THAT Report PD- 159-93 be received; 2 . THAT the Region of Durham be advised that the Town of Newcastle objects to a further extension of draft approval for Subdivision 18T-81008. 1. BACKGROUND 1. 1 The subject lands are located in Part Lot 29, Concession 2 , former Newcastle Village. The lands are located west of Foster Creek and north of Highway 2 with frontage on the north side of Given Road. Draft Plan approval was granted to the subject lands in March, 1983 . 1.2 The applicants have been granted extension of draft approval several times by Durham Region since draft approval first expired March 29 , 1986. The conditions of draft approval have also been amended three times, most recently on July 27, 1992 . 1. 3 By correspondence received November 1, 1993 (copy attached) , Staff were advised by the Region of Durham Planning Department 2 REPORT NO. PD- rig-93 PAGE 2 that draft approval for the above referenced plan would lapse on January 7, 1994 pursuant to the Planning Act, unless an extension was granted prior to the lapsing date. 2 . STAFF COMMENTS 2 . 1 In October of 1988 the owners agent had requested an additional one year extension to the Draft Approval as they suggested that they had worked diligently in attempting to fulfil conditions of approval and providing the necessary documentation for registration, however were unable to satisfy the November 30, 1988 deadline. From Staff's perspective, since that time little or no action has taken place to further the proposal towards registration, yet draft approval has continually been extended to accommodate the applicant's request. 2 . 2 Staff consulted with Community Services and Public Works Staff prior to the drafting of this report. Community Services Staff have advised that the parkland as proposed in this application no longer satisfies the neighbourhood parkland requirements. The parkland needs for this neighbourhood of Newcastle Village has been planned to be undertaken in a more comprehensive manner and more central location. The proposed park in this proposal would reduce the Town's ability to provide a larger, central facility. In addition, this park has not been included in the lot development charge policy report and therefore is now considered premature. 2 . 3 Public Works Staff have advised that this development is not sequential for storm water management operations. As well concern remains with the operation of the proposed intersection at Highway 2 . . . . . 3 542 REPORT NO. PD- 159-93 PAGE 3 2 . 4 Staff note that the proposed intersection at Highway 2, although temporary, is not in keeping with the intent of the Official Plan policies, which permit arterial and collector roads only to intersect with arterial roads. As well Staff have a concern for the duration of the "temporary" access. Although the surrounding lands are subject to a proposed plan of subdivision, at this time there are servicing constraints which prevent the proposal from proceeding. 2 . 5 Furthermore, through the current Official Plan review, Staff are revisiting a number of issues which impact urban design for residential neighbourhoods. This includes street patterns, design objectives, street scale and public spaces. Supporting an extension to the draft approval of this plan, may have a negative impact on the ability to implement future planning policies which are intent on implementing Provincial and Regional directives. 3 . CONCLUSION 3 . 1 In consideration of the concerns raised in this report, Staff are not in a position to support further extension of draft approval.
