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. I / 2 . . . No. 231(2) It is suggested that the (unnamed) road allowance, shown as Parts 5, 6 and 7, together with Victoria Street, shown as Parts 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12, be appraised and the value of same be established.

Recommendation: THAT Parts 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 of Reference Plan 1OR-1042 be Appraised and that Parts 6, 7, and 8 thereof be closed and conveyed to Mr. A.
