The subject application was submitted by Tunney Planning on behalf of Linmac Inc. 1.2 The subject site is currently zoned "Agricultural (A)" and is an irregular shaped 4.7 ha located in Part Lot 12, Concession 2, Town of Bowmanville. The property is east of Old Scugog Road, north of Fourth Street, west of High Street and south of the intersection of Old Scugog Road and Middle Road. The site is presently vacant and has been used agriculturally. Surrounding land uses include Lord Elgin Park and School to the south -east, proposed residential to the north, east and west and existing residential to the south and west. 2. PUBLIC NOTICE AND SUBMISSIONS 2.1 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, Public notice was mailed to surrounding landowners within the prescribed distance. As of the writing of this report, no written submissions have been received. 3 OFFICIAL PLAN CONFORMITY 3.1 Within the Durham Regional Official Plan the subject property is designated residential within the Bowmanville Major Urban boundaries. The predominant use of land so designated shall be for residential purposes. The application would appear to conform. 3.2 Within the Town of Newcastle Official Plan ( Bowmanville Major Urban Area) the subject lands are designated "Low Density Residential ", there also exists a school and park symbol within the vicinity of the property. n REPORT NO.: PD-103-89 PAGE 3 The proposal for 52 single family fifteen (15) meter lots and eight (8) blocks for future residential falls within the established low density range. In addition the park and school designations recognize the existing situation. The application would appear to comply. 4 AGENCY COMMENTS 4.1 In accordance with departmental procedures, the application was circulated to obtain comments from other departments and agencies. The following departments/agencies have yet to respond: Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority Separate School Board Regional Planning Regional Public Works Ontario Hydro 4.2 The agencies which have commented have all noted some area of concern or requested revisions. The Town of Newcastle Public Works Department Staff noted that Fourth Street would have to be reconstructed at the applicants expense (100%) from Old Scugog Road to Street 'A'; A drainage report is required detailing how storm drainage is to be accommodated through this development as well as oversizing requirement; that street lighting be installed internally as well as along Fourth Street to the satisfaction of the Director of Public Works; and that a second access be constructed in conjunction with this development, through the extensions of Street 'A' to High Street (through 18T-84033). 4.3 The Fire Department Staff noted a concern with the development. The proposed plan for 52 single family units, would result in a population increase of 160 persons, this continued growth in this and other areas, may impact on the level of service which this department is able to maintain. The Town of Newcastle Community Services Department Staff have noted no objection to the principle of development and request that a 5% cash-in-lieu of parkland dedication be attached as a condition of approval. 4.4 The Public School Board review of the application also raised some concerns, they have requested copies of the drainage plans for their approval prior to the proposal being approved. The Ministry of Natural Resources Staff have noted that they remain interested in the drainage of the site in terms of erosion and sedimentation control. 5 STAFF COMMENTS 5.1 Staff note the proposed rezoning compliments proposed plan of subdivision 18T -86069 and would permit development of same. Staff further notes that 18T -86069 has been revised from its original submission to reflect the present application of 52 single family dwelling lots and 8 blocks to be developed for single family dwelling in the future. 5.2 In order to develop the eight (8) blocks residentially, the applicant has proposed to purchase a triangular strip of land from the Town approximately 722.4 m2 (7776 sq. ft.) of Lord Elgin Park The Town's Community Services Department Staff have reviewed this request and have no objection, subject to a number of conditions.

The easement as mentioned previously would provide an extension to Street 'A' to connect to High Street and Meadowview Blvd. ...5 }0 REPORT NO.: PD-103-89 5.4 The access to the Plan via Fourth Street involves part of a Town road allowance and Block 'A' which was to be conveyed to the former Town of Bowmanville for street widening purposes when required by Oshawa Wood Products Limited.

Staff note a concern with the lands immediately to the north of the subject property, which are not provided access through the proposed plan.
