Mr. Donald Kerr and Mr. Shaw appeared before the Committee in support
of the proposal development of 200 acres in lots 28, 29 & 30, B. F.
Concession, Village of Newcastle. The development was located south
of the C.P.R. railway .line and comprised some 474 residential lots with
an average frontage of 60 ft. together with industrial sites.

the Lake to provide piped water to the existing Village of Newcastle as
well as to their own development. This they would turn over to the
Town of Newcastle for the sum of one dollar.

Plan as produced by Municipal Planning Consultants.
(2) Mr. David Barber of Municipal Planning Consultants informed the Committee
of certain revisions to the Land Use Map accompanying the Interim District
Plan that had been made since the initial presentation on August 129 1974•
These revisions pertain to the areas, now classified as deferred develop-
ment, which are currently under study by Murray Jones Associates in respect
of the Ontario Housing Action Programme.
He also stated that only those Pits & Quarries which had been licenced by
the Ministry of Natural Resources were shown on Schedule "A1l
Mr. Barber was of the opinion that public comments in respect of the
proposed plan would be received through public meetings and once the plan
was adopted by the Municipality, the approval of the Region and of the
Minister could be expected within 30 days.
Mr. Barber suggested that those areas now classified as "Deferred Develop-
ment" could more appropriately be termed Study Planning Areas.
