2. EXISTING AND SURROUNDING LAND USES
2.1 The lands subject to the applications are currently used for agricultural purposes and
are located in Part Lot 28, Concession 3, former Township of Darlington (see Attachment No.
2). The surrounding land uses include.
North -woodlot; open space
South -large lot residential
East -woodlot
West -large lot residential
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 former Official Plan did
allocate a population of 1000 people, established a collector road network, and delineated a
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.

3.2 Plan of Subdivision and Rezoning Applications
In December of 1994, the applicant applied to the Region of Durham for the approval of the
plan of subdivision (18T-94027). The applicant also filed the zoning amendment application
(DEV94-067) with the Municipality in December of 1994. Council's position with respect to
these two development applications was to refer the application 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 recommended on the
disposition of outstanding Official Plan Amendments, Neighbourhood Plan Amendments,
and all related applications. The Officiai Plan Amendment was approved as provided for in
the Clarington Official Plan. The Neighbourhood Plan Amendment application was closed
as the Courtice North Neighbourhood Plan had been repealed by Council on January 29,
1996. 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
69910
REPORT NO.: PD- 108-98
PAGE 5
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) as outlined in
Section 3.4 below.
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 application 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;
• the subject application for draft plan of subdivision 18T-94027;
• the subject application for rezoning DEV 94-067;
• the southerly application for draft plan of subdivision 18T-92014; and,
• the southerly application for rezoning DEV 92-033;
• 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 12, 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
Municipality and Courtice Heights Developments, which are parties to the hearing, the
699011

PAGE 6
following persons have identified to the Board 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 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, 1998 Public Meeting was given as follows
• Public Meeting signs for the revised application were installed on the lands subject to
draft plan of subdivision; 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
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, 1998 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
east corner of the neighbourhood and a smaller woodlot in the southwest quadrant have also
been designated as Environmental Protection Areas.
69903
REPORT NO.: PD- 108-98
PAGE8
The predominant use 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. Tableland
Woodlots have also been identified in the northeast corner of the neighbourhood, in the
southwest quadrant, and at the eastern boundary midway up Hancock Road.
The Lake Iroquois Beach is identified in recognition of its extensive forested areas and
wildlife habitat, and its locally significant functions of groundwater discharge and recharge.
This proposed plan of subdivision is designated Urban Residential with a Medium Density
symbol. The site also contains part of the collector road network for the Neighbourhood.
The proposal conforms with provisions of the Clarington Official Plan, as amended by
Amendment No. 10, forwarded by Report PD-106-98, on this agenda.
6. ENVIRONMENTAL REPORTS
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
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 report indicates that groundwater flow in the shallow zone does not
contribute directly to the maintenance of baseflow to Black Creek.
699u4
REPORT NO.: PD- 108-98
PAGE 9
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 on 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.
6.2 Environmental Impact Report (EcoPlans Limited)
The vegetation communities found in 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
699u15
REPORT NO.: PD- 108-98
PAGE 10
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
sized, 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 activities on the adjacent parcels owned
by Courtice Heights Developments. Awell-developed understorey which has regenerated
along the edge acts as a buffer to the woodland interior.
The report indicates that 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
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
b99~i i 6
REPORT NO.: PD- 108-98
PAGE 11
stewardship program to educate future residents on maintenance of woodlot values.
Old 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 ephemeral 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 community 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 located
is not 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 community can be considered at such time as a
development proposal is submitted for these properties. These measures could include the
699u17
REPORT NO.: PD- 108-98
PAGE 12
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 expected 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 riparian 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.
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.

