In order to do so, the Parks, Forestry and Recreation's component of the development charges, paid upon issuance of building permit, would be required to be directed to the above base park improvements. There is currently no Council Authority to direct the Parks and Recreation component of the development charges to the above base park improvements. This authority is recommended by way of this Motion. Parks, Forestry and Recreation is agreeable to have the property owner design and build out the park, in consultation with Parks, Forestry and Recreation. The new park will be designed in consultation with the local community and the Ward Councillor. This matter is deemed urgent as the Section 37 Agreement must be executed prior to the issuance of the final Order by the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal.
