relating to Item 12.1.14, being Report ENG2024-037
Cosimo Costas, SCS Consulting Group Inc.

Cosimo Costas, of SCS Consulting, spoke to Report ENG2024-037, being Proposed Driveway Culverts for the King's Bay Subdivision located at 27 Stub Road. He asked Council to accept the developer's proposal for continuous culverts where driveways are paired. He outlined that the continuous culvert proposal is intended to avoid standing water in ditches and they believe that the continuous culverts would not pose any maintenance concerns. He cited a consultation with a culvert maintenance company that indicated that they do not differentiate between separate or continuous culverts for maintenance. He noted that they believe that the installation of a vertical culvert clean-out could address the maintenance concerns that have been raised. He also noted that separated culverts would require a design amendment that would add a retaining wall to each driveway due to insignificant culvert clearance which will increase costs.
