The site may be serviced by the 600mm Vitrified Clay sanitary sewer, 300mm PVC sanitary sewer, and the 250mm Concrete Pipe storm sewer located in the Wyandotte Street East Right of Way. A sampling manhole is required for any new sanitary private drain connection. Storm detention calculations, along with lot grading and site servicing plans are required. Post development storm water runoff is required to be restricted to pre development flows. A servicing study is required for this development to confirm capacity exists in the proposed sewer outlets from this site. The current overall site outlets to the 450mm Concrete storm sewer located on Menard Street, with storm detention being provided by the dry pond on site. The proposed civil drawings depict a new property line, if the intent is to sever a reciprocal agreement for access & services will be required.

Wyandotte Street East is classified as a Class 2 Arterial Road requiring a right-of-way of 28 meters (Schedule X). The current Right-of-Way is 27.5m therefore a 0.5m conveyance is required.
