Report No. WD -56 -86
In 1978, the Town entered into a development agreement with Darlington
Industrials Ltd. and Marilyn Carswell for the development of an industrial
subdivision in Lots 27 & 28, Broken Front Concession, former Darlington
Township. The agreement provided that the developer would construct "the
works" as outlined in Schedule 'G' of the agreement, to the satisfaction of
the Director. Subsequently, a Certificate of Completion would be issued and
the works placed on a two year maintenance period with the appropriate
maintenance guarantee and, ultimately, accepted by the Town.
As previously reported, a certificate of completion was issued in May, 1979,
although all of the works had not been fully completed. It was understood
that the final lift of asphalt, ditching, and boulevard landscaping would be
completed during the two year maintenance period. However, due to a slow
moving industrial real estate market and possible cash flow difficulties,
the works were never completed and the developer's obligations with respect
to maintenance were not fulfilled. In the meantime, occupants of the
subdivision requested required road maintenance which Council endorsed,
however, the outstanding accounts produced by extraordinary maintenance
have not been satisfied.
Recent activity in the industrial real estate market has generated
applications from Darlington Industrials Ltd., to Land Division Committee to
sever lands for industrial development on Courtice Court. Public Work's
comments to the Land Division Committee on these applications were as
follows:
"The Industrial Subdivision in which the proposed Land Division Applications
are located is subject to an outstanding subdivision agreement which has not
been complied with. There are outstanding works to be completed,

outstanding accounts payable to the Town, and a need for letters of credit
to cover these matters. Accordingly, until the letters of credit are
reinstated and the terms of the subdivision are complied with, the Land
Division should be denied ".
In response to Works Department concerns and in an effort to reinstate the
development agreement to good standing, the engineer for Darlington
Industrials has submitted a works cost estimate for the outstanding works
required in the amount of $44,600.00, rounded off $45,000.00.
It is, therefore, recommended that the revised works cost estimate in the
amount of forty -five thousand dollars ($45,000.00) be approved and that upon
satisfactory reinstatement of letters of credit to guarantee completion of
the works, the subdivision agreement between Darlington Industrials Ltd. and
the Town of Newcastle be considered in good standing.
Respectfully submitted,
Gordon J. Ough, P. Eng.,
Director of Public Works.
