2. EXISTING AND SURROUNDING LAND USES
PAGE3
2.1 The lands subject to the applications are currently used for agricultural purposes and are
located in Part Lot 27, Concession 3, former Township of Darlington (see Attachment No. 4).
The surrounding land uses include.
North - woodlot
South - large lot residential
East - large lot residential, auto wrecker
West- large lot residential, future Faith United Church, woodlot
3. BACKGROUND
3.1 Courtice North Neighbourhood 3C
When the applications were first submitted the lands were located within the Courtice North
Neighbourhood 3C, as identified in the former Town of Newcastle Official Plan. (This area is
now referred to as the Hancock Neighbourhood)
A portion of the Neighbourhood, south of Nash Road, had been partially developed in
accordance with the approved Neighbourhood Development Plan, which allocated a
population of 900 people for the portion of the lands south of Nash Road, including the
identification of the road pattern and housing types.
However, a Neighbourhood Development Plan had not been prepared for that portion of the
Neighbourhood located north of Nash Road. Nevertheless, the Official Plan did allocate a
population of 1000 people, establish a collector road network and delineate conceptual land
uses.
In April 1992, the applicant submitted applications to amend the Official Plan of the former
Town of Newcastle and to complete the Neighbourhood Development Plan for
Neighbourhood 3C.

REPORT NO.: PD-107-98
3.2 Plan of Subdivision and Rezoning Applications
PAGE4
In June of 1992, the applicant applied to the Region of Durham for the approval of the plan of
subdivision (18T-92014). The applicant also filed the zoning amendment application (DEV
92-033) with the Municipality in June of 1992.
At the Public Meeting in February 1993, Staff recommended that the applications be denied
without prejudice as premature. Council's position with respect to these two development
applications was to refer the applications back to Staff to be considered in the context of the
Official Plan Review.
Subsequent to the preparation of the Draft Clarington Official Plan, the applicant revised all of
the applications. Formal revised applications for the rezoning and plan of subdivision were
submitted in August of 1995, and the revised official plan amendment on September 8, 1995.
In April of 1996, subsequent to the adoption of the new Clarington Official Plan, Council
dealt with a large number of applications through a report which contained recommendations
on the disposition of outstanding Official Plan Amendments, Neighbourhood Plan
Amendments, and all related applications. The Official Plan Amendment was approved as
provided for in the Clarington Official Plan. The applications for the zoning amendment and
the plan of subdivision were referred back to Staff for further consideration.
Due to significant revisions to the plan of subdivision, a further Public Meeting was held on
July 13, 1998. At that time, the Committee was addressed by the applicant as well as Libby
Racansky and Chris Conti representing Friends of the Farewell.
3.3 Clarington Official Plan
The Clarington Official Plan was approved by the Region of Durham on October 31, 1996
save and except for referrals and deferrals. The Plan set the population for the Hancock
Neighbourhood at 2800 persons. The collector road network was defined, along with the
locations for two Neighbourhood Parks, a separate elementary school and a public
IJ~~
REPORT NO.: PD-107-98
PAGE5
elementary school. Lands were identified for Environmental Protection Areas, a Local Central
Area, and three locations for Medium Density residential development. The balance of the
neighbourhood was designated for urban residential use.
The applicant referred portions of the Clarington Official Plan (Referral #3) which are outlined
in Section 3.4.
On June 27, 1997, the applicant filed an application to amend the Clarington Official Plan
(COPA 97-007). The application proposed to increase the population within the Hancock
Neighbourhood from 2800 to 2900 persons, to amend the housing targets from 975 units to
985 units, and to remove a Medium Density residential designation from the lands subject to
this application. This application was heard at a Public Meeting on September 8, 1997.
3.4 Referrals to the OMB
In 1995, subsequent to Council's decision to defer consideration of the applications for plan
of subdivision and rezoning until the approval of the Clarington Official Plan, the applicant
appealed or referred the following to the OMB:
• the application to amend the Official Plan of the former Town of Newcastle OPA 92-
N/007;
• the subject application for draft plan of subdivision 18T-92014;
• the subject application for rezoning DEV 92-033;
• the northerly application for draft plan of subdivision 18T-94027;
• the northerly application for rezoning DEV 94-067;
• portions of the new Clarington Official Plan identified as Referral #3 (see Report PD-106-
98); and,
• the application to amend the Clarington Official Plan COPA 97-007 (see Report PD-106-
98).
