1.0 APPLICATION DETAILS
1.1 Applicant/Owner: Municipality of Clarington
1.2 Proposal: To extend the lapsing date for draft approved Plan of Subdivision
S-C-2005-0005 until May 2016 fora 19 single detached unit
project.
1.3 Area: 1.34 ha
1.4 Location: The subject lands are located on the northwest corner of Baseline
Road and Spry Avenue. The lands are municipally known as 200
Baseline Road, located in Part Lot 13, Concession 1, of the former
Town of Bowmanville (see Attachment 1).
2.0 BACKGROUND
2.1 On May 12, 2008, an application for proposed Draft Plan of Subdivision S-C-2005-0005
was issued draft approval. The draft approved plan includes 19 lots for single detached
dwellings. The plan also provides an alignment for the extension of John Scott Avenue
to Spry Avenue, and a new cul-de-sac labeled as Street `A'.
2.2 A standard provision within the conditions of draft approval indicates that if final
approval of the plan is not given within three years of the draft approval date, draft
approval will lapse and the file shall be closed. However, reasonable extensions to draft
approval may be granted by the approval authority. These provisions are authorized
under Sections 51(32) and 51(33) of the Planning Act, where approval authorities may
provide that the approval of a draft Plan of Subdivision lapses after a period of no less
than three (3) years. The approval authority may extend the approval for a time period
specified by the approval authority and may further extend it; but no extension is
permissible if the approval lapses before the extension is given. The approval for draft
Plan of Subdivision S-C-2005-0005 will lapse on May 12, 2011 if an extension is not
granted.
3.0 STAFF COMMENTS
3.1 The purpose of this report is to consider whether the conditions of draft approval for
S-C-2005-0005 should lapse on May 12, 2011 as scheduled, or should be reasonably
extended.
3.2 Development of the site requires substantial fill to ensure that portions of the proposed
development are not within the flood plain of the Bowmanville Creek. Preliminary
engineering for the development suggested that the fill removed through the creation of
ponds on the east side of Spry Ave, north of Baseline Road in keeping with the plans for
Valleys 2000 could be used to accommodate the proposed residential development.

3.3 The lands are now considered intensification development within the built-up boundary
of Bowmanville according to the Provincial Growth Plan. The Growth Plan was not in
place when the lands were originally draft approved.
3.4 A servicing agreement with the Region of Durham is not in place for the subject lands.
Current servicing restrictions on the Port Darlington Water Pollution Control Plant
means that the subject lands cannot proceed in the immediate future as a result of a
lack of sanitary service capacity. Although construction of the plant expansion is
expected to commence as early as next January, additional sewage capacity is not
expected to be available until at least sometime in 2014.
3.5 The Regional Planning Department advised that the comments in their letter dated
January 4, 2006 remain applicable. Provincial interest would not appear to be affected
by the proposed draft approval extension. The Region has no objection to the
extension of draft approval provided their previous conditions of draft approval are still
applicable.
3.6 Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority staff advised they have no objection to the
extension of draft approval and request that all their previous conditions of draft
approval remain applicable.
3.7 The planning policies relating to growth management, at the regional and local level, are
in a state of change and will continue to be for some time in order to conform with the
Provincial Growth Plan. However, Staff are confident that the draft approved Plan of
Subdivision is consistent with Provincial Policy as the subject application constitutes an
intensification development within the built-up boundary of Bowmanville. Staff are also
cognizant that it may take some time to fulfill the conditions due to the recent market
conditions and the sanitary servicing constraint in Bowmanville. There is nothing in the
Planning Act or Clarington Official Plan to discourage extensions of draft approval for a
Plan of Subdivision.
4.0 CONCLUSION
4.1 In consideration of the comments noted above, Staff recommends approval of an
extension of draft approval until May 2016.
