SUBJECT:Authorization to Execute an Amendment to Agreement of
Purchase and Sale re portion Plains Road
___________________________________________________________________________
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Mayor and Clerk be authorized to execute an amendment to the
Agreement of Purchase and Sale with Schlegel Urban Developments Corp.,
(formerly Becker Estates Inc.) for the purchase of a portion of Plains Road, to
facilitate pre-grading of Plains Road; said amendment to be to the satisfaction of
the City Solicitor.
BACKGROUND:
Back in 2009 the City committed to closing and conveying a portion of Plains Road to
facilitate what then known as the development of Becker’s Estate Subdivision. In the
latter part of 2017 the Developer built the temporary turning circle to facilitate the actual
closing of that portion of Plains Road. The City has subsequently passed a by-law to
close that portion of Plains Road, which will become effective upon registration of the
By-law.
REPORT:
The Subdivider would like to pre-grade that portion of Plains Road. In order to facilitate
the pre-grading the City would like to advance the conveyance of that portion of Plains
Road and required amendments to the Agreement of Purchase and Sale to accomplish
earlier conveyance. Staff fully support this approach.
