REPORT:
The Walterfedy Partnership on behalf of City of Kitchener has completed the detailed design for
the extension of Block Line Road from Hanover Street to Lennox Lewis Way (see attached
map). As per consultants proposed design, the City needs to purchase several properties for
extension of the Block Line Road from Hanover Street to Lennox Lewis Way. One of the land
parcels belongs to Hydro One; the exact area of the land is 0.5192 acres (shown as Parts 12,
13 and 14 on Reference Plan 58R-16139). Hydro One has determined the consideration of
these lands at $86,500 (based on market value). Hydro One requires an Order-in-Council to
sell these lands which has been secured and it expires on February 18, 2010, therefore this
transaction must be completed by February 18, 2010.
City staff had several discussions with Hydro One and Ontario Reality Corporation, and they are
in agreement to transfer the required land to the City to accommodate the road construction.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
This project is a Development Charge project. All the purchase costs, including reference plan,
appraisal, Ontario Realty Corporation's engineering and review and legal fees, land transfer tax,
Land Registry fees and disbursements and all incidental costs associated with this transaction
are to be paid by the City of Kitchener. The City has sufficient funds available in the Capital
project account # 861238 to accommodate this land purchase.
CONCLUSION:
Staff recommends that the City acquires this land from Hydro One to accommodate proposed
extension of Block Line Road.
