THAT Report PD-160-89 be received; 2. THAT the final report on the Hamlet of Hampton Secondary Plan prepared by Proctor and Redfern be received; 3. THAT the Region of Durham be requested to amend the Town of Newcastle Official Plan to incorporate the Hampton Secondary Plan and supporting planning policies, as indicated by the proposed amendment attached hereto; and 4. THAT Report PD-160-89 be forwarded to the Region of Durham. 1. BACKGROUND 1.1 The consulting firm, Proctor and Redfern was retained by the Town to prepare Secondary Plans for the hamlets of Hampton and Orono. The Consultant's Background Report on the Hampton Secondary Plan noted REPORT NO.: PD- 160 -89 tl existing problems with high water table and soil and well pollution in Hampton and suggested a 'slow growth' approach for the Hamlet. To accommodate growth pressures in the short term, the proposed Land Use Plan allocated 64 lots over the next 5 to 10 years. A further 190 lots were proposed in 'Long Term Residential Expansion Areas' to accommodate growth to the year of 2011. However, the consultant suggested that, prior to these areas being developed, Hampton would need to be upgraded to a 'Hamlet for Growth', and detailed bydrogeological studies undertaken to address existing servicing problems. 1.2 The Public had an opportunity to review and submit comments on the Hampton Secondary Plan as prepared by Procter and Redfern at an Open House held on January 25, 1989. 1.3 As part of the Hampton Secondary Plan Study, Procter and Redfern contacted various agencies for comment on the proposed plan for the Hamlet. The Region of Durham Works Department indicated that even minor expansion of the hamlet should not proceed until a detailed study on ground water and soil pollution has been completed. It was further suggested that the Town should apply to the Ministry of the Environment for funding through the Direct Grant Program to correct the existing problems. 1.4 On April 24, 1989, Newcastle Council adopted the following resolution: "THAT the Region of Durham be requested to initiate a Preliminary Well Contamination Survey for Hampton pursuant to Section 10.4.2.7 of the Durham Regional Official Plan with a view to participating in the Ministry of the Environment's Direct Grant Program and designating Hampton as a 'Hamlet for Growth'; and THAT until the preliminary Well Contamination Survey for Hampton is completed, Staff be authorized to proceed to finalize the Hampton Secondary Plan for Hampton on the basis of minor infilling only" 1.5 Proctor and Redfern has now finalized the Hampton Secondary Plan on the basis of minor infilling only. The Plan would therefore maintain Hampton's current status pending completion of the necessary hydrogeological studies and the development of a servicing strategy for hamlets through the Region's Hamlet Servicing Study. r' 7 /1 JJU ...3 REPORT NO.: PD-160-89 PAGE 3 Copies of Proctor & Redfern's final report on the Hampton Secondary Plan have been circulated to each of the Committee members under separate cover. 1.6 Given the constraints on development in Hampton, the revised Hampton Secondary Plan as prepared by Proctor and Redfern is also being recommended by Staff for adoption as the Land Use Schedule for Hampton in the Town's Official Plan. 1.7 Notice of Public Meeting for the proposed Hampton Secondary Plan was advertised in the Bowmanville Statesman/Newcastle Independent and Oshawa Times and further circulated to residents who made submissions at the Public Open House. 2. PROPOSED HAMPTON SECONDARY PLAN 2.1 The Land Use Schedule for Hampton as proposed by Proctor and Redfern (see attached) differs from the previous plan presented at the Public Open House in a number of respects. However, the most significant revision involves the deletion of the 'Areas for Expansion' and the appropriate adjustments to the hamlet boundaries. 2.2 Staff is also recommending that specific land use policies for Hampton be incorporated into Section 9 (Hamlets) of the Town's Official Plan. These policies, also attached hereto, together with the Land Use Schedule, are intended to guide development and provide the Town with a planning policy framework for Hampton pending the outcome of the various studies being proposed. 