Subject:Road Closure and Declaration as Surplus--Stub-end of Felan Crescent
(Rexdale Thistletown-Ward 5)
Purpose:
To obtain authority to stop up and close the north stub-end of the road allowance and declare surplus to City requirements
property described in this report.
Funding Sources, Financial Implications and Impact Statement:
Revenue will be generated from the eventual sale of these lands.
Recommendations:
It is recommended that:
(1)the property described as Part of Lot 34, Concession A, formerly in the City of Etobicoke, now City of Toronto, being
the unused north stub-end of the Felan Crescent road allowance, comprising an area of approximately 656 m² (2,152 sq.ft.)
be declared surplus to City requirements;
(2)the Commissioner of Corporate Services be directed to give notice to the public of the intention to stop up, close, and
sell the unused portion of the road allowance and declaration as surplus;
(3)the Commissioner of Corporate Services be directed to offer the property for sale to the abutting owner at 2435
Kipling Avenue; and
(4)the appropriate City officials be authorized and directed to take the necessary action to give effect thereto.
Council Reference/Background/History:
The subject property is vacant land located at the north end of the Felan Crescent road allowance, near the south-west
corner of the intersection of Kipling Avenue and Albion Road, in the former City of Etobicoke. The abutting owner is
proposing to sever a portion of his adjacent apartment building site at 2435 Kipling Avenue for purposes of creating a
townhouse development site, and has requested that the City take the steps necessary to sell the City-owned stub-end of
Felan Crescent so that it can be assembled with his property.
Comments and/or Discussion and/or Justification:
The subject property, although part of the road allowance and shaped like a typical cul-de-sac turning circle, has never been
used as such and there is currently a barricade at the north limit of the traveled portion of the 20 m (66') wide road.
A poll was taken to determine if there exists any municipal interest in retaining this property and no interest was expressed
in this parcel of land.
Conclusion:
The property is not required for municipal purposes and should be declared surplus and conveyed to the abutting owner.
