Executive Summary: Staff have received a letter from Murray Stroud, Solicitor for John Woitzik requesting that the City accept a conveyance of a portion of Mr. Woitzik's property. Mr. Woitzik is interested in severing the property and by conveying the Part 4 lands to the City, the usual severance process would be unnecessary. Acquisition of the property would expand the City's ownership of the open space system in this area, currently identified in the City's Official Plan. Financial Implications: Cost to City: Nil 1.0 Background: Staff have received a letter from Murray Stroud, Solicitor for John Woitzik requesting that the City accept the conveyance of a portion of Mr. Woitzik's property for nominal consideration ($2.00). Mr. Woitzik wishes to sever the lands into two parcels and conveyance of the Part 4 lands to the City would eliminate the need for land severance through the Durham Land Division Committee. City staff have reviewed this request and support the acquisition of this parcel as it would provide an extension to the open space system currently identified in the Official Plan. The City currently owns an open space block immediately south of the subject property and additional open space lands one property north of the subject property (see Attachments #1 and #2).
