December ist, 1975

Administrator advised that nothing illegal has taken place to this point
as the house was previously located on the large parcel of land extending
right out to Chester Street; however, in order to sell this parcel the
Department wants a subdivision so it can dedicate the portion required
for road. Alderman Mabbett stated he felt the house re-location was

done prematurely; however, Alderman Thompson stated it was his understanding
(re-affirmed by the Senior Building Inspector) that as the Department
owns the land they can move the house around on the land as they choose -
the only thing they won't do whether the house is there or is not

there - is dedicate the portion of those lots necessary to construct the
Shaughnessy crossing. The City Engineer commented that often properties
purchased by the Department of Highways are not cleaned up by subdivision,
but a charge is put on the properties at the Land Registry Office that
would not show on any registered plan. In this case, they have agreed

to build the road as part of the interesection work but this section is
not going to be arterial highway -but will instead become City street

and it is for this reason that they want to clean up by means of a
registered subdivision what they have already done. Alderman Laking
inquired why the plan was not submitte3 to Council for relaxation prior
to application for subdivision and the City Engineer explained that the
plans were received and presented to Council the same as in every other
case. Alderman Keryluk stated he would not do anything to jeopardize

the construction of Shaughnessy through to Chester and completing the
Lougheed-Shaughnessy intersection which is being done for the City's
benefit. Mr. Robinson stated he was concerned with respect to Lot 49 as
according to his plan the Department is going to bring the highway in
there 28' on the existing property line the houses are set in 30' ~ and

on the Southern extremity of his property (Lot 48) - they are going to

take off 12'; however, they originally told him they were going to take

Lots 49-51 and the houses would be done away with entirely. Alderman
Thompson commented that the Department of Highways is continuing its
negotiations on a person to person basis and to his knowledge the people
involved have been reasonably satisfied; further, he stated he was very

reluctant to set into discussions between the Department and private

citizens.
