REPORT No. 1

OF THE CORPORATE SERVICES COMMITTEE

(from its meeting on January 20, 1998,

submitted by Councillor Dick O'Brien, Chair)

As Considered by

The Council of the City of Toronto

on February 4, 5 and 6, 1998

1

Lambton House - Heritage York

(City Council on February 4, 5 and 6, 1998, adopted this Clause, without amendment.)

The Corporate Services Committee recommends the adoption of the following report (January16, 1998) from the Lead Solicitor, Legal Services:

Purpose:

To obtain Council authorization for a lease of Lambton House (4066 Old Dundas Street) to Heritage York.

Funding Sources, Financial Implications and Impact Statement:

There are no financial implications.

Recommendations:

It is recommended that:

(1) the City of Toronto enter into a lease with Heritage York for the Lambton House property;

(2) the lease be in accordance with the draft lease appended to this report; and

(3) the Mayor and Clerk be authorized to execute the lease under corporate seal on behalf of the City.

Council Reference/Background/History:

City of York Council Minutes (1997) Clause 310.

On December 9, 1997, the City of York Council adopted the recommendation set out in a report of the City of York City Solicitor as follows:

"That City staff be instructed to meet with representatives of Heritage York and negotiate the terms of a lease of Lambton House for presentation to the new City of Toronto Council at the first opportunity in 1998. The lease is to be at a nominal rent with the City being responsible for heat and utilities until Heritage York actually occupies the building. Other terms of the lease to be consistent with Heritage York's Business Plan which was previously submitted to the City."

The City of York Council adopted this recommendation after it had been advised that the lame-duck provisions of the Municipal Act prevented the Council from then approving the lease.

Comments and/or Discussion and/or Justification:

Heritage York is a not-for-profit corporation. Through its fundraising efforts it financially assisted with the exterior renovation of the Lambton House, a building owned by the City and designated under the Ontario Heritage Act.

Heritage York proposes to renovate the interior of the Lambton House and to use it for its office and for other uses particularly appropriate considering its historic designation. Possible uses include:

(i) seniors activities;

(ii) education classes and activities;

(iii) heritage/museum displays;

(iv) provision of facilities, such as concessions selling food and gifts/souvenirs, serving users of the South Humber Trail;

(v) neighbourhood activities; and

(vi) meeting places for community groups.

The lease presented with this report was finalized after negotiations with Heritage York. It would permit the above-noted uses, and would also permit Heritage York to rent up to thirty percent of the building's floor space to one or more sub-tenants to provide income to assist Heritage York maintain the property and for its other activities.

Through a competitive tendering process, Heritage York has selected a contractor to renovate the interior of the building, and advises that delay is increasing the cost of the renovations.

The lease is for a term of 10 years, at a nominal rent of five dollars per year, with the tenant having an option to renew for a further five-year term on the same terms. The other terms and provisions are considered appropriate for a lease between the City as landlord and a not-for-profit tenant expending its funds for the renovation of the building and other heritage activities in the City.

Conclusion:

It is reasonable and in the City's interest to enter into a lease with Heritage York as recommended by the City of York Council and as presented with this report.

Acquisition of Subsurface Fee Interest for the

Southwest Wye Tunnel and a Temporary Work Site

Lease, Sheppard Avenue Subway-Yonge Station

Owner: OMERS Realty Corporation and Canadian Pacific Properties

Incorporated and Leased to 4800 Yonge Street Limited

(City Council on February 4, 5 and 6, 1998, adopted this Clause, without amendment.)

The Corporate Services Committee recommends the adoption of the following report (January9, 1998) from the Commissioner of Corporate Services:

Purpose:

To authorize the execution of a Section 30 Agreement pursuant to the Expropriations Act securing the property requirements for the Sheppard Subway project.

Funding Source, Financial Implications and Impact Statement:

Financing has previously been approved by Council and is available in Capital Account No.TC-392.

Recommendations:

It is recommended that:

(1) authority be granted to enter into an agreement with OMERS Realty Corporation, Canadian Pacific Properties and 4800 Yonge Street Ltd., pursuant to Section 30 of the Expropriations Act on terms and conditions detailed herein; and

(2) the appropriate City Officials be authorized and directed to take the necessary action to give effect thereto.

Council Reference/Background/History:

By approval of Clause No. 2 of Report No. 9 of The Management Committee (as amended) on March8, 1994, and subject to a further report regarding funding, Metropolitan Council approved the construction of the Sheppard Subway to Don Mills Road. By the approval of Clause No. 2 of Report No.14 of The Management Committee (as amended) on April 20, 1994, Metropolitan Council authorized a debenture funding to commence the project. Finally, Metropolitan Council by its adoption of Clause No. 2 of Report No. 21 of The Financial Priorities Committee on September 25 and 26, 1996 (as amended) approved the completion of the Sheppard Subway project.

Comments and/or Discussion and/or Justification:

As part of the Sheppard Subway, Yonge Station construction, the TTC requires a subsurface fee interest for the southwest Wye which will link the Yonge Line to the Sheppard Line. The TTC also requires the property as a work site from January 1, 1998, to June 30, 2001, which will also provide for detours of Sheppard Avenue West and Yonge Street during the station's construction. The property is leased to 4800 Yonge Street Ltd., which is a holding company owned by OMERS Realty Corporation as to an undivided 75 percent and Canadian Pacific Properties Inc., as to an undivided 25percent interest.

