T #: PD-228-87 FILE #: PLN. 4.1
CT: BOND HEAD RURAL CLUSTER ZONING
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration Committee
recommend to Council the following:
1. THAT Report PD-228-87 be received; and
* 2. THAT By-law 87- attached hereto to amend By-law 84-63, to increase the minimum
lot frontage requirement in the Bond Head Rural Cluster from "40 metres" to "50
metres" be forwarded to Council for approval.
BACKGROUND AND COMMENT:
On July 6, 1987, Committee, through its consideration of the Official Plan Amendment and
Rezoning applications submitted by Mr. & Mrs. S. Staby, resolved (Resolution #GPA-576-87)
to approve in principle the request of a number of Bond Head residents to increase the
minimum frontage of new lots within the Rural Cluster of Bond Head from 40 metres to 50
metres.
The Bond Head Development, as originally approved by Council, specified a minimum lot
frontage of 40 metres but, as a result of objections by area residents, was increased to

5U metres by the Ontario I'~lunicipal Board. The minimum frontage
requirement was re-established at 40 metres through the "RC-1" zone
provisions of By-law 84-63.
Staff note that the intent of the Bond Head Development Plan was to
control infilling and to limit development in the Bond Dead Cluster.
Through the review preceding the approval of the Corrrprehensive Zoning
By-law, it was felt that the intent of the Development Plan was
maintained with a 40 metre minimum frontage requirement. Staff have no
objection to increasing the frontage requirement of 50 metres, but feel
that specifying a maximum number of lots would be inappropriate inasmuch
as the maximum is limited to 50 lots on municipal water by Section
10.2.1.7 of the Durham Regional Official Plan. As well, if lots are
developed in accordance with the frontage and area requirements of the
"RC-1" zone, the maximum number of lots would not be exceeded.
Accordingly, it is recommended that the By-law attached to this report to
increase the minimum frontage requirement of new lots in the Bond Head
Rural Cluster from "40 metres" to "50 metres" be forwarded to Council for
approval.
