SUBJECT: |
Exchange Involving

(Mattamy Homes) East of 9th Line,

RECOMMENDATION:
That the widened sections of Chippenham Lane (“transformer blocks”) as described in Schedule
“A” be declared surplus as required by By-law 178-96, and that notice of the
disposition of described lands be placed
on the agenda for the Council meeting of May 24th , 2005;
And
that a by-law be enacted on the Council meeting dated June 14th,
2005 to stop up and close the transformer blocks as described in Schedule “A”;
And
that approval be granted to the Manager of Real
Property to exchange the lands described in Schedule “A” with Wykland Estates Inc. for a nominal fee;
And the Mayor and Clerk be authorized to
execute all related documents necessary to give effect to this recommendation
in a form satisfactory to the Town Solicitor for the exchange of lands with Wykland Estates Inc. as described in Schedule “A”;
And that a by-law be
enacted to dedicate the
new transformer blocks along
AND FURTHER THAT Wykland
Estates Inc. compensate the term for all municipal processing costs incurred to
implement the above.
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this report is to deal with a request by Mattamy Homes to re-locate three hydro transformers in
their subdivision in the Cornell community. This relocation will require the
exchange of blocks of land within the public right-of-way currently owned by
the Town for new blocks of land where these transformers are to be relocated
to.
OPTIONS/DISCUSSION:
In the Cornell community, the underground hydro lines serving the homes are
located in the rear lanes. The required hydro transformers are located in
widened sections of the lane right-of-way known as “transformer blocks.” When
the hydro service was installed in the Wykland
Estates (Mattamy Homes) subdivision in Cornell (Plan
65M-3767), three transformers were inadvertently installed by Mattamy in locations where the lane had been widened to
accommodate the transformer without advising the prospective purchases. To
address this problem, Mattamy Homes has requested the
Town to incorporate four new “transformer blocks” into the rights-of-way of the
adjoining lanes, and to convey the five unused “transformer blocks” back to Mattamy to be incorporated into the adjoining residential
lots. Staff from the Engineering and Legal Departments have reviewed Mattamy’s request and have no objection subject to recovery
of all costs incurred by the Town to undertake these transfers.
FINANCIAL
CONSIDERATIONS:
Mattamy has agreed to pay the Town all municipal processing costs incurred to affect
this change.
BUSINESS UNITS
CONSULTED AND AFFECTED:
The Legal Department has reviewed this report and their requirements
have been incorporated in this report.
