REPORT NO. WD-17-85
REPORT:
The property owners abutting the portion of Murphy Road from
the 10th Concession to the Boundary Road are shown on the
attached sketch. They are: Mr. Harold Murphy, Lot 2,
Concession 10 and Mr. Norman Hill , Lot 3, Concession 10.
These properties run the full length of the 10th Concession
and have access to the maintained portion of Murphy Road.
In discussion with Scugog staff, it was noted that the
Scugog Comprehensive Zoning By-law requires the Mitchells to
have a minimum of three hundred feet (300' ) of frontage on
an improved road in order to obtain residential building
permits. The construction of Murphy Road would not satisfy
the condition and a further three hundred feet (300' ) of
road into Scugog Township or along the boundary would be
required.
If Committee and Council wish to approve the request of Mrs.
Mitchell and ultimately the road is constructed and assumed,
the maintenance of Murphy Road and the portion of the
Boundary Road could be accommodated under a revised Boundary
Road Agreement. However, there would be no guarantee that
the neighboring municipality would continue the agreement in
future years and subsequently, the responsibility for
maintenance of Murphy Road would be vested in the Town of
Newcastle.

REPORT NO. WD-17-85
Scugog staff are not prepared to recommend that they
maintain any roads in the area due to the inaccessibility of
the land from their own road system. Further, Scugog staff
are also concerned with boundaries between mail areas,
school boards, and fire departments. Special agreements
between various agencies and boards would be required in
order to provide these essential services. Scugog staff
would recommend denial of development on the Mitchell 's
property.
It is, therefore, recommended that the recommendations of
WD-9-85 be approved in that the request of Mrs. Lynda
Mitchell be denied.
