Higginson, Public Works Committee, by Resolution # W-192-80, agreed to close and convey the road allowance abutting their property located in Lots 6 & 7, Concession 4, former Township of Darlington. Upon the acquisition of a Reference Plan (10R-1250) it was found that there are two pipeline crossings over the road allowance in question and, thus, the Companies involved were contacted for their comments relative to the proposed disposal of the road allowance. Both Interprovincial Pipe Line Limited and TransCanada Pipelines acknowledged and agreed to the proposal and, with their replies, enclosed standard pipeline crossing Agreements in order that their rights-of-way over the road allowance would be protected. (These, or similar, Agreements are already in force in respect of privately-owned lands adjoining the subject road allowance) . The abutting owner to the south of the road allowance is the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority, which has indicated it's concurrence with the closure and conveyance, by Resolution �t WD-58-81 (2) No. 69, as follows: "THAT the Authority approve of the conveyance of Parts 6, 7, 8 & 9, Plan 1OR-1250 at nominal cost. THAT the Authority adopt a project to acquire the abutting road allowance from the Town of Newcastle to increase the Authority's holdings at the Stephen's Gulch Conservation Area; THAT the Authority request the approval of the Minister for this project, and that a grant in the amount of 55% of the total cost be requested; AND FURTHER, that the Regional Municipality of Durham be levied the Authority's share of the cost". The actual value of the Parts to which the abutting owners are entitled are as follows: Parts 1, 2, 3 & 4 $705. 00 (Locke) Part 5 $1,050. 00 Hi ( gginson) Parts 6, 7, 8 & 9 $1,755. 00 (C.L.O.C.A) It is suggested that this matter can now be drawn to a con- clusion, in accordance with the foregoing, and the Town may execute the Pipeline Crossing Agreements with the appropriate companies, and dispose of the road allowance between Lots 6 & 7, Concession 4, former Darlington, more particularly defined on Plan IOR-1250, in accordance with Town Policy and procedure.
