1.0 APPLICATION DETAILS
1.1 Applicant: First-Tech Mechanical Systems Inc., Maria Wulczyn, and Percy
Napper
1.2 Agent:
Weston Consulting Group Inc.
1.3 Draft Plan of Subdivision:
To develop a draft plan of subdivision containing three (3) single
detached dwelling units and a block for up to nine (9) townhouse
dwelling units.
1.4 Rezoning: To rezone the subject lands from "Holding - Urban Residential
Type One ((H)R1 Zone" and "Urban Residential Type Two (R2)
Zone" to permit the development of a draft plan of subdivision.
1.5 Site Area: 0.39 hectares (0.98 acres)
2.0 BACKGROUND
2.1 Two properties are the subject of the applications. First-Tech Mechanical
Systems Inc. and Maria Wulczyn own the property located at 1613 Highway 2,
which fronts on Highway 2 and Kennedy Drive (see Attachment 1). A small
parcel of land is required from Percy Napper at 33 Kennedy Drive immediately to
the south to provide frontage for:
. eastern-most single detached lot on Kennedy Drive; and
. extension of municipal services from Kennedy Drive to the proposed
townhouses.
2.2 The rezoning (ZBA 2001-016) and draft plan of subdivision (S-C-2001-002)
applications were initially submitted by Weston Consulting Group Inc. on behalf
of First-Tech Mechanical Systems Inc., Maria Wulczyn, and Percy Napper to the
Municipality of Clarington on June 25, 2001. A total of three public meetings
have been held for proposals on the subject lands.
. An initial Public Meeting was held on September 4, 2001 for a proposal
that contained 4 single detached dwelling units fronting on Kennedy
Drive and a block for up to 7 townhouse dwelling units. The townhouses
would access Highway 2 through a common rear lane while the single
detached lots fronting on Kennedy Drive would gain individual access
from Kennedy Drive. The proposal also contemplated severance of the
existing single detached dwelling on the property from the remainder of
the property.
. Since severance of the existing single detached dwelling from the subject
lands did not conform to the Clarington Official Plan, the applicant
submitted an application to amend the Clarington Official Plan on
January 21, 2005. A Public Meeting was held on March 7, 2005 to
REPORT NO.: PSD-101-07
PAGE 3
consider a proposal that contained 3 single detached dwelling units
fronting on Kennedy Drive and a block for up to 7 townhouse dwelling
units, and the retention and severance of the existing single detached
dwelling on the property from the remainder of the property.
. A third Public Meeting was held on September 5, 2006 for a revised draft
plan of subdivision submitted by Weston Consulting Group Inc. The
revised application proposes a block for up to nine (9) townhouse
dwelling units fronting on Highway 2 and three (3) single detached units
fronting on Kennedy Drive. The existing single detached dwelling on the
lands is now proposed to be removed from the site (see Attachment 1).
. No member of the public has ever spoken in opposition to or support of
these proposals at any of these Public Meetings.
2.3 The applicants had submitted two related severance applications in 2000. One
application (LD 159/2000) would sever the existing single detached dwelling
contained on the subject lands from the vacant property. The second application
(LD 158/2000) would sever a small parcel of land from Percy Napper's property
to provide Kennedy Drive road frontage for the proposed development. After
being tabled on a number of occasions, Staff recommended at the August 16th,
2004 meeting that LD159/2000 be denied because the proposed severance did
not conform to the Clarington Official Plan policies. At the same meeting, Staff
recommended that LD158/2000 be tabled for a further year. On September 14,
2004, the decisions of the Durham Region Land Division Committee were
appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board. A hearing initially scheduled for
February 16, 2005 on this matter was adjourned indefinitely.
2.4 Following the appeal of the consent applications on January 27, 2005, a
Clarington Official Plan Amendment was submitted to amend the "Special Policy
Area F - King Street Corridor" policies in the Clarington Official Plan to permit
low and medium density residential uses as well as facilitating the severance and
retention of the existing single detached dwelling fronting on Highway NO.2 from
the subject lands. A Public Meeting was held for this application on March 7,
2005, at which no member of the public either spoke in opposition to or in
support of the application.
