Subject: Declare Land Surplus to the City's Needs -Vacant Land at
South Drive/Glen Road
RECOMMENDATION:
That a parcel of land located at the corner of South Drive/Glen Road, described as Part
1 on Reference Plan 58R-14904 be declared surplus to the City's needs; and,
That the land be offered to Habitat for Humanity at fair market value; and,
That Coldwell Banker Peter Benninger Realty be retained to sell the said land if Habitat
for Humanity declines the offer; and further,
That the Mayor and Clerk be authorized to execute any documentation necessary to
complete the transaction.
REPORT:
In an effort to divest the City of surplus lands that can be developed, City staff have
proposed to sell this property on South Drive/Glen Road. An opinion of value for the
said property was obtained. Notice to the public is given by way of listing on the Council
agenda. No government agencies abut or surround the subject property; therefore no
agencies were notified. The land was offered to the immediate neighbour to add to his
holding, but the neighbour declined. We suggest that the land be offered to Habitat for
Humanity at fair market value. If Habitat for Humanity declines the offer, then Coldwell
Banker Peter Benninger Realty be retained to place the property on the market for sale.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Funds received by this transaction be put into Asset Management Reserve.
