Report
no: HCC2017/3/79
Granting of Easements
over Local Purpose Reserve (Road), Wise Street, Wainuiomata
Introduction
1. This brief report
will ensure that formal legal access over Council owned land is registered on
new titles to be issued for the development of properties at the end of Wise
Street in Wainuiomata.
|
Recommendation
That Council grant easements for rights
of way, rights to drain water and sewage, and rights to convey water,
gas, electricity and telecommunications over the Hutt City
Council owned Local Purpose Reserve (Road), being Lot 10, DP 336174, situated
at the end of Wise Street, Wainuiomata, in favour of Lots 1 and 6 DP 302320.
|
Background
2. It has recently
come to light that two properties at the end of Wise Street, being Lots 1 and 6
on DP 302320, which are being subdivided for residential development, do not
have registered rights of way and other easements over part of the land on
which access to the properties is provided. This land is a Hutt City Council
owned local purpose reserve for roading purposes, which will in time be vested
as legal road. A plan showing the two properties (green) and the local purpose
reserve (pink) is attached as Appendix 1.
3. The rights of way
and other easements are required to be granted for the two properties to enable
the subdivision to be legally effected. Hutt City Council as the owner of the
land has the delegated authority under the Reserves Act 1977 to grant the
rights of way by way of resolution.
4. Easements for
rights of way, right to drain water, right to drain sewage, and rights to
convey water, gas, electricity and telecommunications were included in
easements noted on Survey Plan DP336174 when the area was further subdivided in
2004, but were never registered on the two affected titles.
5. Other adjacent
property owners to the local purpose reserve already have these legal rights
over the reserve, so this resolution will ensure all property owners have the
same legal rights.