2.5 On February 16, 2006, the applicant appealed the rezoning (ZBA 2001-016) and
subdivision (S-C-2001-002) applications to the Ontario Municipal Board. In order
to consolidate all appeals, the applicant also appealed the Official Plan
amendment (COPA 2005-002) application to the Ontario Municipal Board on
November 24, 2006. As such, Council no longer has the jurisdiction to make a
decision on these applications. In preparing for the Municipality's position on the
revised proposal, Staff felt that a further Public Meeting was necessary for the
revised applications. On September 5, 2006, a public meeting on the revised
proposed plan of subdivision and zoning by-law amendment was held to provide
an opportunity for input from adjacent residents. No member of the public spoke
either in opposition to or in support of the proposal.
REPORT NO.: PSD-101-07

2.6 The Municipality's solicitor and Staff attended an Ontario Municipal Board pre-
hearing on August 1,2007. The purpose of the pre-hearing was to determine the
issues, interested parties, and future hearing dates. At the pre-hearing, both
parties agreed that the revised draft plan of subdivision was acceptable in
principle. Subsequently, the applicant agreed to withdraw the Official Plan
Amendment (COPA 2005-002) and Land Division (LD 159/2000), at such time
the draft plan of subdivision and rezoning application are approved, since they
were no longer required. Therefore, this report contains a proposed zoning by-
law amendment (see Attachment 2) and conditions of draft plan approval (see
Attachment 3). Attachment 4 contains municipal conditions to be imposed on the
Land Division (LD 158/2000) application submitted by Percy Napper for the
transfer of lands needed for the proposed draft plan of subdivision.
2.7 A further pre-hearing date has been scheduled for September 27, 2007. Should
a settlement not be reached by this date, a hearing date has been scheduled for
November 15 and 16, 2007 to hear the appeals.
3.0 SITE CHARACTERISTICS AND SURROUNDING USES
3.1 The property owned by First-Tech Mechanical Systems Inc. and Maria Wulczyn

4.0 PROVINCIAL POLICY
4.1 Provincial Policv Statement
The Provincial Policy Statement identifies settlement areas as the focus of
growth and promotes residential intensification of vacant and underutilized
property. The policies also promote a variety of higher density residential
development within urban areas. The proposed development is consistent with
the Provincial Policy Statement.
4.2 Growth Plan
The Provincial Growth Plan promotes urban intensification of underutilized and
vacant properties for intensive development. Emphasis is placed on
intensification along major arterial roads to support transit use. The proposed
development is consistent with the Growth Plan.
REPORT NO.: PSD-101-07
PAGE 5
5.0 OFFICIAL PLANS
5.1 Durham Reqional Official Plan
The Durham Regional Official Plan designates the subject lands as "Living Area".
Residential uses are permitted within this designation. The application conforms
to the policies.
5.2 Clarinqton Official Plan
The Clarington Official Plan designates the property "Special Policy Area F - King
Street Corridor". Medium and high density residential uses are permitted within
this designation. The proposed development conforms to the medium density
housing range both in terms of density and housing mix. While there are three
single detached dwellings proposed, the predominant proposed and future
housing form is townhouse development.
6.0 ZONING BY-LAW CONFORMITY
6.1 Zoning By-law 84-63 zones the subject lands at 1613 Highway 2 as "Holding-
Urban Residential Type One ((H)R1) Zone", which does not permit the
proposed housing mix. In order to permit the proposal, a rezoning application
was submitted for consideration.
6.2 Zoning By-law 84-63 zones the portion of land at 33 Kennedy Drive as "Urban
Residential Type Two (R2) Zone", which recognizes the existing development.
In order to permit the proposal, the rezoning application also covers this area.
7.0 PUBLIC SUBMISSIONS
7.1 A total of three Public Meetings were held for the various versions of the
proposed draft plan of subdivision. The Planning Services Department has not
received a written submission and no member of the public ever spoke either in
opposition to or in support of the application.
8.0 AGENCY COMMENTS
8.1 A number of relevant agencies were circulated on this revised application for
comment. Comments received are summarized below and applicable agency
conditions have been incorporated in the Conditions of Draft Approval contained
in Attachment 3. Neither school board nor utilities have raised any objections to
the application or provided any conditions of approval.
REPORT NO.: PSD-101-07
PAGE 6
8.2 The Clarington Emergency Services Department has reviewed the temporary 20
metre turning radius proposed by the applicant. The Emergency Services
Department is prepared to accept the proposed configuration as a temporary
situation until Kennedy Drive is extended further to the west in conjunction with
redevelopment of adjacent lands.
