City Administrator

T.M. Chong, P. Eng.,
City Engineer

SUBJECT: Restrictive Covenant for 2563 Colonial Drive
(Public Works Committee Meeting March 17, 1989)

RECOMMENDATIONS :

l. That the City Engineer be authorized to approve the attached
restrictive covenant intended for registration against the property
with the civic address of 2563 Colonial Drive.

2. That the Builder, W.E. Industries Ltd., be required to pay the legal
costs incurred by the City in this matter.

BACKGROUND AND COMMENTS:

The Building Department has recently advised that the builder, W.E.
Industries Ltd., is constructing a house at 2563 Colonial Drive. During their
inspections, the Building Department discovered that the foundations to the
house nad been constructed too low to permit gravity drainage of the perimeter
drains into the municipal storm sewers. In order to drain this property, the
builder has to install a sump pump. This matter was then referred to the
Engineering Department for comments and appropriate action.

In order to protect the City from future liability claims, the City
Engineer recommends that an Indemnification Restrictive Covenant be registered
against the property through the Land Titles Office. The builder has agreed
to this proposal. The cost of drafting the attached Covenant decument by the
City’s solicitor, Mr. Anderson, is estimated to be $150.

The Committee recommends that Council accept this Covenant and that the
builder be required to pay the City's leqal costs in this matter.
