Director's Report to Public Works Committee.
ITEM: W1)-71-80.
DATE: May 21, 1980.
SUBJECT: Road Allowance - Lots 30 & 31,
Concessions 8 & 9, former Clarke.
Background:
The attached correspondence, dated May 8, 1980, requests that the
road allowance in Lots 30 & 31, Concessions 8 & 9, former Township
of Clarke, be closed, and the matter has been referred by the Clerk
for a report and recommendation to this Committee.
A portion of the road allowance in question is closed and, therefore,
consideration could be given to granting the present request.
Report:
It should be noted that, although numerous road allowances within
this Municipality should be closed, road closure is a very costly
procedure; it is suggested that, when requests are for closure only,
and not conveyance of the lands, such action should be applied to
only a selected number annually, for financial reasons.
Recommendation:
THAT, subject to the concurrence of any other abutting property
owners, the road allowance in Lots 30 & 31, Concessions 8 & 9,
be closed.

Dear Mr. McI troy:
My farm is located in lots 30 and 31, concession 8, in the former
township of Clarke. I am writing with respect to the possibility
of closing an allowance which runs between my property on the 9th
line. Perhaps I should say my property runs on both sides of the
allowance and also that one end of the allowance is closed, thus
leaving a cul-de-sac situation which has continued to cause us
considerable concern. The allowance is used as a parking facility
fires have been lit in the evening and of course when Mosport throws
one of its major events, cars are often parked there for a day or mire.
The resulting refuse usually finds its way into my hay fields, usually
empty liquor and beer bottles, garbage etc. . With my cattle on one
side of the road and hay fields on the other, it remains a source or
worry, particularly as I say, during the summer months when activities
at Mosport are in full swing. In the wintertim, the allowance has
been used by s)cidooers who usually end their skidocing activity by
cutting through the fence as they head for the open field. The road ''
runs east and west and as mentioned in this letter, the western end
already is closed as it runs into the private property of Carl Wilson
and has been fenced for the past several years.
If any further inforn-oti.on is required, I would be very pleased to
provide same.
