BACKGROUND 1.1 Phase I of the Port of Newcastle was considered by the Council of the Municipality of Clarington in June of 1996 and Draft Approved by the Region of Durham on September 9, 1996. 1.2 The applicant has subsequently requested the Municipality to initiate the preparation of the Subdivision Agreement which will eventually facilitate the registration of the subdivision. 1.3 However, prior to the registration of the plan, all streets must be named to the satisfaction of the Municipality. The Municipality has implemented a policy of requiring street names which have a historical quality in relation to the property being developed. 699056 REPORT NO. PD -99 -97 PAGE 2 1.4 Alternatively, the applicant may select names from the Municipality's available street name list. These names were reserved with the Region of Durham for use by the Municipality of Clarington and most of the names were provided by the local branch of Royal Canadian Legion to honour local citizens who served their country in times of war. 2. PORT OF NEWCASTLE PHASE 1: PROPOSED STREET NAMES 2.1 In April of 1997, Kaitlin reviewed the Municipality's available street name list and selected the following names for use in conjunction with the subdivision: • Street B • Street C • Street G • Street H • Street I ® Street J • Street K • Street L • Street M Lakebreeze Drive Shipway Avenue Beacham Crescent Carveth Crescent Rosemeadow Crescent Caldwell Crescent Milligan Street Hodnett Crescent Stillwell Lane These names do not have to be approved by Council since they have already been reserved for use by the Municipality. 2.2 However, Kaitlin submitted names for Streets "A ", "D", "E" and "F" which did not appear on the Municipality's available street name list and as such these names must be approved by Council. The submitted names are as follows: • Street A - Port of Newcastle Drive • Street D - Waterview Lane • Street E - Bluenose Lane • Street F - Schooner Lane 2.3 Street "A" is a prominent street, being a gateway into the Port of Newcastle neighbourhood, and as such should have a name which reflects the prominence of both the street and the neighbourhood. The Port of Newcastle was established in the mid 1800's and has held a long history of importance to the surrounding community. As such, the Planning and Development Department is of the opinion 699057 REPORT NO. PD -99 -97 PAGE 3 that the name "Port of Newcastle Drive" is appropriate to both the neighbourhood and the historical nature of the surrounding area. 2.4 The street names proposed by the applicant for Streets "D ". "E" and "F" are variations of the nautical theme the applicant is proposing for the development of the neighbourhood. As such the Planning and Development Department is of the opinion that the names proposed for Streets "D ", "E" and "F" are appropriate. 3. CONCLUSION 3.1 In consideration of the comments contained within this report, the Planning and Development Department would have no objection to the approval of the following street names for Phase I of the Port of Newcastle: • Street A - Port of Newcastle Drive • Street D - Waterview Lane • Street E - Bluenose Lane • Street F - Schooner Lane Respectfully submitted, Franklin Wu, M.C.I.P., R.P.P., Director of Planning and Development WM *LDT *FW *cc Reviewed by, W.
