REPORT MEETING TYPE: Public Hearing TO: Mayor and Council FROM: Jamie Robinson, MCIP, RPP Planning Consultant, MHBC Planning Limited DATE: April 19, 2017 SUBJECT: RP-2017-049 - Road Allowance Closure and Sale Application - Michieli TITLE: Road Allowance Closure and Sale Application - Michieli RECOMMENDED MOTION - COUNCIL MEETING THAT Council authorize the passing of By-law No. 32-17, being a By-law To Permanently Close, Declare Surplus and Authorize the Sale of a Highway of the Municipality of Sioux Lookout. RECOMMENDATION: THAT Council receives the Report dated March 24, 2017, respecting Road Allowance Closure and Sale Application for Mr. Robert J. Michieli. PURPOSE: To authorize the closure and sale of shoreline road allowance more particularly described as: PT RDAL IN FRONT OF MINING LOCATION RJ 10 DRAYTON, NOW IN FRONT OF LT H PL M259, PT 1 23R 14504; MUNICIPALITY OF SIOUX LOOKOUT; BEING ALL OF THE PIN 42042-1373; and abutting the property locally known as 557 Highway 72.

BACKGROUND: An offer to purchase the shoreline road allowance as described above has been received from Mr. Robert J. Michieli. It is Mr. Michieli s intention to use the additional land to expand the existing property to have undisturbed access to the shoreline area and to have an opportunity to maintain the shoreline area and yard to the high water mark. It is noted for Mr. Michieli that one of the principles of the Official Plan is to protect the integrity of the natural environment. As such, Mr. Michieli should be encouraged to maintain the area between the dwelling and shoreline in a natural state. Mr. Michieli also owns the adjacent property locally known as 555 Highway 72. The shoreline road allowance has already been purchased abutting the adjacent property at 555 Highway 72. The subject lands, being the portion of the shoreline road allowance abutting 557 Highway 72, are shown in Figure 1. Figure 1: Subject Lands - See Figure 1 Subject Lands Attachment DISCUSSION: ROAD ALLOWANCE SALES POLICY The Road Allowance Sales Policy states that shoreline road allowances will only be sold to owners of abutting land. In light of the fact that shoreline road allowances are primarily utilized by the abutting landowner, Council generally entertains requests to purchase shoreline road allowances within the Municipality. In accordance with the Policy, if an addition of a shoreline road allowance to the upland parcel will result in a significant increase in value (i.e. could result in the creation of an additional lot in the future or facilitate development on an existing undersized lot) road allowances leading to the water will be subject to one appraisal. Otherwise the current administrative fee will be charged for the disposition of a road allowance. Current practice is to charge only the administration fee for the cost of the land to recover the administrative costs of processing applications, unless the transaction will result in a significant increase in the value of the upland parcel, then market value for the land would apply. DISCUSSION The closure and sale of the shoreline road allowance abutting 557 Highway 72 will add additional lands to the overall holding, but is not necessary for the future development of the property.

The Tariff of Fees By-law provides guidance for the sale of shoreline road allowances. The consideration to be applied for a sale/purchase is either Fair Market Value, if the addition results in a significant increase in value, or $1,000.00. Additionally, the purchaser is responsible for all survey costs, legal fees and registration costs. An additional administration fee of $1,000.00 is paid by the purchaser to cover the cost of advertising and staff time to process the application. Council has the option of requiring a market value appraisal if they feel that the addition of the shoreline road allowance will substantially increase the value of the lot. The applicant would be responsible for the cost of the Market Value Appraisal. In this case it is recommended that the standard sale/purchase price of $1,000 be applied to this sale. This small addition should not add a significant increase in the value of the upland parcel. RELATIONSHIP TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN: Strategic Direction 1: Community Development. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: The entire cost to purchase the shoreline road allowance is the responsibility of the applicant and the purchaser is responsible for all survey costs, legal fees and registration costs. An additional administration fee of $1,000.00 is paid by the purchaser to cover the cost of advertising and staff time to process the application. The revenue from the sale would be, as recommended, $1,000.00. SIGNATURES: Ann Mitchell Chief Administrative Officer Page 36 of 96
