ANNUAL ROAD TOUR M D OF KNEEHILL #48 OCTOBER 24th, 1994 4 Alan Hazel Project - South of 25, 26, 27, 28 & 29 in 32 -25 -4 5 miles Reviewed the project. The road has lots of gravel on it now and it has been graded Not in really bad shape right now It should be a six mile project plus the west intersection There is alot of grass on the sides of the road. 5. Walter Landymore - Request for another road approach South East of 27- 32 -26 -4 Unoccupied quarter of land Mr Landymore has asked the M D to provide him with another approach to allow better access for tractor trailer units There is a problem with sight distance. The existing approach is very narrow and there are power poles which might be in the way if the existing approach was to be widened Cost for another approach would be about $700 00 and it would require at least 3 pieces of culvert Mr Landymore would like it done before winter. It was recommended the existing approach be widened with the traxscavator and the culvert extended The landowner is to let us know if he still wishes to have a second approach after the existing approach is widened 6. The condition of SR 805 was discussed. � C1`�1. 9r0-1 e-= �,ie S � '\'4 7 The speed zone ahead sign at the south end of Wimborne See was discussed Mr Vickery requested a 50 KM ahead sign be installed further south of the hamlet Discussion regarding rumble strips. Also a suggestion that stop signs be erected in the hamlet. 8 Reviewed the area brushed out for the Wimborne Cemetery Brush will have to be hauled away as cannot burn that close to the hamlet 9 Wimborne Community Association expansion area was looked at Mr Vickery noted the community association mentioned the idea of installing a trailer dumping station there It was suggested if this was to be done it should be put constructed so it could be hooked into the hamlet sewer system No firm recommendation regarding this request was made. 10. Looked at buildings on Lots 9 to 12 former Gerald Dube property There are alot of unlicensed vehicles sitting on the land. Council now has clear title to the property and should make some decisions regarding the buildings on the property 11. The road south of Wimborne going west was looked at, The road was graded using the Sandvick blades and it looked quite good 12 The Martin /Smith Road - South of 1- 34 -26 -4 and West of 18, 19, 30 and 31 in 33 -25 -4 was reviewed Plan is to regarde to a type 3 standard road on the 199' road program. There is a snow problem because of the higi banks and there is poor visability. North 2 miles are the worst and there are more people living on that stretch of the road. It is an old elevating grade. 13. The road west of 4, 9, 16 & 21 in 34 -25 -4 was review( N 0 ANNUAL ROAD TOUR M D OF RNEEHILL #48 OCTOBER 24th, 1994 Gravel section of the road was done with Sandvick blades. First portion looks pretty good, dirt portion is in bad shape 14. Reviewed the Busby bridge West NW 21- 34 -25 -4 Also the road approaches on this stretch of road which do not meet sight distance requirements 15 Crossroads Hall West road 5 miles. Used Sandvick blades Does not look too bad, but does seem to need gravel. Grader has cut crown of the road down and this has improved the road 16 Walter Tetz Road West of 14 & 23 in 34 -25 was reviewed. Grass growing in on the road Quite narrow and needs gravel. 17 Betty Hoppins North Road West of 18 & 19 in 34 -24 -4 was reviewed Dirt road approved to have some work done on low spots and also to cut all a couple of knolls. Would like it done this fall Need agreements from Hoppins and Bill Green Should burn grass off and create a little ditch so water can get away Some large rocks to be removed Would require a cat, grader and buggy to do the work May also need a culvert in the low area. TO S' e -c3 ;,) e 18 Road past Hastie Feed Lot - West of 30 & 31 in 33 -24 was reviewed. It was done with Sandvick blades. Needs V a little gravel but otherwise looks okay There are two bad spots which need gravel on the hill near the feed lot 19 Arthurville Community Hall - east west road 4 miles This road was recommended to be put on the road program by the road committee rather than improving a north south road in that area There are trees on the south side which likely could not be removed Perhaps widen the road on the north side or build it up without taking out the trees Road is low, no ditches and lots of heavy