EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Not applicable
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS:
Provision within future Community
Services Commission budgets will be required to cover cost of maintenance and
operations of the additional municipal infrastructure.
This report recommends the
Acceptance for Maintenance of certain residential plans of subdivision,
completed in accordance with the terms and conditions of the subdivision
agreements, and recommends the Town assume responsibility for the operation and
maintenance of the municipal infrastructure within these plans. The report also
recommends the implementation of amendments to traffic control by-laws that
include speed, stop and parking control on streets within the subdivisions.
The construction of
municipal services and infrastructure within the plans of subdivision have been
completed in accordance with the terms and conditions of the subdivision
agreements and to the satisfaction of the Development Services Commission in
consultation with other internal commenting departments. In accordance with the conditions of the
subdivision agreements, it is now appropriate that the Town assume, from the
Developer, the responsibility for the maintenance and operation of the
municipal services and transportation infrastructure within these plans. Upon
placing the subdivisions on “Acceptance for Maintenance”, the Developers will
be required to guarantee the municipal infrastructure for a further period of
time (two years) against any deficiencies or failures, after which each
subdivision may be assumed by the Town.
Construction of public works completed
The
construction of the public works for each subdivision has been completed to the
Town’s satisfaction and in accordance with the subdivision agreement. All
documentation, including the Consulting Engineer’s Certificate confirming the
completion of all engineering services to Town standards and the overall grading
plan, Owner’s Statutory Declaration regarding payments with respect to the
installation of the
under
ground and above ground services, and Land Surveyor Certificate confirming the
re-establishment of all survey monuments and bench marks, has been received.
Additional infrastructure inventory to be
maintained
Within
the subdivisions, there exists 8.70 kilometers of roads, 0.49 kilometers of
lanes, 11.1 kilometers of sidewalk, 9.03 kilometers of sanitary sewers, 10.61
kilometers of storm sewers, 10.75 kilometers of water main, 1106 street trees, 211
street lights and 2.51 hectares of parkland which will require maintenance by
the Community Services Commission and be budgeted for in future budgets.
Amendments to speed, stop and no parking
control by-laws
Upon
the ‘Acceptance for Maintenance’ of the roads, it is important to ensure that
all applicable traffic control bylaws are adopted to ensure safe and efficient
traffic flow. The recommended amendments
to by-laws 105-71, 106-71 and 2005-188 are attached to this report for
adoption.
Public highway bylaw to be passed
A by-law
should be enacted by Council to establish each street within the residential
subdivision as a public highway of the Town of Markham.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS:
The municipal services and infrastructure have been designed
and constructed in accordance with the Town’s design criteria and standards
including all applicable environmental approvals and permits.
ACCESSIBILITY CONSIDERATIONS:
The subdivisions have been
constructed in accordance with the Town approved designs, design criteria and
standards including the installation of sidewalks, walkways and curb cuts at
all road crossings to provide pedestrian access and mobility.
ENGAGE 21ST CONSIDERATIONS:
Proper construction and
maintenance of municipal infrastructure is being achieved.
BUSINESS UNITS CONSULTED AND AFFECTED:
The Community Services Commission
is to assume maintenance of the infrastructure within these plans. The Legal
Department is to prepare a by-law to be enacted by Council to establish each of
the roads within these plans as public highways of the Town of Markham. The Mayor and Clerk are to execute the
necessary releases from the terms of
the Subdivision Agreements subject
to confirmation from the Director of Engineering
that the final two-year guarantee periods have been completed.
