REPORT TO THE GENERAL PURPOSE AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE
MEETING OF MARCH 22, 1982.
REPORT NO. WD-20-82.
SUBJECT: ROAD ALLOWANCE BETWEEN LOTS 16 & 17,
CONCESSION 4, FORMER DARLINGTON.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is respectfully recommended:
1 . That this report be received, and;
2. That the southerly 174.79 ft. of the road
allowance between Lots 16 & 17, Concession 4,
former Township of Darlington, be closed by
by-law and conveyed to the abutting owner,
in accordance with Town Policy, and;
3. That the applicant be so advised.
BACKGROUND AND COMMENT:
In December of 1981 the Town was approached and requested to
close and convey a portion of the subject road allowance, in
order that the abutting property on the easterly side would
achieve access onto a maintained road (Green Road) . At the
present time, the existing parcel of land, although abutting
Green Road, does so by only four feet and does not, therefore,
meet frontage and access requirements.
The Planning Department was approached and requested to comment
on the applicant's proposal , subsequently advising that there
were no foreseeable implications, either in closing the southerly
174:19 ft. , or, in fact, in the closure and conveyance of the
balance of the road allowance.
WD-20-82. - 2 _
In order to provide the property with the potential for access
and, ultimately, allow the owner to build a dwelling on same.
it is recommended that the application be approved.
Attached is a sketch of the subject area, outlining the area
in question.
Respectfully submitted,
D.T. Gray, C.E .T.
Deputy Director.

Road Allowance between Lots W& �
Concession 4, former Darlington.
Application to Close & Convey (WILLIS) .
With reference to our letter to Mr. Thomas A. Newman (Dated
February 9, 1982), which was copied to you, could you please
provide any comments you may have on the proposed closure and
conveyance of the small (southerly) section of the subject road
allowance, as indicated on the attached plan of survey.
Also, would you think it would be advantageous to the Town to
propose the closure and conveyance of the entire road allowance?
It appears that the Willis Family is the only abutting owner,
and it hardly seems practical for the Town to retain the lands
in their present state.
I would be very grateful for your input on this matter, and
thank you for your attention.
cc: D.T. Gray.

Dear Sir:
Re: Closure & Conveyance of Road Allowance between
Lots 16 & 17, Concession 4, former Darlington.
Application on behalf of Mrs Annie G Willis
Thank you for your letter of January 28, 1982, enclosing $500. 00
in deposit, on behalf of your client, Mrs. Annie Gertrude Willis,
for the closure and conveyance of a portion of the subject road
allowance.
So far as has been determined to this point in time, you may well
be correct in your assertion that the closure and conveyance of
the small area of the road allowance would not affect any other
property owners and this would, of course, hasten the formal pro-
cedure considerably.
Now that you have filed formal application on behalf of your
client, we will take immediate steps to acquire the necessary
Reference Plan, and request input from other Town Departments
to ensure that the closure and conveyance will be in order with
any future requirements which may be necessary in order to gain
a viable building lot; once these initial stages have been com-
pleted, we shall submit a report and recommendation to the
General Purpose & Administration Committee. The actual timing
is difficult to predict, but I will be sure to advise you as and
when the matter is dealt with- at Committee level .
i
If there is a favourable recommendation to close and convey the
lands, the next step will be the acquisition of an Appraisal of
Land Value; this involves some slight delay and it has been the
Town' s recent experience that it takes approximately two months
to obtain the written Appraisal Report. However, upon -it's
receipt, and the establishment of the value of the land, by
Committee and Council , there only remains the advertising (four
weeks) and preparation and execution of the legal documents. I
think it would be fair to estimate at least six (6) months to
the finalization of the transaction, if approved.
I trust the foregoing is satisfactory but, should you have any
additional concerns or questions, please do not hesitate to
contact this office again.
Yours truly,
V. Haigh (Mrs. )
Secretary.

