CL Report No. 55-2011 Tuesday, August 9, 2011<br />
TO:<br />
FROM:<br />
Mayor Weber and Members <strong>of</strong> Council<br />
Carol McKenzie, Clerk<br />
RE: Acquisition <strong>of</strong> Land – Beach O’Pines Plan 25R7873 Part 31<br />
RECOMMENDATION:<br />
That the <strong>Municipality</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Lambton</strong> <strong>Shores</strong> accepts title to Part<br />
31 Plan 25R-7873 from the Public Guardian and Trustee, as<br />
detailed in CL Report No. 55-2011 and that By-law 74-2011<br />
authorizing the acquisition be approved.<br />
REPORT<br />
For several years, the <strong>Municipality</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Lambton</strong> <strong>Shores</strong> has been in discussions with the<br />
Office <strong>of</strong> Public Guardian and Trustee regarding the ownership <strong>of</strong> a parcel <strong>of</strong> land in the<br />
Beach O’Pines subdivision, commonly referred to as the “Green Space”. This parcel <strong>of</strong><br />
land is very important to both the Beach O’Pines and Huron Woods community, and the<br />
consensus is that the optimum situation would be for the municipality to own the land to<br />
ensure it remains in its current state.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Office <strong>of</strong> the Public Guardian and Trustee has <strong>of</strong>fered to sell this parcel <strong>of</strong> land to<br />
the <strong>Municipality</strong> for $ 2.00 on the condition that the municipality (and its heirs,<br />
successors and assigns) agrees to maintain the lands in their natural state for the use <strong>of</strong><br />
the public and will not do or cause to be done any act or thing that will permit the<br />
development <strong>of</strong> the lands. This includes the construction <strong>of</strong> buildings, or structures.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Council approved the acquisition <strong>of</strong> the lands and the condition at the meeting held<br />
the 14 th day <strong>of</strong> June, 2011. Attached is a copy <strong>of</strong> the Deed/Transfer <strong>of</strong> Land and the<br />
enabling by-law for Council’s review.<br />
Respectfully submitted,<br />
Carol McKenzie<br />
Clerk<br />
