DELEGATION
Mr. Robert DeGasperis. Metros Development Inc. re: Cat-Tail
Investments Inc.
Page 2
Mr. Robert DeGasperis addressed the issue of construction of sanitary and watermain
services to the area of OPA No. 61, between Wellington Street East and Vandorf
Sideroad west of Bayview Avenue. These costs will be in the range of $1,698,700.00.
He proposed that Cat-Tail install these services at its expense under the Town's
supervision, commencing in the summer, 1993. However, he noted that the Development
Charges Act process of crediting back such front-end costs is uncertain. Accordingly,
he suggested that, of the 754 residential units Cat-Tail hopes to commence building this
fall, Cat-Tail's proportion of the services construction costs (being $1,132.700.00) be
credited back when building permits are required for the first 143 residential units.
Noting that an Ontario Municipal Board hearing will be upcoming on the proposed
development and that he is anxious to move forward with this development, he requested
Council to have Staff report on the implications of his proposal.
#93. Moved by Councillor Jones Seconded by Councillor Timpson
THAT the request be referred to Staff for a report.
