 (b) Development-Related Sewer Construction:

 The Council of the former City of Toronto, at its meeting of July 11, 1996, adopted Clause 4 in Executive Committee Report No. 11, and in so doing authorized the development of a housing project east of River Street, north of Queen Street East.

 In accordance with the obligations set out in the Statement of Approval/Undertaking, the developer is responsible for the costs associated with municipal services.

 The construction of a sanitary sewer is required in connection with this development. The proposed sewer work is described in Item No. (4) of Schedule "A", attached. The cost of this work is to be borne by the developer.

 In connection with a housing development at premises Nos. 12 and 15 Sudbury Street, certain municipal services required to serve the site are proposed to be constructed by and at the developer's expense within the Sudbury Street right-of-way. The proposed storm sewer is described in Item No. (5) of Schedule "A" attached. The cost of this work is to be borne by the developer.

 (2) Water Works:

 City Council, at its meeting of March 6, 1998, adopted By-law No. 109-1998, authorizing the improvement and extension of the City's water works at various locations. In addition to these locations, water mains on Sudbury Street and on the lane system east of River Street are to be included under this authorization.

 The construction of two water mains is required in connection with the housing developments discussed above on the laneway system north of Queen Street East, east of River Street and on Sudbury Street. These water main projects are described as Items Nos. (1) and (2) of Schedule "B", attached.
