(e)
authorize the Mayor and Clerk to execute all documentation necessary to effect
the conveyances and any required easements.
Executive Summary: In 2001, the City undertook a process to review all
municipally-owned properties to determine which properties were no longer required
for municipal purposes.
It has been determined that the subject property known legally as Blocks 7, 8 and 9,
Plan 40M-1599 is no longer required by the City and may be disposed of.
Financial Implications: The minimum net proceeds to the City from the sale of this
property will be determined following the submission of offers.
Advertising, appraisal, survey costs and legal fees/disbursements are approximately
$3,000.00.
Background: The subject property was conveyed to the City for future road
purposes as a condition of draft plan approval 18T-86037 (now Plan 40M-1599) in
1989.
The original draft plan of subdivision for Glen Eden Court was designed to
accommodate a future road connection to the properties that front onto Kingston Road
east of Glen Eden Court. It has since been determined that the road connection is no
longer needed (as access to those properties may be obtained directly from
Kingston Road) and the subject property known legally as Blocks 7, 8 and 9, Plan
40M-1599 may be disposed of.
The property currently has a lot frontage of 20.0 metres and an "SO-SA" zoning as in
By-Law 3036, as amended by By-Law 2896/88. The current zoning and frontage
permits the construction of a pair of semi-detached units, however By-law 2896/88
stipulates that no more than 34 dwelling units shall be permitted on the street.
Accordingly, in order to permit any development on the land proposed for sale, a City-
initiated minor variance to amend the maximum dwelling unit provision necessary to
allow for a development of 36 units on the street.
The sale of the subject property will be subject to the following conditions:
Block 7:
(a)
that a pair of semi-detached dwelling units be constructed on the property; and

(b)
that a 2.5 metre strip of land be severed from the northerly and southerly limits
of Block 7 (Parts 2 and 3) and conveyed to the adjacent owners. As the
adjoining lots were anticipated to be flankage lots, the additional side yard will
mitigate the impact of the new dwellings on the existing landowners.
Blocks 8 and 9
Blocks 8 and 9 were conveyed to the City as corner roundings which are no longer
required. Block 8 will be conveyed by the City to the northerly owner and Block 9 will
be conveyed by the City to the easterly owner, for nominal consideration.
Further, prior to obtaining a building permit for the subject lands, the purchaser would
be required to:
(i)
(ii)
install full municipal services;
provide for utility and drainage easements if necessary;
(iii) provide an architectural design statement to ensure compatibility with the
existing streetscape;
(iv)
(v)
pay appropriate development charges and other fees as required; and
replace a portion of the fence along the rear property line (1.8 metre wood
privacy) on top of the retaining wall, both to comply with the Subdivision
Agreement and for safety.
Meetings have been held with the Glen Eden Court residents and notwithstanding
general concerns respecting on-street parking and the removal of what is currently
being used as an open space playground, there was no specific objection to staff's
recommendations for the development of this Block. The meeting was attended by
Ward 2 Regional and City Councillors.
A request has been made of staff by the two owners whose properties lie directly
adjacent to the subject property that they be given a first right of refusal to purchase
the property. The Solicitor for the City is in support of this request and staff will provide
an opportunity to these individuals upon the conclusion of the minor variance process.
In the event they choose not to exercise their right or, in the event offers submitted by
them are refused, staff will continue with the sale process via the City's Public Tender
process, and if not successful by that method, on the open market.
Once the Resolution has been passed to declare the lands surplus to the City, the
appropriate notice will be published and the provisions of the Municipal Act and Sale of
Surplus land Policy compiled with.
