1.0 APPLICATION DETAILS
1.1 Applicant: Newton -Trelawney Property Management
1.2 Owner: Durham Standard Condo Corporation 200
1.3 Proposal: To permit two permanent signs attached to two existing landscape feature
walls on the subject property
1.4 Location: 350 Lakebreeze Drive, Newcastle
2.0 BACKGROUND AND PROPOSED AMENDMENT
2.1 The subject property is located at 350 Lakebreeze Drive in Newcastle, with frontage on
both Lakebreeze Drive (south entrance) and Shipway Avenue (north entrance). A 36
unit condominium development, built in 2004, currently exists on the subject property.
In July 2010, two signs identifying the name and address of the multi-unit residential
condominium development on the subject property were erected, one at the south
entrance on Lakebreeze Drive, and the other at the north entrance on Shipway Avenue.
The signs were attached to existing landscape feature walls on the subject property.
The existing stone walls are 4.9 metres wide and between 1.3 and 1.6 metres tall. Both
signs are approximately 1.5 metres wide and 0.8 metres tall.
In September 2010, as a result of a complaint, the owner received notice from the
Municipality of Clarington Clerks Department, By-law Enforcement, that the two signs
on the property did not have a permit and were in contravention of Sign By-law 2009-
123. As a result, on September 14, 2010, Newton -Trelawney Property Management
and Durham Standard Condo Corporation 200, submitted an application for an
amendment to Sign By-law 2009-123 to permit two permanent signs attached to two
existing landscape feature walls on the subject property.
REPORT NO,: PSD-115-10
2.2 Sian By-law Provisions
PAGE 3
Section 7.9 of Sign By-law 2009-123 permits one multi-unit residential sign per multi-
unit residential development site. Therefore the applicant is asking for an amendment
to allow two signs on the subject property.
Staff is satisfied that the signs meet the other requirements of Sign by-law 2009-123 in
regards to maximum height and size.
2.3 Applicant's Rationale
The applicant has stated that two signs are necessary at this address as there are two
separate entrances to the property from two different roads, Lakebreeze Drive to the
south and Shipway Avenue to the north. The applicant also stated that the signs are
necessary for safety reasons; Emergency Services has had difficulty locating the
property in the past when there was no signage present.
3.0 STAFF COMMENTS
3.1 As mentioned above, multi-unit residential sites are permitted one sign per property.
The subject property is long and narrow, with frontage on both Shipway Avenue to the
north and Lakebreeze Drive to the south (see Figure 2 below). As a result, the multi-
unit residential development can be accessed by either of two separate entrances,
approximately 200 metres apart, off of Shipway Avenue or Lakebreeze Drive. In
regards to the two signs on the subject property, (one at each entrance), we consider
both locations to be appropriate and suitable for amulti-unit residential sign.

REPORT NO.: PSD-115-10 PAGE 4
The landscape feature walls, to which the signs were attached, were previously in
existence on the subject property and were approved at part of the Site Plan Agreement
for the development. The walls were existing features on the property and were not
constructed specifically to support the signs in question. Thus, they are not considered
to be sign support structures as defined in Sign By-law 2009-123, and do not have to
comply with the width and height requirements for sign support structures as stated in
Sign By-law 2009-123. Therefore the amendment is to allow two permanent signs on
the property attached to two existing landscape feature walls.
4.0 CONCLUSIONS
4.1 The applicants are looking to ensure the condo development at 350 Lakebreeze Drive is
easily identifiable to visitors as well as emergency vehicles. Two signs are necessary
as there are two separate entrances to the condo development one off of Shipway
Avenue to the north and one off of Lakebreeze Drive to the south. The proposed signs
will not detrimentally impede vision or become a safety hazard.
4.2 It is respectfully recommended that the amendment to the Municipal Sign By-law 2009-
123 to permit two permanent signs attached to two existing landscape feature walls on
the subject property at 350 Lakebreeze Drive, Newcastle, be approved.
