On the agenda

As the city filed it

The purpose of this report is to seek authority from City Council ("Council") to commence expropriation proceedings to acquire a fee simple interest in the portion of the property municipally known as 350 Progress Avenue (the "Property"), for the purpose of providing a primary access route and site services via Schick Court to the new Toronto Paramedic Services multi-function station to be located at 330 Progress Avenue in Scarborough.

This is the first stage of the expropriation process. After application for approval to expropriate the Property is authorized by Council, as the Approving Authority under the Expropriations Act (the "Act"), staff will serve and publish a Notice of Application for Approval to Expropriate on each registered owner of the Property. Owners, as defined in the Act, will have 30 days to request an inquiry into whether the City's proposed taking is fair, sound and reasonably necessary. If no inquiry is requested, Council may approve the expropriation through a subsequent Stage 2 Report. At that time, staff will report to Council with further details on the anticipated costs, based on appraisals. Following the Stage 2 Report, an Expropriation Plan will be registered and Notices of Expropriation will be served on the appropriate parties. Statutory offers for compensation must be served before the City can take possession of the expropriated Property.
