Should City Council adopt the recommendations in this report, staff will serve and publish the Notices of Application for Approval to Expropriate in accordance with the Expropriations Act (the "Act"). Owners will have 30 days to request a hearing into whether the City's proposed taking is fair, sound and reasonably necessary. Staff will report back to City Council with a Stage 2 report, providing details on property values and other costs, and if a hearing is requested, the report of the Ontario Land Tribunal. The proposed expropriation would only be affected after adoption by City Council (as approving authority) of the Stage 2 report, and by registration of an expropriation plan, which would then be followed by the service of further notices as required by the Act. Before the City could take possession of the expropriated property, offers of compensation based on appraisal reports must be served on each Registered Owner as defined in the Act.
