The central portion of Rockwood Drive is now complete and therefore the turning circle
located at the south limit of Plan 40M-2068 and the turning circle and
access/maintenance easements located at the northerly limit of Plan 40M-2164 are no
longer required by the City and should be reconveyed to the abutting owners.
Financial Implications:
Legal Fees and Disbursements
Grant Morris Associates
Sustainability Implications: The road closing and abandonment of
access/maintenance easements are administrative processes that will ensure
compliance with legal and City conditions prior to the conveyance of the subject lands
to the adjacent owners. It does not directly impact the City's sustainability initiatives.
Background: The northerly portion of Rockwood Drive was constructed through
Plan of Subdivision 40M-2068 and the southerly portion was constructed through Plan
of Subdivision 40M-2164 leaving the central 160 metres (approximately) to be
constructed.
The City acquired the 160 metres of land necessary to complete the central portion of
the Rockwood Drive extension from the abutting landowners and pursuant to a
Development Agreement between Grant Morris Associates and the City, the central 160
metres has now been constructed satisfactory to the City.
The central portion of Rockwood Drive is now complete and therefore the turning circle
located at the south limit of Plan 40M-2068 and the turning circle and
access/maintenance easements located at the northerly limit of Plan 40M-2164 are no
longer required by the City and should be reconveyed to the abutting owners.
As the lands subject of both turning circles have been dedicated as public highway, it is
necessary to formally stop-up and close them prior to reconveying the lands to the
abutting owners. Attached is a draft by-law giving authority to formally stop-up and
close the lands subject of the turning circles and to abandon the existing easements in
favour of the City, which lands and interests will be reconveyed to the abutting owners.