traffic use the road. Snow is a big problem on this road Suggest to have road counts done on all roads which are to be rebuilt and council should look at a number of factors before making decisions on which roads should be rebuilt 20. Road West of 35- 33 -24 -4 - Reschke Road. M D did some brushing on this road before Tenant - Wayne Christensen is asking for M D to pick the rocks and roots again Mr. McCook advised the land owner was there when the work was completed and accepted the condition of the land 21 Allan Winther - Drainage Problems There is a small slough on the north side of the road in the S W 14 The idea of lowering the ditch on the south side of the road - adjacent to John Johnson land - should not be done as there would be a meter cut involved It appears the area is a natural drainage area and the ditch which the M D cleaned out on Mr Winther's land is part of the natural drainage. It was agreed this matter be discussed tomorrow at council. Councillor Lowen was picked up in Huxley at 12 00 Noon Lunch in Elnora and tour resumed at 1 05 P M 22 The Buffalo Jump Road and Streets in Huxley were scheduled for re- chipping in 1995, but this work may v � I e c� �t?x, t ko w v PY N M ANNUAL ROAD TOUR M D OF KNEEHILL #48 OCTOBER 24th, 1994 not be done until 1996. 23 The slough problem on R Kennedy's land - N E 22- 34 -14-4 was reviewed Mr Orville Anderson meet with council on site He felt the slough got bigger after the B J road was rebuilt He noted he has rented the land for 17 years and this is the first year the area was too wet to cultivate He would like to see a culvert installed in the road to drain the water across the road and into a slough area to the north of this slough It was noted there are several slough areas on this land. Mr McCook noted he would review the road profiles for the Buffalo Jump Road project and discuss the matter with council tomorrow. 24 The Riep /Painter road was reviewed Mr Wagstaff noted this is a high traffic road, a main feeder road into Trochu and his top priority 25 The request from John Tieken for a road to access property he has just purchased - S W 15- 34 -22 -4 was discussed Mr Tieken lives in Calgary and there is no development on the land at this time There is access to the north west corner of the quarter from an existing M D road The road along the west boundary of the quarter is not developed but is used by an oil company to gain access to a well site on the land The land is very hilly and overlooks the Red Deer River Valley Likely no need for road at this time as there is no development there 26 It was noted two trailers have been moved on to the N.W. 15- 34 -22 -4 and likely no permits were obtained. Development Officer should look into this matter 27 Ken Knievel - request for screenings on M D road 1 1/2 miles - South of 34 - 33 -23 -4 and West of N W 27 33 -23 -4. Recommend nothing be done until the road can be properly rebuilt 28 Looked at Knievel Bridge south of 2- 33 -23 -4 Perhaps the road could be improved when the bridge is repaired by Bridge Branch 29 Bridge on SR 585 was looked at Pavement leading on to the bridge is quite rough Recommend Bridge Inspector look at it and see if it can be levelled out somewhat. 30 Blade Grade - Haller Road West of 12- 33 -23 -4 Recommend the road be done It was previously approved 31 Inspected SR 585 going down the hill to the Red Deer River Sluffing on edges corrected by putting on gravel There is still a large hole near the bottom of the hill Not sure it can be filled. 32. Drove up the Old Tolman Hill Road Some brushing done on it.

Recommend this project be done. 39 F. Penner Road - South of 18- 32 -23 -4 - There would be a major cost if this project was done because of the heavy �J power line along the road. M.D. would be charged for pole resets and shut down of power line during times when poles are resets. Discussed the idea of ditch cleaning as opposed to a total regrade Road drifts in in winter time but is good in summer time. Discussion re: purchase of a snow blower. Recommend look into costs for a snow blower to look after these types of roads rather than going to expense of rebuilding same. 40 Inspected SR 583 - Road construction coming along. Portion of the road which is completed looks good. One mile being worked on now is still wet Agreed date to complete the road tour would be decided tomorrow at council meeting Time 4.30 P.M. s .
