Executive Summary: As proposed in the Dunbarton Neighbourhood Guidelines,
Goldenridge Road is an internal development road that will eventually connect Fairport
Road and Dunbarton Road.
Currently, the northerly portion of Goldenridge Road runs through Marshall Homes Plan
of Subdivision 40M-2155 and the southerly portion, which was completed by the City in
2004, extends approximately 50 metres north of Dunbarton Road, leaving the middle
120 metres (approx.) to be constructed.
It is in the interest of the City to have Goldenridge Road extended south to join with
Rushton Road. This extension will provide a looped road network which will provide
safer traffic flow and improved pedestrian / service access. Without the connection,
Rushton Road and Goldenridge Road will remain as dead-end streets and the infill
initiative in this area will be thwarted.
Grant Morris, being one of the landowners of the lots lying between the northerly and
southerly constructed portions of Goldenridge Road, has initiated contact with, and
received concurrence from, other adjacent landowners to convey a portion of their lands
to the City for the purpose of constructing an additional section of Goldenridge Road,
thereby creating frontage for future development.
Concurrence has also been received from the owners of Lots 48, 49, 50 and 51, to pay
their pro-rated share towards the cost of the construction of this extension of
Goldenridge Road. However, the owners of Lot 118 (Jain) are unable to pay their
pro-rated share at this time. In order for this road to be constructed at this time in
conjunction with the development of Plan SP-2004-04, it is being requested that the
City cover the pro-rated share of the road construction costs attributable to Jain, subject
to a repayment arrangement.
The City would require that all affected landowners enter into appropriate agreements
with the City to deal with the conveyance and cost-sharing matters of this portion of
road, and Grant Morris has agreed to enter into the appropriate Development
Agreement for the construction of the road.
This report is being expedited directly to Council as it is only economically feasible for
this work to be completed in conjunction with the servicing and road construction of the
Louisville Homes site which is presently underway.
The extension of Goldenridge Road as proposed in this report will serve to facilitate
appropriate and anticipated infill development and will provide an improved looped road
network through connection with Rushton Road. The proposed development and
recoverable City expenditure are recommended for approval.

Financial Implications: All of the owners lying adjacent to the proposed extension of
Goldenridge Road (the benefiting owners) have, or will, (except for Jain) pay their
pro-rated share to the City for the installation of services and the construction of this
extension of Goldenridge Road.
The City's expenditure to cover the construction costs fronting Lot 118 (Jain) in the
amount of $28,000.00 will be charged to Capital Account 3264.2613.6181 which was
included in the 2005 budget for unanticipated construction projects related to
development. To secure the City's financial position, an agreement between the City
and Jain for reimbursement of these funds within a three-year time period, at a rate of
6% per annum, will be registered on title.
Background: As proposed in the Dunbarton Neighbourhood Guidelines,
Goldenridge Road is an internal development road that will eventually connect Fairport
Road and Dunbarton Road.
Currently, the northerly portion of Goldenridge Road runs through Marshall Homes Plan
of Subdivision 40M-2155 and the southerly portion, which was completed by the City in
2004, extends approximately 50 metres north of Dunbarton Road, leaving the middle
120 metres (approx.) to be constructed.
The City has recently acquired parts of Lots 52 and 53 through Land Division
Applications 202/03 (Ravey) and 50/05 (Jones) for road purposes, with both parties
paying their pro-rated share of the installation of underground services and construction
of Goldenridge Road through those applications.
Grant Morris, Linnane, Jones, Jain, Laine and Gleed are all landowners of lots lying
between the remaining northerly and southerly constructed portions of Goldenridge
Road. Each of these landowners require the construction of this extension and the
installation of services in order to facilitate proper road frontage to the severed portions
of their lots.
Grant Morris initiated contact with, and received concurrence from Linnane (Lot 51) to
enter into an agreement with the City for the conveyance of the lands required to extend
Goldenridge Road across their lot and to pay their pro-rated share (as benefiting
owners) for the construction costs. Laine and Gleed being the landowners of Lots 46
and 47, are not prepared to convey land or contribute to the City at this time.

The landowners of Lot 118 (Jain) have also agreed to enter into an agreement
respecting the conveyance of a portion of their lands to the City for road purposes, but
are unable to pay their portion of the pro-rated share to construct the road and install
underground services at this time. Jain has requested that Council consider an
expenditure of $28,000.00 to cover the pro-rated share of road construction costs in
front of their property, on the condition that they enter into an agreement with the City
for the reimbursement of these funds within a three-year time period, at a rate of 6%
interest per annum, or through a future land severance. These funds would be
expended from Capital Account 3264.2613.6181.
The City would also require the conveyance of a reserve fronting the Jain property. The
agreement would be registered on title to the Jain property thereby binding any future
owner to the obligations of the agreement, should the property be sold prior to
repayment.
Grant Morris has agreed to enter into the appropriate Development Agreement with the
City to:
(a) convey a portion of his lands to extend Goldenridge Road across his lots;
(b) pay his pro-rated share (as a benefiting owner) for the construction and installation
of services costs;
(c)
construct the extension of Goldenridge Road from the south limit of Lot 48 to
connect with the existing portion of Goldenridge Road running through Plan
40M-2155; and
(d) provide for the appropriate insurance and documentation that will be required by
that Development Agreement.
All of the contributing owners, along with Louisville Homes Ltd. have, or will, pay their
pro-rated share to the City for the installation of services and the construction of this
extension of Goldenridge Road. These funds will be held by the City and released to
Grant Morris as per the conditions set out in the Development Agreement during the
construction of this extension of Goldenridge Road.
The acquisition of the above-mentioned lands and construction of this extension of
Goldenridge Road will also connect Rushton Road (presently being constructed
pursuant to Plan of Subdivision SP-2004-04 - Louisville Homes) thereby providing two
access points from Fairport Road. It is in the interest of the City to have Goldenridge
Road extended south to join with Rushton Road. This extension will provide a looped
road network which will provide safer traffic flow and improved pedestrian / service
access. Without the connection, Rushton Road and Goldenridge Road will remain as
dead-end streets and the infill initiative in this area will be thwarted.
