That the Mayor and Clerk be authorized to execute any documentation approved by the City Solicitor to release all rights of the City relating to Title Control, set out in Section 5 in the Schedule of restrictive covenants to the Deeds, registered as Instrument No.s #344769, #489327, #577150, #679781 respecting the property described as Lots 15 -17, RCP 1478, and municipally known as 56 Trillium Park Place, Kitchener; and further That the City Solicitor be authorized to electronically sign for completeness and release any document required to be registered on title electronically. BACKGROUND: I am in receipt of a request from a solicitor for confirmation that the subject property complies with the restrictions set out in Schedule "A" to Instrument No.s #344769, #489327, #577150, #679781, being Deeds from the City of Kitchener. -2- REPORT: The appropriate staff have reviewed the request and advise that they are unable to comment with respect to the Title Control restrictions historically as our records do not contain the information required to determine compliance; however, with the exception of grading, the property currently complies with all remaining restrictive covenants. The Title Control restrictions contain certain rights in favour of the City to approve certain transactions for a period of 15 years which have expired and provides the City with the right to repurchase the property at 80% of the purchase price if construction of the building has not commenced and occupation within two years of purchasing the property; construction has been completed. Grading has not been approved for this property, however, the property currently complies with the other restrictions set out in the restrictive covenants registered on title. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: N/A COMMUNICATIONS: N/A CONCLUSION: In view of the fact that a building was constructed and the property is in substantial accord with the restrictive covenants, I recommend that the City confirm compliance with the restrictive covenants and release its rights relating to Title Control as set out in the Schedule "A" of Instrument No.s #344769, #489327, #577150, #679781. If Council enacts the above recommendation, it would be appreciated if the Clerk would forward a certified copy of Council's resolution as well as the confirmatory by-law to me.
