1. BACKGROUND
1.1 In May of 1989, the Town of Newcastle Planning and Development
Department was advised by the Region of Durham of an application for
approval of a Plan of Subdivision submitted by Templeton -Lepek on behalf
of 8017877 Ontario Limited. The subdivision application proposed the
creation of twenty -two (22) single family lots with a minimum frontage of
12 metres and twenty -six (26) single family lots with a minimum frontage
of 15 metres, as well as one block for future use.

1.2 A Public Meeting was held on Tuesday, September 5, 1989 at which time
the Public was afforded the opportunity to make verbal or written
representation either in support of or in opposition to the proposed
zoning bylaw amendment, which is required to implement the proposed
draft plan of subdivision.
1.3 However, on August 25, 1989, after notice of the Public Meeting had been
mailed, the Planning Department was informed by Templeton -Lepek that
revisions were being made to the proposed draft plan of subdivision
which would change the number and composition of dwelling units. The
Planning Department later determined, upon receipt of the revised plan,
that another Public Meeting was warranted, due to the substantial
revisions to the original submission. The proposed subdivision, as
revised, now proposes the creation of 21 single family dwellings with a
minimum of 12.6 metres of frontage, 14 two family dwellings with a
minimum of 18 metres of frontage and 21 townhouse units with a minimum
of 6.7 metres of frontage.
1.4 The proposal is situated on a 3.8 hectare parcel (9.38 acre) parcel of
land located at the south -east corner of Middle Road and Concession Road
3.
1.5 A Public Meeting sign providing information on the proposed plan of
subdivision, as revised, was erected on the property at the request of
the Planning and Development Department. The Planning Act, however,
does not contain provisions to regulate public notification of
subdivision applications. Therefore, individual notice to adjacent land
owners was not required. However, since an amendment to the Zoning
By-law is also required in order to implement the subdivision, the
appropriate notice was mailed to each land owner within the prescribed
distance.

2.1 The surrounding land is primarily vacant, although most of the abutting
parcels to the south, east and west have either received draft approval
for a plan of subdivision, town approval for a plan of subdivision or
have submitted an application for approval of a proposed plan of
subdivision (see attached).
3. OFFICIAL PLAN CONFORMITY
3.1 Within the Durham Regional Official Plan, the subject lands are
designated "Residential ". The primary use of lands so designated shall
be for housing purposes. In view of the foregoing, the application
would appear to comply with the Durham Region Official Plan.
3.2 Within the Town of Newcastle Official Plan (Bowmanville Major Urban
Area) the subject property is designated "Low Density Residential ".
Residential dwellings are to be the predominant use on lands so
designated.
3.3 The Town of Newcastle Official Plan establishes within the Bowmanville
Major Urban Area a maximum of 30 units per net residential hectare for
Low Density Residential development, 301 -55 units per net residential
hectare for Medium Density Residential development and a maximum of 801
units per net residential hectare for High Density Residential
development. The subject property is designated in the Town of
Newcastle Official Plan to develop at a maximum of 301 units per net
residential hectare. The applicant is proposing to develop the subject
property at approximately 26.8 units per net residential hectare.
Therefore, the proposed subdivision appears to comply with the
Residential Density policies of the Town of Newcastle Official Plan.
3.4 Within the Town of Newcastle Official Plan, the subject lands are
located within Neighbourhood "2B" on Schedule 7 -1. Within this
Neighbourhood there exists two (2) "Neighbourhood Park (N)" symbols, one
"Public Junior Elementary School" symbol, one "Local Central Area"
symbol and a High Density (H) symbol. All of the aforementioned
3 ...3

---------------------- --------- ®_- - - - -_- ®-------- - -- -- ___ ®-----m_-_------------
facilities /services have been accounted for in either draft plan of
subdivision 18T- 820137 or the town approved plan of subdivision
18T- 87087, both of which are located within the "2B" Neighbourhood.
3.5 The proposal must further be analysed in terms of the target population
for Neighbourhood "2B ". This Neighbourhood has a maximum population
potential of 330101. Based on this population and the area of the "2B"
Neighbourhood, it has been determined that development may take place at
a rate of 14.6 units per gross hectare. The applicant is proposing to
develop the subject property at a rate of 18.4 units per gross hectare.
However, given the approved and proposed developments in the
neighbourhood, the Planning Department is confident that the balance of
the developable lands may proceed at the neighbourhood average while
maintaining the proposed target population of 33010.
3.6 In view of the foregoing, the proposed plan of subdivision would appear
to conform with the residential target population established by the
Town of Newcastle Official Plan.
4. ZONING BY -LAW CONFOMRITY
4.1 The Town of Newcastle Comprehensive Zoning By -law 84 -63 zones the
subject property Agricultural (A). As residential uses of the size and
magnitude proposed in the current application are not permitted in an
Agricultural zone, the applicant has also applied to amend the Zoning
By -law accordingly. Appropriate notice of the proposed amendment was
mailed to each landowner within the prescribed distance.
As of the writing of this report, the Planning and Development Department
has not received any written submissions regarding the current proposal.
5. AGENCY COMMENTS
5.1 The application for a proposed plan of subdivision was circulated to
various agencies by the Durham Region Planning Department. Subsequently,
the Town of Newcastle undertook a limited interdepartmental circulation.
However, since the proposed draft plan of subdivision was only recently
revised and circulated, the Planning Department, as of this writing, has
". C-1 A
not received any agency comments relating to this proposal. DJ
