REPORT NO.: WD-22-84
BACKGROUND AND REPORT:
Early in 1980, the owners of Part Lot 3, Concession 5,
former Clarke, on application for property access, were
advised that the Town was interested in acquiring
approximately twenty-three (23) feet of property for the
purpose of widening and improving the forced portion of
Concession Road 6.
In 1982, the property changed hands and the new owners, Mr.
& Mrs. Robert MacDonald, knowing of the forced road enquired
as to the Town's intentions in this matter. Mr. & Mrs.
MacDonald were advised that the requirement for a sixty -six
(66) foot road allowance for access was not applicable in
the former Township of Clarke and that there would be no
impediment in acquiring an access to the subject property
from the forced portion of Concession Road 6.
The previous dedication of Part 4, Plan 108881, an
approximate thirteen (13) foot strip of land on the north
side of the forced road, now reduced the Town's requirements
to approximately thirteen (13) feet to bring the road
allowance up to the standard sixty-six (66) feet. Mr. &
Mrs. MacDonald indicated their willingness to sell the
portion of land and complete the transaction in order that
they may proceed with planning their entrance and the
location of their proposed residence.

The MacDonalds, in discussion with Public Works Staff, have
completed an offer to sell. Public Works Staff feel it is a
good opportunity to acquire the land as the acquisition will
assist the department in performing roadside maintenance
activities. The area of land is .214 acres and the offer
to sell is evaluated at approximately $600.00.
Council's favourable acceptance of this report will enable
the transaction to proceed. Subsequently, all costs
incurred would be charged to the appropriate 1984 Public
Works Budget Accounts.
Respectfully submitted,
R.G. Dupuis, P. Eng.,
Director of Public Works.
