Exchange of Reserve Land, <strong>28</strong> May <strong>2013</strong><br />
Risks<br />
P/.L PageS<br />
There is a risk that this decision will be seen as setting a precedent, and that other<br />
property owners on Mahoe Street will demand direct access to Crown Road. Any further<br />
proposals would need to be considered on their own merits given their existing access<br />
provisions.<br />
OPTIONS<br />
Analysis of Options<br />
Option 1. Pass the resolution to request the exchange of reserve land<br />
Advantages<br />
Permanent and clear cut solution<br />
Will facilitate contractual arrangements<br />
for the disposal of 6 Mahoe Street.<br />
Utility reserve will be widened, and will<br />
be landscaped and maintained by the<br />
owner of Lot 9<br />
This decision would be consistent with<br />
the previous decision of <strong>Council</strong> in<br />
March to support the proposed<br />
exchange in principle subject to the<br />
outcome of the public notification<br />
process.<br />
Option 2. Decline to pass the resolution<br />
Advantages<br />
No further cost to <strong>Council</strong><br />
Discussion of Options<br />
Disadvantages<br />
There are some costs associated with the<br />
processes<br />
. Other property owners who back onto Crown<br />
Road may approach <strong>Council</strong> for similar<br />
rights which would require <strong>Council</strong>'s<br />
consideration.<br />
Disadvantages<br />
The sale of Lot 9 would in all likelihood not<br />
be as straightforward as access to Crown<br />
Road will not be achieved<br />
This decision would not be consistent with<br />
the previous decision of <strong>Council</strong> in March to<br />
support the proposed exchange in principle<br />
subject to the outcome of the public<br />
notification process.<br />
As there were no objections to the proposed exchange of land, and <strong>Council</strong> had previously<br />
supported it in principle, option 1 is the preferred option.<br />
CONSULTATION<br />
Consultation has been carried out in accordance with the Reserves Act and no objections were<br />
received. As no hearings are required, <strong>Council</strong> may now pass the resolution that was notified for<br />
submission.<br />
COMMUNICATION/MEDIA<br />
No further media communication is proposed.<br />
CONCLUSION<br />
As there have been no objections to the proposed exchange, the recommended action is to<br />
proceed with the exchange process. This will require authorisation of the exchange by the<br />
Department of Conservation, and subdivision of both parcels of land to create the areas that are to<br />
be subject to the exchange.
