This building site is an illegal non-conforming use and is not included in the appraised value.: 2.3 Services to the property include hydro, telephone and water. 3.0 ZONING 3.1 The subject property is zoned Rural Cluster Exception (RC-1) on the west side of the property and the remainder is Agricultural Exception (A-1) Zone, according to the Town's Zoning By-law #k84-63. 3.2 The existing zoning by-law would not permit development of the subject site. The most logical use is as add-on or contributory land to the adjoining lands. X79 Page 3 WD-30-89 3.3 RC-1 Zone requires a minimum lot area of 2500 square metres and minimum frontage of 50 metres. 4.0 HIGHEST AND BEST USE 4.1 The road allowance site divides the entire property and the part fronting on Mill Street is central to an economically feasible development of the entire property. 4.2 The land north and south of the property is vacant, undeveloped land. The addition of the western portion of the subject site to the vacant lands adjoining provides the entire parcel with the ability to create an additional lot with 50 metres of frontage. 5.0 VALUE OF LAND 5.1 The value of the land established by Property Valuators and Consultants was determined as follows: The square footage of the entire property including Blocks K and 0 and, the road allowance is 235,224. The price is $295,000 or $1.25 per square foot. The subject site contains 26,136 square feet for a total gross value of $32,700 . Adjustments are made such as cost of acquisition, _ appraisal fees., etc. to determine the Net Adjusted Value and subsequently the market value. 5.2 The calculations are set out as follows: Gross Value $32,700 - Adjustments: Costs @ 20% $6,500 Developer's profit 6,500 Risk and excess land 3,300 Total adjusted:•value 16000 Net adjusted value $16,400 The market value of the subject property as if vacant, as of October 19, 1988, is, therefore estimated as $16,000. (rounded) Page 4 WD-30-89 6.0 SUMMARY i 6.1 The applicant has satisfied all the conditions for road closure and conveyance in accordance with Town Poicy. 6.2 The Public Works Department has determined that the road allowance is not required by the municipality as part of the Town's road system. 6.3 The value of the lands established by Property Valuators and Consultants seems reasonable particularly since the parcel of land (road allowance) on its own can not be developed under the present zoning regulations. If the said road allowance were conveyed and joined the abutting lands under one title, one lot would be created 180.4 metres in frontage by 120 metres in depth, and subsequently three lots could be severed. 7.0 RECOMMENDATION 7.1 It is, therefore, recommended that as the land is of no foreseeable use - to the Town, and since conveyance will free the Town from any future responsibility, closure and conveyance is recommended in accordance with Town Policy.
