Biddle & Associates 1.3 Zoning: from Environmental Protection (EP) to an appropriate zone in order to permit the development of three (3) additional single family dwellings. 1.4 Area: .2 hectares (.494 acres) 2 REPORT NO. PD- 2 -96 PAGE 2 2. BACKGROUND 2.1 The subject lands are located on the west side of Worthington Drive directly across from Sagewood Avenue in the Courtice Major Urban Area. The property is known as Block 81 in Registered Plan of Subdivision 1OM -832 which was registered in November, 1989. 2.2 In January of 1995, the applicant's consultant submitted a geotechnical report which indicated that the site had a high safety factor and outlined measures to be taken during the development process. As a result, the applicant's consultant included Block 81, Plan 1 OM -832 within the limits of the Draft Approved Plan of Subdivision 18T -89053 directly to the north. An amendment to Draft Approval was issued in May of 1995 which allowed the creation of three (3) additional single family lots. In order to implement the amendment to draft approval, the applicant has to amend Comprehensive Zoning By -law 84 -63. 3. PUBLIC NOTICE AND SUBMISSIONS 3.1 Pursuant to Council's resolution of July 26, 1982 and the requirements of the Planning Act, the appropriate signage acknowledging the application was installed on the subject lands. In addition the appropriate notice was mailed to each landowner within the prescribed distance. 3.2 As a result of the public notification process, the Planning and Development Department has received three (3) written submissions with respect to the proposal. The first letter was submitted by the Friends of the Farewell who opposed the application for environmental reasons. The second letter was from an abutting property owner who requested that the rear property line for the most southerly lot be reconfigured in order to provide an unobstructed view of the valley from his property. The third submission was from an area resident who requested that the development incorporate an access point to the valleyland. ....3 REPORT NO. PD- 2 -96 PAGE 3 4.1 Within the Durham Regional Official Plan, the subject property is designated in part as a Living Area and in part as Major Open Space while the Official Plan for the former Town of Newcastle designates the subject property in part Residential and in part Hazard Lands. 4.2 Hazard Lands shall be primarily for the preservation and conservation of natural land and shall be managed in a fashion as to compliment adjacent land uses. The exact extent of Hazard Lands shall be determined in consultation with the local Conservation Authority and identified in the Comprehensive Zoning By -law. 4.3 Within the Living Area and Residential designations, the predominant use of land shall be for housing purposes and therefore, the application would appear to conform with both the Regional Official Plan and the Official Plan for the former Town of Newcastle. 5.1 Within Comprehensive Zoning By -law 84 -63, as amended, of the former Town of Newcastle, the subject property is zoned "Environmental (EP) ". As the applicant intends to develop the subject lands with three (3) single family dwellings, the applicant has applied to amend By -law 84 -63 to implement the amendment to the Draft Approved Plan of Subdivision 18T- 89053. 6.1 In accordance with departmental procedures, the application was circulated to obtain comments from other departments and agencies. The following provides a brief synopsis of the comments received. 6.2 The Public Works Department has advised that they have no objection to the proposal, subject to several conditions regarding issues such as grading, W REPORT NO. PD- 2 -96 PAGE 4 drainage, property access and storm sewer connections. However, the Planning and Development Department advises for the Committee's and the applicant's information that such issues would be addressed through the corresponding subdivision agreement. 6.3 The balance of the circulated agencies which provided comments were the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority, the Regional Planning Department, the Community Services Department and the Fire Department. None of the aforementioned agencies provided objectionable comments with respect to the proposal. In addition, Staff advise for the Committee's information that the application was circulated for information to the Friends of the Farewell and the Friends of the Second Marsh. 7. STAFF COMMENTS 7.1 The subject property was created as Block 81 when Plan 1 OM -832 was registered in November of 1989. Prior to applying for the amendment to the zoning by -law, the Conservation Authority granted approval of a geotechnical report which supported the development of three (3) additional lots on Block 81. The support of the Authority was then used as the basis for obtaining an amendment to the Draft Approved Plan of Subdivision 18T -89053 to incorporate Block 81. The amendment to the Draft Approved Plan was granted in May of 1995 but requires an amendment to the zoning by -law to implement the subdivision and facilitate the eventual issuance of building permits. 7.2 Staff note that all of the proposed lots exceed both the lot area and lot frontage requirements of By -law 84 -62 and that the lots are similar in size and compatible with existing lots in the surrounding area. 7.3 With respect to the letter of objection from the Friends of the Farewell, Staff note that the geotechnical report, the amendment to the Draft Approved Plan of ....5 510 REPORT NO. PD- 2 -96 PAGE 5 Subdivision 18T -89053 and the proposed zoning amendment have all been reviewed by the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority. 7.4 In addition, with respect to the submission requesting an access point to the valley, Staff note that the Draft Approved Plan of Subdivision 18T -89053 incorporates an access to the valley in relatively close proximity to the subject lands. Therefore, Staff are of the opinion that a second access to the valley is not required. 7.5 However, Staff concur with the submission from the abutting property owner who requested that the rear property line of Lot 20 be reconfigured to coincide with the east property line of Lot 3 on Registered Plan 10M -832. This will allow the owner of Lot 3, Registered Plan 1 OM -832 to have an unobstructed view of the valley from the rear of the house. In addition, Lot 20, as revised on Attachment #3 would still exceed the lot area requirements of the By -law. 8. CONCLUSION 8.1 In consideration of the comments contained within this report, Staff would have no objection to the approval of the attached zoning by -law amendment, as applied for.
