6 THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS THAT the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA)-owned land located on the east side of Duffy's Lane, north of King Street, Town of Caledon, Regional Municipality of Peel, be retained for conservation purposes. CARRIED BACKGROUND A letter was received from Pat and Linda Paniccia, requesting the sale of a fragment of TRCA-owned land situated on the east side of Duffy's Lane, north of King Street for an addition to their existing rural residential property. At Executive Committee Meeting #2/08, held on April 11, 2008, Resolution #B28/08 was approved as follows: THAT the potential disposal of a fragment of land on the east side of Duffy's Lane, north of King Street, Town of Caledon, Regional Municipality of Peel, be referred to Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) staff for review and discussion in accordance with established TRCA policies; AND FURTHER THAT a report be brought forward to the Executive Committee at a future date recommending further action. This request was circulated to Town of Caledon and Regional Municipality of Peel staff as well as TRCA staff for review and comment. The following comments have been received: Town of Caledon staff This parcel of land will be subject to a significant road widening (7 metres +/-) required for the future Bolton Arterial Route (BAR). As construction of this portion of the BAR is a Region of Peel project, Regional Municipality of Peel staff should be contacted for more detailed information. Regional Municipality of Peel staff A road widening requirement is required in connection with the future Bolton Arterial Route (BAR) project. At this point in time, only the Environmental Assessment has been completed for this project. The detailed design has not yet commenced. The Region of Peel is requesting that TRCA delay its decision regarding this property until the detailed design is complete to the point that property impact can be determined; it is anticipated that this information will be available by the end of TRCA staff The subject site has been identified in the Refined Humber Terrestrial Natural Heritage System (TNH) system as potential habitat and forms part of the land base needed for the Natural Heritage system to achieve TRCA's biodiversity targets. TRCA staff has surveyed this site and collected terrestrial information. The area has been classified as a cultural thicket and provides habitat for some open country bird species of concern (i.e. Field Sparrow, Nashville Warbler and White Throated Sparrow). In addition, the subject area is an excellent buffer for the higher quality natural habitats immediately to the east (i.e. the Humber River valley). 823

7 Not only has this TRCA-owned property been identified as potential natural cover for habitat and an area which could benefit from regeneration in the TNH system, it also currently provides some ecological function that should be protected. Given the fact that a substantial strip of the frontage is required for the BAR and that the property has significant potential for regeneration, staff is recommending that the parcel be retained. A plan illustrating the location of the subject lands is attached.