REPORT NO.: PD- 108-98
PAGE 13
The Conditions of Draft Approval for the proposed subdivision 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 the subdivision had
been identified as having a high potential for the discovery of archaeological remains. The
Ministry requested that the applicant provide an archaeological assessment of the site, which
was conducted and submitted in 1995. No remains were found and the Ministry is now
satisfied that concerns for cultural heritage resources have been met.
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.
The Regional Works Department considers the draft plan of subdivision to be non-sequential
with respect to the provision of regional sanitary sewer and water services. However, they
have no objection to the further processing of the application. The following comments were
provided to the OMB along with a list of the conditions of draft approval:
699~i9
REPORT NO.: PD- 108-98
PAGE 14
• Municipal water supply will require an extension of a 300 mm watermain on Courtice
Road from Nash Road to approximately 800 metres north of Nash. A second watermain
feed will be required from Nash Road, through the south plan of subdivision (18T-
92014), and on easements to be obtained by the applicant, to the south limit of plan 18T-
94027.
• The proposed development is on a two way sanitary sewage drainage area. The lands
can drain south, along Courtice Road, then westerly through easements, which must be
obtained, to the sanitary sub-trunk sewer situated at Trulls Road and Nash Road.
Alternatively, they can drain south through acquired easements, to the sub-trunk sewer
located on Nash Road at Fewster Street.
• The revised plan shows a permanent access to Courtice Road from Street A. A 10m x 5m
sight triangle is required at this intersection.
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 request 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 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.
• the applicant must construct to full municipal standards, the extension of Street °A" which
is a connecting link for the north limit of plan 18T-92014 to the south limit of this plan.

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 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 1 to 22;
• 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 1 to 22 the owner agrees to install fencing
along the east property limits of the lots.
7.8 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". However, the condition will be implemented
through the conditions of draft approval for the related plan of subdivision 18T-92014 to the
south.
7.9 Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board Comments
The Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board has requested that this plan of subdivision
not be approved until plan of subdivision 18T-92014, which contains the school site, is
approved.

PAGE 17
8.1 In order to discuss the issues related to the proposal, the comments have been organized on
the basis of the following major topics:
• environmental issues
• neighbourhood design plan
growth management
density
parking issues
• watershed study
8.2 Environmentallssues
Concern has been expressed by the 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 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. 5) 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;

8.4 Growth Management
Section 5.3.6 of the Clarington Official Plan states that in considering an application for
approval and phasing of residential development the Municipality shall seek to ensure,
among other matters the sequential development of neighbourhoods and the prevention of
"leap frogging" of vacant lands.
The Official Plan also states that in the approval of a draft plan of subdivision, the
Municipality will recommend appropriate conditions to implement the policies of Section
5.3.6, and final approval for registration of any plan of subdivision, in whole or in part, may
not be granted unless the Municipality is satisfied that the principles of Section 5 have been
meet.
Section 5.3.9 gives Council the authority to declare a residential draft plan of subdivision to
be premature and recommend that it not be approved if any of the following apply:
• the plan does not implement the principles contained in Section 5.3.6;
• the municipal wide non-residential assessment is less than 15 percent of total assessment;
• the capital works services required to service the lands and the future residents are not
within the Municipality's current capital budget or 10 year capital works forecast; or
• Council is of the opinion that the Municipality's administrative and financial resources are
not sufficient to provide an adequate level of service for those residents who would be
accommodated in the proposed plan of subdivision, as well as to provide and maintain
an adequate level of services for existing residents and residents who will live in
developments which have been approved by the Municipality.
Both Regional and Clarington Public Works Departments have noted the non-sequential
nature of this plan of subdivision and have indicated additional requirements that the
applicant must satisfy to enable the development of these lands.
Staff's opinion is that the issue of growth management with respect to this plan of subdivision
is an issue of sequential development and not an issue of prematurity. The basis for this
position is that the works required for the development of this plan of subdivision are
provided for within the Development Charges By-law, although the works are not currently
699u~5
REPORT NO.: PD- 108-98
PAGE 20
budgeted for.
Nevertheless, the conditions of draft approval contain several conditions which are quite
onerous to the owner including conditions which:
• require the acquisition of additional external lands for storm water management purposes;
• require the acquisition of additional external lands to provide for a connecting link on
Street "A" between the north plan of subdivision (18T-94027) and the south plan of
subdivision (18T-92014);
• prevent development until external works, which are provided for in the Development
Charges By-law, are budgeted for; and
• prevent development in this plan of subdivision until permits have been issued for 75°l0
of the total housing units in the south plan of subdivision (18T-92014).
Since prematurity is not an issue, Staff are of the opinion that the conditions of draft approval
will allow for the development of the neighbourhood to proceed in the sequential manner.
8.5 Density Issues
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
699U~6
REPORT NO.: PD- 108-98 PAGE 21
which yield a greater population per unit than the medium density units.
8.6 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
G.M. Sernas and Associates, for the Clarington Public Works Department review and
comment. The Public Works Department noted the parking plan provides 153 on-street
parking spaces which greatly exceeds the minimum requirement of 51 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.
8.6 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-108-98 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.
