"Report of Duffin's Creek Committee on Riverside Drive Ratepayers Association' brief to R.D.H.P. Conservation Authority on May 16th/56. The Duffin's Creek Committee met on the site on June 18th/56, all members present with the exception of the Reeve of Pickering Village, and considered t Riverside Ratepayers Association request that Scheme A of the Kilborn Engineer ing report on Duffins Greek be proceeded with as soon as possible. This scheme involved an expenditure of approximately $88,000. The committee felt that this would not be a permanent solution. (1) Your committee notes in the brief that Hurricane Hazel caused Riverside Drive area only "a fleeting moment of excitement" but believe that had the same amount of water fallen on this area that fell on more westerly areas the Riverside Drive flood problem could be readily solved. (2) Your committee believe that the section in Duffins Creek straightened in 1955 reduced the hazards of floods and ice jams to this area and feel that the expenditure of approximately $3,000 to accomplish this was a generous con- tribution on the part of the Department of Planning and Development and the mu icipality of the Township of Pickering. Danger of damage from extreme floodin housing and property still exist. (3) The committee does not consider that conditions in this area, near Riverside Drive, warrant any further major stream corrections, but that if any work be done through the R.D.H.P. Conservation Authority, that the municipalit share of the cost be based on a Local Improvement scheme and assessed to the b fitting property owners. - 2 - R. D. H. P. Report - Continued (4) As the Village of Pickering is in the process of preparing an application to present to the Municipal Board far the annexation of a portion of the Town- ship of Pickering which would include the Riverside Area, your Committee is not agreed on recommending purchase of, or expropriation of, the properties in- volved at this time. (5) The Cooper Block Company has extended the channel cut opposite their property and south of No. 2 Highway. (Signed) W. H. Westney Chairman, Special Duffin's Creek Commit· 7. Ltd.
