property acquisition
Different approaches depending on project’s impact on property,
compensation depends on impact:
1
3-year temporary easements for grading and other
construction-related work areas.
2
Permanent easements for future maintenance
of retaining walls, storm-water management
ponds, etc.
3
Partial acquisitions for strip widenings.
· Registered property interests will need to be acquired from
impacted properities. Owners will be notified by York Region staff.
· Other property owners may be asked to sign “Permission to Enter”
authorizations if driveway grading or resurfacing is desired;
generally no compensation for this