2.3 The recommended Land Use Schedule and policies respect the existing policy framework for Hampton. No amendment to the Regional Official Plan would be required to implement the restricted growth scenario being MEMO= r 7 1 DD I ...4 REPORT 00^: pD-160-89 PAGE 4 _______________________________________________________________________________ 2.4 There are two development applications currently being considered by the Town which are directly affected by the Hampton Secondary Plan. These are as follows: - Official Plan Amendment Application 86-85/D/0 and Subdivision Application I8T 86059 submitted by Waverly Belobto Subdivision (Oshawa) Ltd. proposes to develop 37 single family lots on a 20.15 hectare parcel onthe north side of Ormieton8treet. The site lies outside the Hamlet boundaries as indicated on the proposed Land Use Schedule. This DcolxooaI is dealt with individually in m separate Staff Report also being considered by Committee today. - Rezoning Application DEV89-2lsubmitted by Sam Mastrangelo proposes to develop a nine (9) store commercial plaza on a 0.93 hectare site at the northeast oncoer of Taunton Road and Kim] Street. The site is designated 'Residential IufiIliug' by the proposed Land Use Schedule. Staff have not yet finalized the processing of this application. 3. PUBLIC SUBMISSIONS 3.1 & total of 36 residents and landowners submitted comments on the Hampton Secondary Plan at the Public Open House and in letters submitted directly to the Planning Department. The possible contamination of well water and oogpIv disruptions as the result of new development was the concern most frequently cited by residents. A number of residents also suggested that mooioigmI water be provided to deal with existing well _ contamination problems. Concerns that existing storm drainage problems in the hamlet would be aggravated by new development were also noted. The 'no-growth' option for Hampton being proposed through the Secondary Plan and the supporting policies recognizes the residents, concerns with respect to the impact of new development on existing wells and storm drainage. Development will be restricted to minor iofilIiog only pending the completion of the various studies intended to identify solutions to the existing servicing problems in Hampton. 3.2 Many residents also expressed concerns with the impact of large scale new development on the Hamlet of Hampton itself. Loss of the peaceful community '��c��i��t��io��l' � JJL increased traffic and further deterioration of roads were noted. fDE90BT N3.: PD-160-89 PAGE 5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Inasmuch asa'no growth' scenario isbeing proposed for Hampton pending completion of the various studies, the impacts of new development on the hamlet will not be an immediate concern for existing residents. If at such time as Hampton is upgraded to a 'Hamlet for Growth`, many of these impacts can be minimized through the staging of development and contributions from developers for road improvements. With respect to over-crowding at the existing Hampton School, the Public GcbnoI Board has acknowledged that the present facilities are presently at capacity. The Board further notes that expansion of hamlets provides the Board with a more stable student population in Hamlet areas. 3.3 A number of submissions made by landowners within and adjacent to the proposed hamlet boundaries requested that additional lands be incorporated into hamlet boundary. They stated that there was a need to more evenly balance residential development on either side of BovmaoviIIe Creek' and increased exposure for the hamlet along Taunton Road. As well, it was suggested that the development of these lands would have little impact on the existing wells in the hamlet. Owners of the lands to the east of the proposed Hamlet tmoudoriea associated with the creek valley expressed the desire to reduce the area indicated as being subject to development restrictions to allow residential development. Given the undetermined extent of the existing problems with well contamination, the high water table and surface drainage problems in Hampton, it was deemed appropriate to proceed with a 'no growth' scenario for the hamlet pending completion of the various studies to resolve these problems. The requests for expansion of the hamlet boundaries will be dealt with in the context of a subsequent amendment based on the results of the environmental health and servicing studies. JJJ IDC9O8T NO.; PD-160-89 4. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 4.1 The Hampton Secondary Plan has been finalized on the basis of minor iofilIiug. Policies are proposed which indicate CoouoiI"a desire to undertake studies to identify solutions to the servicing problems in the hamlet and designate Hampton as a 'Hamlet for Growth'. 4.2 It is therefore recommended that the Region of Durham be requested to amend the Town of Newcastle Official Plan to iocozlx)cote the Hampton Secondary Plan and the supporting policies, as indicated by the proposed amendment attached hereto.
