DATE OF REPORT: September 16, 2009
REPORT NO.: CRPS-09-127
SUBJECT: SALE OF PART OF PLAINS ROAD, CITY OF KITCHENER
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Mayor and Clerk be authorized to execute an Agreement of Purchase and Sale
with Becker Estates Ltd., to purchase a portion of Plains Road in the City of Kitchener,
containing approximately 1.02 hectares, to be conditional on the closure of the road and
such other terms and conditions as are satisfactory to the City Solicitor.
BACKGROUND:
Becker Estates Ltd. is proposing to develop its lands located at the corner of Huron Road and
Fischer Hallman Road in the City of Kitchener for a mixed use development. Part of Plains
Road bisects their parcel of land. Becker Estates Ltd. have appealed their applications for
official plan amendment, zoning by-law amendment and plan of subdivision to the Ontario
Municipal Board for approval. The development proposal incorporates part of the lands of
Plains Road and its commemoration as a heritage resource. Negotiations between City staff
and representatives of Becker Estates Ltd. continue in order to resolve or reduce the
outstanding planning issues. City staff reported to Development and Technical Services
Committee on the proposed development and OMB appeals in Report No. DTS-09-133.
An environmental assessment was completed on or about June 23, 2009 for the closure of the
subject part of Plains Road and the recommendations of the environmental assessment have
been incorporated into the conditions of draft plan approval. Ultimately, the remaining portion of
Plains Road will connect directly to a street within the draft plan of subdivision.
As anticipated by the development proposal Becker Estates Ltd. has submitted an offer to
purchase that part of Plains Road that bisects their lands to be incorporated into their proposed
development in accordance with the proposed conditions of draft plan approval.
