THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT: The suggested policy regarding erosion
control on private property, which reads:
I -2 -2-
1. The Corporation should assume no responsibility for
erosion control on privately owned lands.
2. In cases of severe erosion which occurs on lands
presently privately owned, but which ultimately will
be acquired by The Metropolitan Toronto and Region
Conservation Authority as shown in Schedule 'cA" of the
Flood Control Agreement between the Corporation and
the M.T.R.C.A., the Corporation may assume respons-
ibility provided -
(a) The Metropolitan Council is prepared to set aside
a specific budget item each year, in excess of
the funding required for Channel Improvements for
Urbanized Areas and Erosion Control for Park De-
velopment purposes, to finance the administration,
preparation of engineering studies and the carry-
ing out of the work;
(b) The Technical Advisory Committee on Parks and
Conservation recommends that such remedial work
be carried out; and
(c) The original requesting owner or owners arrange
the transfer of all the land required either for
the remedial works or the lands outlined in
Schedule uA" of the Flood Control agreement,
whichever is the greater, to the Authority for
a nominal sum.
3. The administrative procedures relating to subdivision and
development control, the issuing of building permits and
inspection of the work by The Metropolitan Planning Board,
The Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority
and the local municipalities be tightened to ensure that
suitable conditions are imposed and implemented to prevent
disturbance of original ground at the top of valley slopes
unless suitable protection is provided. "
- be endorsed in principle and that congratulations be extended to
those responsible for the preparation of the Report and Recommendat-
ions.
