PURPOSE:
The purpose of this report is to obtain Council’s approval to execute construction agreement(s) for the construction of the following infrastructure required for the MSH expansion:
1. A 100 Year storm sewer along the northeast perimeter of the MSH lands to contain the 100 Year major flow from the lands to the north of Church Street, that currently flows overland through MSH, and redirect it to the storm sewer on Bur Oak Avenue; and
2. Construct a portion of the east-west 22.0m municipal road along the south limit of MSH from Ninth Line to Bur Oak Avenue, identified in the Cornell Secondary Plan, subject to confirmation from the MSH that the requirements of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment have been satisfied;
BACKGROUND:
In June 2008, Council approved in principle the preliminary site plan concept for the MSH.
The MSH has advised they wish to proceed with certain municipal infrastructure in advance of the site plan work and site plan agreement. While staff support the request, construction agreement(s) will be required to stipulate the obligations of the MSH and the Town including road dedication, easement, fees, certificate of insurance, and financial security.
MSH has retained Cole Engineering to design and project manage the projects, and MSH will fully finance the projects at no cost to the Town. The infrastructure will be assumed by the Town, subject to the conditions of the construction agreements.
The Town is designing a new
community centre in east Markham (EMCCL) for construction by fall of 2010. In order to construct the EMCCL, the Town is
in the process of acquiring lands from MSH for the site. The land for the EMCCL together with
adjoining MSH lands are currently encumbered by a stormwater retention pond and
an overland flow route. Prior to
constructing the EMCCL, the existing stormwater retention pond must be removed,
and overland flow route must be piped and re-directed to
A new east-west municipal road of
22.0m ROW (9th Line to Bur Oak Avenue), is part of the road network that
provides access to the MSH and frontage for development parcels to the
south. In order to provide access to the
south portion of the MSH from 9th Line, a new road access is required. The proposed east-west municipal road to be
constructed in phases will also serve as a link between 9th Line and
The MSH will be required to acquire the necessary properties, construct the road and dedicate the ROW at no cost to the Town.
There are no financial impacts to the Town as the MSH will be solely responsible for all costs.
