water on neighbouring property and the City infrastructure.

engineer to assess the drainage plan and provide calculations based on 1 in 5 year
storms and 1 in 100 year storms.
Commissioner Hamilton commented the goal of the bylaw is to protect the current and
future property owners in the development and safeguard the City's infrastructure. The
standard is a consistent standard also in place in Moncton, Fredericton, Halifax, and
other municipalities. It is not a gold standard.

1'arrete concernant le drainage de 2016 et le Manuel relatif aux criteres de conception
des reseaux pluviaux de 2008 de la Ville en ce qui concerne la demande. Ces reglements
empechent les amenagements ayant des repercussions negatives causees par 1'eau sur
les terrains avoisinants et l'infrastructure de la Ville.
En reponse a une question, la commissaire adjointe Poffenroth repond que si 1'eau est
dirigee vers un terrain adjacent, comme un ravin, une servitude de drainage est
necessaire. La Ville souhaite consulter le plan de drainage.
Nick Landry, ingenieur municipal du service d'infrastructure, indique que tous les
lotissements doivent respecter 1'arrete concernant le drainage et le Manuel relatif aux
criteres de conception des reseaux pluviaux; la propriete du promoteur est soumise a
ces exigences. En vertu de ces exigences, un ingenieur doit evaluer le plan de drainage
et fournir les calculs d'apres une capacite de 1 au cours d'un cycle de cinq ans et une
capacite de 1 au cours d'un cycle de 100 ans en ce qui a trait aux orages.
Le commissaire Hamilton indique que 1'arrete vise a proteger les proprietaires actuels
et futurs du terrain au cours de I'amenagement, de meme que l'infrastructure de la
Ville. II s'agit d'une norme de reference qui est egalement appliquee a Moncton,
Fredericton, Halifax et dans d'autres municipalites. II ne s'agit pas d'une norme OR.
