SUBJECT: REZONING APPLICATION - POWERSCREEN OF CANADA LIMITED
PART LOT 91, BROKEN FRONT CONCESSION, FORMER TOWN OF BOWMANVILLE
OUR FILE: DEV 87 -99
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration
Committee recommend to Council the following:
1. THAT Report PD- 115 -89 be received; and
2. THAT the application by Powerscreen of Canada Ltd. to rezone the property at
Part of Lot 9, Broken Front Concession, former Town of Bowmanville from
"Light Industrial (Ml)" to "General Industrial (M2)" be approved and the
attached amending by -law be passed; and
3. THAT a copy of the By -law be forwarded to the applicant, his agent, the
Region of Durham Planning Department and others as per the circulation
requirement of the Planning Act.
1. BACKGROUND:
1.1 On December 2, 1987, Memphis Holdings Ltd. filed a rezoning application on a
1.27 ha property located in Part of Lot 9, Broken Front Concession, former
Town of Bowmanville. The purpose of this application is to rezone from the
current "Light Industrial (M1)" to "General Industrial (M2)" in order to
allow outside storage of equipment.

1.2 The subject property constitutes Lot No. 1 in Plan of Subdivision
18T ®87054 and is subject of a Purchase Agreement between Memphis
Holdings and Powerscreen of Canada Ltd. It is noted that the
subdivision agreement for this subdivision is in its final stage of
preparation and Staff anticipate registration of this subdivision
shortly.
1.3 Powerscreen of Canada Ltd. manufactures conveyors for stockpiling of
various materials. It currently has manufacturing facilities in Ajax
and has been planning for expansion and hence, selected the subject
property. Due to the size of the finished equipment, Powerscreen
requires outside storage of the finished products which is not
permitted within the "ML" zone, and hence the rezoning application.
2. PUBLIC MEETING
Public meeting for the rezoning application was held on January 25,
1988. There were no objections or public submissions.
3. OFFICIAL PLAN CONFORMITY
The subject property is designated "Industrial" in both the Durham
Region Official Plan and in the Town of Newcastle Official Plan. The
proposal for outside storage of finished equipment in association with
industrial use would appear to conform. Comments from Regional Staff
also confirm the above.
4. COMMENTS FROM CIRCULATION
4.1 In accordance with departmental procedures, the rezoning application
was circulated to various agencies for comments. The following
agencies offered no objection or comment:
® Newcastle Hydro Electric Commission
Canadian National Railway

Powerscreen would appear to comply with this requirement.
4.3 The Town of Newcastle Public Works Department has no objection to the
proposal. However, it recommends several minor changes which will be
incorporated in the site plan approval process.
4.4 The Fire Department has no objection but advised that access route and
water supply for firefighting purposes must be in place prior to the
issuance of a building permit. These matters will be covered in the
soon-to-be registered subdivision agreement.
5. COMMENTS
5.1 The purpose of this rezoning application is to allow outside storage
equipment. It is noted that the industrial area between Highway No.
401 and the future Lake Road does not allow outside storage. The
intent is to create a better aesthetic and appearance along Highway
No. 401. Based on the presence of an existing berm on the south side
of Highway No. 401 plus the fact that the applicant is providing an 8
foot high solid fence, Staff is satisfied that the outside storage of
conveyors are unlikely to be visible from the highway.
5.2 The visibility of the conveyors from the future Lake Road is of some
concern. In order to provide some forms of screening, Staff will be
requiring the applicant to erect a 6 foot high solid fence on top of
an earth berm along Lake Road. Such screening will not completely
shield the top portion of the conveyor from public view but
nevertheless, will achieve some effective ground screening of any
possible unsightly equipment storage.

5.3 Given the size of the conveyor, it would be impossible to effectively
provide total screening. Staff met with the applicant on several
occasions and the applicant understood staff concerns and is willing
to co-operate with the Town to provide for fencing and extensive
landscaping. Accordingly, Staff is recommending the rezoning
application to permit outside storage be approved.
Respectfully submitted,
