The Secr­t?ry-Treasurer presented the following material to the meeting: ............... Page 3 Meeting Committee of Adjustment, Sept. 10, 1973. 1. Correspondence from W. K. Lycett, C'.C., Barrister & Solicitor, Orono, Ont., under date of August 15, 19732— ,e again make application on behalf of Bernard Callanan for separation of a portion of his lands comprising part Lot 29, Concession 5, Clarke in the Village of Orono and being part of Block 9 according to Hanning's Plan, all as per survey copy of which is enclosed for your information. These same lands were the subject of a prior application filed with you under number 296-71. I believe that consent was granted to sever at that time however no conveyance was submitted for endorsement of consent in the time provided for under the Planning Act, so therefore consent has expired and thus this application becomes necessary. In view of the results of the former application we see no difficulty in the matter and trust you will bring this matter up at your next meeting. Signed "W. K. Lycett". 2. Correspondence from Robert A. Edmunds, P.Eng., Counties Engineer's Office, Counties Building, Cobourg, Ont., under date of September 4, 1973, —"Phe Counties Road and Bridge Committee has reviewed the Aprlication for Consent to divide Mr. Callanan's property on County Road 472 in Orono. As you know, if this consent is granted, the Counties would be required to approve another entrance onto the County Road. In our opinion the existing entrance to the Callanan home and garage is a hazard to those using it and the County Road. Another entrance- south of the existing one would only increase the problem. The Counties Road and Bridge Committee opposes the grant— ing of this severance until such time as a proper and safe solution to the access problem is made. Signed "Robert A. Edmunds, P.Eng., Counties' Engineer and Road Superintendent." This is an application by Mr. Bernard Callanan for consent to the same severance previously granted to him under application "B"296-71-234 dated May 31, 1971. Since the time of the previous application the VLA were concerned and similar other factors intervened and the applicant allowed the 2 year period to elapse before presenting a deed for certification. While this Committee have never considered itself by the rule of stare decisis, common sense would dictate that given the same facts, the Committee Urould consistently reach the same conclusion. The only possible exception to this situation would be where intervening legislation had changed the rules under which severances should be granted. The Committee have carefully looked into the question of intervening by—laws and statutory requirements and are unaware of any circumstantial material to this decision. The Committee noted that a letter was received from the office of the County engineer, Cobourg, Ontario, contents of which are included in this decision. At one time there was a request on behalf of the applicant for additional entrances south of his present entrance and the Committee, upon inspecting the site, refusedthese entre.nces mainly because of the grade of the road and the elevation of the embankment adjacent to the road. The Committee are aware of "United Counties of Northumberland and Durham GUIDELINES CONCERNING DEV'_LOrEi-N ADJ:CE:JT TO CCUNTY ROADS", dated July 27, 1973, received from Clerk—Treasurer, Ken Symons, Cobourg, Ont.-�rio. ................... Page 4 Meeting Committee of Adjustment, Sept. 10, 1973. Attempts were made to contact Mr. Robert A. Edmunds, Counties Engineer, by telephone, but he was unavailable and the Committee feel that he has probably remembered this particular problem and is of the opinion that this present application #11B"40-73-401 is a renewal of former applications which requested extra entrances, #11B"12772-101 4#"3"-13-72-11, .$"B"14-72-12, dated May 5, 1972, which were refused by the Committee on July 4, 1972. Upon cross examination of the applicant, Mr. Callanan, the Committee were satisfied that he wasnerfectly aware that the Com- mittee were in no way recommending additional entrances to the one which he already uses and access is a matter beyond the Committees' control. Bearing in mind all these facts, this application for Consent to a prior application (4296-71-234) so tliat a deed may be certified is granted on motion by E.F.R. Osborne, seconded by K. Schoenmaker, carried. CLASSIFICATIOI•I Sec 4 "Rl" Application File No. "A1124-73 Home Smith Properti,os Limited, 123 Edward Street, Toronto, Ontario, Owner, Charles Ewert 3.A.

Ewert, under oath, indicated on the Plan of Survey the discrepancy which he stated to he 19.961. The front yard requirement under section Appendix 1, sub. sec. (d) of the by-law is 201, therefore, the difference in this measurement is .A4'. This was really a matter of a survey error and the differentiation is microscopic. The Committee perused the Plan of Survey and concluded that this was a very minor error and there would be no need to inspect the property.

