From: Richard Holborn
Director, Engineering Services
Subject: Declaration of Lands as Surplus, and Approval to Transfer Lands to the Regional

- File: A-1440
Recommendation:
1. That Council declare part of Lots 20 and 21 Concession 2, and part of the Road Allowance
between Lots 20 and 21, Concession 2, being Parts 2, 3 and 4, Plan 40R-29446 surplus to
the needs of the City for the purpose of transfer to the Regional Municipality of Durham for
nominal consideration;
That Council authorize the acquisition of Part 6, Plan 40R-29446 from the Regional

execute all relevant documentation necessary to effect the above; and

Executive Summary: A land exchange is required in order to have land ownership accurately
reflect the occupation and assets owned by the City of Pickering (Valley Farm Road allowance)
and the Region of Durham (Central Duffin Collector Metering Facility) as a result of the Southeast
Collector Trunk Sewer project.
Financial Implications: There are no direct financial implications arising from this Report. All
costs for reference plans and legal transfers are being borne by the Region of York and/or the
Region of Durham as co -proponents for the Southeast Collector Trunk Sewer project. However,
the City will now be able to collect property taxes on the land including the metering facility.
Discussion: The York Durham Sewage System (YDSS) conveys flows from York
Region through the City of Pickering to the Duffin Creek Water Pollution Control Plant at the
bottom of Squires Beach Road, in the City of Pickering. The YDSS also conveys sewage from

urban areas of the City of Pickering and the Town of Ajax, and as such, the YDSS and the Duffin
Creek Water Pollution Control Plant are co -owned by York and Durham.
The new Southeast Collector Trunk Sewer project was recently constructed and commissioned by
York and Durham as co -proponents. This new trunk sanitary sewer resulted in various facilities
being constructed in Pickering, including a metering facility at the northwest corner of Valley Farm
Road and Finch Avenue, on land owned by the City of Pickering, with an understanding that the
land would be exchanged with land owned by the Region of Durham at the northeast comer. The
metering facility determines sewage flows into the YDSS from Durham Region so that costs for
operation and maintenance of the YDSS can be determined based on utilization.
Now that the metering facility and the intersection reconstruction work is complete, where the new
Southeast Collector Truck Sewer was connected to the existing YDSS, and land requirements are
known, it is appropriate to transfer land between the City of Pickering and the Region of Durham.
A reference plan, being 40R-29446 was registered identifying the lands to be declared as surplus
and exchanged. The City will be transferring Parts 2, 3 and 4, Plan 40R-29446 with a total area of
583.6m2 to the Region of Durham, and the Region of Durham will be transferring Part 6, Phan
40R-29446 with a total area of 1013.4m2 to the City of Pickering, as shown on the location map
attached (Attachment No. 1) Once the lands have been declared surplus, City staff will take the
requisite steps needed to complete the transfers. The Region of Durham has completed their
necessary approval process through Report # 2018 -COW -12 which was approved by Regional
Council on February 14, 2018
