Consideration of an Application to Expand the Boundaries of Lands Presently Zoned "Urban Residential Type Four (R4)" and "Urban Residential Type Two (R2)" to Urban Residential Type One (Rl)", located in Part Lot 14, Concession I, former Town of Bowmanville - Kiddicorp Investments Ltd. The Chairman announced that the Council of the Town of Newcastle would consider the subject application at a later date and that the purpose of the meeting today was to provide the residents of the area, and others interested in the proposed project with an opportunity to make their concerns known to Council. The effect of the application would be to change the zoning on the subject lands to permit the development of Townhouse Units at a reduced density of 35 units per hectare (R4 presently permits 80 units/hal, and alter the distribution of single family and link or semi-detached homes. The rezoning would also facilitate a greater distribution of density. The proposal would also conform with the Town's Official Plan and would result in a plan containing 52 single family homes, 88 link or semi-detached homes, and 144 townhouse apartment units. The Chairman asked if there was anyone present who wished to speak to the application. A number of persons announced by show of hands that they wished to address the Committee on the matter. . . ~ . G.P.A. Minutes PUBLIC HEARINGS - 2 - November 16, 1987 Prior to hearing from the area residents and others, the Chairman asked the Clerk to advise on the manner of notice. In reply, the Clerk advised, that notice had been mailed by prepaid first class mail to the owners of lands within 120 metres of the subject lands on October 8th 1987, that a notice had been posted on the property on October 16th 1987, and that a further revised notice clarifying the intentions of the applicant had been mailed on November 5th 1987. The Chairman called upon persons objecting to the application to presenttheir concerns. Mrs. Lynn Mathews, 83 Waverley Road, Bowmanville, advised the Committee that she was concerned with the density proposed in the plan; traffic volumes on already busy streets; the ability of the schools to handle an increase in students; the possible effect the plan will have upon the value of homes in the area. Mr. J. Nimigon, 50 Martin Road, Bowmanville, advised, that he was opposed to the density of the development; the effect the construction phase would have upon the Martin Road properties abutting the subject lands, and their well and septic systems. He asked whether the developer had considered this problem and would the matter be looked after if the systems went bad. Finally, he stated that the properties were delineated by farm fences and would the developer reinstate the boundaries after construction was completed. Mrs. Eka Vanderkooi,46 Martin Road, Bowmanville, advised that she has resided in the same house for 28 years. The well and septic systems have been trouble free except for a period of 5 to 6 months when Doreen Crescent had been developed a number of years ago. Mr. David McDougall, 58 Waverley Road, Bowmanville, indicated he was concerned about the loss of water in his well. He is also concerned about the increase in traffic volumes and the difficulty there now was in finding adequate parking. Mr. Ted Cornish, 79 Rhonda Blvd., Bowmanville, was concerned about the high density proposed, the lack of a site plan 'til now, and the effect that 35 units/ha would have on the area. Mr. Ralph Tucker, 4 Martin Road, Bowmanville, supported the concerns raised by earlier speakers, and also that his well, which is closely monitored for volumes and purity might be adversely impacted. Mrs. Mary Somerscales, 53 Waverley Road, Bowmanville, concurred with comments of previous speakers. She was also concerned about property values. . . ~ . G.P.A. Minutes PUBLIC HEARINGS - 3 - November 16, 1987 Mr. Gerald Morris, Suite 801, 25 St. Mary's Street, Toronto, M4Y lR2, advised the Committee that he was a solicitor involved in the mortgaging of 50 Martin Road, and wanted to go on record as being concerned about the well water supply for the subject property which could be lost if the aquafier were damaged or interfered with. Mr. Ken Jansma, 38 Martin Road, Bowmanville, supported the concerns raised by earlier speakers. Also concerned about street access, traffic loads, possible loss of well water supply which is checked for purity every four months. School over-crowding was also a matter needing to be addressed. The Chairman called upon those persons in support to address the Committee. Mr. Ray Rigby, Superintendent of Business, (Separate School Board) noted that he was in favour of the development which would provide a second access to St. Stephens School; they were looking for lands for school expansion and provide a traffic pattern which would relieve the congestion on Rhonda Boulevard. Mr. Clifford Chin, R. V. Anderson and Associates, spoke to the question of zoning existing and proposed for the subject parcel. He also advised, that the rezoning would result in a lower density than the density presently permitted under the existing zoning. Further, he advised that there would be three accesses to the development (1 Rhonda, 1 Waverley, 1 Hwy. #2). He also indicated that parkland and a parcel for school expansion were also part of the plan. Mr. Paul Halminen, Kiddicorp Investments Ltd., 30 Caristrap Street, Bowmanville, L1C 3Y7, advised as to the type of construction that would be used in the townhouse units. He indicated that 14 separate buildings with 10 apartments in each would be constructed and that they would be totally fenced off from the other developed areas.
