The Storybrook Subdivision is a 98 ha development parcel approved for 1300 units, a school and park block and a channel corridor design located in Fergus, Ontario. Burnside was involved throughout all stages of this project from due diligence, through the secondary and draft planning, including a Class Environmental Assessment for two collector roads as well as completing the Detailed Design and Construction Administration of the Phase 1 of 3 of the subdivision design.
Detailed Design and Construction Administration services included:
- Subdivision design for 98 ha, 1300 lots over 3 phases, including 2 Stormwater Management Ponds with an estimated servicing and earthworks construction value of $48,500,000
- Channel Corridor Design for 900 m of channel floodplain within a 67 m wide corridor, intended to reconnect the regional floodline of the channel with the existing low flow component
- Channel culvert crossing
- Sewage Pump Station, valued at $2,300,000 to service future and external development areas
Burnside provided specialty design and permitting expertise in relation to:
- Conservation Authority permitting for channel, stormwater management (SWM) ponds and natural corridor crossings
- Low Impact Development (LID) measures ensured post development infiltration matches pre-development levels for the groundwater recharge area
- Design of 3rd pipe foundation drain collection and roof drain collection systems to address environmental and water balance requirements
