Report # 68-Economic Development Committee ••• Various Matters (continued}
(b) Selling Old Waterworks Property (continued}
The Committee recommends that a letter be sent to the L.A.C.A.C. requesting
a report on their proposed study of this property and also that the Clerk
Administrator report to Council on the status of the clearing of the title
of this property by the Town's solicitor.
(c) Markborough Block "A"
Markborough Properties have drawn up a proposal for re-zoning Block "A"
part residential and part commercial and will be presenting this
proposal to the Planning Committee at their June 8th meeting.
2. Proposed Pedestrian Underpass of CNR Railway
As the Committee feels that Council now favours only a pedestrian underpass
to connect the Valhalla subdivision with the proposed new recreational park
in the new Industrial area north of the Legion Hall, the location of this
underpass should be determined as soon as possible.
The Committee Chairman having discussed this matter with the surveyor,
Charles Lloyd of Newmarket, is of the opinion that lot# 25 should be used
on the west side of the railway and also suggested that a second culvert
type underpass could be used to go under the proposed Industrial roadway.
This would allow anyone access from Batson Drive under the railway across
the industrial lands and under the Industrial Roadway to the new
recreational park and would also solve an existing drainage problem.
The Committee discussed this proposal and would recommend that Council give
this matter their consideration as soon as possible as prospective
purchasers of the abutting lands are awaiting this decision so that boundary
lines may be determined.
The meeting adjourned at 6:00p.m.
Stewart: Resolved that the Economic Development Committee Report # 68 dated May
21st, 1981 be discussed item by item and accepted. Jones:
