Legal Reference:

Document ID:

Reporting Officer/s & Unit:

1.1     Purpose of Report

To seek Council’s approval to stop approximately 70 m2 of legal road fronting 107 Rogers Road, Napier, and sell the stopped road to the adjoining landowners.                    

 

Officer’s Recommendation

a.       That Council, in accordance with the provisions of Section 116 of the Public Works Act 1981, resolves to stop the road described in the Schedule hereto, and in accordance with the provisions of Section 117 of the Public Works Act 1981 to vest the stopped road to the owners of the adjoining land contained in CFR 95876.

     SCHEDULE

Hawke’s Bay Land District – Napier City

 

Area

Road

Adjoining Land (CFR)

0.0070ha

CHAIRPERSON’S RECOMMENDATION

That the Council resolve that the officer’s recommendation be adopted.

 

1.2     Background Summary

The current owners purchased the lot that became 107 Rogers Road and employed a designer to prepare plans for their new house. Unfortunately, the designer misunderstood the boundary information and placed the new house within one metre of the road boundary. The section encroaches into the current legal turning head at the end of Rogers Road.

 

The owners and Council have entered into an Agreement whereby the Council has agreed to stop the part of the road on which the section is located and sell that part of the road to the owners. The stopped road will then be amalgamated with the owner’s existing land.

Concurrently with this, the Council has obtained replacement land on the other side of the turning head, which will be vested as part of a subdivision. This means that the turning arc will remain the same size as present, but will be slightly relocated.

 

The road stopping effects no party other than the adjoining owners. The land immediately adjacent to the landowners is a public walkway.

 

1.3     Issues

There are no issues.

1.4     Significance and Consultation

There has been considerable consultation with the owners of the adjoining land as well as the landowner opposite to reach a satisfactory conclusion on this matter. There are no other parties involved.

1.5     Implications

Financial

The landowners are purchasing the property at valuation which ensures it is a fair market rate.   The owner of the land across the road has made the re-alignment possible through the subdivision process.  No payment from Napier City Council is required and the land is to be vested in Napier City Council.  There are no further budgetary implications. 

Social & Policy

Not applicable.

Risk

Not applicable.

1.6     Options

The options available to Council are as follows:

To approve the road stopping in accordance with the provisions of Section 116 of the Public Works Act 1981, and to vest the stopped road to the owners of the adjoining land being that land contained in CFR 95876.

1.7     Development of Preferred Option

The stopping of the road and sale to the adjoining owners, along with the relocation of the turning head, provides the only sensible solution to legalise the current situation.

The purpose of this report is to provide Elected Members with an update on the current status of the Triennial Agreement 2016-2019, and the proposals Napier City Council have made towards creating a more meaningful document.

 

At the Meeting

It was clarified that while Iwi are not party to the Agreement as it is specific to local government authorities, they are considered partners and consulted within existing fora.

It was discussed that the Agreement should focus on a few key priorities and do these well, such as the Matariki – Hawke’s Bay Regional Economic Development Strategy and a Regional infrastructure investment fund.  

In response to a question from Councillors, it was advised that opportunities to regionalise water services, might better be approached through shared services or direct infrastructure management, rather than in this Agreement.  The Chief Executive also advised that under section 17A reviews, opportunities to create efficiencies may be identified.