The previous owner, 4800 Yonge Street Ltd., had gratuitously conveyed the widening of Sheppard Avenue as a condition of development and the transfer of the subsurface fee interest will be at no cost to the City.

A lease agreement has been negotiated with a term commencing January 1, 1998, and terminating June30, 2001, with the City having the right to extend the term for two further six month periods.

The City has the right upon sixty days' notice to terminate the lease prior to the end of the term. The rent for the initial term is the sum of $630,000.00, plus GST, realty taxes and any operating costs associated with the site for the term of the lease.

The rent for the extension periods is to be $50,000.00 per month.

The agreement is made pursuant to Section 30 of the Expropriations Act which allows the owner to apply for determination of additional compensation as if the land were expropriated. The agreement also provides for the payment of the owners' reasonable legal, appraisal and other costs related to the transaction.

The owners have also agreed to pay an entrance connection fee of $150,000.00 to the TTC in advance of the construction of their proposed building. The fee was determined by TTC staff and will be finalized by the TTC in a covenant agreement. The agreement also contains a condition that during the term of the lease, the City will not release or finalize arrangements for the development of the City-owned lands located at the northwest corner of Yonge and Sheppard. It was a concern of the owners that the City could benefit from the lease of the 4800 Yonge Street property to gain a competitive advantage in marketing the City-owned lands.

Conclusions:

Acceptance of the Section 30 Agreement by the City of Toronto will ensure possession of the property interests required for the Sheppard Subway construction project in a timely manner. The amounts recommended herein are considered fair and reasonable.

Granting of Right of First Refusal to

the Owner(s) of Fairview Mall

Sheppard Subway Project - Don Mills Station

Ward: Seneca Heights

(City Council on February 4, 5 and 6, 1998, adopted this Clause, without amendment.)

The Corporate Services Committee recommends the adoption of the following report (January16, 1998) from the Commissioner of Corporate Services:

Purpose:

To seek authority to grant to the owner(s) of Fairview Mall a Right of First Refusal with respect to certain City-owned land in the immediate vicinity of the shopping centre for the future right to acquire same at such future time as same may become surplus to City needs.

Funding Sources, Financial Implications and Impact Statement:

There are no immediate financial implications associated with this report.

Recommendations:

It is recommended that:

(1) authorization be provided to grant to the owners of Fairview Mall a Right of First Refusal on the criteria set out herein and in a form satisfactory to the City Solicitor; and

(2) the appropriate City Officials be authorized and directed to take the necessary action to give effect thereto.

Council Reference/Background/History:

By its adoption of Clause No. 2 of Report No. 25 of The Corporate Administration Committee (as amended) on December 10 and 18, 1997, the Council of the former Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto approved a transaction concerning the land acquisition and construction of the Don Mills Subway Station as part of the Sheppard Subway Project, in the immediate proximity of, and to some extent, integrated with, the Fairview Mall shopping centre.

Comments and/or Discussion and/or Justification:

Subsequently, negotiations have been conducted with the owners of Fairview Mall, as a result of which the overall Master Agreement has recently been executed to enable the necessary demolition work at the site to get underway. That Agreement anticipated the preparation and execution of a myriad of permanent contracts and property documents, all to be finalized by the end of February, 1998. In the course of delineating the necessary or desirable "final" documents, it was realized that the provision of a Right of First Refusal to the owners of Fairview Mall had not been provided for in the initial Council authority. In a situation such as the Don Mills Station where various of the transit facilities and municipal property interests are, in essence, intermingled with those of a private owner, it is most reasonable and practical to provide to that owner the first entitlement to acquire the municipal property if and when same is declared surplus at some future point in time.

Accordingly, the owners of Fairview Mall have requested future rights to acquire the property adjacent to the Mall, and it is recommended that such entitlement be granted on the following terms and conditions:

(1) the Right of First Refusal will not apply until such time as the Council for the City of Toronto, or its successor, declares the lands in question to be surplus to municipal requirements;

(2) the process by which Council may, in the future, declare the lands surplus to its requirements will be subject to then-existing statutes, by-laws and municipal policies;

(3) the purchase price applicable to any future sale is to be based upon an appraisal (i.e., rather than a process whereby the owner(s) of Fairview Mall would be offered an opportunity to match a third party offer to purchase); and

(4) any future appraisal is to be premised, as a term of reference, on the basis that the stipulated value shall be that which is the greater of the land's then fair market value or, the land's then value-in-contribution to the purchaser's property.

Conclusions:

The provision of a Right of First Refusal premised on the foregoing criteria is fair and reasonable and would not prejudice or adversely affect either the future value of the lands in question or the interests of the City of Toronto.

This matter is being brought forward to the Corporate Services Committee by way of supplementary agenda because this report could not be finalized prior to the scheduled agenda closing deadline. The issue is, however, one that requires the approval of your Committee and Council in order for the Right of First Refusal to be incorporated into the final documentation by the end of February.
