PART A - MATTERS REQUIRING A COUNCIL DECISION
1. BUCKLEYS ROAD - BUS STOP RR 6616
| Officer responsible | Author |
| City Streets Manager | Lorraine Wilmshurst, Area Engineer |
| Corporate Plan Output: Street Markings and Signs 9.6.0 | |
The purpose of this report is to seek Council approval to extend the bus stop at Eastgate Mall.
The Canterbury Regional Council has shifted the "Sections" and timing points for both the inbound and outbound bus from Linwood Avenue to Buckleys Road at, and opposite the Eastgate Mall. This change requires the bus stop at Eastgate Mall to be lengthened to accommodate at least two buses.
There is currently a taxi stand outside Eastgate Mall, then two all day parking spaces, and then the bus stop. The removal of the two parking spaces will allow the bus stop to be lengthened to a distance that will accommodate at least two buses.

The purpose of this report is to start the legal procedures necessary to stop a portion of legal road.
Independent Fisheries have approached the Council and asked if they can purchase the redundant road adjoining the frontage of their property. They are the owners of all land adjacent to the proposed stopping.
Approval in principle was given by the Hagley/Ferrymead Community Board as its August 1997 meeting to dispose of the unformed portion of Staunton and Broad Streets as the land is not required for road purposes.
Easements will be created after a successful road stopping to protect all services.
Negotiations between the Council officers and the adjoining land owners have been satisfactorily concluded subject to a successful road stopping procedure.
City Streets agrees with this proposal.
The plan is attached.
Prior to sale the following resolution is necessary to initiate the stopping action:

Reason for the Road Stopping
The Council has received a request from the adjoining owners for the purchase of the land which is no longer required by Council for road purposes.
Purpose to which the stopped road will be put
The portions of road when stopped, will be sold to the adjoining owners pursuant to Section 345(1)(a)(i) of the Local Government Act 1974 and amalgamated with their certificate of title pursuant to Section 345(2) of the Local Government Act 1974.
The road to be stopped is situated alongside land owned by Independent Fisheries and is 20.12 m in width.

The purpose of this report is to start the legal procedures necessary to stop a portion of unformed legal road alongside the Heathcote River.
The unformed portion of King Edward Terrace between Bamford Street of Staunton Street is shown in the notified City Plan as `road to be stopped'. The Council wishes to develop the area as a riverside reserve and walkway. As this portion of legal road is now redundant for that purpose it can therefore be stopped and declared a local purpose reserve (Esplanade) and held in the name of the Council. All the adjoining owners have been approached and have agreed to the proposal.
The plan is attached.
The land is not formed as road but occupied by the Council and is to be used as a riverbank reserve.
Prior to stopping the following resolution is necessary to initiate the stopping action:
Resolution
Pursuant to the provisions of Sections 319(h) and 342 of the Local Government Act 1974, the Christchurch City Council hereby resolves to stop those unformed portions of road as shown on the plan and described in the Schedule hereto.
Reason for the Road Stopping
The reason for the road stopping is to implement the designation as shown in the notified City Plan and to hold the land for the purpose for which it is being used, ie walkway.
Purpose to which the stopped road will be put
The portions of road when stopped, will be held by the Council pursuant to Section 345(3) of the Local Government Act 1974 as a Local Purpose reserve (Esplanade) and bed of Heathcote River.
The land is situated alongside the Heathcote River and is to be occupied by the Council for a riverside reserve.
Schedule
Unformed portion of King Edward Terrace being all those parcels of land situated in the City of Christchurch and shown as `Road to be Stopped' and described as follows:

The purpose of this report is to start the legal procedures necessary to stop a portion of legal road.
The owners at 190 Hazeldean Road have approached the Council and asked if they can purchase the redundant road widening adjoining the frontage of their property. Under the Council's notified City Plan this land is no longer required for widening purposes and after the necessary road stopping action could therefore be sold.
Approval in principle was given by the Hagley/Ferrymead Community Board at its August 1997 meeting to dispose of the unformed portion of Hazeldean Road as the land is not required for road purposes.
Negotiations between the Council officers and the adjoining land owners have been satisfactorily concluded subject to a successful road stopping procedure.
City Streets agrees with this proposal.
The land is not formed as road but occupied by the adjoining owners.
The land is formed as a car park.
Prior to sale the following resolution is necessary to initiate the stopping action:
Resolution
Pursuant to the provisions of Sections 319(h) and 342 of the Local Government Act 1974, the Christchurch City Council hereby resolves to stop that portion of road as shown on the plan and described in the Schedule hereto.
Reason for the Road Stopping
The Council has received a request from the adjoining owners for the purchase of the land which is no longer required by Council for road purposes.
Purpose to which the stopped road will be put
The portion of road when stopped, will be sold to the adjoining owners pursuant to Section 345(1)(a)(i) of the Local Government Act 1974 and amalgamated with their certificate of title pursuant to Section 345(2) of the Local Government Act 1974.

The purpose of this report is to start the legal procedures necessary to declare a portion of road as a Limited Access Road.
Humphreys Drive between Linwood Avenue and Ferry Road is shown in the notified City Plan as being a Limited Access Road. The purpose of the designation is to restrict the number of crossing places in this section of road to an absolute minimum for traffic safety reasons.
It is now appropriate to start proceedings to declare all of Humphreys Drive as a `Limited Access Road'.
The following resolution should be adopted to commence the special order proceedings necessary to change the status of all of Humphreys Drive.
