Appeals regarding municipal drain relocation and allowances largely dismissed; one landowner's allowance increased.
Several landowners appealed the engineer's report regarding the repair and improvement of the Nantais Drain in the Town of LaSalle.
The appellants argued that the drain should be relocated entirely off their properties or enclosed, and challenged the allowances provided for land taken and working space.
The Tribunal dismissed the appeals regarding the drain's location and enclosure, finding the proposed design appropriate and beneficial to the landowners at no cost to them.
The Tribunal confirmed most allowances but increased the allowance for one appellant whose property development might be affected by the increased setback requirements.
