(3) ITEMS BROUGHT FORWARD (i) District Plan, Town of Newcastle References - 0-74-332Ag P-28-749 P-75-749 P-85-749 P109-74. Brought forward to receive and consider Report No. 1. as prepared and submitted by Mr. Howden, Planning Director, wherein the following recom- mendation was noted. I would recommend that since this Interim Plan does not contain any substantial proposals for future development, particularly development of an urban character, the Committee should deal with it as expeditious- ly as possible and recommend the plan with any desired modifications as quickly as possible. I believe that the approval of an Interim District Plan will be particularly valuable in one important respect. I think that by approving an Interim Plan we can satisfy the need to'get some- thing on the books' to meet day to day needs. This will provide us with a little more time to involve the members of this Committee, and more particularly the general public in the production of the final plan. It will relieve the pressure to push the final plan through with undue haste when the consultants first draft is laid before us.av Mr. David Barber, addressed the Committee and through the use of Coloured maps, defined the various designations of land use within the municipality. In summary Mr. Barber suggested that upon completion of a review of the draft document, he would meet with this Committee to discuss any questions or changes that the Committee may request, Mayor Rickard, Councillor Entwisle and Councillor Wearn spoke to the matter of the Ontario Housing Action Programme and outlined those specific items that had been discussed and resolved at a recent meeting of Council with Mr. Mansen of O.H.A.P. together with their possible effect on future plan- ning and development within the Corporation. They also stated that O.H.A.P. had allocated a sum of at least 3100,000.00 to the Town of Newcastle to assist in the implemetation of this programme. It was the decision of Council to direct these monies towards a detailed planning survey of the Municipality in order to assess the impact of this development (1500 - 2000 houses) on the Town of Newcastle and if found sat- isfactory, to determine those areas most suitable for residential, commer- cial and industrial development.
