REPORT NO.: EGD-033-11 PAGE 2
1. BACKGROUND
Orono Fish & Hunt Club is the owner of a property located in Lot 33, Concession 7,
in the former Township of Clarke. The property is situated on the west side of an
unopen municipal road allowance. Orono Fish & Hunt Club (OFHC) wishes to
purchase a portion of the unopen road allowance, which fronts on their property, in
order to construct a noise berm. The legal closure and the conveyance of that
portion of the unopen road allowance to the Orono Fish and Hunt Club will allow
them to construct the berm in the most advantageous location.
There is one property adjacent to the road allowance. The owner of this property
has been contacted, and they have officially responded that they have no objection
to the road closure and conveyance to OFHC.
2. POLICY AND PROCEDURE
Under the Municipal Act, the Municipality must give notice of its intention to pass a
by-law to close a portion of road allowance. Under the Municipality's Policy and
Procedure, the Municipality must circulate the application to all appropriate parties
(Agencies and Utilities), hold a public hearing and, if Council approves, pass a by-
law closing the portions of the road allowance and a by-law conveying the property.
The applicant will be responsible for appraisal, advertising, survey, legal and land
costs.
3. CONCLUSION
The Director of Engineering Services has determined that a portion of the road
allowance situated between Lot 32 and 33, Concession 7, Former Township of
Clarke is not required for the municipal road network. It is therefore recommended
that the closure and conveyance be approved in principle and that staff be directed
to process the application. The matter will be brought back to a future Council
meeting at which time a public meeting will be held prior to Council's final decision.
