REPORT NO. : PD-58-92 PAGE 2
2 . 2 The proposal is situated on a .705 hectare (1. 75 acre) parcel
of land located on the west side of Varcoe Road, approximately
409 metres (1340 ft. ) north of Nash Road but is more formally
described as Part Lot 35, Concession 3 in the former Township
of Darlington. The subject property currently contains two
(2) single family dwellings. Therefore, the .705 hectare
(1.75 acre) parcel would contain a total of four (4) single
family dwellings.
3. PUBLIC NOTICE
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 a result of the public notification process, the Planning
and Development Department has not received any written
submissions with respect to the subject application. However,
Staff have received three (3) telephone inquiries from area
residents requesting more detailed information regarding the
proposal. In addition, concerns were expressed regarding the
frontage of the proposed lots.
4. OFFICIAL PLAN CONFORMITY
4. 1 Within the existing Durham Regional Official Plan the subject
property is designated Residential while the recommended
Regional Official Plan designates the subject property as a
Living Area. Therefore, the proposal conforms to both the
existing and the recommended Regional Official Plan.
4 . 2 Within the Town of Newcastle Official Plan, the subject
property is designated Residential. As residential uses are
intended to be the predominant use of lands so designated, the
proposal conforms with the intent of the Town of Newcastle
Official Plan. 5 0 2

5. ZONING BY-LAW COMPLIANCE
5. 1 Within the Town of Newcastle Comprehensive Zoning By-law 84-
63, the subject property is zoned "Agricultural (A) " which
permits the use of the subject property for agricultural and
agriculturally related uses. Since the applicant is proposing
to create two (2) additional single family dwelling lots, an
amendment to the by-law is required in order to implement the
proposed development through the consent process.
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 Community Services Department has reviewed the proposal
and advises that the proposed lots would be serviced by the
Courtice West Park, the Cherry Blossom Parkette and a future
parkette west of Varcoe Road. Therefore, the Community
Services Department has no objection to the proposal but will
require the applicant to provide 5% cash-in-lieu of parkland
dedication with the funds realized credited to the Parks
Reserve Account. This condition will be imposed through the
severance process.
6. 3 The balance of the circulated agencies which have provided
comments are the Town of Newcastle Fire Department, the
Regional Planning Department, the Regional Works Department
and the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority. None of
the aforementioned agencies have provided objectionable
comments. The Town of Newcastle Public Works Department has
yet to respond to the circulation.
