Report No.: CRPS 06-094
Subject: DECLARE LAND SURPLUS TO THE CITY'S NEEDS -
PARTS 2, 3 AND 4 OF 58R-1054 - SHELDON AVENUE
NORTH
RECOMMENDATION:
That Parts 2, 3 and 4 of 58R-1054 be declared surplus to the City's needs; and,
That the land be conveyed to the registered owner of lands immediately adjacent for fair market
value and including incidental costs associated with the transaction; and further,
That the Mayor and Clerk be authorized to execute the necessary documentation to complete
the conveyance.
BACKGROUND:
Staff reported to Council in Report CRPS 05-164 to declare a portion of these lands surplus with
a view to convey the said lands to the neighbouring property owner for the purposes of
development. The remnant parcel is encumbered with substantial pipes; therefore, the City
proposed to retain these lands for ongoing maintenance of the sewers.
REPORT:
In ongoing negotiations with the neighbour, it became apparent that in fact, it would be in the
City's best interest and the neighbouring property owner's to consider the conveyance of the
entire parcel.
City engineers are satisfied that retaining an easement over the lands to the east of Part 2 on
the draft plan herewith attached will meet their future needs to maintain the pipes. The City has
retained Mr. Peter Benninger to negotiate the sale of the encumbered and unencumbered parts
to ensure that the City gets fair market value.
