Executive Summary: In 1987, Blocks 84, 90, 94 and 95, Plan 40M-1515 were
conveyed to the City through the registration of Plan 40M-1515.
It was intended at that time that Block 84 would be used to extend Richardson Street
northerly providing road frontage to the lands to the east. Blocks 90, 94 and 95 are
reserves that were to remain in place until the adjacent lands to the east were
developed.' The original layout contemplated by Plan 40M-1515 is shown in
Attachment 1.

In 2005, Council passed Resolution #202/07 approving a draft plan of subdivision (SP-
2005-03) submitted by Altridge Properties Inc. ("Altridge") wherein the lotting and road
pattern differed from what was intended in 1987 when Plan 40M-1515 was originally
registered. The revised approved layout is shown in Attachment 2.
In order for Altridge to be able to fulfill the conditions of the 2005 approved draft plan, it
must acquire the City's Lands and merge them with its existing landholdings to provide
for the development of 10 residential lots, an internal cul-de-sac road and walkway.
Financial Implications: The net revenue to the City from the sale of the City's Lands
is $187,950.00. All related legal and closing costs will be the responsibility of Altridge.
Discussion: In 1987, Blocks 84, 90, 94 and 95, Plan 40M-1515 were
conveyed to the City through the registration of Plan 40M-1515.
It was intended at that time that Block 84 would be used to extend Richardson Street
northerly, providing road frontage to the lands to the east. Blocks 90, 94 and 95 were
acquired by the City as reserves that were to remain in place until the adjacent lands to
the east were developed.
In 2005, Altridge, the adjacent owner of the lands to the east of Block 84, submitted a
draft plan of subdivision wherein the lotting and road pattern differed from what was
originally intended for the area in 1987 when Plan 40M-1515 was registered.
The 2005 draft plan of subdivision provided for the coordinated development of the
City's Lands with Altridge's lands for the development of 10 lots fronting onto a cul-de-
sac running parallel with Altona Road and, a walkway connection to Richardson Street
and St. Monica's Catholic School.
On October 15, 2007, Council passed Resolution #202/07,
(1) approving draft plan of subdivision SP-2005-03; and
(2) requiring the Director, Planning & Development to establish conditions of draft
approval to include the following requirements:
•
(a) that satisfactory arrangements be made for the incorporation of the City's
Lands into draft plan of subdivision SP-2005-03; and
(b) that the CAO's office review the disposal of the City's Lands to Altridge and
report back to Council with the terms and conditions of the disposal.
In keeping with,
CORP0227-07/01 revised

LEG 07-15 July 6, 2015
Subject: Pickering Sale to Altridge Properties Inc. Page 3
(1) Resolution #202/07, •
the conditions of draft plan approval for SP-2005-03 include the requirement for
Altridge to acquire and merge the City's Lands into their draft plan;
and
•
(2) the City's Acquisition and Disposal of Land Policy,
Altridge has provided an appraisal satisfactory to the Chief Administrative Officer
and the Director, Corporate Services & City Solicitor. The value of the City's
Lands has been appraised at $172,000.00, however, the Director, Corporate
Services & City Solicitor disputed a certain reduction in land value in the appraisal
and negotiated an increase in the price to $187,950.00. •
As the City's Lands were never dedicated as public highway, there is no requirement to
formally stop-up and close them or to give public notice to that effect. The City's
Acquisition and Disposal of Land Policy does, however, require that the City give notice
when lands are declared surplus for the purpose of sale.
Accordingly, once the Resolution has been passed authorizing the sale of the City's
Lands, notice will be published, after which staff will proceed with the sale of the City's
Lands to Altridge for incorporation into its plan of subdivision, subject to any required
easements.
