On March 4, 1998, Council passed Uy-Inw 4742/96 declaring Lot I, Plen 40M-1457, Pickering, as
surplus to tho needs oF the Town of Pickering in accardance with By-lew 4592l95, subject to ceAain
conditions, one of thosc conditions being that the Town retain the centrel 6m poAfon of thc lot for
walkway purposes and the remelning 4.25m on either side of the walkwny be sold lo the adjecent
owners.
An oppraisal indicated tha value of the property to be 522,500. With the Town retaining Ihe centrel 6 m
poAion for walkwey purposes, tha remaining 4.25m (approximete) an either side of the walkway would
cost 56,688.00.
Ou September 25, 1998 a letler wes fonvarded lo each of the adjattnt owners setting out the terms by
which ttie Town would convey the poAians oP the vecent lot to them al sale price of 56,688.00 plus
disbursements and legal fecs. That lethr also stipulnted ihat, should Mr. Dudhnath and Mr. Crescitelli
wish to purchase the lands, staff would be willing to rccommcnd ro Council thet the Town comribute
50°/a towards iha cost of relocaling the fenco elong the lot line of Mr. Dudhnalh's propeAy and toward
thc installation of a fcncc along thc lot line of Mr. Crcscitclli's property.

cost of constructiqg and Inndscaping a wnikway at this lacation is estimated at betwcen 520,000 and
525,000. The Towu's oflcr to sell 4.25 mctres of lend to ench nbutting orvncr for 56,688.G0 would net
the Town 513,376, which sum is not sufficicnt to cover Ihe costs of walkwny consiruction. Therefore
addilionel funding would bc required from Ihe Town lo mect costs. AJditional funding has not been
incorporated in the 1998 budget.

Re: Pickering Sale lo Crcscitclli
Lot I, Plan AOM-1457, Pickering
Filc: RE9508
We appreciate your Icttcr of Septcmbcr 25,1998, and wouid likc to rcspond.
H�e would like to purchase the poAion of Lot I, Plen 40M•1457, adjacent to our property at a
purchasc price of 53,000.00 plus disburs�ment anJ legal fecs. Y�'e fecl lliel although it has becn
appraised highor we kcl lhat Ihe approised veluc is not bascd on rcal value. Normal trensuclians
aro based on what e Vendor would be willing lo pay and what a Purchakr wouid be willing lo
er,ccpt.
Although we bcncfit fmm enjoymcnt of thc cxVa land, wc arc eNarc that thc walkwey is olso a
dclrimenl lo our propcAios, having thc possi6ility of noisc et ccrtain timcs, garbaga thrown ovcr
our knces end the fecl we will be paying property lnxes on tho extra portion.
Thc land valuc bascd on zoning is really only bcneficial lo mysclf and our neighbour, es well es
thc wmmunity using Ihc walkway which thcy coNribulc thcir L•�ir lax sharo.
We feel your contribulion of 50%to our fencing should be paA of the transaclion along our fence
linc (not across ihe back). Wc kcl feir markct valuc is morc around 53,000.00 ns staled abave.
Pleasc advise os of your decision.
Thank You, Thank You,
