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: ...2 ~~9~ 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 ...3 REPORT NO.: PD-302-87 v c9~ PAGE 3 e 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.
