(b) Report from Anne Levac, Planning Department, re: Closing of unopeued road allowance
Lindsay Mills referred to the request for approval in principle to close a portion
o^funopened road allowance on Sleeth Lane. He c.rculated aerial photos to Council ofSleeth Lane which is owned by the township but is not assumed or
maintained. The request is to close a portion of the Township owned but not assumed _lane and join two properties owned by the applicant. He noted that
other residents use this unopened road allowance to access their island property, but they could still be given an easement over it if it was to be closed. There appeared to be an existing structure close to the lot line but it was not clear as to who owned this structure and whether it is on the road allowance or not.
Lindsay Mills stated that a survey would confirm this uncertainty and if it is on the applicant’s property it will need to be removed.
Hope Knox, owner, indicated that she had been told that the structure used to
be a shed but has been turned into a cottage over the years. She was uncertain
as to who owned the properly but that someone does utilize the building during the summer.
Lindsay Mills stated that he had conducted a site visit and he noted that the 9-1-
1 a-ddress at the cottage indicates that it is owned by a Mr. Campbell but in
reality this address applies to the large portion of land to the west. He stated that if this structure is on the road allowance then it is a separate issue from the request made by Knox and Maiden.
David Hahn was concerned about the other structure and questioned squatter’s rights. He questioned if the lane was on the road allowance.
Lindsay Mills stated that the air photo indicates that the lane is on the road allowance.
Del Stowe stated that in principle he was in favour of the request. Larry York stated that he was familiar with this property and that people have been using the road allowance for years at the turn around and that a survey
would confirm all the uncertainties.
Del Stowe stated that if the entrance is on the owners property, then a bunk
house would be allowed or if a garage door was added it could be considered an accessory building.
Lindsay Mills stated that he felt this structure was partly on the applicant’s property.
Jim Hicks questioned the closing of unopened road allowances leading to water. Mayor Davison confirmed that this road allowance runs parallel to the water.
Ron Vandewal stated that he would like to defer this until the need for a survey is addressed.
Larry York asked where the proposed garage will be erected. Hope Knox confirmed that the proposed garage will be built on the other side of Sleeth Lane.
David Hahn felt it should be deferred only if the structure is on township property.
Mayor Davison agreed that an accurate survey with a plot plan of structures is needed. He suggested that a motion to defer this resolution be prepared.
