Report No.: CRPS 06-022
Subject: PROPOSED CLOSURE OF DELTA STREET -SCHEDULE
"B" CLASS EA STUDY
RECOMMENDATION:
That Council approve the closure of Delta Street from Floral Crescent to Sydney Street.
REPORT:
Please find attached a report from MTE Consultants, which has been reviewed and
supported by Property Management Committee and Asset Management Committee.
In late 2004, staff were approached by owners of Rockway Holdings Inc. to consider
closing Delta Street to allow the sale of the lands to adjacent property owners. They
indicated that they are considering a residential development and that they felt that
owning frontage onto Rockway Golf Course would be an asset for marketing of their
development.
Staff retained MTE Consultants to undertake a Schedule "B" Class Environmental
Assessment to study the proposal, to engage nearby property owners and to solicit their
comments on the proposal to close Delta Street and sale of surplus lands. The report
contains a recommendation to close Delta Street.
If Council approves the recommendation, a "Notice of Completion" will be advertised in
the K-W Record on February 17, 2006. The public has an additional (30) thirty days
from this notice to question or try to stop the process.

If all issues are satisfactorily addressed and no MOE orders as a result of appeals are
received after the 30 day period, the report is considered approved. At that stage staff
would report to Council proposing to move ahead with the By-law for road closure and
other related issues to allow for sale of lands and redevelopment as a consequence.
In addition, the City owns a 20 foot wide strip immediately adjacent to Delta Street. I will
be reporting later to propose these lands be declared surplus to the City's needs so that
these lands can be sold in conjunction with portions of Delta Street.
