bably caused by the heavy palour of smoke that hung over Port Perry on certain days in October. And he said he has heard from one motorist who narrowly missed hitting a child who was not visible because of the heavy smoke. Mr. Cuddie said it is an offense to burn any kind of debris or trash in Scugog Township without permis- sion from the Chief of the Kire Department. S .
