is scheduled for 1993 in the approved 1992 Capital Budget and
Four Year Forecast.
2 .2 This project requires the purchase of land on the east and
west sides of Mearns Avenue and on the south side of King
Street east as illustrated on Attachment No. 1. The land from
John and Carol Sornberger has been purchased, and an agreement
has been reached with Sibjel Investments Limited.
2 .3 In March, 1991, Council approved proceeding with expropriation
of the land required on the east side of Mearns Avenue from
the owners of the Bowmanville Zoo. That expropriation is now
in progress .
3.0 REVIEW AND COMMENT
3 . 1 At the time of proceeding with the expropriation from the
owners of the Bowmanville Zoo, we thought we had an agreement
with Manulife; however, although we feel we have agreed to all
of their requirements, we are unable to obtain an Offer to
Sell from Manulife.
3 .2 In order to be in a position to proceed with the
reconstruction of King Street and Mearns Avenue in 1993, it
is now necessary to proceed with expropriation from Manulife
for the widening required.
Respectfully submitted, Recommended for presentation
to the Committee,
Walter A. Evans, P.Eng. , Lawrence Kotseff,
Director of Public Works Chief A in strative Officer
