DATE OF REPORT: June 23, 2010
REPORT NO.: DTS -10-136
SUBJECT: Declare a Portion of Land Surplus for the Conveyance of an
Easement to Hydro One
RECOMMENDATION:
That council enact the following resolution:
"That the lands as set out on the attached Schedule "A" and legally described as
Part of Block 143, Plan 1600, to be further described on a Reference Plan, be
declared surplus to the City's needs and conveyed to Hydro One for purposes of
creating an easement over the subject lands;
That Legal Services be directed to transfer a permanent easement to Hydro One
to access an existing easement on the lands;
That the Mayor and Clerk be authorized to execute the necessary documentation
to effect this transaction, said documentation to be to the satisfaction of the City
Solicitor."
BACKGROUND:
The City is proceeding with modifications to an existing stormwater management pond located
on City owned lands in the Forest West Park area. The modifications are part of the
Infrastructure Stimulus Funding grant (ISF) and involve the creation of a larger pond for the
purposes of controlling stormwater quality as well as quantity. Hydro One owns and operates
power lines within an easement over the City owned lands. The easement agreement requires
that any works performed by the City over the granted easement be subject to Hydro One
review and approval. As the pond is being enlarged, Hydro One has requested that the
easement be widened in the area of the pond in order to facilitate the movement of Hydro One
maintenance vehicles around the new pond.

REPORT:
Hydro-One has requested that the easement be widened in the area of the pond in order to
facilitate the movement of Hydro One maintenance vehicles around the new pond. The new
easement is contained entirely on City owned land and is approximately 6.Om by 50.Om
It is a required formality for the City to declare the lands surplus in order to allow the
conveyance of an easement.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The financial implications would be the cost of a Reference Plan and the registration of the
Easement and will be paid for from "CAP/MISC LAND -CITY STS INC SURVEY" -Internal
Order # 59500187.
COMMUNICATIONS: N/A
CONCLUSION:
Hydro One approval for the modifications to the SWM pond are subject to the granting of the
wider easement in the vicinity of the existing pond. Staff recommend that the wider easement
be granted.
