REPORT #: PD- 273 -89 FILE #: LD764/86
SUBJECT: REQUEST BY MR. A. STRIKE TO
WAIVE CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
LD 764/86 (SWALLOW) ,
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and
Administration Committee recommend to Council the following:
1. THAT Report PD- 273 -89 be received;
2. THAT Mr. Strike be advised that Council is not prepared to
waive the conditions of approval related to the Swallow's

1. BACKGROUND:
1.1 On October 23, 1989, Mr. A. Strike appeared before the General
Purpose and Administration Committee requesting Committee and
Council to waive several conditions of approval as detailed
by Staff in relation to consent applications submitted by Mr.
Swallow.
1.2 The main argument advanced by Mr. Strike is that the Swallow's
property was originally under separate deeds and subsequently,
melded together as a result of the Planning Act.

2 . COMMENTS:
2.1 The conditions of approval recommended by Staff are
reflections of policies and by -laws adopted by Council from
time to time. They are standard requirements applicable to
all consent applications irrespective of past circumstances.
The basic philosophy is that, where a lot is being created,
there will be an additional family living in the Town and this
same family will require the many Town's services, and hence,
the requirements of lot levy and parkland dedication.
2.2 The subject property fronts on Bloor Street which is a
designated arterial road in the Official Plan. As a result,
the Town's standard condition requires dedication of land for
road widening purposes. In addition, the Town's policies
requires contribution to upgrade an existing road due to the
fact that development of the property will contribute to the
wear and tear of the existing road.
2.3 Staff from Public Works, Community Services, and Planning
Departments have reviewed this matter jointly and in
consideration of the above comments, we are of the opinion
that all conditions shall stay save and except Conditions 5,
6, and 7 contained in Mr. Pellarin's letter of August 17, 1989
to the Durham Regional Land Division Committee. These
conditions pertain to drainage, and the Public Works Staff are
satisfied that, given the size of the parcel, that conditions
pertaining to drainage may be too onerous.
