Subject:Release of Watermain Easement Registered as Instrument No. 61630 F on the Title of No. 4A Wychwood Park,
(Ward 23, Midtown)
Purpose:To release the watermain easement across No. 4A Wychwood Park as described in Instrument No. 61630 F.
Funding Sources, Financial Implications and Impact Statement:
Not applicable.
Recommendations:
It is recommended that:
(1)authority be granted to remove the watermain easement rights described in Instrument No. 61630 F from the title of
No. 4A Wychwood Park; and
(2)the appropriate City Officials be authorized and directed to take the necessary action to give effect thereto.
Council Reference/Background/History:
Under Instrument No. 61630 F dated February 24, 1910, the City of Toronto acquired an easement for the maintenance,
repair, and reconstruction of a 100 mm watermain across lands comprising Parts 2 and 5 of lot 10 on Registered Plan
63R-4454.
The watermain within the lands was subsequently abandoned in conjunction with watermain construction works
undertaken in 1996 and the easement is no longer required.
The owner of the subject property has submitted an application (Building Permit Application No. 409289), to the
Commissioner of Urban Planning and Development Services for permission to undertake construction within the easement
lands.
Comments and/or Discussion and/or Justification:
The terms of Instrument No. 61630 F prohibit construction within the easement lands and since the easement is no longer
required for future servicing, I recommend that it be removed from the title of the property.
Conclusions:
Approval should be given to remove the watermain easement rights described in Instrument No. 61630 F from the title of
No. 4A Wychwood Park.
