REPORT 1.0 ATTACHMENTS No. l: Key Map No.2 : Letter from Developer's Solicitor No. 3: Copy of Pertinent Excerpts from the Subdivision Agreement No. 4 : Copy of proposed 'Final Notification Letter' to Developer 2.0 BACKGROUND 2 . 1 The Corporation of the Town of Newcastle entered into a Subdivision Agreement, registered July 24, 1989, with Schickedanz Bros . Limited to develop lands by plan of subdivision, located in Bowmanville and described as Plans 1OM-829 and 1OM-830 (Attachment No. l) . The agreement required the developer to construct a storm sewer system, stormwater management works and all roadworks, including hot-mix paving, curbs, sidewalks, topsoil and sodding of boulevards, paving of driveway entrances, street lighting and street trees, hereinafter referred to as the 'Works ' . 2 .2 The initial works were completed by the developer in the fall of 1989, however the Stormwater Management Works could not be constructed until approvals were obtained from government agencies (Ministry of Natural Resources, Ministry of the Environment, Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority) . It was agreed that the Works would commence immediately upon receiving all necessary approvals. Since that time, the developer and his consulting engineers have been dealing with the various government agencies in obtaining approvals for the i REPORT NO. : WD-32-93 PAGE 3 2 . 3 Upon receiving approvals, the developer committed to the construction of the Stormwater Management Works during the summer of 1993 . As a result, a public information meeting was held on March 24, 1993, notifying the public of the scope of the work and the scheduled construction for the summer- of 1993 (June 15 to September 15) . This meeting was co-ordinated by the developer's consulting engineers with the full knowledge and support of the developer, and was attended by both the developer's engineer and Public Works Staff. Subsequent to the comments arising from the public information meeting, previously documented in report WD-21-93, the engineering drawings were revised and approved by the Town of Newcastle June 3, 1993. 2 .4 Despite having full knowledge of the importance to the Municipality and The Northumberland and Clarington Board of Education of having the works completed this summer and despite having full knowledge of the extensive efforts and commitments relating to approvals, easement procurements, design, scheduling and public information, the developer has now advised that he has decided not to complete the works at this time (Attachment No. 2) . It is important to note that until receipt of this letter, the developer had at all times assured Town staff that the Works would be constructed according to schedule. Due to past dealings with this developer, Town staff accepted these assurances in good faith. 2 .5 In addition to the Stormwater Management Works, the outstanding works include, but are not necessarily limited to: base asphalt repairs, curbs, sidewalks, surface asphalt paving, driveway approach paving, boulevard sodding, channel works, street trees, street lighting and fencing. 2 . 6 The performance guarantee for these works is secured by the Town in the form of three (3) Letters of Credit from the i o36' REPORT NO. : WD-32-93 PAGE 4 developer, valued at $3,865,000, $50,000 and $30,000 for a total of $3,945, 000 . Staff estimates the cost of completing all outstanding works to be approximately $3,860,000. 2 . 7 Under Section 5 . 17 of the Subdivision Agreement (Attachment No. 3) , the Director of Public Works has the authority to order the work completed at the expense of the developer, subject to the approval of Council and upon written 'Notice' being given to the developer and his surety (Attachment No.5) . 2 . 8 Due to the magnitude of the Works involved and the limited construction envelope of June 15 to September 15 for the Stormwater Management Works, the Works cannot be completed by the Municipality this year. However, some works will be carried out this year, such as channelization improvements to address the floodproofing at the Galbraith walkway. In order to protect the Municipality's interests and ensure there are no delays in accessing the developer's funds, it is recommended that the Letters of Credit be drawn down for their full value.