Correspondence from "Louis Bellefontaine, President of Newcastle Mushroom Farms Ltd., dated July -25, 1973; "Attached please find an application for consent to sever a lot for the construction of one agricultural dwelling on lot 24 B.F. Concession Clarke Township. This lot consists of 9.7 acres and is zoned for agricultural use containing one mushroom plant as shown on the attached drawing. The property and buildings are owned by Newcastle Mushroom Farms Ltd. with the Industrial Development Bank holding a Mortgage secure loan. The undersigned is currently arranging for the acquisition of all shares of Newcastle Mushroom Farms Ltd..and in light of this development I wish to apply for a'building permit to construct a family dwelling on this lot as I understand this complies with present regulations. The department of health has inspected the property for sewage facilities and this location offers all that is required to comply with all department of health regulations. The construction of a family dwelling on this lot requires the writer to obtain a mortgage for the necessary funds. As a result a severance is necessary in order to obtain a deed to the lot for the mortgage company. A residence at the mushroom plant is necessary for caretaking and maintenance, picking and crop surveillance. When consent is granted to sever a lot on this site there is no intent of offering this lot or dwelling for sale nor is there intent to construct another dwelling on the remaining portion of land that contains the mushroom plant. The deed for the severed lot would however be registered in my name or that of my wife. With new regional government in the immediate offing and my urgent need for a family dwelling I throught it appropriate to make application now so that consideration could be given by those who have local interest and concern. The writer has discussed this severance with I.D.B. and has their approval of this application. I trust the committee of adjustment will see fit to investigate this application at their earliest convenience. (sgd.)

Page 15 Meeting Committer of Adjustment, September 10, 1973: 1. Correspondence from Messrs. Swartz & Swartz, Barristers &. Solicitors, Oshawa, Ontario, dated 22nd August, 1973: "'.s background information, we wish to advise you that the property penciled in, and parts 4 & 5 on the Reference Ilan were owned by Alice Nary Jones who died on June 2S, 1972. By her Last Will and Testament, she devised this land to her son Charles Melville Jones, the Applicant herein. Charles Melville Jones was and is also the owner of E'arts 1,2,3,6 & 7 on the Reference Flan. Mr. Jones has entered into an Agreement of Purchase and Sale for the sale of Parts 1;2,324,526 & 7 on the Reference 'Plan. However, he wishes to ret=in the two pieces of land which we have penciled in on the Plan and which were devised to him by his mother. As we are sure you can see, if Por. Jones and his mother had entered the Agreement of Purchase and Sale prior to his motter's death in 1972 and his mother had agreed to sell parts 4 & 5 and Mr. Jones had agreed to sell parts 1,2,3,6 & 7 to the perspective purchaser, no Consent would have been required."

Jones, under oath, indicated on the Plan of Survey The lands he wishes to sell and the lands he wishes to retain. Also shown on the said plan and outlined in "ink" is an area of a proposed lot south of "rose Street". Following a lengthy discussion Joel R. Falter B.A., LL.B., agent for the applicant briefly outlined the reason for the application which in its simplest form may be summarized as follows: Charles Melville Jones, the applicant; wns both the owner in fee- simple of certain lands being part of Lot S, Concession 1, Township of Clarke, now part of the Hamlet cf Newtonville, Ontario, and the beneficiary inheriting, certain other lands in the some area under the terms of his mother's will, Mrs. Alice Jones. Mr. M41ville Jones is the co-executor of the Will of Alice Jones along with his wife. Mr. Jones wishes to retain part of the lands he owns and to sell the remainder. Because of this particular situation of being both the owner in fee simple of some lands and the beneficiary inheriting other lands, a planning problem of merging has arisen. Mr. Palter, in order to clarify title in a proposed sale to Mr. Stanley Gujda wishes to hove the deed approved in order to put the validity of the transfer of property beyond any doubt because of the cloud on title caused by the Planning Act, since some of the lands abut. Iyir. K. Scnoenm-ker, member, pointed -ut that if the applicaticn were granted under the special terms suggested by Ir. Ealter, the lot on the south side of Rose Street would be an undersized lot in a "RR" zone. Mr. Palter requrested the Committee to consider either J permitting this land to be sold to Mr. Gujda, the proposed purchaser, as part of the entire transaction or alternatively permit it to be enlarged so that Mr. Jones will retain a 1 acre lot and, if possible, this election to be given to the purchaser. Application adjourned to enable the Committee to icspect the property. CLASSIFICA.TIC N "RR"" C C Page 16 Meeting Committee of :adjustment September 10, 1973: Application File "3"332-71 W.
