15 and 35 Trehorne Drive Encroachment Agreement - by Councillor Stephen Holyday, seconded by Councillor Vincent Crisanti

The Etobicoke York Committee of Adjustment approved the Consent Application on Condition on August 2, 2023, under file B0004/23EYK. Among the conditions is a requirement to convey land to the City: The owner shall convey to the City, at nominal cost, a 0.40 metre wide strip of land along the Royal York Road frontage of the property in order to satisfy the requirements of a 27 metre wide future right-of-way in fee simple, such lands to be free and clear of all physical and title encumbrances, and subject to a right-of-way for access in favour of the Grantor until such time as said lands have been dedicated as a public highway, all to the satisfaction of the Chief Engineer & Executive Director, Engineering and Construction Services and the City Solicitor. A manhole which provides access to the site stormwater connection has been found to be located on the edge of the site, within the 0.40 metre wide strip of land to be conveyed to the City as part of the conditions for consent. The manhole is considered a private encumbrance, and must be addressed in order to satisfy the condition. The purpose of this motion is to provide City Staff with the authority to enter an encroachment agreement for the manhole, an administrative process which requires approval from City Council. Compliance with the conditions of consent are time sensitive. Moreover, completion of the surplus and sale of lands for a high school site are of civic importance, and any delay can have material impact to the community and to the school boards.
