THAT Report ADMIN-31-99 (Attachment No. 1) be lifted from the table; 2. THAT Addendum Report No. ADMIN-31-99 be received; 3. THAT the recommendation to declare the easterly portion of Block 43 in Plan 40M- 11787, the Westlake Subdivision to be surplus be approved; and 4. THAT staff initiate the appropriate procedures for the sale of this property. 1.0 BACKGROUND: 1.1 On November 1 st, 1999 Report ADMIN-31-99 was dealt with at the General Purpose and administration Committee Meeting. The Committee tabled the report for staff to provide comment if the referenced lands are currently being used for soccer and if there is a need for soccer pitches in the Municipality. 2.0 PUBLIC WORKS COMMENTS: 2.1 The open space lands are not being permitted by the Municipality for use as a soccer pitch. The lands are not conducive for use as a soccer pitch for the following reasons: 1. Size and geometrics of site do not permit the construction of a regular (senior size 50m x 100m) soccer pitch, only mini size could be accommodated; 2. Site was not accepted nor designed for use as a soccer pitch, only passive recreational use; 3. The grading and drainage of the area is not ideal; 1301 REPORT NO.: ADDENDUM TO ADMIN-31-99 PAGE 2 4. The area is bound by an open channel and storm water management pond; and 5. Pedestrian access is only available from Solina Road. 2.2 From our discussions with the soccer organizations, there is a need to provide more soccer fields, however, we wish to expand existing parks rather than developing fields in a sporadic manner. 2.3 The expansion of the Solina Park is being considered especially if through the sale of part of the open space lands in question, funds could be directed toward purchasing additional land for expansion of Solina Park and providing additional soccer fields. 2.4 We will be dealing with this matter in the near future as we commence working on next year's capital budget.
