The Town of Newcastle in the Regional Municipality of Durham wishes to express their concern over the proposed delegation of authority of the Ministry of Housing to this Region with respect to referred matters. The Town feels very strongly that this delegation of authority not be processed at this time. This delegation of authority would be detrimental to the structure of this particular Regional Government in that this Region will become divided. Very recently (May 16th, 1979) the Council of the Region of Durham did not concur with the Town of Newcastle's request for the Region to consent to an Official Plan modification to allow a retirement mobile home park in the Town. The Newcastle Town Council since the formation of Regional Government has and still do endorse this particular project. Our request that the region support our position on this project and in so doing consent to a modification was refused. . The relevance of this matter to the subject of this letter is that the Town Council fears that without the Ministry of Housing as the authority in the Subdivision and Condominium process the Town of Newcastle will be left in a position where they are at the mercy of the whims of the Region. The Region presently chooses to ignore the Town decision and there is no evidence that this will change in the future. Council Minutes . . . - 12 - May 23rd, 1979 As a result the Town of Newcastle states that it is not in favour of any further delegation of authority to the Regional Municipality of Durham and would ask that before any such decision is made that the Town will have an opportunity to express it's views more fully at a meeting with your representatives and Town Council. We are sure you can appreciate the situation that we have been placed in that has necessitated us making such a very rare request. c.c. Premier Wm. Davis Sam Cureatz, M.P.P. C.L. Lundy, Regional Clerk G.M. Farrow, Executive Director, Plans Administration Division R.C. Norberg, Director of Subdivision Branch D.L. Santo, Director of Official Plans Branch Resolution #C-650-79 Moved by Councillor Cowman, seconded by Councillor Hobbs. THAT the Rules of Procedure be suspended to introduce the following Motion. "CARRIED" Resolution #C-65l-79 Moved by Councillor Cowman, seconded by Councillor Holliday. WHEREAS, the Town of Newcastle has repeatedly requested modification of the Regional Official Plan to accommodate the proposal of Ridge Pine Park Limited; AND WHEREAS the Town of Newcastle believes that the basic land use for the area should be determined before undertaking the substantial expenses involved in implementing the Regional Resolution regarding this matter of May 16th, 1979 i.e. to refer this matter back to the Town and to Ridge Pine Park Limited for a proper application for an amendment to the Durham Regional Official Plan, and also with the request that the Official Plan Amendment and appropriate Zoning By-law Amendment application, if necessary, be considered simultaneously. THEREFORE be it resolved that the Town of Newcastle again request the Region to modify its Official Plan to accommodate the Ridge Pine Park proposal.
