25 Report to Council To: Mayor Linton and Members of Council Prepared By: Brett Salmon, Managing Director of Planning and Development Report: PLN Date: 24 Apr 2017 RE: Dedication of Reserve Blocks in New Subdivisions Recommendation: THAT the Council of the Township of Centre Wellington give three readings to a by-law to dedicate various reserve blocks as a public highway. Report: When a subdivision is registered, it is a requirement of the Township that all dead ends and open sides of road allowances be terminated in a 0.3 metre, or one foot reserve that is dedicated to the Township. These blocks are generally placed at the dead end of a street in one phase of a subdivision where it is to be extended in a future phase. The reserve is to prevent unauthorized access to the land abutting the reserve. As a new subdivision phase is registered, it is necessary to dedicate the reserve blocks as part of the road allowance. A number of new phases in subdivision plans were registered in 2016 and it is now appropriate to pass a by-law to dedicate the reserve blocks in these subdivisions. The necessary by-law is attached, as are key maps to identify the affected blocks.

35 Report to Council To: Mayor Linton and Members of Council Prepared By: Brett Salmon, Managing Director of Planning and Development Report: PLN Date: 24 Apr 2017 RE: Dedication of Scott Street, Fergus Recommendation: THAT the Council of the Township of Centre Wellington give three readings to a by-law to dedicate land as part of a public highway, being Scott Street. Report: Plan 868 is a plan of subdivision in Fergus that was registered in The plan incorporates a portion of McTavish Street as well as Scott Street. Scott Street is a culde-sac that presently contains several blocks of townhouses and also provides access to the Heritage Lane development that is under construction. At the time of the execution of the subdivision agreement for Plan 868, it was contemplated that Scott Street may be extended as a public road onto the abutting land that was in separate ownership and not part of the subdivision. One of the townhouse blocks on the plan, Block 60, was used to create a temporary turning circle. The developer of the subdivision was required by the subdivision agreement to construct the temporary turning circle and convey Block 60 to the municipality. The municipality, in turn, agreed to convey Block 60 back to the developer if the land was no longer needed for a temporary turning circle. Fast forward to 2014 and the abutting land was sold and a draft plan of vacant land condominium was proposed. The development plan proposed a private road with access to Scott Street. The Township therefore required the temporary cul-de-sac to be reconstructed to a permanent standard within a portion of Block 60, at the developer's expense. The completion of this cul-de-sac has taken place and it is now appropriate to pass a by-law to dedicate the cul-de-sac portion of Block 60 as part of Scott Street. A remnant parcel that remains will be conveyed to the developer as per the original subdivision agreement. In addition, Block 51 is a reserve block at the end of the original dedicated Scott Street that must also become part of Scott Street to allow the adjacent Heritage Lane development to have legal access to Scott Street.