A draft zoning by-law was forwarded to the OMB on September 22, 1995 by Mr. Peter Van
Loan of Fraser & Beatty, Solicitors for Courtice Heights.
Two prehearing conferences have been held to address these referrals. In addition to the
67l
REPORT NO.: PD-107-98
PAGE6
Municipality and Courtice Heights Developments, which are parties to the hearing, the
following persons have identified to the OMB their interest in participating at the hearing:
Libby Racansky;
Kerry Meydam;
Linda Gasser;
Mark and Heather Roper; and,
Bob Kreasul
The Ropers and Bob Kreasul are associated with Faith United Church and their concerns were
dealt with through Amendment No. 3 to the Official Plan.
A third prehearing has been set for September 24, 1998. Staff have been working with the
applicant and the commenting agencies to achieve a resolution between the parties.
3.5 Neighbourhood Design Plan
A draft Neighbourhood Design Plan was prepared by the applicant as required by the
Clarington Official Plan (see Attachment No. 5). Such a Plan is required to be approved by
Staff prior to Council granting approval for draft plans of subdivision. The draft
Neighbourhood Design Plan was circulated to various agencies and departments for
comment. A Public Information Open House was also held on February 25, 1998, to obtain
input from the neighbourhood residents and interested parties.
4. PUBLIC NOTICE AND SUBMISSIONS
4.1 In accordance with the Municipality's procedures and the requirements of the Planning
Act, written notice of the July 13`h, 1998 Public Meeting was given as follows:
• Public Meeting signs for the revised application were installed on the draft plan of
subdivision site; and,
• written notice was circulated to all assessed property owners within 120 metres of the
subject lands, and to all interested parties identified through the previous applications.
4.2 As of the writing of this report, three verbal inquiries have been received, all requesting
672
REPORT NO.: PD-107-98
PAGE 7
clarification of the proposed development and the procedures for approval.
4.3 Written notice of this Report appearing on the agenda was provided to all residents who
addressed Committee at the July 13"' Public Meeting and all members of the public who
provided submissions. Comments about development in the area have been received from
Friends of the Farewell. The following concerns have been raised:
• increase in population;
• increase in unit counts;
• removal of forested areas;
• environmental sensitivity of the neighbourhood;
• depletion of groundwater;
• reducing the developer's costs in order to lower density;
• cumulative impacts of development such as flooding, erosion and water quality
decline; and
• watershed study request for the Farewell/Black Creek watershed area.
5. OFFICIAL PLAN POLICIES
5.1 Durham Regional Official Plan
The subject property is designated as a Living Area, with indications of Environmentally
Sensitive Areas, within the Durham Regional Official Plan. Lands designated for Living Areas
shall be used primarily for housing purposes. In light of their ecological functions and
scientific and educational values, Environmentally Sensitive Areas are subject to
environmental impact studies to determine the degree of sensitivity, the potential cumulative
effects of any proposed development and the need for mitigating measures. The proposal
appears to conform with the provisions of the Durham Regional Official Plan.
5.2 Clarington Official Plan
The Clarington Official Plan designates the Hancock Neighbourhood as predominantly low
density Urban Residential. There are two Medium Density symbols identified north of Nash
Road on the east side of Courtice Road while one Medium Density symbol located south of
Nash Road has already been developed. The valley lands associated with Black Creek, and
its tributaries, are designated Environmental Protection Areas. A large woodlot in the north
673
REPORT NO.: PD-107-98
PAGE8
east corner of the neighbourhood and a smaller woodlot in the southwest quadrant have also
been designated as Environmental Protection Areas.
The predominant use of land within the Urban Residential designation is for low density
housing purposes. The Environmental Protection Areas, and their ecological function, are to
be preserved and protected from the effects of human activity. No development is permitted
on these lands.
Map C1 of the Clarington Official Plan shows the entire neighbourhood as falling within the
Lake Iroquois Beach. Hazard lands and a small portion of tableland woodlots are shown
associated with Black Creek, its tributaries, and the associated valleylands. Two tableland
woodlots have also been identified in the neighbourhood.
The Lake Iroquois Beach is a natural feature identified in recognition of its extensive forested
areas and wildlife habitat, and its locally significant functions of groundwater discharge and
recharge.
