REPORT NO.: Addendum to PSD-067-09 PAGE 2
1. At the meeting held on June 29, 2009, Council tabled report PSD-067-09 to September
14, 2009. The report recommended that the Municipality take the position that the
Neighbourhood Design Plan and the related development applications must incorporate
"a restored, naturalized northerly tributary of the Foster Creek within the Newcastle
Village North Neighbourhood",
2. Staff of the Municipality and the Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority
subsequently met with the Smooth Run Developments Inc. and Brookfield Homes
Limited to clarify the possibilities for day-lighting and incorporating a naturalized and
restored tributary into the subdivision plan. It is my understanding that the developer's
engineers are reviewing this matter.
3. At the same meeting, we were advised that the priority for the Metrus Developments
(Smooth Run) was the completion and approval of their Brookhill plan of subdivision in
Bowmanville. Subsequently, the focus of the efforts on behalf of Metrus Developments
has been on resolving the outstanding issues related to the Bowmanville subdivision
application, including the external services and the joint development arrangements with
other developers in the neighbourhood. As a result no further meetings have been held
with respect to the Village North project.
4. The Ontario Municipal Board held a pre-hearing conference on the Village North
applications on August 4, 2009. The Board has set a timetable for the appeals of the
Village North development proposals as follows:
• Pre-Hearing Conference on October 30,2009
• Hearing commencing February 5, 2010
5. In recognition of the efforts to prioritize the Bowmanville development applications, it is
recommended that report PSD-067-09 be further tabled until to the October 19th
meeting of the General Purpose and Administration Committee. This recommendation
is supported by the developers.
