AMENDMENT NO. 45 TO THE OFFICIAL PLAN
OF THE TOWN OF NEWCASTLE
PURPOSE:
LOCATION:
BASIS:
ACTUAL
AMENDMENT :
The purpose of this Amendment is to incorporate
the Orono Secondary Plan into the Official Plan
of the Town of Newcastle.
The lands subject of this Amendment generally
comprise the existing Hamlet of Orono lying
west of Highway 35/115 and south of Regional
Road 4, and are more specifically described as
follows: Part of Lots 28 and 29, Concession
4 and Part of Lots 26, 27, 28 and 29,
Concession 5, former Township of Clarke, now
Town of Newcastle.
The Amendment is based upon a detailed
Secondary Plan Study for the Hamlet of Orono
prepared by the Proctor and Redfern Group,
dated March 1990, as required by section 9.1
of the Official Plan of the Town of Newcastle.
The Orono Secondary Plan limits new residential
development to approximately 25 lots on
municipal water and private sewage disposal.
New development on private services is not
encouraged given Orono's existing problems with
private services and the potential for Orono
to be redesignated as a 'Small Urban Area'.
On November 26, 1990, the Council of the Town
of Newcastle approved a modification to the
Orono Secondary Plan. This modification
changed the boundaries of the hamlet to include
lands on the west side of Regional Road 17
immediately south of Regional Road 4, and
permits residential development on these lands
to proceed on full private services.
The Official Plan of the Town of Newcastle is
hereby amended as follows:
1. In section 9.1 (iv), by deleting "9-7"
from the first line and replacing same
with "9-8", and by adding the phrase "9-
8 Orono" to the end the section.
By-Law 92-12

2. In section 9.4 (ii), by deleting the last
sentence in its entirety and replacing
same with the following:
"Where a municipal water system exists,
new development shall only be permitted
if same is connected to municipal water
supply."
3. In section 9.4 (ix), by deleting the
paragraph in its entirety and replacing
same with the following:
" ix) Notwithstanding the minimum lot size
requirements set out in this Plan,
the minimum lot size in the Hamlets
of Newtonville and Orono can be less
than 0.4 hectares without amendment
to this Plan provided that the new
development is to connect to the
municipal water system, and further
provided that a detailed engineering
report demonstrates to the
satisfaction of the Ministry of the
Environment, the Region of Durham and
Town of Newcastle that soil
conditions can support the reduced
lot size without causing soil and
groundwater contamination. In no
case however, shall the lot size be
reduced below 0.2 hectares."
4.
In section
" (x) " as
inserting
follows:
9.4, by renumbering Subsection
Subsection "(xi)" and by
a new Subsection "(x)" as
"x) Notwithstanding section 9.4 (ii), new
residential lots on private water
supply and sewage disposal systems
may be created on the lands
designated 'Residential Expansion"
on the west side of Regional Road 17
immediately south of Regional Road
4 in the Hamlet of Orono, subject to
the approval of the Durham Region
Health Services Department.