The lands within this proposed plan of subdivision are designated Urban Residential with a
Public Elementary School and a Neighbourhood Park symbol. The site also contains half of
the collector road network for the Neighbourhood.
The proposal conforms with the provisions of the Clarington Official Plan, as amended by
Amendment No. 10, forwarded by Report PD-106-98 on this agenda.
6. ENVIRONMENTAL REPORT
6.1 Assessment of Groundwater Recharge and Discharge
Hancock Neighbourhood is underlain by three groundwater flow zones -the shallow
overburden flow zone, the deeper overburden flow zone, and the bedrock flow zone. The
shallow overburden flow zone, which extends to a depth of 6 metres, is characterized by a
674
REPORT NO.: PD-107-98
PAGE 9
high water table which lies approximately 1 metre below the surface. Groundwater from this
zone is discharged seasonally to an intermittent tributary which flows through the
Neighbourhood.
The deeper (intermediate) overburden flow zone extends to a depth of approximately 40
metres. The report indicates that groundwater in this zone is recharged primarily from the
Oak Ridges Moraine, and contributes baseflow to the main branch of Black Creek. The wells
within and adjacent to the Neighbourhood receive most of their water supply from the
intermediate aquifer. The bedrock flow zone is recharged primarily by groundwater flow
from the Oak Ridges Moraine. Most of the flow in this zone discharges to Lake Ontario and
does not provide significant baseflow contribution to Black Creek.
There are 124 wells within and adjacent to the Hancock Neighbourhood - 95 are bored wells
with an average depth of 5.6 m, while the balance are drilled to an average depth of 22 m.
Water yield from all wells is good, although a number of the bored wells experience seasonal
shortages.
Due to the presence of relatively impermeable deposits in the Hancock Neighbourhood, the
groundwater contribution from the Neighbourhood is negligible in comparison to the
groundwater recharge which occurs on more permeable soils to the north. The report
concludes that the proposed developments will have negligible impact on baseflow
conditions in Black Creek and on the aquifer yields supplying domestic water wells.
However, the report recommends a number of mitigative measures to offset the impact of
incremental development within the Black Creek watershed. These measures include
discharging precipitation collected on roofs to grassed surfaces, minimizing the compaction of
fill, the installation of infiltration trenches along rear lot lines, and the installation of seepage
barriers in service trenches to prevent piping of groundwater.

REPORT NO.: PD-107-98
6.2 Environmental Impact Report (EcoPlans Limited)
PAGE 10
The vegetation communities found in the Hancock Neighbourhood generally reflect the
presence of the high water table which underlies most of the neighbourhood, as well as the
effects of human use. The woodlots on the two land parcels owned by Courtice Heights were
cleared prior to the submission of the development applications. Two significant vegetation
communities are found in the Neighbourhood -the 15 hectare broadleaf woodlot in the
northeast corner, and the old field succession/wet meadow complex to the southwest of the
woodlot.
Broadleaf Woodlot
This woodlot is the most significant vegetative feature in the Neighbourhood. It is
characterized by mature mixed hardwoods and successional species of varying ages and
sizes, and a fairly diverse and intact native ground flora. The woodlot provides habitat for a
variety of forest interior birds and also provides a linkage function between adjacent off-site
woodland blocks to the north and east, and the core area of the Trulls Woods to the west.
Portions of the woodlot have been disturbed by previous logging practices. The woodland
edge has been stressed as the result of land clearing on the adjacent parcels owned by
Courtice Heights Developments. Awell-developed understorey which has regenerated along
the new edge acts as a buffer to the woodland interior.
The report indicates urban development on adjacent lands should not have a significant
impact on the hydrology of the woodland since the proposed subdivision will be located
down-gradient, although the water table may be reduced somewhat at the woodland. Other
potential impacts on the woodland block were noted, including construction impacts to
woodland edge trees, increased predation pressure on sensitive wildlife by domestic pet and
urban-tolerant wildlife species, increased pedestrian access to the woodland and the
"annexation" of woodlot edges into rear lot areas.
A number of measures are recommended to maintain the overall integrity and linkage
~~~
REPORT NO.: PD-107-98
PAGE 11
functions of the woodlot. These include the installation of fencing along the dripline (i.e.
property line) of the woodland edge prior to site grading to minimize construction impacts
and to limit access to the woodlot. The grading of rear lots should maintain the pre-
development drainage regime within the woodland edge, and grade changes along the
woodlot edge should be minimized to avoid damage to roots. Other recommended measures
include the installation of signage and the implementation of an environmental stewardship
program to educate future residents on maintenance of woodlot values.
