OUR FILE: DEV 87-66
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration
Committee recommend to Council the following:
1. THAT Report PD-267-87 be lifted from table and be received for information;
and
2. THAT Report PD-303-87 be received; and
3. THAT the application for rezoning of Part of Lot 7, Concession 2, former
Township of Clarke, submitted by Jean Hall and Bernice Milligan, to permit
the development of one (1) additional residential lot be approved and the
By-law attached hereto be forwarded to Council for approval at such time as
a 0.3 Metre Reserve has been conveyed to the Town.
BACKGROUND AND COMMENT:
On October 19, 1987 Committee considered Staff Report PD-267-87 (copy attached) in
consideration of an application for rezoning submitted by Jean Hall and Bernice
Milligan to extend the limits of the "Residential Hamlet (RH)" zone to permit the
development of one (1) residential lot. Essentially, the applicants wish to
sever the parcel which supports the existing dwelling, thus creating a new building

lot to the east of the existing dwelling unit. This Report was tabled and
referred to Staff for further review and a subsequent report in consideration
of their request to sever the existing dwelling unit. In essence, the
applicant wishes to sever the parcel which supports the existing dwelling, thus
creating a new building lot. Staff, however, have indicated concerns regarding
the retained parcel, given that the supply and quality of water in Newtonville
remains unresolved.
It was noted that to ensure that the development of residential lots is not
premature, the Town's Official. Plan specifies that residential development
within a Hamlet may only proceed upon submission of an Engineering Report based
on test drilling to confirm the suitability of soil conditions for private
waste supplies and that there is adequate separation between the water tables
and septic the fields.
Staff has no objections to the creation of the new lot in principle, however,
in consideration of the above, could not support the approval of the Rezoning
Application thereby creating an additional new building lot. Staff would note,
in reviewing alternative controls to prevent the issuance of a building permit
on the vacant parcel, the applicant was advised of two (2) potential
alternatives. The first being the placement of a One Foot Reserve along, all
but 10 metres of frontage of the retained lands thereby preventing the issuance
of a building permit until an Engineering Study has been submitted. A second
alternative would involve the placing of a "(H) Holding" prefix on the vacant
parcel to be removed through a rezoning application, again, based on the
submission of an appropriate Engineering Study.
Staff would note for the Committee's information that the applicants have
indicated a preference to the placing of a One Foot Reserve along all but 10
metres of the frontage, to be lifted at such time as an Engineering Study has
been submitted and approved.
Staff would note that the remaining comments from the outside agencies, in
respect of the rezoning application, have been received. To that end, it is

noted that the Regional Planning Department has advised that the subject lands
are designated "Hamlet" and that residential development within a Hamlet shall
be limited to infilling and that the proposal is subject to the provisions
within the Town of Newcastle Official Plan.
Additionally, it is noted that the Ministry of Transportation requires a
minimum of 25.9 metre (85 feet) setback distance from the centreline of Highway
No. 2. Should Committee deem it appropriate to approve the application, Staff
would note that this condition could be satisfied in conjunction with the
submission of the Engineering Report prior to the lifting of the One Foot
Reserve and consideration of issuance of a building permit on the vacant
parcel.
As noted above, should the Committee deem it appropriate to approve the
application, Staff, as a condition of approval to the Land Division application
(LD 515/87), would require the placing of 0.3 Metre Reserve upon the frontage
of the retained lands. As noted previously, the rezoning application would
permit the severance of the existing single family dwelling. The further
development of the retained lands, as noted previously, would require the
submission of the appropriate Engineering Study supporting the development of
same.
Respectfully submitted, Recommended for presentation
