BACKGROUND 3.1 The subject application for Official Plan Amendment was received by the Municipality of Clarington Planning and Development Department this past August. The proposal seeks to introduce a symbol for a Secondary School for the Separate School Board. The proposed site would provide for a new secondary school site to replace the existing facility currently being rented. 3.2 The applicants total holdings extend from the Scugog Street - Middle Road intersection north to Concession Road 3 on the west side of Middle Road. The proponent was granted Draft Approval in October of 1990 for a total of 212 units, 160 single family dwelling units, 52 semi-detached/link dwelling units and a 1.104 ha (2.73 acre) park block. In November 1991, revised conditions of Draft Approval were issued increasing the total number of units to 218, 104 single family dwelling units and 114 semi-detached/linked dwelling units. 3 . 3 The proposed Secondary Separate School site would occupy approximately 6.48 ha of land and eliminate 52 single family dwelling units, 40 semi-detached/link dwelling units along wi th associated roads. Furthermore, the applicant is suggesting an additional 20 single family dwelling units be put on hold to allow for the construction of a temporary stormwater pond to facilitate development of the secondary school site. The proposed school development does not propose to impact the previously draft approved park block. 4 EXISTING AND SURROUNDING USES 4.1 The existing site is currently vacant with pockets of trees and shrubs. . . .,3 502 REPORT NO.: PD-131-93 PAGE 3 4.2 Surrounding land uses are as follows: South: existing residential fronting on Scugog Street and Mill Lane, as well as vacant lands subject to Draft Approved development applications.

Within the Council approved 1991 Durham Regional Official Plan the subject lands are designated "Living Area". Policies in both plans encourage the development of the widest variety possible of housing types size and tenure. A school use is permitted in both the residential and Ii ving area designations. The application would appear to conform. . . .4 503 REPORT NO.: PD-131-93 PAGE 4 6.2 within the Official Plan of the former Town of Newcastle, the subject property is designated "Low Density Residentialll. There are currently no Secondary School sites for the Separate School Board designated within the Bowmanville Major Urban Area.

To date comments remain outstanding from all circulated agencies and departments with the exception of the Fire Department and Claringtori Hydro which both provided comments advising they have no objection to the proposal. 9 STAFF COMMENTS 9.1 The subject application proposes to introduce a Secondary School symbol for the Separate School Board on the subject lands.
