Appeal of municipal drain engineer's report dismissed; appellant's alternative proposal lacked sufficient investigation.
The appellant appealed the engineer's report for the Norman Heights Municipal Drain, arguing that the proposed drainage works should be modified, the allowances were insufficient, and the assessments were improper.
The appellant proposed a low-cost alternative using an existing tile drainage system.
The Ontario Drainage Tribunal dismissed the appeals, finding that the appellant's alternative lacked sufficient investigation into the outlet's suitability, and that the engineer's allowances and assessments were reasonable and unbiased.
Costs of $2,000 were awarded to the respondent municipality.
