Application File "'"26-73-26
Northumberland and Durham
County Board of Education,owner,

Cobourg, Ontario,
for part of Village

Submission "A"26-73-26
Application was made for exemption from provisions of
sub -division control by-law 1592 as amended by by-law 1653
for permission to place 2 portable classrooms at a point
within 5' of side property line.
Yir. Gordon Savage, Accountant for Northumberland and Durham
County Board of Education, appeared on behalf of the applicant;
Ar. Douglas Moffat, Principal of Ur no Public School, Orono,
Ontnrio also appeared in support of this applic�tien. Ivo
other person appeared in support of or in opposition to this
application. Mr. Horace R. Best, Secretary of the 'Tanning
Board also appeared.
The following mate_ial was presented to the meeting:
1. A photostat sketch of the existing building and
portable classrooms and the proposed location
of two addi.tinnal portables;
Mr. Gordon Savage, under oath stated that due to the
tremendous enrolment this year of from 320 to 368 pupils
necessitates these additional portable classrooms. The the
bed is located rpt the rear and easterly side of the existing
public school building and 2 existing portables are already
located in the some general area. The only convenient location
left, therefore, is on the south westerly corner of the said
building and the size of the portables ana the space available
made the reduction in side yards necessary. It is anticipated
when Clarke Senior School is built that grnaes 7 & 2 .,ill attend
there, thus reducing the enrolment by 20 to 84 pupils.
Mr. D. mcffat, under oath, stated that or. David Nancekievill,
an abutting owner had approached him directly and was concerned
that the property on the north side of the school ground, which
borders Dor. Nancekievil.l's lot is not fenced. Mr. Moffat
explained that due to the e-rly freeze-up last year, the fence
was not built. The contract his been re -let and it is
anticinatod that the fence will be built this year. The bound ry
line is quite clearly injicnted by survey stakes.

Meeting Committee of Adjustment, September 25, 1973:
i-ir. Moffatt =urther stated that a fence had existed on the
south side of the prop,ert,, since before he came to the school,
some 7 or g 'y ---ars ago and it w. -s already fenced. There should
be no problem with the north houndrry. ::ecardinr_ the loc-tion
of the proposed portablas, these should be within a_ reasonable
proximity to the main building as there err- no washrooms in
lortable buildings.
Er. Horace R. Best, Secretary, F'1,inning Board, under oath,
confirmed Mr. r-;o_'fat's testimony, and a telephone call to
himself, re,arding :ir. Nancekievill's request for a fence.
The Committee, hay -ng heard the submissions of the representatives
of Northumberland and Durham County Board of ducat_on, decided
that it would be unnecessary to inspect the property as they had
previousl•• visited the site on March 17, 1973 i.n connection with
an applic<r)tion of an abuttinc owner immediately tc the south
of the school, one Thom -s G. "_tkins (ref. Submissi. on No. 11E"6-73-62:pr 25/73), They were, therefore, familiar with the grounds.
The %arionce requested here is very large percenta ewise
and, in the orinion o� the Committee, can only be justified
for the follo%ain; reasons:
1. Increase school enrolment makes it essential to
provide interim accommodaticn for pupils forthwith.
A permanent building progr<Fmce will, in the near
future, provide perm=vent accommod-_tion for nrades
7 & 8 and reduce the pressure in this loc=4tion.
The erection of these portables is, (,herefore, of a
temporary nature only;
2. Th- nature of the use is a "charitable use" being
"educt',.on" and,"non-profit educational" and "charitable
uses" are normally entitled to special considerm.tion.
hoplic tion for ar;..ov,l to place 2 portable classrooms on the South side
at a point within 5' of side nro�erty line is granted on motion
by K. Schoenmakcr, seconded by C.F.R. Osborne, subject to
the following conditions:
