a.         Furthermore, the owner of 5 Hanna Avenue will be granted the necessary easements/encroachments above and below such conveyed lands as illustrated on Schedule 3 attached to the letter dated March 9, 2010, from Deputy Mayor Pantalone, until such time as the individual easements/encroachments are deemed unnecessary or irrelevant as a result of the conveyed lands being declared public roadways, with the above-grade easement pertaining to the balcony encroachment being permitted. During the construction of the building at 5 Hanna Avenue, a temporary laneway of approximately 5.59 metres as illustrated on Schedule 4 attached to the letter dated March 9, 2010, from Deputy Mayor Pantalone, will be provided by the owner of 5 Hanna Avenue, which temporary laneway will be bound by an appropriate protective barrier along the north boundary and the existing concrete curb being maintained along the south boundary.

d.         Upon conveyance of the access easement lands to the City of Toronto, the owner of 5 Hanna Avenue will maintain ownership of the lands illustrated on Schedule 7, attached to the letter dated March 9, 2010, from Deputy Mayor Pantalone, which lands are to be used for 18 surface parking stalls and should an easement be required from the City of Toronto for access to these parking stalls, such access will be granted. Finally, the owner of 5 Hanna Avenue will install private lighting on its lands and/or building which will provide a degree of illumination of the 6.0 metre access easement lands.
