Mayor’s Monday Mailbag – Aug. 8, 2022 – Any Updates on the Building Registration for Tobyn Park Condo?

Welcome to the Mayor’s Monday Mailbag, an initiative Burlington Mayor Marianne Meed Ward and the Mayor’s Office launched to share weekly answers to questions from the public we’ve received through our main email inbox at mayor@burlington.ca or the Mayor’s social media platforms.At the end of the month, we’ll publish a roundup of those most pressing questions we’ve received in the weeks prior.Mayor’s Monday Mailbag – Aug. 4, 2022QUESTION:“Are there any updates regarding the building registration for the Tobyn Park condominium at 4040 Upper Middle Road?”ANSWER:The applicant satisfied all of the City of Burlington's requirements for the condominium application a few months ago. However, the City continues to await the applicant's submission of the final hardcopies of their plans for signature by City staff -- that the applicant then immediately delivers to the Land Registry Office (LRO) for registration.  This has to be done in hardcopy.Prior to submitting their final hardcopy plans to City staff, the applicant has indicated that they are pre-consulting with the LRO about the registration process. They indicated that this process is ongoing and the LRO has a backlog of files due to an unprecedented influx of registrations province-wide.As a result, the delay in registration is not caused by the City, nor is it something that it has control over. This resides with the applicant and LRO.In addition to the above, the Mayor's Office has been in touch with the Office of Oakville North-Burlington MPP Effie Triantafilopoulos, whose riding this building falls under. The Mayor's Office has asked the MPP's office to advocate for a speedy processing of the pre-consultation that the applicant has with the LRO (as mentioned above). We are hopeful that this might assist in expediting the file in order for registration to take place.The Mayor's Office is keeping an eye out for any further updates and will be sure to share any new information as soon as we have it with the residents that have already reached out to us with concerns over this issue.