OId Field Succession/Wet Meadow Complex
This community, which is associated with a seasonally high water table, groundwater seepage
and an intermittent tributary, consists of early successional species growing on poorly drained
soils. This habitat type is uncommon in this area, and four regionally uncommon plant
species which prefer this habitat were identified on this site. This community also provides
habitat for a typical variety of common edge and generalist wildlife species.
The retention and maintenance of a seasonal wet meadow habitat in an urban setting can be
difficult if the water table is lowered. However, the implementation of mitigation measures
recommended by the hydrogeological consultant should ensure that the moisture regime after
the development of the proposed subdivision should be suitable for the maintenance of the
wet meadow complex.
The trampling and picking of flowers by residents and the invasion of aggressive woody
species will also adversely affect the wet meadow complex. Even without urban
development, the wet meadow would eventually cease to exist as the result of succession to
woody species. As well, the ultimate development scheme for the Neighbourhood as
recommended by the Hancock Neighbourhood Design Plan indicates that the majority of this
complex will be removed by a north-south collector road and residential development.
It is important to note that the property on which this vegetative complex is located is not
677
REPORT NO.: PD-107-98
PAGE 12
owned by Courtice Heights Developments, and is not subject to the current development
proposals. The environmental impacts report recommends that a permanent chain-link fence
be installed around the property to control access. Specific measures to address the
maintenance of this complex can be considered at such time as a development proposal is
submitted for these properties. These measures could include the salvage of the
topsoil/seedbank and re-seeding in suitable municipally owned sites, such as the lands
adjacent to the intermittent tributary or the future storm water management pond.
Impact on Aquatic Habitat in Black Creek
Based on the conclusions of the hydrogeological report, the development of the Hancock
Neighbourhood is not expelled to significantly affect the baseflow conditions which maintain
potential fish habitat conditions in Black Creek. Water temperature monitoring in the
adjacent stretch of Black Creek has indicated conditions too warm for brook or brown trout,
but generally suitable for rainbow trout. The report concluded that rehabilitation efforts along
the creek, including establishment of tree cover, will not sufficiently reduce the summer
temperature regime to permit the return of resident brook trout populations.
6.3 CLOC Comments on Reports
CLOC noted that, prior to final approval of the subdivision plans, the proponent should
prepare detailed design and implementation plans for the proposed measures intended to
mitigate the impact of the two proposed subdivisions on the environmentally
sensitive/significant vegetation units and wildlife habitats.
The adjacent reach of Black Creek which will receive future urban runoff flows from the
subject site exhibits characteristic 'cool water' conditions, supporting both warm and
Coldwater fish species. CLOC noted that the storm water management plan for the proposed
developments will need to include measures to regulate the thermal impact of storm water
discharge to Black Creek in addition to more typical quality and quantity controls.
b%$
REPORT NO.: PD-107-98
PAGE 13
The development site currently contributes to the flow regime of a small drain traversing
numerous private properties downstream. This drainage feeds ponds and assists in the
maintenance of off-site wet meadows and other environmentally sensitive features. CLOC
indicated that flows through this minor tributary must be maintained until such time as
mitigation measures aimed at preserving some of these attributes can be implemented.
The Conditions of Draft Approval for the proposed subdivisions recommended by CLOC are
outlined in Section 7.7 of this Report.
7. AGENCY COMMENTS
7.1 The application was circulated to various departments and agencies for comment. Comments
of no objection were received from the Durham Regional Health Department, the Clarington
Community Services Department, Bell Canada, and Canada Post.
7.2 Ministry of Citizenship, Culture and Recreation Comments
The Ministry of Citizenship, Culture and Recreation had confirmed that there is low potential
for the discovery of archaeological remains and that an archaeological assessment is not
required.
7.3 Ministry of Transportation Comments
The Ministry of Transportation has no objection to approval of the plan of subdivision as the
technically preferred route for the Oshawa/Clarington Freeway Link does not physically
impact on the site.
7.4 Region of Durham Comments
The Durham Regional Planning Department have advised that they will not be forwarding
comments to the Municipality as the applications have been referred to the OMB. Their
comments will be provided directly to the OMB through direct testimony.
