BACKGROUND 2 . 1 On November 1, 1990, Sam Cureatz filed an application with the Town of Newcastle, on behalf of Frederick and Nancy Curd, to amend the Town of Newcastle Comprehensive Zoning By-law 84-63, in order to facilitate the creation of two (2) non-farm rural residential lots . 2 . 3 The subject property is situated on a 2 hectare (4 . 94 acre) parcel located on the south side of Lakeshore Road approximately 425 metres ( 1400 feet) west of Stephenson Road but is more formally described as Part Lot 24, Broken Front Concession, in the former Township of Clarke. 3. PUBLIC NOTICE AND SUBMISSION 3 . 1 Pursuant to Council's resolution of July 26, 1982, and the requirements of the Planning Act, the appropriate signage acknowledging the application was installed on the subject lands . In addition, the appropriate notice was mailed to each landowner within the prescribed distance. 3 .2 As of the writing of this report, no written submissions have been received. However, Staff did receive one counter inquiry from an area resident who requested more detailed information with respect to the proposed zoning by-law amendment. 4. OFFICIAL PLAN CONFORMITY 4 . 1 Within the Durham Regional Official Plan, the subject property is designated as "Major Open Space - Lands Affected by Section 12 .3 . 3 " . Section 12 . 3 . 3 requires the preparation of a waterfront development plan for lands so designated prior to development. Until such time as a development plan has been prepared, only recreation uses such as campgrounds, parks and golf courses may be allowed. For the Committee's information, a development plan has not been prepared for ) U � REPORT PD-1-91 PAGE 3 the subject property. However, Town Council is on record to request funding from the Provincial Ministries to assist in the preparation of a waterfront plan for the entire shoreline of the Town of Newcastle. 4 .2 In addition, Section 12 . 3 . 3 specifies that only infilling between two existing residential dwellings which are no more than approximately 91.44 m (300 feet) and on the same side of a road may be permitted for permanent and/or seasonal residential development. The subject property has a frontage of 184 . 94 m ( 606 . 76 feet) with a centrally located dwelling. In order for the two additional lots be created and considered to be in conformity with the Durham Regional Official Plan, the proposed newly created parcels must be between two (2) existing dwellings which are no more than 91. 44 m (300 feet) apart and on the south side of Lakeshore Road. There is a residential dwelling within 91.44 m (300 feet) to the west of the existing dwelling on the subject property and therefore the proposed westerly parcel can be considered to be in conformity with the Durham Regional Official Plan. However, the nearest residential dwelling to the east of the existing dwelling on the subject property is well beyond a distance of 91.44 m (300 feet) . Therefore, the proposed easterly parcel is not in conformity with the Durham Regional Official Plan. I 5. ZONING BY-LAW COMPLIANCE 5 . 1 Within the Town of Newcastle Comprehensive Zoning By-law 84- I 63, the subject property is zoned in part, Agricultural (A) and in part, Environmental Protection (EP) . Land so zoned are intended to be used for agricultural and agricultural related uses . Staff notes for the Committee's information that the applicant intends to sever the 2 hectare (4 . 94 acre) parcel to create two (2) additional non-farm rural I l I REPORT PD-1-91 PAGE 4 residential lots . All of the newly created parcels would not comply with Section 6 . 3 of By-law 84-63, which requires a minimum lot area of 40 hectares (98. 83 acres) for the subject property. 5 . 2 Therefore, the applicant has applied to amend the Town of Newcastle Comprehensive Zoning By-law 84-63 in order to permit the severance applications to be considered. 6. AGENCY COMMENTS 6 . 1 In accordance with departmental procedures, the application was circulated to obtain comments from other departments and agencies . The following provides a brief synopsis of the comments received to date. 6 .2 The Town of Newcastle Public Works Department has advised that they have no objections to the proposal subject to the provision of several regulatory conditions. Firstly, that the applicant dedicate a 4 . 72 m ( 15 .5 foot) road widening to the Town along Lakeshore Road. Secondly, that the applicant contribute $13,680 . 00 towards the costs of reconstructing/upgrading Lakeshore Road. Thirdly, that the applicant meet all the requirements of the Public Works Department, financial or otherwise. 6 . 3 The Town of Newcastle Community Services Department has advised that they have no objection to the proposal. However, the Community Services Department has requested that the 5% parkland dedication requirement be accepted as cash-in-lieu with the funds realized to be credited to the Park Reserve Account. 6 .4 The Regional Planning Department has reviewed the subject application within the context of the Durham Regional Official Plan. As noted earlier, the Regional Planning Department has advised that proposed westerly lot can be considered to be in conformity with the Durham Regional REPORT PD-1-91 PAGE 5 Plan. However, the proposed easterly lot is not in conformity with the Durham Regional Official Plan and the severance of this parcel cannot be considered unless the applicant were to bring forth an application to amend the Durham Regional Official Plan. 6 .5 The Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority has reviewed the proposal and advises that the recommended setback from the toe of the bluff is 85 m (278 . 87 feet) . As a result, a large portion of the subject property, including the existing dwelling and carriage house are within the erosion setback limit. The Authority has acknowledged that the rezoning process is being sought in order to facilitate the future severance of Parcels 1 and 3 . Therefore, the Authority has advised that due to the erosion setback limit, it will not favourably view the future proposed severances . 6 . 6 The balance of the circulated agencies which have provided comments are the Town of Newcastle Fire Department, the Regional Health Department and the Ministry of Natural Resources . None of the aforementioned agencies have provided objectionable comments with respect to the proposed zoning by-law amendment. The Regional Works Department, the Ministry of the Environment, the Ministry of Agriculture and the Royal Commission on the Future of the Toronto Waterfront have yet to respond. 7. STAFF COMMENTS 7 . 1 As the purpose of this report is to satisfy the requirements of the Planning Act with respect to a Public Meeting, and in consideration of the outstanding comments and the issue of Official Plan conformity, it would be in order to have the report referred back to Staff for further processing and the preparation of a subsequent report.
