(Attachment 1) 3.0 BACKGROUND 3.1 On September 9, 2002, a Public Meeting was scheduled for a proposed Official Plan Amendment submitted by Great Lakes College. The proposed amendment proposes to delete the Community Park designation in favour of an Urban Residential designation. The General Purpose and Administration Committee endorsed Staffs recommendation to refer the report back for further processing and the preparation of a subsequent report. Committee also endorsed a recommendation that LACAC be requested to review the architectural and historical significance of the buildings at Great Lakes College and report back to Council. 3.2 In order to process the proposed amendments further, a number of studies were required including: . A Servicing Report . A Transportation Study . A Sub-watershed Study . An Environmental Impact Study REPORT NO.: PSD-026-06 PAGE 3 None of these studies have been submitted to date. In November 2003, staff contacted the applicant's agent and advised that the file will be closed if the reports were not submitted. Staff subsequently received a letter requesting the file remain open and that the reports would be forthcoming. 3.3 LACAC had completed their historical research in November 2002 and had attempted to contact the owner to conduct a site inspection. In February 2004, Staff spoke with the applicant's agent to discuss the opportunities for designation, but were unable to make contact with an owner. The lands were transferred from Great Lakes College to Madresa Ashraful Uloom in May 2005. 3.4 In January 2006, Staff contacted the applicant's agent, Yusuf Panchbhaya, of the Madresa Ashraful Uloom and advised that the file will be closed due to inactivity. Mr. Panchbhaya advised that he would contact staff by early February to discuss the Official Plan Amendment application. As of the date of writing this report, Mr. Panchbhaya has not contacted staff. In the interim, staff have received applications from the Region of Durham Land Division Committee requesting staffs comments on applications to sever lands north and south of the school buildings. The applications were submitted by The Kaitlin Group. 4.0 CONCLUSION 4.1 Given that supporting documentation to properly assess this file has not been submitted and there has been no follow-up on this file by the new owners, staff respectfully recommend that the Official Plan Amendment be refused and closed without prejudice.
