By-law to Stop-up, Close and Convey Part

of the Palace Pier Court Road Allowance (Lakeshore-Queensway)

The Etobicoke Community Council reports that pursuant to Clause No. 7 of Report No. 17 of The Corporate Services Committee, as adopted by Council on November 25, 26 and 27, 1998, notice of the public hearing held by the Community Council on April 28, 1999, with respect to the proposed by-law to stop up and close a portion of Palace Pier Court and to authorize the sale thereof to the abutting owner was published in the Etobicoke Life Newspaper on March 31, April 7, 14 and 21, 1999, and that no one appeared at the public hearing on April28, 1999, to address the Community Council.

The Etobicoke Community Council recommends that as the requirements of the Municipal Act have been fulfilled and no evidence has been presented to the Community Council to persuade it that the proposed by-law should not be enacted, that the by-law to stop up and close a portion of Palace Pier Court and to authorize the sale thereof to the abutting owner in the form of the following draft by-law, be enacted by Council:

The Etobicoke Community Council submits the following report (April 23, 1999) from the Commissioner of Corporate Services:

Purpose:

To enact a by-law to stop-up, close, and convey part of the Palace Pier Court road allowance.

Financial Implications:

None.

Recommendation:

It is recommended that a by-law in the form of the attached draft to stop up, close and convey part of Palace Pier Court described as Part 3, Plan 64R-16122, be enacted.

Background:

City Council, at its meeting held on November 25, 26, and 27, 1998, approved Clause No. 7 of Report No. 17 of The Corporate Services Committee authorizing the conveyance of Parts 3 and 4 on Plan 64R-16122 to the abutting owner at 2063 Lake Shore Boulevard West.

Comments:

A title search conducted by the City's Survey Section revealed that part of the land to be conveyed, being Part 3 on Plan 64R-16122 comprising an area of 26.70 square metres (287.4 square feet), was still technically part of the Palace Pier Court road allowance. Accordingly, a by-law is required to stop up, close and convey this parcel of land in order to complete the conveyance of this land to the owner at 2063 Lake Shore Boulevard West as previously approved by Council.

Conclusion:

It is recommended that a by-law to stop-up, close, and convey the surplus portion of road allowance be approved.
