   GENERAL MANAGER'S  COMMENTS

        The General Manager of Corporate Services RECOMMENDS approval of A

   COUNCIL POLICY

   The Vancouver Charter section 190 (b) authorizes Council to dispose of
   City-owned property deemed to be surplus to the City's needs.

   PURPOSE

   The purpose of this report is to request Council approval to accept the
   offers to purchase City-owned property at 6206 and 6256 Arlington
   Street, 6202, 6260 & 6250 Kings Lynn Street, 3542 & 3512 East 46th
   Avenue, 3537, 3547, 3557 and 3577 Petersham Avenue (Appendix A).


   BACKGROUND

   On January 17, 1995 Council approved in principle to re-subdivide the
   property at 46th Avenue and Arlington Street, and once the subdivision
   was registered and the lots fully serviced, for the Manager of Real
   Estate to sell the newly created lots by tender.

   Forty lots were created, all held in the Property Endowment Fund and are
   zoned RS-1 (one-family dwelling district).

   The lots were advertised for sale by tender with closing dates of June
   24, 1996 for the first 11 lots and August 26, 1996 for the balance. 
   Seven lots were sold and the sales reported to Council for acceptance
   September 10, 1996.


   PRESENT SITUATION

   Further offers are now received and opened every Tuesday at 9:30 a.m. 
   The following offers are deemed to represent current market value and
   are recommended for acceptance by the Manager of Real Estate Services.
