yet spoken to staff on this issue. Mr. Walker explained that there are concerns with
having displays on the on the sidewalk and pedestrian safety. He continued by stating

metres. He added that, if sales and displays were permitted at the front of the store,
there would be a five foot section at the front of the store where merchandise could be
displayed. Mr. Walker noted that they are satisfied with previous discussions with staff
however this is a fundamental issue with Lowes as they want to be able to display their
merchandise in front of the store. He added that this creates a common draw to these
types of stores. Mr. Walker concluded by asking for the Zoning By-law to be amended
as it is presented to allow for merchandise to be displayed on the sidewalk in front of the

Mark Kartusch, local resident, spoke in the opposition to the application. He advised the
Committee that he moved to Newcastle because of the character of the community. Mr.
Kartusch explained to the Committee that he has reviewed the Clarington Official Plan
and subsequent plans which speak to the vision, planning principles and building design
for the Municipality of Clarington. He added that, although he understands growth in the
community, there have been many changes since he has moved to Newcastle. Mr.
Kartusch noted the Gyaltsan family has been very good to work worth. He explained
that a large tree had fallen from Mr. Gyaltsan’s property to his property and Mr. Gyaltsan
took care of the tree immediately. Mr. Kartusch stated that the Municipality needs to
understand the Official Plan and there needs to be a clear vision for Newcastle. He
added that he does appreciate that the developments in Newcastle keep with the
character of the downtown area. Mr. Kartusch stated he does not feel this development
fits in to the design of the area. He noted that the Newcastle Village Secondary Plan
states the maximum height of buildings is four storeys. Mr. Kartusch added that the plan
states that the design will be consistent with the area, development will reinforce
pedestrian character, and parking setbacks. He stated he does not feel this design is
consistent with the planning guidelines and principles. Mr. Kartusch noted that the
Official Plan states that buildings shall be street front oriented and the current proposal
does not follow these guidelines and does not follow good urban design or planning
principles. He added that he is concerned with the safety of children in the parking lots.
Mr. Kartusch concluded be advising the Committee that his family moved to Newcastle
to be part of the community and encouraged the members of Council to follow the
guidelines in the Official Plan.
Kevin Symak, local resident, spoke in opposition to the application. He advised the
Committee that he is concerned with the sight lines and stated the original approved
location would have better complemented the area. Mr. Symak believes downtown
Newcastle is becoming overcrowded with buildings. He advised the Committee that he
is concerned with the proposed height of the building and the previously approved
location is more appropriate for the area. Mr. Symak concluded by stating that there are
too many buildings in this area and he does not approve of the proposed relocation.
Bob Malone, local resident, spoke in support of the application. He advised the
Committee that he is here to support development of Newcastle. Mr. Malone noted he
supported the development when it was approved in December 2015. He added that he
is a member of the Newcastle Village and District Historical Society and the Newcastle
Ratepayers Associations. Mr. Malone explained that he has read the staff report and he
was concerned it stated that the new location does not apply good urban design or
planning principles and that staff would not support the application. He added that the
only reason he could find within the report is the 30-60 residents may have issues with
the parking. Mr. Malone continued by stating that he does not feel that this alone
justifies relocation. He feels that this development will provide Newcastle with an
economic boost and fit in well with the Massey building. Mr. Malone asked the
Committee to support the application for the relocation and noted that it is time to resolve
the issues. He concluded by advising that the residents he represents support this
application.

agreement with the recommendations. Mr. Manson addressed the well interference
issues raised by Ms. Racansky in her delegation and noted that, in 1992, they engaged
Gibson Associates to study the impact on the wells. He added that they identified some
wells which were sensitive and shallow. Mr. Manson noted that the Racansky well
(W83) was identified and it was determined that there was a remote chance that this
development had adversely impacted these wells. He continued by explaining that, in
1997, they obtained the services of Golder Associates again and an assessment with
done on the well, which concurred with the previous findings. Mr. Manson advised the
Committee that, in 1999, they went to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) hearing and
paid over $350,000 in studies to have the consultant confirm the same findings. Mr.
Manson advised the Committee that the OMB concluded that the impact from the two
developments on the surrounding wells was very minor. He explained that, during
construction in 2007-2008, Golder Associates designed a program to monitor the wells
which might be impacted and this resulted in a report stating that there were no issues
with the wells. Mr. Manson stated that he is aware of his responsibility and, if he was
liable, he would correct the issues. He added that, although he sympathizes with Ms.
Racansky’s situation, he is not responsible for Ms. Racansky’s well problems. Mr.

common, she is asking for the developer to speak with the residents in the area. Ms.

bought this home because of the location and greenspace behind the property. She
added that they have lost the proposed school and now have the addition of 40 homes.
Ms. Morris advised the Committee that they will now have walkout homes behind them
which will result in loss of privacy. She continued by explaining that she is concerned
that they will not be able to enjoy their back yard and she worried with the lack of privacy
and additional shading. Ms. Morris asked for restrictions to be placed on the height and
depth of the decks of the new homes. She noted that they purchased this property to be
their “forever home” and now they do not want to live there. Ms. Morris added that she
feels these new developments should not impact the privacy of the existing neighbours
and is asking for assistance for the Buttonshaw Street residents. She concluded by
asking for recommendations in the letter from Borden Ladner Gervais on behalf of Andy
Brown to be approved.
