Report to Council CS 07/99 Date: December 3, 1999 Subject: Financing ofTRCA Purchase of Property 927 Tullo St. Page 2 -- The Authority has also requested the Town's assistance in sharing 50 per cent of other associated costs (survey, appraisal environmental consulting). The total assistance requested is $118,750 m ax 1Il111m. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The purchase of the property by TRCA is supported by the Planning & Development and the Operations & Emergency Services Departments as meeting their respective objectives. The property to be acquired represents significant acquisition as part of the Frenchman's Bay West Park Plan and will form part of the broader Waterfront Trail. While the attached letter from TRCA discusses two properties, this report deals only with the funding of one, the Naccarato property. The other Leonhardt property purchase is being funded by TRCA and the Rouge Park Alliance. BACKGROUND: - The subject land is known as 927 Tullo Street (Naccarato property) and is located in the West Shore Ncighbourhood, cast of West Shore Boulevard and adjacent to Buenavista Drive, in an area identified for the future Frenchman's Bay West Park. The subject land comprises an area of approximately .056 of a hectare (.14 acres), and presently supports a one-storey frame detached dwelling together with a detached single car carport. The subject land is zoned 'R4' - Detached Dwelling by Zoning By-law 2511, and is designated 'Active Recreational Area' in the Pickering Official Plan, forming part of the Town's Open Space System. Further, the land is identified as being located within an environmentally significant area in Scheduled III (Resource Management) of the Plan. Securement of the Naccarato property (927 Tullo Street) into public ownership is essential to the TRCA's control of the broader Frenchman's Bay West Park area and to the implementation of a comprchcnsive plan for the park. One additional lot, central to the park development, remains in private ownership. The park will also fonl1 an important node along the Pickering Waterfront Trail, as envisaged by both Town Council and the Mayor's Waterfront 2001 Task Force Report. This acquisition is in keeping with the recently passed Council Resolution #41/99 which clearly demonstrates Council's intent to partner with the TRCA to ensure the acquisition of waterfront lands in the Town of Pickering. The attached Authority request and report outlines the details of the acquisition and the request for funding assistance gives the details of the Authority request from the Town. This land will remain in the ownership of the Authority. - Report to Council CS 07/99 Date: December 3, 1999 Subject: Financing of TRCA Purchase of Property 927 Tullo St. Page 3 !IIf1IO- ATTACHMENTS: COlTespondence from TRCA to Thomas J.
