Ratepayers are upset over high cost of Fortune Drain Ratepayers involved with the ill-fated Fortune Municipal Drain discussed the matter at last Tuesday evening's meeting of Turn - berry council. After almost four years in the works, the four ratepayers assessed into the drain only recently received final billing. The drainage works were plagued by poor weather and labor disputes, all of which have resulted in an increase of almost 35 per cent in the originally estimated cost. Bill Shifflett of Gamsby and Mannerow, the firm that engineered the drain, at- tended the meeting to try and explain to George Merkley, Barry Ireland and Louise Marritt why there is the extra cost to the drain. Mr. • Merkley, whose assessment is over $20,000, told council and Mr. Shifflett that his main concern is the cost of the drain. Four years ago when the engineer's report was... brought . down, base for the tile in its swampy section. Also the drain took a lot longer to complete than anyone ever expected, which added significantly to the cost. Engineering' fees, which were first estimated at $6,436, more than•doubled to end up at $14,900. Mr. Shifflett cautioned the ratepayers they were in- formed early on in the drainage works when the trouble first arose that the cost of the drain would be more than had been estimated. But the three ratepayers present said they had no idea it would be so much more. Ratepayer Jim Renwick did not attend the meeting. Mrs. Merritt said she was disappointed, with council in its lack of communication with the ratepayers about the cost of the drain and how the work was progressing. Reeve Brian McBurney told her he thought council had gone out of its way to the make sure the -ratepayers knew what was happening with the drain, adding it called a meeting with , the - the estimated cost of drain was. $.55,583., But due to. extenuating:, circumstances,. its cost has shot up to $74,594. Mr. Shifflett said the Fortune Drain is the most complicated one he ever has been assigned to and he attributed the extra cost mainly to the stone that had to be used to build a suitable progress. Council had no idea either how much the drain was going to cost until last December when it received the final statement of billing from the engineer. Council went into com- mittee -of -the -whole to discuss the situation further. Deputy Reeve Doug Fortune declared a conflict of in- terest and refrained from the discussion. AMEND BYLAW Building Inspector Alex MacDonald attended the meeting to suggest that council enact an amendment to its building bylaw stating minimum setbacks from the centre line of the road for buildings. After some discussion it was decided that new buildings in open areas must be set back 75 feet from the centre of the road and in built-up areas, new buildings must be in line with existing structures.
