REPORT TO
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
Report Number: PD 25-06
Date: May 8,2006
From:
Neil Carroll
Director, Planning & Development
Subject:
Signing authority for documentation required to release easements
File: L4300
Recommendation:
That the Mayor, City Clerk and City Solicitor be authorized to execute all documentation
necessary to release easements from title that are registered in favour of the City of
Pickering for storm drainage or vehicle I pedestrian access purposes where it has been
determined by the Director, Planning & Development and the City Solicitor that the
easements are no longer required.
Executive Summary:
Not Applicable
Financial Implications: There are no new financial implications to the City as a
result of this recommendation.
Background: Past City practice has dictated that, in order to release easements
from title to lands wherein the City has such an interest, documentation must be
forwarded to Council together with a full report explaining the history of the easement, a
site sketch showing its location and a by-law to authorize its release from title.
This process is onerous, time consuming and costly for both the developer/applicant
and the municipality.
In order to increase administrative efficiencies and to enhance customer service in
these situations, it is recommended that a resolution be passed to authorize the Mayor,
City Clerk and City Solicitor to execute all documentation necessary to release from title
easements that are registered in favour of the City of Pickering for storm drainage or
vehicle / pedestrian access purposes where it has been determined by the Director,
Planning & Development and the City Solicitor that the easements are no longer
required. In making this determination, consultation will be undertaken with appropriate
City staff.
