This report
recommends the Acceptance for Maintenance of certain plans of subdivisions,
completed in accordance with the terms and conditions of the subdivision
agreements, and recommends the Town assume responsibility for the operation and
maintenance of the municipal infrastructure within these plans. The report also recommends the implementation
of amendments to traffic control by-laws that include speed, stop and parking
control on streets within the subdivision.
The
construction of municipal services infrastructure within the plans of
subdivision has been completed in accordance with the terms and conditions of
the subdivision agreements and to the satisfaction of the Development Services
Commission in consultation with other internal commenting departments. In accordance with the conditions of the
subdivision agreements, it is now appropriate that the Town assume, from the
Developer, the responsibility for the maintenance and operation of the
municipal services and transportation infrastructure within these plans. Upon placing the subdivisions on “Acceptance
for Maintenance”, the Developers will be required to guarantee the municipal
infrastructure for a further period of time (two years) against any deficiencies
or failures, after which each subdivision may be assumed by the Town.
Construction
of public works completed
The
construction of the public works for each subdivision has been completed to the
Town’s satisfaction and in accordance with the subdivision agreement. All documentation, including the Consulting
Engineer’s Certificate confirming the completion of all engineering services to
Town standards and the overall grading plan, Owner’s Statutory Declaration
regarding payments with respect to the installation of the underground and
above ground services, and Land Surveyor Certificate confirming the
re-establishment of all survey monuments and bench marks has been received.
Additional
infrastructure inventory to be maintained
Within the
subdivisions, there exists 7.22 kilometers of roads, 6.62 kilometers of
sidewalk, 6.90 kilometers of sanitary
sewers, 8.90 kilometers of storm sewer, 9.43 kilometers of water main, 915
street trees, 232 street lights and 5.51ha parkland which will require
maintenance by the Community Services Commission and be budgeted for in future
budgets.
Acceptance
for Maintenance date
The date for
Acceptance for Maintenance has been established as of October 1, 2010 which
reflects the date the developments were eligible for acceptance.
Amendments to
speed, stop, parking control and one way traffic by-laws,
Upon the
“Acceptance for Maintenance” of the roads, it is important to ensure that all
applicable traffic control by-laws are adopted to ensure safe and efficient
traffic flow. The recommended amendments
to by-laws 105-71, 106-71 and 2005-188 are attached to this report for
adoption.
Public
highway by-law to be passed
A by-law be enacted by Council to establish each street within the subdivision
as a public highway of the Town of Markham.
ENVIRONMENTAL:
The Roseport Landport Development
located in the area of Rodick Road and Yorktech Boulevard has been successfully remediated and the
environmental contamination removed in accordance with the approved Environmental
Plan for these lands. A six year environmental monitoring program was
undertaken by the developer and the final monitoring report indicates that
“there is no impact from contamination ground water entering the storm sewer
system on Yorktech Boulevard and on Rodick Road”.
An
independent peer review of the Environmental Monitoring Plan and its monitoring
results was undertaken by the Town which confirmed the monitoring report
findings.
The plans of
subdivision, municipal services and infrastructure meet the “Building Markham’s
Future Together” six areas of strategic focus and have been designed and
constructed in accordance with Town policies, design criteria and standards
including all environmental approvals and permits.
The Community
Services Commission is to assume maintenance of the infrastructure within these
plans. The Legal Department is to
prepare a by-law to be enacted by Council to establish each of the roads within
these plans as public highways of the Town of Markham.
The Mayor and Clerk are to execute the necessary releases from the terms
of the Subdivision Agreements subject to confirmation from the Director of
Engineering that the final two-year guarantee periods have been completed.
