4. STAFF PRESENTATION
A. Report DS-53/22 by Steve Adams, Manager of Public Works / Drainage Superintendent
re Hampton Drain Improvements 2nd Court of Revision
S. Adams presented report DS-53/22 and Engineer John Spriet gave an overview of the
amended assessment.
5. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION
Bob Gregson and Scott Gregson submitted written appeals. Bob Gregson spoke on behalf of
Scott Gregson as outlined in Scott's correspondence he was permitted to do so, as well as his
own. Craig Gregson was present and requested to speak as he is now a property owner
included on the assessed properties. The Court allowed Craig Gregson to speak. All appellants
believe they should not be assessed on the Hampton Drain at all as they believe the water does
not flow the way the engineer has noted. Bob Gregson noted a previous study from 1969 that
states the water flows the opposite way. The Court members asked clarifying questions to both
Mr. Adams and Mr. Spriet. Discussions arose of potential solutions to accommodate the
Gregson's. An option of constructing a berm along the Jackson Line road allowance on the north
side of Part Lots 9 and 10, subject to a mutual agreement with the Municipality was agreeable to
both the Court and the Gregson's. Engineer John Spriet noted this could be a viable option but
stressed that the Hampton Drain would provide a higher level of service.
