Report No. WD-23-87
REPORT:
Resolution C-509-86 requested staff to review Mr. Jackson' s request for
financial assistance to install a private driveway and report back to
G.P.A.C.
Attached is a summary of Mr. Ken Jackson' s delegation to Council requesting
the Town to pay for half the cost of constructing his driveway. Staff have
been unable to confirm any intentions of the Corporation of the Town of
Newcastle or the former Police Village of Orono to expropriate Mr. Jackson's
house for road alignment purposes.
Mr. Jackson has indicated that he purchased the property approximately
seventeen years ago and that when he purchased the property in question the
situation with respect to access to his property was as it is today. Mr.
Jackson's property is two to three feet lower than Mill Street at
the location where he wishes to construct his driveway and there would
appear to be nothing preventing him from proceeding with the driveway
construction as long as he takes precautions not to block up the drainage
from the property to the north.
i
Mr. Jackson indicates the older residents in le area have told him that the
road grade was raised approximately one foot when it was last reconstructed
over twenty years ago.

Report No. WD-23-87
Parking in Orono, and especially in this area, is a challenge to many and to
agree to contribute to the cost of constructing a private driveway for Mr.
Jackson would be setting what could be a far reaching precedent. Mr.
Jackson is presently parking his family car in his daughter's driveway
several houses north of hi.s home and on the east side of Mill Street and
does manage to get in and out of his laneway beside the house with a half
ton truck from time to time.
Mr. Jackson' s home is the third house north of the "Y" junction of Mill
Street and Regional Road 17 on Mill Street (see attached) .
It is recommended that Mr. K. Jackson' s request for financial assistance to
Install a driveway be denied.
Respectfully submitted, Recommended for presentation
to the Committee,
Gordon J. Ough, P. Eng. , Lawrence -. Kotseff,
Director of Public Works. Chief d i istrative Officer .

Mr. Ken Jackson, Mill Street, Orono, was present to ask the
Town's s
financial
assistance sta

ri
a
9 Mr.
Jackson has been to
Y
Council several times regarding his parking
problem. Recently, the land in front of his home has been
turned back to him and the telephone pole that existed in the
centre of the proposed driveway has been moved. Some time ago
the intention was to expropriate his house and two others for road
widening. At that time, the road was raised 3 to 4 feet higher
than his laneway, making it impossible to establish a driveway.
Over the years, his family has received many parking tickets.
The cost of installing the driveway will be $1 ,080.00. He
asks that the Town assume one-half of the driveway costs.
Mr. Joe Mark, R.R. 1, Newtonville, LOA 1JO, was present to
ask the Council to have the Public Works Department install a
used or new culvert in a section of the unopened road allowance j
in the 3rd Concession of Clarke, abutting his property; then
dump 1 or 2 loads of gravel fill onto the road in this area and j
level it off. He also requests that the Town make a used culvert
available to him and a supply of gravel fill . He has the
equipment to install the culvert; to truck the gravel and level
off the road. Mr. Mark is making this request because this
unopened road allowance is the only access he has to approximately ) s
45 acres of woodland at the back of his 200 acre farm. This land
is separated from his main farm by Foster Creek. The lumber,
firewood and fence posts derived from this land is vital to the
maintenance and building plans of his farm. Approximately 100
feet of the road allowance extends through a low swampy area
created by water run-off from the hills. Improvement of the
unopened road would make the right-of-way more passable for
his farm equipment and any fire equipment if the need arises. 'C
Mr. Ron Armstrong, & Jones,
9� Solicitors, 130 King St. E. , �
Oshawa, was present on behalf of Ray Abbott & Murray Marchant,
Tyrone. Mr. Jones referred to item #11 of the General Purpose
and Administration Committee Report. Presently, his clients
have 5 different applications submitted to establish their
proposal . An application is before the Land Division Committee
which has been tabled. Applications have been submitted to
Amend the Hamlet Plan; to amend the Official Plan, to extend
the Hamlet of Tyrone; to Rezone the lands to conform with the
Official Plan, and to create the proposed subdivision.
