Administrative Inquiry: Councillor Keating and Councillor Woolley

• In March 2017 Council approved the land use for a significant infill development on the former Highland Park golf course lands close to a future Centre Street LRT station. Prior to development proceeding the City has to complete a regional drainage study and has been working co-operatively with the Highland Park landowner in that context. We had a brief update on this study earlier this year and heard that the proposed regional drainage plan recommendation involved the City’s use of the Highland Park lands.

  Below is a list of questions relative to this study and potential City land purchase, and having regard to our budget discussions commencing November 26^th. It would be helpful for Council to receive a response prior to budget deliberations.

  1. What is the current status of the Confederation Park Regional Drainage Study, Draft Final Report, May 31, 2018?
  2. The draft report recommendation is to utilize the former Highland Park golf course essentially as a stormwater reservoir (in the one in one hundred year event). What is the estimated cost to purchase this private land?
  3. Did Administration (Water Resources) consider whether it could utilize the City-owned lands upstream to address the stormwater issue, i.e. could it store water on the Confederation Golf Course, Confederation Park and/or Queens Park cemetery lands? Has the cost of this option been addressed relative to the Highland Park development land purchase option?
  4. If not analyzed, why were these existing City-owned lands with extensive open spaces, particularly for catastrophic stormwater events, not considered?
  5. Is the recommended land purchase and some associated stormwater infrastructure included in the upcoming 2019-2022 budget discussions?
  6. If not included in the upcoming proposed 4-year budget, what is the next step to resolve this situation working in cooperation with the landowner/developer of the Highland Park lands?
  7. What is the process for the City to acquire private lands for a public purpose if there is an inability to reach an agreement between the City and the private landowner?
