ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT

TO:

Vancouver City Council

FROM:

General Manager of Engineering Services

SUBJECT:

3015 East 51st Avenue
Proposed Closure of a Portion of the Lane
North of East 51st Avenue, East of Lancaster Street

 

RECOMMENDATION

COUNCIL POLICY

The authority for closing and disposing of portions of streets and lanes is set out in theVancouver Charter.

PURPOSE

The purpose of this report is to obtain Council approval to close, stop-up and convey to the abutting owner, a portion of lane, north of East 51st Avenue, east of Lancaster Street.

DISCUSSION

An application has been received to purchase the 10 feet of lane shown hatched on the plan hereto attached as Appendix "A", and abutting Lot 2, Block 3, South East 1/4 of District Lot 337, Plan 9069 (3015 East 51st Avenue). The present width of the lane is 30 feet at this location and our requirement for this lane is only 20 feet. Therefore, the residual strip, 10 feet in width, on the north side of Lot 2 (336 square feet) is no longer required for lane purposes and could be closed, stopped-up and sold to the abutting owner.

The owner of Lot 2 (3015 East 51st Avenue) has agreed to pay $12,000, plus G.S.T., if applicable , for the 336 square feet of lane to be closed. The portion of lane to be closed will be consolidated with the abutting Lot 2 to form a single parcel, to the satisfaction of the Director of Legal Services. The abutting owner is to be responsible for all plans and documents.
