Subject: TOWN OF NEWCASTLE - PROPOSED STREET NAME
UNNAMED FORCED ROAD
PART OF LOT 15, CONCESSION 3, TOWNSHIP OF DARLINGTON
Recommendations:
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and
Administration Committee recommend to Council the following:
1. THAT Report PD- 66 -92 be received;
2 . THAT Staff be authorized to take the appropriate action pursuant
to Town Policy and the provisions of Section 210 (105) of the
Municipal Act, for consideration of a proposed street name of "Gaud
Gate" within part of Lot 15, Concession 3 , former Township of
Darlington.
3 . THAT the landowners fronting onto the "unnamed forced road" be
provided notice through a mail circulation.
1. BACKGROUND
1. 1 The "forced road" within part of Lot 15, Concession 3, former
Township of Darlington, as shown on the attached key map, was
opened by Municipal By-law on July 11, 1957, however, was unnamed
for municipal purposes.
1.2 Staff was requested by an abutting property owner fronting onto the
"forced road" for a municipal street address, however was unable
to provide one without a street name for the "forced road" .
2 . STAFF COMMENTS
2 . 1 The Town's current practice in naming streets requires that
priority be given to historical names pertaining to the Town of
Newcastle, particularly to the area of development.

2 . 2 In reviewing any names for consideration, the Town is required to
co-ordinate and approve all street names with the Region of Durham
to insure there will be no duplication of street names with
neighbouring municipalities. The main objectives of this system
is to avoid duplications, helping to reduce errors in reporting
locations during phone calls for emergency services such as fire,
police and ambulance services. Regional policy does not permit
the use of names which would be a duplication within Durham Region.
2 . 3 Within the "Historical Atlas of Northumberland and Durham Counties
- 187811, Jacob Gaud is illustrated as being a land owner within the
immediate vicinity of the "forced road", within Lot 15, Concession
3 , former Township of Darlington.
2 . 4 The publication "The Township of Darlington and Clarke" by John
Squair, confirms Mr. Jacob Gauds involvement in Town activities as
a school trustee in 1874 .
2 .5 Upon contacting the Region of Durham Planning Department, it was
confirmed that the name "Gaud" would not be a duplication of street
names and could be placed on the reserve list for the Town of
Newcastle. Staff would note for Committees information that Staff
inquired as to the use of "Jacob" but was advised it would be a
duplication and accordingly could not be used.
2 . 6 Based on the foregoing comments, Staff is of the opinion that the
use of "Gaud Gate" would be appropriate and comply with Town
practices.
3 . CONCLUSIONS
3 . 1 Pending the Committee and Council's approval in principle of the
proposed street name, Staff will proceed with the appropriate
newspaper advertisements in accordance with the procedures set out
in the Municipal Act.
