TOWN OF NEWCASTLE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
Director's Report to Public Works Committee.
Item: Resolution # W-71-79.
Date: November 26, 1979.
Subject: Station Street, Village of Orono.
Background:
On April 3, 1979, Mr. A. McLaren appeared before the Public Works
Committee regarding the alignment of Station Street, Orono, and, as
a result, Resolution # W-71-79 was passed as follows:
"THAT the delegation be acknowledged and the
presentation be referred to Staff and be ex-
amined during road inspection and Staff init-
iate acquisition of Station Street in total
to a width of 50 ft. where possible".
Mr. McLaren stated that the presently travelled portion of Station
Street is, in fact, situated on his lands; the legal boundary of
the street is somewhat to the north of the existing occupied road
allowance.
Report:
A Reference Plan, Number 1OR-1042, has been obtained and Parts 1 and
2 thereon depict Station Street, as mentioned above, together with the
land requirements, northerly, to augment Station Street to a width of
50 (fifty) feet.
Mr. McLaren proposed that, in consideration of the Town acquiring the
relevant area of Station Street, the north-south street to the east
of his property, and Victoria Street which is adjacent to same, should
be closed and conveyed. On Plan 1OR-1042 the lands are depicted as
Parts 6 & 7 (unnamed street) and Part 8 of Victoria Street, as being
those abutting the McLaren property.
A Reference Plan is presently being prepared to establish the right
of way to the west of the area in question, and this should be avail-
able in the very near future.
