3. BACKGROUND
3.1 On May 30, 1997, the Clarington Planning Department was circulated an
application to amend the Durham Region Official Plan filed by Imperial Oil Limited
on behalf of Ministry of Transportation. The purpose of the application is to
extend municipal sanitary services from the Newcastle Village sewage treatment
plant to the site to permit the commercial redevelopment of a 19,300 sq.ft.

Imperial Oil Limited would redevelop the gas station and kiosk. The servicing

5. OFFICIAL PLAN POLICIES
5.1 Within the Durham Region Official Plan, the subject lands are not located within
an area to be serviced by municipal sewage and water services. The Plan
contains no provisions for the extension of municipal sanitary services beyond the
urban areas. As a result, the applicant has applied to amend the policies to
permit an extension of municipal sanitary services from Newcastle Village to the
subject lands.

5.2 The Clarington Official Plan does not contain policies for the extension of sanitary
sewage services beyond urban areas. The allocation of sanitary sewage capacity
is a Regional responsibility. Should this amendment by approved, the Clarington
Official Plan would be deemed to be in conformity with the Durham Region
Official Plan.
6. AGENCY COMMENTS
6.1 The application was circulated to solicit comments from other relevant agencies.
The Clarington Fire Department has no objections to the application.
6.2 The Clarington Public Works - Engineering Division has indicated no objections
to the proposal provided that all requirements relating to the site plan application
are fulfilled.
7. STAFF COMMENTS
7.1 The existing development is serviced by private well and sewage tile bed and
spray irrigation system. The applicant has investigate a number of servicing
options for the development.
• An expansion of the existing sewage tile bed and spray irrigation system
was contemplated. A hydrogeological study indicated that the soils were
not conducive based on the size of the tile bed required for this
development. In order to accommodate the development, a 50 acre tile
bed and spray irrigation system would be required at a cost of $750,000,
excluding land acquisition costs. Land acquisition would be the
responsibility of Imperial Oil.
® A system of sewage storage and haulage was investigated. Costs to
operate such a system are estimated between $200,000 to $300,000 per
year. Based on a 20 year lease agreement with the Ministry of
6 990:8
REPORT NO. PD -96 -97 PAGE 4
Transportation, the sewage disposal costs would range between $4 to $6
iii
The final option would involve the extension of municipal sanitary services
from the Newcastle Village sewage treatment plant to the site. The cost for
this privately funded service extension is estimated between $1 to $1.25
million. A pipeline would be buried approximately 1.8 metres below the
surface within the Highway 401 right -of -way. The total length of the facility
is 4 km from Newcastle Village to the subject lands.
7.2 There are concerns that approval of the application could set a precedent
whereby residents in adjacent hamlets could request a further extension of
services. Staff do not feel that this could occur because this is a private venture,
not a public one. A condition of approval should stipulate that the applicant not
be permitted to further extend these services to adjacent hamlet areas.
7.3 From the discussion of the various servicing alternatives, the applicant favours the
extension of municipal sanitary services from Newcastle Village for this
development. Based on the comments provided in this report, Staff have no
objection to the APPROVAL of the extension of municipal sanitary services from
Newcastle Village to the subject lands.
Respectfully submitted,
Franklin Wu, M.C.I.P., R.P.P.,
Director of Planning
and Development
