AUTHOR:
Janine Ryder- Property Services Agent
SUBJECT:
Proposed Highway Closing and Dedication Removal Bylaw 8059 1300 Block West 1st Street- Land Exchange with Metro Vancouver
RECOMMENDATION:
THAT "West 1st Highway Closure Bylaw 8059 2014" is given FIRST
READING.
REASON FOR REPORT:
"West 1st Highway Closure Bylaw 8059, 2014" will authorize the closure and the raising
of title to 2,906 square feet of road within the 1300 Block of West 1st Street (the "Road
Allowance"), and will authorize the subsequent transfer of the two portions of surplus
road allowance to Metro Vancouver ("Metro Van") for the purpose of consolidation with
the future Metro Vancouver Sanitation Plant property.
SUMMARY:
The District has entered into a Land Exchange Agreement (the "Agreement") with Metro
Van for the exchange of two portions of surplus road allowance with a total area of
2,906 square feet (270 square metres) (See Attachment 1), for 151 square feet of
Metro Van property, required for the Philip Overpass Project. Due to the differences in
the size of properties being exchanged Metro Vancouver will compensate the DNV in
the amount of $137,750. Prior to completing the transaction contemplated in the
Agreement, the District must close to traffic, and remove that dedication of this portion
of road as set out in the proposed Bylaw (See Attachment 2).
BACKGROUND:
At a closed meeting held on March 24, 2014 Council authorised Mayor and Clerk to
execute the Land Exchange Agreement for the exchange of two portions of surplus road
allowance within the 1300 Block of West 1st Street for 151 square feet of Metro Van
property, and a payment of $137,750 payable to the DNV, subject to the required road
closure processes.

------~-------------------------------------------------------
EXISTING POLICY:
Sections 26 and 40 of the Community Charter, governs road closures and dispositions
of municipal land.
Timing/Approval Process:
In accordance with Section 40 and Section 94 of the Community Charter council must
provide notice of its intention to close a portion of Road Allowance. Council must then
provide an opportunity for persons who consider they are affected by the bylaw to make
representations to Council.
Notification for the disposition of the surplus road allowance has already been approved
by Council and will be advertised concurrently.
Concurrence:
The proposed Road Closure has been reviewed and approved by the Finance and
Transportation departments.
Financial Impacts:
Both Metro Vancouver and DNV obtained their own property appraisals and both
appraisers concluded similar industrial land values of approximately $50 per square foot
so the value of the 151 square foot of Metro Vancouver property is $7,650 and the value
of the DNV road allowance is worth $145,400.
Due to the differences in the size of properties being exchanged Metro Vancouver will
compensate the DNV with a balancing of $137, 750. These funds from the disposition
will be deposited into the Land Opportunity Fund.
Liability/Risk:
The portions of Road Allowance do not contain any utilities and are surplus to District
requirements. The Exchange will allow the District to acquire 151 square feet of
property required for the Philip Avenue Overpass.
Public Input:
There will be opportunities for public input on this application before the adoption of the
road closure bylaw.
Conclusion:
Staff recommends that Council give the proposed Bylaw 8059 first reading and direct
staff to publish notice of the road closure and disposition in accordance with the
Community Charter.
