Subdivision Agreement with Respect to 870 Pape Avenue
The East York Community Council recommends the adoption of the following report (February 4, 1998) from the Commissioner of Development Services:
Purpose:
This report seeks the permission to enter into a subdivision agreement and a pre-servicing agreement with the owners of 870 Pape Avenue.
Source of Funds:
Not applicable.
Recommendation:
That the East York Community Council recommend to the Toronto City Council that the municipality execute a subdivision agreement, substantially in the form set out in Appendix AA@ of this report, and to enter into a pre-servicing agreement with the owners of 870 Pape Avenue.
Background:
The property at 870 Pape Avenue received a variety of planning approvals in the summer of 1997 to permit the construction of 78 semi-attached and townhouse housing units on a new plan of subdivision. As part of the approvals process, East York Council approved the conditions of draft plan approval for the plan of subdivision. A subdivision agreement with the owners of the property is required, in order to implement the draft plan conditions.
Comments:
As part of the subdivision approval process, agreements between the municipality and developers are made in order to protect municipal interests. A draft subdivision agreement for 870 Pape Avenue is attached as Appendix AA@ to this report. In addition to the matters addressed in the draft agreement, there will be additional schedules attached to the final agreement with respect to requirements resulting from the City Engineering staff review.
The developers have also requested the municipality for permission to begin construction of the roads, sewers, water etc. to service the site, prior to the completion of a subdivision agreement. This is a common practice in the development of subdivisions. Normally the municipality enters into a "pre-servicing" agreement with the developer in order to protect municipal interests.
Conclusions:
Council, through the recommendations of the East York Community Council should give authority for the municipality to enter into a subdivision agreement and a pre-servicing agreement with the owners of 870 Pape Avenue.