REPORT NO.: PD-107-98 PAGE 14
The Regional Works Department has advised that they have no objection to the further
processing of proposals and provided the following comments directly to the OMB along with
their conditions of draft approval:
• Municipal water can be provided through the extension of the existing 400 mm
watermain on Nash Road (at Fewster Street) to the east limit of the plan. A 300 mm
watermain will be required on Street "A" from Nash Road to the north limit of Street "A";
• A secondary watermain feed is recommended for the development. This secondary feed
can be provided via two methods. The first method involves extending the 400 mm
watermain on Nash Road to Hancock Road with a 200 mm watermain on Hancock Road
from Nash Road to Street "B". The alternative would be to extend the 300 mm watermain
on proposed Street "A", on easements to be acquired by the applicant, and connect to the
proposed plan of subdivision 18T-94027;
• Municipal sanitary sewers are available from the 375 mm sub-trunk sewer situated on
Nash Road to Fewster Street. The sewer must be extended easterly along Nash Road to
Street "A" and then northerly on Street "A";
• the Municipality of Clarington is requested to acquire a 3.048 metre widening along the
Nash Road frontage.
7.5 Clarington Fire Department Comments
The Clarington Fire Department has noted that the area is serviced by part-time firefighters
after 6:00 pm daily. At present population levels their service is strained. They note that all
required services should be in place before any future growth is approved in Courtice.
They have offered no objection but request that any future residents be informed that this area
will be served by part-time Staff. This concern will be addressed through any conditions of
draft plan of subdivision approval.
7.6 Clarington Public Works Department Comments
The Clarington Public Works Department provided extensive comments and conditions of
draft approval including the following major remarks:
• the applicant will be responsible for the implementation of all traffic related improvements
68~
REPORT NO.: PD-107-98
PAGE 15
deemed necessary by the Director of Public Works as indicated by the Hancock
Neighbourhood Plan Site Traffic Analysis. The timing and implementation of traffic
control measures shall be determined by the Director of Public Works.
• a temporary intersection configuration will be required at the intersection of Streets "A"
and "B" until such time as the lands to the north of this subdivision develop. Given the
lack of a defined time frame for the extension of Street "A" to the north, the temporary
intersection must be constructed to a full urban standard.
• the applicant will be required to make payments to the Municipality in the amounts stated
in a front ending agreement between the Municipality and Macourtice Developments Inc.
The payment is required as a result of the over-sizing of storm sewers associated with
Registered Plans 40M-1675 and 40M-1693 which enable the development of these lands
to proceed. The applicant will also be required to purchase Block 77 in Registered Plan
40M-1675 for the construction of storm water management works for the watershed or to
reimburse the Municipality if it acquires it under the current option agreement with
Macourtice Developments Inc.
• the phasing of this plan of subdivision will be dependent upon the construction of the
storm water management works for this watershed, external servicing and the construction
and funding of the external road improvements.
• the location of the future trunk sanitary sewer servicing lands situated north of the
Hancock Neighbourhood must be finalized and the approved location must not adversely
impact upon the roads, parks or parkettes located within the Hancock Neighbourhood.
• the applicant will be required to provide a water supply contingency plan detailing the
manner in which water will be supplied to local residents in the event of an impact upon
the groundwater table during servicing.
• the applicant will be responsible to construct, or contribute toward, downstream erosion
protection works which, in the opinion of the Director of Public Works, are caused or
aggravated by this development.
• the development cannot proceed until such time as the Municipality has approved the
expenditure of funds for:
i) the provision of roads, street lighting and sidewalk improvements along Nash
and Hancock Roads; and
ii) the construction of the Neighbourhood Park.
7.7 CLOC Comments
CLOC requested that prior to any on-site grading, or construction, or final approval of the plan
681
REPORT NO.: PD-107-98
PAGE 16
of subdivision, the owner shall submit to, and obtain approval from CLOC for reports
describing the following:
• the intended means of conveying storm water flow from the site;
• the anticipated impact of the development on water quality; and
• the means whereby erosion and sedimentation and their effects will be minimized on
the site during and after construction, in accordance with provincial guidelines.