8.3 The Clarington Engineering Services Department has no objections provided that
the following issues can be addressed:
. No access will be permitted to Kennedy Drive from the townhouses;
. The driveway to 33 Kennedy Drive (Percy Napper's property) be modified
to accommodate the driveway of the eastern-most proposed lot; and
. A preliminary grading and drainage plan must be submitted to show how
stormwater will be conveyed from the proposal.
8.4 The Durham Region Planning and Durham Region Public Works Departments
have no further objections to the proposal and have as such provided conditions
of draft plan approval. Standard conditions that must be fulfilled by the applicant
include preparation of a draft plan of subdivision, conveyance of necessary road
widening on Highway 2 and reserves, preparation of a noise report, extension of
full municipal services, and preparation of a Record of Site Condition satisfactory
for the Ministry of Environment.
8.5 Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority has no objections provided that a
detailed stormwater management design brief is submitted, that adequate
measures have been undertaken to protect fish and wildlife habitat, and that an
erosion and sedimentation report be prepared.
9.0 STAFF COMMENTS
9.1 The Highway 2 Corridor in Courtice is an area of transition from the original large
lot single detached dwelling to an area of more intense uses to take advantage of
the Regional Transit Spine. "Highway to Mainstreet: Courtice Highway 2 Corridor
and Main Central Area Study" was completed in June 2001 to provide assistance
with the transition of the area in facilitating redevelopment or infill development.
The study recommended that the subject lands be designated for medium and/or
high density residential uses. The proposed Secondary Plan presented in 2002
would permit low density housing fronting on Kennedy Drive as a buffer between
existing low density areas and new medium or high density residential areas
fronting on Highway 2. A Staff report and proposed Secondary Plan for this area
met with opposition from land owners and was tabled by Council in 2002. The
Secondary Plan has not been reconsidered to date.
9.2 Staff have reiterated that while the intensification portion of the proposal was
acceptable, the original proposed severance and retention of the existing single
detached dwelling fronting on Highway 2 could not be supported. The revised
REPORT NO.: PSD-101-07
PAGE 7
application proposes a private rear lane for the townhouse block that could be
extended eastwards in the future to facilitate intensification of properties located
at 1615 and 1617 Highway 2. Staff have always been concerned that severing
the existing dwelling would preclude an extension of this lane to the east. While
previous plans had always proposed this severance, the revised application is a
significant departure from previous submissions and no longer proposes to retain
the existing single detached dwelling fronting on Durham Highway NO.2. Staff
have indicated that the revised application is now consistent with the intent of the
Clarington Official Plan and that Staff, in principle, support the proposal, provided
that all technical agency issues are resolved.
9.3 The proposal shows a temporary turning circle on site to serve the proposed
townhouse block, which would allow for emergency service vehicle turning
movement and snow storage. Should development be extended further
eastward, the turning circle could be replaced by additional development
conforming to the Municipality's policies.
9.4 Since the applicant has appealed the Official Plan Amendment, rezoning, draft
plan of subdivision, and both consent applications to the Ontario Municipal
Board, Council no longer has the authority to make a decision on these
applications.
9.5 The proposed townhouse development on Block 4 of the proposed draft plan of
subdivision will be subject to site plan approval. However, specific zoning has
been drafted providing exceptions from the standard 'R3' zoning regulations for
lot frontage and interior side yard setbacks to accommodate the proposal.
Through the site plan approval process, the development will be finalized and all
applicable landscaping and amenity area policies will be implemented. Should
the development be sold as condominium tenure, a draft plan of condominium
must also be approved at a later date by Council.
9.6 The proposed Minutes of Settlement are contained in Attachment 2. The
proposed settlement contains the proposed Conditions of Draft Plan Approval,
the proposed Zoning By-Law Amendment, and the proposed Land Division
Conditions. Together, the proposed draft plan of subdivision, the proposed
zoning by-law amendment, and the land division conditions would permit three
(3) single detached dwellings and a block for up to nine (9) townhouse dwelling
units.
10.0 CONCLUSIONS
10.1 Based on the comments contained in this report, Staff would recommend that the
Municipality request the Ontario Municipal Board to:
REPORT NO.: PSD-101-07
