Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -013-19 Report Overview Page 2 The report recommends an extension to Draft Approval for S -C 2011-0002 in the Brookhill Neighbourhood of Bowmanville for a period of six years. Application Details Owner: Proposal 1.3 Area: 1.4 Location 1.5 Roll Numbers 1977057 Ontario Limited Proposed Draft Plan of Subdivision: Extension of a Draft Approved Plan of Subdivision consisting of 47 single detached dwellings, 32 semi-detached dwellings, 62 townhouse units, two mixed use blocks containing between 98-162 multi -residential units for a total of 237 to 301 residential units, a park and a landscape strip adjacent to Bowmanville Avenue. 11.98 hectares 2278, 2318, 2360 Bowmanville Avenue, Part Lot 15, Concession 2, former Township of Darlington (see Figure 1) 18-17-010-030-01000 18-17-010-030-01100 18-17-010-030-01200 Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -013-19 Page 3 Figure 1: Site Location 2. Background 2.1 On April 15, 2011 Dunbury Developments (Regional) Ltd. submitted applications for a Draft Plan of Subdivision and Zoning By-law amendment. Since the original submission, several changes were made to the draft plan. Most notably was the alignment adjustment to the south for the future extension of Longworth Avenue after the completion of an Environmental Impact Study and the Environmental Assessment in 2012. On November 25, 2015, the Municipality received a Notice of Appeal submitted by the solicitor for Dunbury Developments (Regional) Ltd., regarding the proposed Draft Plan of Subdivision and a Zoning By-law amendment. The appeals were filed under Sections 51(34) and 34(l 1) of the Planning Act, for failure of Council to make a decision in respect of these development applications. Municipality of Clarington Page 4 Report PSD -013-19 2.2 Staff and the applicant worked through the various issues related to the draft plan and an agreeable solution was reached. At the June 25, 2012 General Purpose and Administration Committee meeting, Report PSD -034-12 was approved which requested the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) approve the draft plan and the corresponding rezoning application. The conditions of draft approval provided an expiry date of three years from the date approvals were given. The OMB issued its decision on July 14, 2016, approving all applications. 2.3 Shortly following the approval of the applications, the site was sold to 1977057 Ontario Limited. 2.4 At the time of draft approval, it was understood that the subject lands could not proceed until services were extended and development of roads and stormwater ponds were coordinated with adjacent landowners. Figure 2 illustrates the necessary works required to advance development. Figure 2: Proposed Draft Plan and required road and servicing infrastructure Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -013-19 Clarington Boulevard Page 5 2.5 The west side of the proposed alignment of Clarington Boulevard is partially located on lands owned by DG Group (S -C 2012-0003) who received draft approval in 2015. The timing of the subject draft plan will be contingent on the owner securing the balance of the lands for the extension of Clarington Boulevard and/or cost sharing arrangements with DG Group. Longworth Avenue 2.6 An Environmental Assessment and Environmental Impact Study confirmed the location of the alignment of Longworth Avenue from the urban area boundary in the west to Bowmanville Avenue in the east. It also determined the location of the crossing of the Brookhill tributary. 2.7 The development of the subject draft plan will require the construction of Longworth Avenue through the site. Since the Region of Durham controls intersections at regional roads, construction of the west side of Longworth Avenue cannot proceed until the alignment east of Bowmanville Avenue has been constructed. The timing of the portion of the Longworth Avenue east will require the cooperation of development interests on the north and south sides of Longworth Avenue east of Bowmanville Avenue. Stormwater Management Pond 2.8 The stormwater management pond to service this draft plan is located on lands to the south for which a draft Plan of Subdivision has been submitted by Tonno (18T-95027), but is not yet draft approved. The timing of the development for the subject draft plan will depend on the timing of development of the Tonno lands or the developer must make arrangements with Tonno to secure land through easements for the pond prior to development proceeding. Sanitary Sewer Trunk 2.9 The development of this site is reliant on the extension of 375 mm trunk sanitary sewer which is located south of the CP Railway and east of Bowmanville Avenue. The sewer will have to be brought under the railway and through the recently approved project by YYZ at the south east corner of Durham Highway 2 and Bowmanville Avenue. The trunk will then have to extend northward to service the lands along Bowmanville Avenue in the Brookhill Neighbourhood, being Tonno and the subject draft plan. 2.10 Specific conditions were added into the conditions of draft approval to ensure the appropriate cost share agreements are in place, specifically endeavours to collect and front ending agreements to and from benefitting landowners. Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -013-19 3. Discussion Page 6 3.1 The proposed development is currently "landlocked" in terms of road connections, and there are no services extending to the subdivision. Development of these lands is premature until roads and services are constructed including the requisite stormwater management pond. 3.2 The stormwater management pond and much of the Clarington Boulevard and Longworth Avenue road allowances are proposed to be constructed on lands owned by others. The applicant must co-ordinate the construction of Clarington Boulevard from its existing north terminus to Longworth Avenue, Longworth Avenue from Bowmanville Avenue to Clarington Boulevard to a full urban standard as well as all services and the stormwater management pond with the adjacent landowners. 3.3 The owner has met with the adjacent land owners to discuss cost sharing arrangements and has met with Regional representative to discuss the timing for services, however, the timing of the development of this site remains contingent on other parties moving forward with their particular proposals. 4. Recommendation Given the road and infrastructure improvements necessary to advance development, Staff have no objection to the request for the extension to draft approval of S -C 2011- 0002 for a period of six years. 5. Strategic Plan Application Not applicable. Municipality of Clarington Report PSD -013-19 Page 7 Submitted by: Reviewed by: Faye Langmaid, RPP, FCSLA, Andrew C. Allison, B.
