Based on the above, the Planning Division deems the portion of the north/south Daytona Avenue right-of-way, west of 2640 Sorrento Court, south of Grand Marais Road West as shown as “Part 1” on Drawing CC-1763 as “Dispensable”.

It is noted that the MTO acquired a 0.3m wide property located between the MTO fence and the fence encroaching along the westerly boundary of “Part 1” as shown on Drawing CC-1763. This MTO property was formerly within the Daytona Avenue right-of-way. This property was acquired by the province by expropriation plan CE422508.

The recommendation is to close and convey “Part 1” of the Daytona Avenue right-of-way as shown on Drawing CC-1763 of the right-of-way to the applicant.

Risk Analysis:

The recommended closure will divest the City of associated liability risks and maintenance costs.

Financial Matters:

The conveyance cost for this right-of-way be set at $217.55 per square metre.

Consultations:

Consultations were held with Municipal Departments and Utility Companies, which resulted in the information found in attached Appendix “C”.

Public Works – Engineering requested that the subject closure be amended to exclude “Part 2” of the Daytona Avenue right-of-way as shown on Drawing CC-1763.

There were no objections from the municipal departments and utility companies for the requested alley closure.

No easements were requested by utility companies.
