REPORT TO COUNCIL
FROM:
John Reble
Solicitor for the City
DATE: January 23,2002
REPORT NUMBER: L05-02
-
SUBJECT:
City of Pickering Road Allowances Ownership
File: W2300 and REOOOO
RECOMMENDATION:
A by-law be enacted to authorize the acquisition or disposition of certain road allowances within
the City of Pickering in order to accurately reflect ownership at the Land Registry Office.
ORIGIN:
The Province of Ontario Land Registration Information System "POLARIS".
AUTHORITY:
Municipal Act, RS.O.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
N/A
-
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
When Teranet Land Information Services Inc. ("Terent Inc.") automated land registrations within
the Region they had difficulties determining the ownership of certain road allowances and
consequently have abstracted the ownership of various road allowances incorrectly. To correct
the title to these road allowances, Council authorization is required.
BACKGROUND:
Teranet Land Information Services Inc. ("Terent Inc.") has been automating and enhancing the
Province of Ontario's Land Registration System since 1991. During this automation period,
Terent has experienced difficulty in determining the ownership of certain road allowances within
the Region.
The City of Pickering has been affected by this as well, with some City road allowances
appearing in the Region's ownership or conversely, certain roads in the Regional road system
appear in Pickering's ownership. In order to correct these errors on title, it is necessary for the
City to transfer to the Region (or in some instances Ajax, as we share boundary roads with Ajax:
that may be incorrectly abstracted at the Registry. Office) the portions of road allowances that
actually form part of their road systems and accept conveyances of the road allowances that form
part of the City's road system.
-
It should be noted that these errors on title will only be rectified when they are brought to our
attention by the Region, Ajax or through our own searching of title. To undertake a search of all
road allowances within Pickering at one time to ensure proper title has been abstracted, would
be a very costly and timely process.
