The Board reports that:
PART A - MATTERS REQUIRING A COUNCIL DECISION
| 1. | 126 OFFICE ROAD -PROPOSED STOPPING OF LEGAL ROAD | RR 5740 |
The purpose of this report is to gain approval from the Council for the Board's recommendations regarding the disposal of legal road.
(a) 126 AND 124 OFFICE ROAD
The Board considered a report from the meeting of the Merivale Joint Working Party which considered the opportunity for use of the redundant road widening strips on Office Road. It was strongly recommended, by the Working Party, that the Council retain the land outside Nos. 126 and 124 Office Road for future landscaping purposes.
(b) OTHER OFFICE ROAD PROPERTIES
The Board through its Redundant Road Widening Committee had earlier considered other properties along the south side of Office Road and a plan of this area is attached.
At the July 1997 Board meeting, and later at the July Council meeting, a recommendation "That the disposal of the legal road fronting 92 Office Road be approved should a future application for purchase be received" was adopted. The Board reconsidered this outcome in the light of the recommendations from the Merivale Joint Working Party and decided that the land fronting should be retained.
One other area which has been referred to is that currently fronting Nos. 100, 104 and 108 Office Road. This is often used for casual parking purposes. It is relevant to note, however, that No. 104 is legally owned but not occupied. The Board considered the opportunity for the use of the land area between No. 100 and 108 Office Road.
