DANARUS MANAGEMENT GROUP
PART LOT 29, CONCESSION 2, NEWCASTLE VILLAGE
FILE: 18T-81008
RECOP7MENDATIONS:
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration
Committee recommend to Council the following:
1. THAT Report PD-302-87 be received for information.
BACKGROUND AND COMMENT:
As Committee may recall, Staff Report PD-221-87 in respect to the extension of
draft approval for Plan of Subdivision 18T-81008, was considered by Committee and
Council at their respective meetings of September 21, 1987 and September 28, 1987.
Staff would acknowledge that, to that end, the following resolution was endorsed:
"THAT Report PD-221-87 be received; and
THAT the Region of Durham be advised that the Town of Newcastle does not
support the extension of draft approval for Plan of Subdivision 18T-81008."
Regional Planning Staff, in consideration of the applicant's request for a draft
extension provided Report No. 87-204 for the consideration of Regional Planning
Committee at their regular scheduled meeting of November 10, 1987. It is noted for
the Committee's information that the recommendation contained within Report 87-204
noted as follows:

REPORT NO.: PD-302-87
PAGE 2
"1. THAT Staff be directed to extend draft approval of subdivision
18T-81008 and to amend the conditions of draft approval by adding a
condition requiring the Owner to carry out any necessary road
improvements to the intersection of Old Kingston Road and Highway No.
2 to the satisfaction of the Tovm of Newcastle and the Ministry of
Transportation; and
2. THAT the Owner, the Town of Newcastle and the Ministry of
Transportation be advised of Council's decision."
In consideration of the above-noted recommendation, Regional Council, at their
subsequent meeting of November 17, 1987 endorsed the above recommendation.
As contained within previous Reports and requests for extensions of draft
approval, Staff has expressed a concern pertaining to the temporary access onto
King Street for the Plan of Subdivision. This concern was due to the fact that
there had been no applications made regarding the development of any adjacent
lands surrounding the subject property. Staff would note that the Region, in
commenting on the request for draft extension, indicated that recent discussions
with Ministry Staff confirm that as the proposed development was relatively
small, the traffic generated could be accommodated if improvements were made to
the intersection of Old Kingston Road with Highway No. 2. This position would
seem to differ with that provided by Ministry Staff in Staff's consideration for
draft extension. Ministry Staff indicated that:
"This Ministry has definite concerns with the .location of the Temporary
Access as shown on the draft plan. It is our understanding that the
draft plan to the west of the subject lands under File: 18T-75493 is
no longer active. In the past, this Ministry has had problems with
Temporary Access points becoming permanent entrances where no other
means of access exist. On this basis we advise that an access to this
location would result in congestion at the intersection of Old
Kingston Road with Highway No. 2 and impact the flow of traffic along
Highway No. 2. Should an alternative access to these lands be
provided, we would be in a position to offer further comment."
Tt is Staff's position that the necessary road improvements to the intersection
of Old Kingston Road and Highway No. 2 would include the closure of Old Kingston
road abutting Highway No. 2 and provision of a cul-de-sac thereby restricting
vehicular traffic onto Highway No. 2. Any traffic generated from the

subdivision would, accordingly, travel westerly along Old Kingston Road to
Rudell Road and southerly to Highway No. 2. At such time that the Plan of
Subdivision is developed in conjunction with adjacent lands, the Temporary
Access would be deleted and the lots presently fronting Old Kingston Road would
be serviced by means of a cul-de-sac.
Notwithstanding the above-noted comments, Staff would advise, that should
Committee and Council not concur with the Region of Durham's extension to draft
approval, since approval was granted under the old Planning Act, an application
pursuant to the provisions of Section 55(3) of the Planning Act, 1980 could be
made thereby referring the draft plan of subdivision to the Ontario Municipal
Board.
As noted previously, it is Staff's position, unless advised to the contrary that
the necessary road improvements to the intersection of Old Kingston Road and
Highway No. 2 would proceed as described in the above-noted comments.
Respectfully submitted,
