1.2 In March of 1989, the Town of Newcastle Planning and Development
Department Staff received an application to amend the Town of Newcastle
Zoning By -law 84 -63, as amended. The application was submitted by Chris
Smith & Associates on behalf of Bowmanville Valley Co- operative Homes
Inc. The proposed application would change the zone category of 2.26 ha
(5.58 acres) parcel of land in Part Lot 13 & 14, Concession 2,
Bowmanville, from "Urban Residential Type One - Holding ((H) Rl)" and
"Environmental Protection (EP)" to an appropriate zone to permit the
development of 48 row townhouses and two (2), twelve (12) unit, three (3)
storey apartment buildings, for a total of seventy -two (72) units.
1.3 Staff note that as of May 23, 1989, the proposal has been revised to
include two (2) apartment buildings, one 12 unit and one 18 unit, the
number of townhouse units has been reduced to 42. This maintains the
total number of units as 72.
1.4 The site is located south of Jackman Road, east and north of the
Bowmanville Creek and west of Scugog Street. Surrounding land uses
include existing residential to the east, existing and proposed
residential to the north, Bowmanville Creek Valley lands and estate
residential to the west and proposed residential to the south.
1.5 The public meeting with respect to this application was held June 5,
1989. At that meeting Committee and Council directed the applicant to
meet with the residents and Staff in order to address their concerns.
1.6 On July 31, 1989, a meeting was held in Court Room 1 with the residents,
the applicant and Planning Staff. The meeting was well attended with 35
signing in. The meeting however, was not very successful, as the
residents expected answers to various issues which had been raised at the
Public Meeting on June 5 and were now being asked again. Inasmuch as the
final grading and drainage plans were not available, the applicant was
unable to provide detailed responses to enquiries regarding such matters
which concerned the residents extremely. Other key concerns noted at the
meeting included the upgrading of Jackman Road and the costs attributed
to such works; density and parking, sidewalks and traffic on Jackman
Road; emergency access of the site and the school situation.

As noted above, drainage and runoff into the Eowmanville Creek and its
tributary were of key concern. Environmental issues sucn as salt
increased pollutants, increased erosion, increased flows and effect on
the system were continually mentioned. It was agreed that a subsequent
meeting be held on September b, 1989 at 7:00 P.M. in Court Room # 1.
At this time Staff has not received detailed comments from the Town of
Newcastle Public Works Department and are awaiting for further comments
from Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority and Ministry of Natural
Resources, based on the drainage report prepared for the subject site.
Given the number of outstanding comments and issues which remain
outstanding, it is recommended that the application be referred back to
Staff for a subsequent report upon reciept of all outstanding comments.
Respectfully submitted,
