Question: A developer plans to subdivide a parcel of land in Edmonton. The city requires a 5-meter wide strip along the eastern boundary for a future public utility line. What type of interest will most likely be registered on the subdivided titles to accommodate this requirement?

Answer options: ✅ An easement for utilities.

  • A restrictive covenant limiting development.
  • A caveat by the city.
  • A fee simple transfer to the city.

Correct answer: An easement for utilities.

Explanation: An easement for utilities is the appropriate instrument to grant the city the right to use a specific portion of the land for utility purposes without transferring ownership. Restrictive covenants limit land use, caveats protect unregistrable interests, and fee simple transfer would give ownership to the city, which is not typically required just for utility access.
