SUBJECT: Lot 5, Block ' Z' , Village of Orono. BACKGROUND: The attached correspondence from two owners of property abutting Lot 5, Block ' Z' , Village of Orono, are objecting to the Appraised Value of those lands designated as Parts 1, 2, 3 and 4, on Plan 1OR-1188. At the December 5, 1980, Meeting of the Public Works Committee, an Appraised Value of $2,600. 00 (Twenty-Six Hundred Dollars) was established in respect of Parts 1, 2, 3 and 4, Plan IOR-1188, for the area of land entailed. The unnamed street is 33 ft. in width by, approximately, 166. 75 ft. in length for a total land area of 5,503 sq. ft. REPORT: Attached is a copy of the Policy for the Closure and Conveyance of Road Allowances which was in existence at the time of the initial application for closure. Item 6 of the Policy makes reference to the fact that, in the event of an applicant's refusal to accept the costs involved, no further action be taken. The current Policy for the Closure, or Closure and Conveyance, of Road Allowances (which was brought into effect on September 8, 1980) details, in Item 9, action similar to that described in Item 6 of the previous Policy. In view of Town Policy, the Committee may wish to either recon- sider the Appraised Value or discontinue action in this matter. RECOMMENDATION: THAT the Public Works Committee reconsiders the Appraised Value of the land comprising Parts 1, 2, 3 and 4, Plan 1OR-1188, being Lot 5, Block ' 'L' (Unnamed Street) in the Village of Orono.