In addition, prior to final approval of the plan, or any site alteration of the property, the
applicant shall submit and obtain approval of
• forest edge management plans for lots 13 to 70;
• detailed design and location plans of all groundwater infiltration measures to be
incorporated on the sites; and,
• an environmental construction management plan which details the construction timing
and specification for all environmental impact mitigation measures.
Finally, CLOC requests that the subdivision agreement between the applicant and the
Municipality shall contain the following conditions:
• the owner agrees to develop the plan in accordance with the plans, reports and
recommendations as required in the foregoing; and,
• prior to any construction occurring on lots 13 to 70 the owner agrees to install fencing
along the east property limits of lots 13 to 39, and the north property limits of lots 40
to 70.
7.9 Separate School Board Comments
The Peterborough Victoria Northumberland and Clarington Roman Catholic Separate School
Board requests that sidewalks be provided along all internal streets to accommodate children
walking to the separate elementary school south of Nash Road. They also request that traffic
control measures be provided to ensure safe pedestrian movement from the development
north of Nash Road to the school site. Signalization and crosswalks should be located at the
intersection of Nash Road and Street "A".
7.10 Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board Comments
The Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board is concerned that school site is not fully
contained within the limits of the plan of subdivision. Although the general location,
682
REPORT NO.: PD-107-98
PAGE 17
configuration and size of the site is acceptable, the Board notes that necessary arrangements
will need to be undertaken to deliver the entire site to the Board. The Board would also
require all services to be provided to the lot line, perimeter fencing and sidewalks on all
roads, including Nash Road.
8. STAFF COMMENTS
8.1 In order to discuss issues related to the proposal, the comments have been organized on the
basis of the following major topics:
• environmental issues
• neighbourhood design plan
• schools and parks
• density
• access to Faith United Church
parking issues
watershed study
8.2 Environmentallssues
Concern has been expressed by area residents regarding the potential impact of the proposed
subdivisions on sensitive environmental features in the Hancock Neighbourhood and the
aquatic habitat in Black Creek, as well as water supply to area wells. In particular, these
concerns have focused on the possible lowering of the water table as a result of urban
development and more direct impacts to on-site vegetation communities as a result of
construction activities and the activities of future residents. A number of reports have been
submitted by the proponent to identify the anticipated nature and level of these impacts and
to recommend measures to mitigate such impacts.
Many of the proposed mitigation measures are straightforward and easily implementable,
such as the installation of fencing to control access. However, other measures such as
infiltration trenches and measures to protect against thermal impacts on water quality, require
detailed design work. As noted by CLOC, the proponent must prepare detailed design and
implementation plans for each of the proposed mitigation measures to ensure that they are not
only effective, but in fact, they are implemented in the manner intended. In this regard, Staff
683
REPORT NO.: PD-107-98
PAGE 18
concur with CLOC's suggestion that the proponent develop an Environmental Construction
Management Plan, to the satisfaction of CLOC and the Municipality. This Plan would specify
how each of the proposed mitigation measures would be implemented, including project
management, site supervision and follow-up monitoring.
8.3 Neighbourhood Design Plan
The Clarington Official Plan requires the preparation of a Neighbourhood Design Plan prior to
the consideration of any plan of subdivision. The Clarington Official Plan states that "a
neighbourhood design plan is a visual interpretation of the future development of an entire
neighbourhood". They are utilized by Staff in reviewing subdivision applications for the
specific neighbourhood. They will also illustrate, for perspective purchasers, the land uses
proposed in the balance of the neighbourhood.
The Plans are intended to detail the following:
• all road alignments within a neighbourhood, including right-of-way widths and
required widenings;
• any walking or cycling trail systems, as well as future transit routes;
• the location of school, park and open space blocks, including storm water
management blocks; and,
• lotting patterns and densities.
An information report was presented to Council on October 21, 1996, advising of the
applicant's submission of an application to approve the Hancock Neighbourhood Design
Plan. As a result of consultation with Staff, and the circulation and subsequent revision of the
draft plans of subdivision within the neighbourhood, the Neighbourhood Design Plan was
revised (Attachment No.S) and was recently endorsed by Staff. The Neighbourhood Design
Plan for the Hancock Neighbourhood includes the following components:
• a context map;
• a constraints and opportunities map;
• a land use plan;
• a phasing plan;
• a transportation plan; and
• an open space and parks master plan.

