PREPARED BY: Steve Allen, Manager Design and Approvals (741-2584)
WARD(S) INVOLVED: Ward #1
DATE OF REPORT: November 10, 2009
REPORT NO.: DTS-09-172
SUBJECT: SPRINGDALE SANITARY SEWER EASEMENT
REQUIREMENT
RECOMMENDATION:
That Legal Services be directed to acquire a 6.0 metre wide easement across 36
Springdale Drive and 68 Lang Crescent, for the construction of the Springdale Sanitary
Sewer, at a purchase price not to exceed $26,700 plus the cost of the reference plan and
all the incidental costs associated with the transaction; said easement to be described
on a reference plan; and further,
That the Mayor and Clerk be authorized to execute the necessary documentation to effect
the transfer of easement.
BACKGROUND:
The Springdale Sanitary Sewer project has been initiated to address the operational issues
associated with the existing Springdale Sanitary Pumping Station following the findings of the
2009 Springdale Sanitary Pumping Station Replacement Schedule B Class Environmental
Assessment prepared by MTE Consultants Inc. The recommended improvements include
decommissioning of the existing pumping station and the installation of a new gravity sewer
from Springdale Drive to General Place. Easements will be required for the portion of the sewer
that crosses the privately owned lands.
REPORT:
The recommendations of the Springdale Sanitary Pumping Station Replacement Schedule B
Class Environmental Assessment propose the installation of a new gravity sewer from
Springdale Drive to General Place. The route of the new sewer is within City of Kitchener
property and two private properties located at 36 Springdale Drive and 68 Lang Crescent. Staff
have been in discussion with the property owners and have received indications that they are
4-1
willing to enter into a formal agreement. The construction of sewers through the proposed
easements will be completed using trenchless methods. Construction is tentatively scheduled
to start December 7, 2009.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Purchase costs, reference plan expenses, registration of the easement costs and all incidental
costs associated with this transaction are to be paid by the City of Kitchener out of the Lift
Station Replacement Account.
COMMUNICATIONS: N/A
CONCLUSION:
Staff recommends that the City acquires the easement through 36 Springdale Drive and 68
Lang Crescent in order to install the sanitary sewer.
