It is respectfully recommended to Council the following:
1. THAT Addendum to Report PD-47-95 be received;
2. _ THAT should Council decide to approve Amendment #59 to the Official
Plan of the former Town of Newcastle, that Section 6.8.2 (iii) (c)
and Section 10.3 .4.2 be modif ied in accordance with the Attachments
to this Report.
REPORT:
1. As a result of the delegations made at the General Purpose and
Administration Committee on May 15, 1995, staff have further
reviewed the proposed Amendment #59 contained as Attachment #5 to
Report PD-47-95. Two modifications are proposed as follows:
i) With respect to concerns raised by Mr. Stephen Diamond about
the phasing policies contained in proposed Section 6.8.2
(iii) (c) , a modification is proposed to remove the words
"priority for" with respect to intensification and infilling.
This would ensure greenfield development is not considered a
lower priority than intensification and infilling.
REPORT TO COUNCIL PAGE 2
ii) With respect to concerns raised about school site design
policies, it has been staff's intent to ensure that the
elementary school is functionally and symbolically the central
element of the neighbourhood. This necessitates that the
school is visually prominent from the street and not
substantially hidden behind houses. It would be desirable for
schools to have frontage on two sides but as a minimum, at
least one full side should have street frontage. On this
basis, staff was proposing that a minimum frontage for the
school should be 25% of the site perimeter. However, in
response to the submission of Mr. Diamond requesting greater
flexibility on this issue, it is proposed that the policy be
less prescriptive and indicate that "generally" the frontage
shall be at least 25% of the site perimeter (see Attachment
#2) . This would allow for some reduction from the 25%
standard but ensure that the principle of visual prominence is
adhered to.
2. The changes are indicated on the attachments to this report.
3. With respect to all other issues raised by residents and
proponents, staff's position remains unchanged.
