Municipality of Clarington Page 2 Report LGS-009-23 Report Overview Through development process, various road widenings and/or reserves have been transferred to The Corporation of the Municipality of Clarington and require by-laws to have the lands assumed as public highways. 1. Background 1.1 Through the development process, various road widenings have been transferred to The Corporation of the Municipality of Clarington. When development conditions are met by adjacent landowners, the widenings require by-laws to have them assumed as public highways for permanent maintenance purposes. 1.2 In some instances, 0.3 metre reserves have been transferred to the Municipality. When development conditions are met by developers, the 0.3 metre reserves require by-laws to have them dedicated as public highways for public use. The reserves will become part of the road widening and will be assumed by the Municipality when the subdivision is complete. 1.3 Preparing the by-laws on an individual basis is time consuming. As a cost saving measure, the various lands to be dedicated and assumed for public use have been permitted to accumulate so that they could be combined in the attached by-law. 1.4 It is now appropriate for the Council to pass the attached by-law. 2. Financial Consideration 2.1 The assumed roads will form part of the Municipality’s assets and will be included in future asset management plans. 3. Conclusion It is respectfully recommended that Council pass the by-law attached to this report. Following its passage, the Municipal Solicitor will register it in the Land Registry Office.
