SUBJECT: Road Allowance - Lots 30 & 31, Concessions 8 & 9, former Clarke (MacKay) . Resolution # W-135-80. BACKGROUND: In May, 1980, a request was received to close the subject road allowance, which is a Concession Road, located as above. The Public Works Con nittee, at the Meeting of May 22, 1980, passed Resolution # W-135-80, as follows: "THAT the recommendation in Repokt WD-71-80 be endorsed and, subject to the concuAunee o4 any other. abutting pAopenty owneu, the noad attowance in Lots 30 8 31, Concels sions 8 9 9, 4oAmen Township o4 CtoAke, be 'ctos ed and conveyed in aeeotcdanee with Town Policy'" As will be seen from (copy) Report WD-71-80, attached, in fact the recommendation was for closure only. The Policy of the Town of Newcastle, at the time of the subject application, did not make provision for closure only of municipal road allowances, but for 'closure and conveyance' . Thus, the above Resolution # W-135-80, was endorsed by Council, albeit it was contrary to the Applicant's request and the recommendation to Committee. REPORT: In consideration of the fact that the road allowance is a Concession Road, and bearing in mind possible future requirements for improvements to the Municipal network of roads, it would not kr be advisable to convey this particular section. RECOMMENDATION: s THAT the recommendation in Report WD-71-80 be endorsed and that the road allowance in Lots 30 & 31, Concessions 8 & 9, former Township of Clarke be cjo�e. , and Resolution # W- 135-80 be amended accordingly.

"CARRIED" TOWN OF NEWCASTLE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT Director's Report to Public Works Committee. ITEM: WD-71-80. DATE: May 21, 1980. SUBJECT: Road Allowance - Lots 30 & 31, Concessions 8 & 9, former Clarke. i 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. CORPORATION OF THE TOWN OF NEWCASTLE ^/ OFFICE OF THE TOWN CLERK 40 TEMPERANCE STREET TELEPHONE 623.3379 BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO LiC3A6 May 12 1980 Mr. Stuart MacKay R. R. #2 Orono, Ontario Dear Mr. MacKay: Thank you for your letter dated May 8 1980, regarding closing of road. allowance. Your letter has been referred to the Director of Public Works for a Report and recormlendation to the Public Works Committee and Council. We shall advise you of action taken in due course. Yours very truly, JMM:nof J�p4b M. Mc oy, A.M.C.T. lerk cc: Director of Public Works r y oao R.R. #2 Orono, Ontario May 8, 1980 Mr. J. McIlroy Town Clerk Town of Newcastle 40 Temperance Street Bowrranville, Ontario Dear Mr. McIlroy: 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 mare. 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 Yosport are in full swing. In the wintertime, the allowance has been used by skidooers who usually end their skidooing 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 information is required, I would be very pleased to provide same. (Yours sincerely Stuart MacKay SM/dmg vz W�ASTI-� YOB OV �� .,
