to attend:
"Whereas the Town of Markham participated in a purchase
of the 40 acre property located at the northwest corner of Steeles Avenue and
Ninth Line conditional that the acquisition not compromise the ability to
complete future infrastructure projects including the extension of the Markham
By-pass;
And whereas the Town of Markham
has entered into an agreement with the purchasing partners and the Rouge Park
Alliance requiring the conveyance of lands needed for the Markham By-pass
extension on the subject property if required, subject to confirmation through
the Environmental Assessment process;
And whereas the entire Steeles
Avenue and Ninth Line property is located within the proposed study area for
the Environmental Assessment Study for the Markham By-pass extension;
And whereas the Environmental
Assessment process has commenced and is expected to identify proposed alignment
configurations for the Markham By-pass by the summer of 2004;
And whereas the Rouge Park
staff have requested and secured Provincial funding specific to the planting
and restoration of the Steeles Avenue and Ninth Line property, to be spent in
2003;
And whereas the Town of Markham
staff have identified to Rouge Park staff that planting and site restoration is
premature and that new planting on the Steeles Avenue and Ninth Line property
be considered after the EA process has been completed;
Let it therefore be resolved:
That the Town of Markham
supports the Region of York Environmental Assessment process for the Markham
By-pass and encourages the Region of York to fast-track the EA process to the
extent possible;
And that the Town of Markham
appreciates and acknowledges the Provincial support for restoration of Rouge
Park lands provided through the ELAP program;
That the Town of Markham
supports a planting and regeneration program for the Steeles Avenue and Ninth
Line property consistent with the goal and objectives of the Rouge Park, once
all the planned infrastructure requirements are met, including the protection
of land for conveyance to the Region of York or other public bodies consistent
with the agreement executed on December 11, 2002 signed by the Town, Region,
MNR, Rouge Park Alliance and TRCA;
That the Town of Markham recommend
to the Rouge Park Alliance and TRCA to hold in abeyance the planting and
restoration plans for the Steeles Avenue and Ninth Line site at least until the
completion of the preferred route alignment options for the Markham By-pass are
identified, to reduce the risk of potentially impacting and/or destroying new
plant material within the Rouge Park;
And that the Town of Markham
and Rouge Park Alliance request the Province (MNR) provide a one year extension
for the approved ELAP funding for the Steeles Avenue and Ninth Line site;
And that the Rouge Park
Alliance obtain support and/or approval from the other funding partners for the
planting and regeneration proposal on the Steeles Avenue and Ninth Line
property;
And that the Rouge Park
Alliance and TRCA acknowledge the recommendations of the Town of Markham and
provide assurance to the Town, that should they proceed with the replanting
program as proposed, compensation for any costs associated with the impact and
destruction of new vegetation planted in advance of confirmation and/or
conveyance of road infrastructure requirements as identified in the purchase
agreement will not be sought from the Town of Markham;
And that the Rouge Park
Alliance and TRCA advise the Town of their decision."
