Chairman and Members of Public Works Committee
H. R. Best, Secretary
SUBJECT: Mr. C. ,laUe and request for road closing between lots
8 and 9, Concession 69 Clarice.
DATE: February 1£, 1976.
We refer to Resolution No. 14-26-76 in the minutes of the
Januar,, 23, 1976 meeting wherein the Committee stated that
they have no objection to proceeding with closing the subject
road and conveying same to abutting landowners provided that
the Region approve of same.
We are attaching hereto a co7T of our letter to Mr. MoIllullen,
Regional llor::s Department, together with a cony of Mr. Miullen's
reply.
In commenting on this situation it would appear that a problem
eF.ists regarding Mr. W. E. Reid's property in lot 9, Concession
6, comprising some 20 acres of pasture land, which land would
be denied access onto a road allowance if the subject road were
to be stopped up and closed.
I+4r. M. D. Brown, O.L.S. has suggested the following solution,
Quote "As the closing of this road allowance might deprive 11r.
Reid of access or frontage on an improved road, it is suggested
that Tor. Reid agree with Mr. Wage to release his claim for Part
9 in return for conveyance from 1,1r. Ways for Part 7 and Part
14.
As Part 14 is Part of Mr. Ways's property, as application to
the Land Division Committee would be necessary to effect this
exchange". _
With reference to Mr. Broem's suggestion, it is our opinion
that f mr. Ways were to apply to the Land Division Committee
for consent to sever Part V! from his property, he would be
required to ')resent document=y evidence to the Committee
that the Municipality intend to proceed with closing the
subject road provided Mr. )lays 's alpiication for severance
ro.*ere a;�nrovad by the Land Division Committee.
2 -
In this respect it would seem reasonable for the Land
Division Committee, if they approved of the severance, to
impose a condition that the severance be granted only if
the I�Tunici-nality were to stop up and close the said road.
In conclusion, we would recommend as follows -
1) If the Public Works Committee approve of the Region's
request for a revision of the east boundary of Part I,
that Mr. M. D. Broim, O.L.S. be requested to revise the
-elan of survey in accordance with the Region's request.
2) That this. Committee recommend that Council proceed to stop
up and close the subject road allovazzce provided that
Part 1!; can be severed from Mr- Wye's property and
conveyed to Mr. Reid, thereby providing Mr. Reid with
frontage and access onto Region Road No.18.
Respectfully submitted.

Dear Sir:

TOWN OF NEWCASTLE
Re; Proposed Closing of Road Allowance between Lots 8 & 9,
Concession 6 in the former Township of Clarke
Further to your request of February 2, 1976, we have reviewed the proposed
road closing. There is one minor access problem relating to landowner
Mr. W.E. Reid. Part 14 on the plan is not a good location for access to
Regional Road 18. A steep upward 3rade to the south creates a sight restriction,
however, since the owner, Mr. Reid, has established use of driveway in this area
now, and assuming we cannot deny that landowner access to an improved road we
would approve of the proposed closure.
The only condition the Region would request, with respect to the proposed road
closure,is a small road widening at the north limit on the east side of Lot 1.
I have enclosed a drawing which outlines the lands in question.
If I can be of any further assistance in this or any other regard, please do not
hesitate to contact me.
