Director's Report to Public Works Committee.
Item: WD-35-80.
Date: March 4, 1980.
Subject: Road Allowance between Lots 3 & 4, Concession 4,
former Township of Clarke.
Background:
The attached correspondence is requesting that the writer be
allowed to purchase all, or a portion of, the road allowance
between Lots 3 & 4, Concession 4, former Clarke.
Report:
The road allowance is an original allowance for road, and the
current status of same is 'unopened' . It ,cannot be travelled due
to overgrowth, and swamp areas; however, the road allowance has
never been closed by by-law. A Legal Description and Reference
Plan are necessary in order to determine the number of abutting
property owners, and whether all, or parts of, the road allow-
ance could be closed.
Recommendation:
THAT, conditJonal upon the Applicant concurring with Town Policy
relative to the Closure and Conveyance of Road Allowances, a
Reference Plan and Legal Description be obtained, following
which all abutting property owners may be consulted regarding
the proposed closure and possible conveyance and, further, that
conditional upon the majority of owners concurring with such
closure and conveyance, it be recommended that the road allow-
ance in Lots 3 & 4, Concession 4, former Township of Clarke,
be closed and conveyed and, whereas an abutting owner may concur
with the closing but has no interest in the acquisition of same,
then that portion be closed but not conveyed.

Dear Mr. Dunham:
Re: Road Allowance (unopened and untravelled) between
Lots 3 & 4, Concession 4, former Clarke
Approximately two and a half years ago I made a request
to Council that I be allowed to buy all, or a portion of,
the road allowance which abuts my property. At that
time, I understand, there was no formal policy to govern
these matters, and I was advised that I would be informed
at a later date when a policy was established.
I have never received any advice from the Town and am
again asking that consideration be given to the convey-
ance of the road allowance. It is completely impassable
and the southern section is totally overgrown. I am also
concerned that a neighbouring property owner, whose land
does not adjoin the road allowance, has been cutting and
removing wood from the area; he insists he has permission
to, do this, but it is a matter which I feel should be
investigated.
I understand that you will check into the status and
condition of the road allowance and will report on the
matter to the Public Works Committee. I would be very
pleased to attend the next Meeting of the Committee,
which I understand is on Tuesday, March 4, 1980.
Thanking you in advance for your attention and assistance.
Yours very truly, /+
1 M. heuser.