Dear Sirs: -
Re: Willis and Application for Closure
and Conveyance of Municipal Road
Allowance Between Lots 16 and 17 ,
Concession 4 , Town of Newcastle
(formerly Township of Darlington)
We are solicitors for Mrs . Annie Gertrude Willis
and for the estate of her late husband, Harold Willis, the
owners of Parcels A, B, C, D, E and F as shown on the en-
closed Plan of Survey of Part 'of Lot 15 and 16 , Concession
4 , Town of Newcastle (formerly the Township of Darlington) .
Mrs. Willis is considering the sale of some or
all of the parcels shown on the enclosed survey and in
this connection has engaged the services of Mr. J . Jeron-
imo of W. Frank Real Estate Limited for the purpose of
ascertaining values for the various parcels . We are
advised that Mr. Jeronimo has made certain inquiries
from the Town of Newcastle, specifically Parcel A and
your requirements as to frontage and access in order
to obtain a Building Permit for this particular parcel.
Enclosed please find a photocopy of a photocopy of a
letter addressed to Mr. Jeronimo from your Mrs. Haigh,
dated December 18th, 1981 .
We telephoned and spoke to Mr. Dave Gray on
January 26th, 1982 , who advised that you do not have
formal application forms for the closure and conveyance
of municipal road allowances and that a letter setting
out our request in this regard and details thereof,
would suffice, along, of course, with a cheque for
$500 . 00 .
l rYC'11tr71t `
Page 2, . . . . . . . . . /
Please therefore consider this letter an application
on behalf of our client, Mrs. Annie Gertrude Willis, for the
closure and conveyance of that portion of the unmaintained
road allowance on the westerly boundary of the South 174 .79 '
of Parcel A, shown outlined in Red on the enclosed copy of
the Plan of Survey of Part of Lot 15 and 16, Concession 4 ,
Town of Newcastle.
May we ask you please to take the appropriate steps
to obtain the recommendation of your staff and, in due course,
the adoption thereof by Committee and Council.
In view of the fact that there are no abutting
owners, we presume that no written concurrence with the
closure and conveyance will be necessary and that if your
staff, after considering the matter, approves, you will pro-
ceed with- the placing of a Reference Plan on title and the
acquiring of an appraisal.
May we ask you please to advise as to how long
it will take to process this application, assuming, of
course, that the recommendation of your staff will be
favourable.
We thank you for your co-operation.
Yours truly,

application.

MEMORANDUM
TO: T.T. Edwards, M.C. I.p. ,
Deputy Director of Planning.
FROM: V. Haigh, Secretary.
SUBJECT: Road Allowance between Lots
Concession 4, former Darlington.
(South-west corner of Lot 16) .
DATE: December 18, 1981 .
A request has been received, from Mr. J. Jeronimo of W. Frank
Realty Limited, that access approval be given in respect of the
lot outlined in red on the attached sketch.
Presently the lot has a legal frontage onto the travelled road
of between four and five feet; there is an existing entranceway
(installed by the Town) and for the requirements of this Depart-
ment, an access permit could be approved. However, it is under-
stood that Planning requires a frontage of 150 ft. , onto a
maintained road allowance, prior to the consideration of a building
permit, etc. , and this, of course, the applicant does not have.
It would seem that, rather than require the applicant to upgrade
a section of the unmaintained road allowance abutting the lot,
It would be more simple to allow him to purchase the triangle of '
land (shown in green) between his property line and the presently
travelled road. This would possibly entail the closure and convey-
ance of the whole, road allowance but, so far as this Department
is concerned, we have no plans or proposals in respect of the
unmaintained right-of-way and it may well be advantageous to the
Town to convey same.
Would you please advise Mr. Jeronimo of any terms and conditions
his client would have to meet in order to satisfy the requirements -
of your Department?
Thank you.

Dear Sir:
Re: Road Allowance between Lots 16 & 17, Concession 4,
former Township of Uarlin ton
With reference to your recent enquiry regarding the availability
of an approved Access Permit to your client's property, located
as above, this is to-advise you that the site has been inspected
and, while the existing entranceway would satisfy the requirements
of this Department, there is not sufficient frontage to the
property to meet the requirements of the Planning Department and,
therefore, your client would not be able to obtain a Building
Permit under the existing circumstances.
It is suggested that, rather than submit a proposal to upgrade
the necessary section of the road allowance, it may well be more
economical and satisfactory for your client to submit a formal
application to the Town requesting the closure and conveyance
of that portion of the unmaintained road allowance which abuts
the easterly 174 ft, of the property.
For your information we are attaching a copy of the Town's Policy
in respect of the Closure and Conveyance of Municipal Road Allow-
ances, and we are taking the liberty of circulating your enquiry
to the Planning Department for their input as to all requirements
necessary in order to permit a building on the property.
We trust this will be of interest and assistance to your client
but, should you have any queries on this matter, please do not
hesitate to contact this office.
Yours truly,
