REPORT
RECOMMENDATION
That the Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee recommend Council
approve the attached By-law for the partial abandonment of the Isaac Moore
Municipal Drain.
RECOMMENDATION DU RAPPORT
Que le Comité de l’agriculture et des questions rurales recommande au Conseil municipal d’approuver les règlements municipaux ci-joints concernant l’abandon de l’installation de drainage municipale Isaac Moore.
BACKGROUND
The Isaac Moore Municipal Drain was first constructed in 1969 under By-law 32-1969 of the former Township of Nepean. As explained in further detail below, this report recommends that part of the Isaac Moore Municipal Drain be abandoned as a Municipal Drain, in accordance with Section 84(5) of the Drainage Act, RSO, 1990, Chapter D.17.
DISCUSSION
The City of Ottawa has received a petition from landowners to abandon the upstream portion of the Isaac Moore Municipal Drain south of Brophy Road in Rideau Ward. The reason for this request is to increase the agricultural productivity of a parcel of land through the installation of a systematic sub-drainage system.
The Isaac Moore Municipal Drain first obtained status as a municipal drain in 1969, as a result of By-law 32-1969 of the former Township of Nepean, which was passed pursuant to the Drainage Act.
Notices of Abandonment of Drainage Works concerning the Isaac Moore Municipal Drain were sent by pre-paid mail to all affected landowners as required under Section 84(1) of the Drainage Act. No requests for a Report of an Engineer to examine the drainage works pursuant to Section 84(1) have been received. Upon Council approval of this recommendation, the City of Ottawa will have no further obligations with respect to the abandoned parts of Isaac Moore Municipal Drain drainage works.
RURAL
IMPLICATIONS
Most of the land in the watershed of the Isaac Moore Municipal Drain is used for agricultural purposes. Part of the Isaac Moore Municipal Drain is to be replaced with an enhanced agricultural sub-drainage system towards improving the agricultural productivity of the land.
CONSULTATION
Affected landowners were notified under Section 84(1) of the Drainage Act and no written requests for a Report of an Engineer on the abandonment have been received.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
There is no cost to the City for the abandonment of this Municipal Drain.
