access it for maintenance or replacement and this is the reason that administration is requesting a denial. Administration adds if it was closed they would have to bring heavy equipment on private property which could be problematic.
An inquiry is made related to an easement and if that was considered.
Councillor Bortolin inquires as to the difference between a street closure request and an alley closure request. Wira Vendrasco, Deputy City Solicitor appears before the Development and Heritage Standing Committee regarding the administrative report To Close and Convey the Westerly Portion of North Terminal Rd., Northerly of Essex Terminal railway. Applicant: B&S Dortmans Ward 3 and indicates that streets and alleys are the same legal entity. She adds that unassumed streets appear as a road although they are not assumed so would not get the same attention as roadways that are assumed related to winter maintenance and they may not be paved. As part of the existing alley closing policy, if sewer is present the request is denied.
Councillor Morrison requests clarification as to the location of the sewer line and whether a severance can be provided. Administration provides clarification and suggests a deferral to discuss options with the applicant.
