Item - 2023.IE5.3

Infrastructure and Environment Committee:

1. Received the report (June 13, 2023) from the City Solicitor for information.

At the March 20, 2023 meeting of the Infrastructure and Environment Committee, the Infrastructure and Environment Committee requested the City Solicitor, in consultation with Finance and other City divisions and the Toronto Region Conservation Authority as appropriate, to report back to the Infrastructure and Environment Committee on options for:

a.  Requiring the owners of adjacent private property, that would directly benefit from ravine slope stabilization, to contribute to the cost of such work, and/or to transfer ravine land to the city or the Toronto Region Conservation Authority in lieu of such payment,

b.  Notifying insurers of the adjacent private property of the risk of slope instability, and

c.  Registering the risk of slope instability against the title of directly affected adjacent lands.

This report has now been prepared in response to the request of the Infrastructure and Environment Committee.