REPORT NO.: PD-107-98
PAGE 19
A copy of the Hancock Neighbourhood Design Plan is available for inspection at the Planning
and Development Department during normal office hours. It should also be noted that Staff's
endorsement of the Neighbourhood Design Plan does not constitute any form of approval
under the Planning Act and does not impact upon the rights of the residents before the OMB.
8.4 School and Park Blocks
The Clarington Official Plan identifies both a Public Elementary School and a Neighbourhood
Park within the Hancock Neighbourhood. The original submission by the applicant did not
contain a School Block and had very little parkland. As a result of comments received
through the circulation process, and the negotiations with Staff relative to all referral issues,
the applicant has included a Block to partially accommodate a Public Elementary School and
has also increased the parkland dedication to 1.735 hectares.
As noted in Section 7.10 of this Report, the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board
requires the school site to be located entirely within the limits of this draft plan of subdivision.
When negotiating the purchase of lands for school purposes, the Board prefers to enter into
negotiations with a single property owner. As a result, the Public School Board has not
supported the proposed plan of subdivision. However, the position of the Kawartha Pine
Ridge District School Board may be too onerous in that the plan of subdivision is irregularly
shaped and only 10.828 hectares in size. Since the plan of subdivision has been referred to
the OMB, any concern from the School Board should be directed to the OMB.
While the developer will dedicate the Park Block to the Municipality, the subdivision
agreement will provide for the Municipality to compensate the applicant for any
overdedication. Furthermore, prior to final approval, funds for the construction of the
Neighbourhood Park, which abuts the school site to the north, must be approved for the
development to proceed.

REPORT NO.: PD-107-98
8.5 Density Issues
PAGE 20
These applications for draft plan of subdivision and rezoning were originally filed in 1992. In
the same year the applicant also filed for an Official Plan Amendment to the former Town of
Newcastle Official Plan. The population figure set under the former Official Plan was 1900
persons in total for the entire neighbourhood. The applicant sought to change this population
target to 4585 persons.
The issue of density has been the primary reason for the series of revisions to the original
application. The review and subsequent approval of the Clarington Official Plan resulted in a
population increase from 1900 persons to 2800. While this is an increase over the original
Official Plan, the original densities were not feasible under current conditions. However, in
recognition of the environmental constraints in this neighbourhood, Staff proposed using a
lower density factor in the Hancock Neighbourhood than in other parts of Courtice. The
lower density was, in part, to provide larger lot sizes which would incorporate existing
vegetation features and allow for greater infiltration of storm water. The applicant and Staff
have agreed on a target of 975 residential units and 2900 persons (up 100 from the proposed
Official Plan). The greater increase in persons is due to the use of more single detached units
which yield a greater population per unit than the medium density units.
8.6 Street Access to Faith United Church and other abutting lands
In order to ensure that the access was provided to allow for the development of the surplus
lands owned by Faith United Church and another landowner on Nash Road, Staff required
that Street E be incorporated into the plan of subdivision. The Neighbourhood Design Plan
provides for a cul-de-sac in this location to be constructed within the first phase of the
Neighbourhood.
8.7 Parking Issues
A concern has been raised by Council on the issue of on-street parking within urban
neighbourhoods. It is noted that, the applicant has submitted a parking plan, prepared by
686
REPORT NO.: PD-107-98
PAGE 21
G.M. Sernas and Associates, for the Clarington Public Works Department review and
comment. The Public Works Department noted the parking plan provides 91 on-street
parking spaces which greatly exceeds the minimum requirement of 28 on-street parking
spaces as per the guidelines of the Municipality with respect to the provision of on-street
parking.
It is also important to note that the subdivision is developing at a much lower density than
other Neighbourhoods, as detailed in Section 8.5 of this Report. This lower density and the
absence of townhouses do not appear to cause any future on-street parking problems.
8.8 Watershed Study
In April of 1998, the Friends of the Farewell made submissions to Regional and Clarington
Councils regarding the lack of watershed study for this Neighbourhood. The lack of a
watershed study for this Neighbourhood is addressed in Section 7.6 of Report PD-106-98 on
this agenda.
9. CONCLUSION
9.1 In conclusion, Staff recommend that Report PD-107-98 be endorsed as the Municipality's
position with respect to the revised draft plan of subdivision and zoning by-law amendment,
scheduled for an OMB pre-hearing to commence on September 24, 1998.
Respectfully submitted,
