Council resolved (Resolution #C-629-83) to refer the letter to the Public Works Department and the Planning Department for review and a report to the General Purpose and Administration Committee. The Planning Department and the Public Works Department have reviewed the matter and are now bringing this report forward for the Committee's consideration. COMMENTS: In his letter, Mr. Major proposed to convey to the Town , that portion of the travelled portion of Station Street which crosses his property, in return for the separation of one (1 ) lot from the subject lands and payment by the Town for the cost of the curb stop for the severed lot. Mr. Major also refers to a settlement reached with Mr. A. Mc Laren regarding the Station Street right-of-way and a commitment made by Council on April , 1979 to acquire a fifty foot (50' ) width of Station Street where possible. With respect to the "commitment" made by Council referred to by Mr. Major in his letter, Staff note that Mr. Major, Mr. McLaren, Mr. E. Woodyard and Mr. M. Brown made a presentation regarding the Station Street alignment to the April 3rd, 1979 meeting of the Public Works Committee. The Committee resolved (Resolution #W-71-79) that the presentation be referred to staff and that staff initiate acquisition of Station Street in total to a width of fifty feet (50' ) where possible. This resolution was subsequently endorsed by Council at its meeting of April 9, 1979 (Resolution #C-391 -79). .. .3/ REPORT NO. : PD-122-83 Page 3 The land Mr. Major proposes to convey to the Town is * indicated on the key map attached to this report. The Public Works Department has estimated that the value of the subject land is approximately Eighteen Hundred Dollars ($1 ,800. ) , based upon an appraisal of the value of similar adjacent lands. Staff note that before the conveyance can be completed however, a survey and reference plan will be required to precisely determine the location of the land to be conveyed, which will be required by the Regional Land Division Committee, in any event, in order to complete the severance. Staff contacted the Region of Durham Works Department regarding the cost of the curb stop for the severed lot. Regional staff estimated the cost would range from Fourteen Hundred and Thirty Dollars ($1 ,430. ) to Fourteen Hundred and Ninety-Five Dollars ($1 ,495. ) ; however, they also noted that the actual cost of the installation could vary from this estimate and that either a refund or further payment could be required after the installation. Based on the above evaluation , Staff are of the opinion that the cost of the land to be conveyed to the Town and the cost of the curb stop for the severed lot are of comparable value. Staff note that the power to grant consents lies with the Region of Durham Land Division Committee and that, with respect to severance applications , the Town of Newcastle is only a commenting agency to the Committee. Mr. Major's land is zoned "R-1 " by By-law 1592, as amended, of the former Township of Clarke. It appears that the severance of one (1 ) lot from his property would be possible within the provisions of the "R-1 " zone. Therefore, staff would be willing to support the severance, conditional upon Health Unit approval of the severance. . . .4/ REPORT NO. : PD-122-83 Page 4 ,�(a� Staff therefore, recommend that Mr. Major be requested to convey the travelled portion of Station Street which crosses his property to the Town of Newcastle and that, in return , the Town will pay for the cost of the curb stop for the severed lot up to the value of Eighteen Hundred Dollars ($1 ,800.) . In addition, the Town will provide comments in support of an application to sever one (1 ) lot , conditional upon Health Unit approval . Respectf y ed, T.T. Edwards, M.C.I.P.
