2. THAT Application to amend the Town of Newcastle Comprehensive
Zoning By -law 84 -63, as amended, submitted by Dr. Russell

1. BACKGROUND:
1.1 In July, 1989, the Town of Newcastle Planning and Development
Department received an application to amend the Town of
Newcastle Comprehensive Zoning By -law in order to permit the
development of a single family dwelling.
1.2 The subject property consists of approximately .81 hectares

(2.0 acres) and is located in Part of Lot 7, Concession 6, in
the former Township of Darlington.
2. PUBLIC NOTICE:
2.1 For the Committee's information, pursuant to Council's
resolution of July 26, 1982 and the requirements of the
Planning Act, the appropriate signage acknowledging the
application was erected on the subject lands and the
appropriate notice was mailed to each landowner within the
prescribed distance.
2.2 As of the writing of this Report, the Planning and Development
Department have not received any public submissions with
respect to the subject application.
3. OFFICIAL PLAN CONFORMITY:
3.1 Within the Durham Regional Official Plan, the property is
designated as "Permanent Agricultural Reserve" with an
indication that the property is an Environmentally Sensitive
Area. Furthermore, the Durham Regional Planning Department
has determined that the subject property is located outside
of the limits of the Hamlet boundary. The applicant, has
therefore also applied to amend the Town of Newcastle Official
Plan in order to extend the limits of the Tyrone Secondary
Plan in order to include the subject property and permit the
proposed development to be considered.
4. ZONING BY -LAW CONFORMITY:
4.1 Within the Town of Newcastle Comprehensive Zoning By -law
84 -63, the subject property is zoned in part "Agricultural
(A)" and "Environmental Protection (EP)". The applicant
intends to rezone approximately a .8 ha (2 acre) portion of
...3
)10
a 53.82 ha (133 acre) parcel and create the lot through the
severance process.
5. AGENCY COMMENTS:
5.1 The subject application was circulated to various agencies by
the Town of Newcastle Planning and Development Department.
The following provides a summary of comments received to date.
5.2 The Regional Health Services Department has reviewed the
subject application and notes that there is insufficient high,
dry, level land for the installation of an on -site sewage
disposal system plus 100% replacement area. Therefore, the
Health Services Department recommends that approval of the
application be withheld.
5.3 The Ministry of Natural Resources has reviewed the proposal
and have concerns regarding the portion of the subject
property zoned "Environmental Protection (EP) ". This portion
of the property contains Mackie Creek which is a sensitive
coldwater creek which provides habitat for resident
populations of both brown and brook trout species. The
Ministry of Natural Resources recommends that this portion of
the subject property be retained within the "Environmental
Protection" zone. The Ministry has no objections to the
rezoning to "Residential Hamlet ", that portion of the subject
property currently zoned "Agricultural (A) ", although the
Ministry acknowledges that this portion of the subject
property may not meet the requirements of the "Residential
Hamlet" zone with respect to lot area.
5.4 The Town of Newcastle Public Works Department has reviewed the
proposal and have no objections to the proposal, subject to
...4
4� I l
the provision of certain conditions. The Public Works
Department further recommends that the application not proceed
until such time as the Central Lake Ontario Conservation
Authority has indicated that they have no concerns with the
subject property and its proximity to the flood plain of Soper
Creek.
5.5 The Community Services Department has reviewed the application
and have no objections to its approval subject to the
applicant providing 5% cash -in -lieu of parkland dedication and
the Owner agreeing to dedicate to the Town gratuitously, the
area of land from Soper Creek to the top of the bank.
5.6 The balance of the circulated agencies which have provided
comments are the Town of Newcastle Fire Department, and the
Ministry of Agriculture and Food. None of the aforementioned
agencies have provided objectionable comments. The Central
Lake Ontario Conservation Authority, the Ministry of
Transportation, the Ministry of the Environment, Ontario Hydro
and the Durham Regional Works Department have all yet to
respond.
6. STAFF COMMENTS:
6.1 As the purpose of this report is to address the requirements
of a Public Meeting under the Planning Act and in
consideration of comments outstanding, the Planning and
Development Department recommends that the application be
referred back to Staff for further processing.
