PROPOSAL TO PASS A BY-LAW TO STOP-UP,
CLOSE AND SELL THE LANE WEST OF 2620 ST. CLAIR AVE. W.
Ward 27, York Humber.
Commissioner of Corporate Services
(May 14, 1999)
Purpose:
To authorize the stopping-up, closing, and offering for sale the lane between Lots 73 & 74 on Plan 1665, west of 2620 St.
Clair Avenue West.
Financial Implications:
The City will realize revenue from the eventual sale of these lands.
Recommendations:
It is recommended that:
(1)the lane between Lots 73 & 74 on Plan 1665, shown hatched on the attached plan, be declared surplus to City
requirements, stopped-up, closed, and offered for sale to the abutting owner/s, subject to the reservation of any necessary
easements for municipal services or public utilities;
(2)the appropriate City officials be authorized to give notice to the public of the intention to stop-up, close, and sell the
subject lane; and
(3)the appropriate City officials be authorized and directed to take the necessary action to give effect thereto.
Background:
The subject property is in the former City of York.
The abutting owner at 2620 St. Clair Avenue West has requested that the City take the steps necessary to sell the lane so
that it can be assembled with his adjacent holdings. The same owner holds property to the east and west side of the lane.
Comments:
In 1993, the former City of York received a formal application from Zdeno Cycle Warehouse Ltd. to purchase the lane
immediately west of its property. It appears that this file was not processed to its conclusion. Zdeno Cycle Warehouse Ltd.
have recently advised that they are still interested in acquiring the lane.
The lane measures approximately 4.57 m (15 feet) x 11.13 m (36.52 feet) irregular and has been used exclusively by Zdeno
Cycle for outdoor storage for several years.
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 sold to the abutting owner/s.
