5 / % 01/1
REPORT NO. : PD-139-90 PAGE 2
1. 3 Land Severance Application: to permit the creation of one ( 1)
13 .78 metre (39 ft) single family
dwelling lot.
1.4 Land Area: 0 . 176 Ha (0.435 Acres)
2. BACKGROUND
2 . 1 An application was received by the Town of Newcastle Planning and
Development Department on January 24, 1990, proposing to rezone a
0 . 17 Ha parcel of land fronting on Varcoe Road to allow for the
development of one ( 1) single family dwelling lot.
2 . 2 The applicant has also submitted an application to the Land
Division Committee which was heard on March 2, 1990. The proposed
severance was TABLED at the request of Newcastle Planning Staff to
allow the Town Council time to deal with the subject rezoning
application.
3 LOCATION
3 . 1 The subject property is located in Pt. Lt. 35, Conc . 3, former
Township of Darlington and is municipally known as 68 Varcoe Road.
The subject lands have approximately 41. 3 metres ( 135 ft) frontage
on the west side of Varcoe Road. It is north of Nash Road, south
Hartsfield Drive, and east of the Harmony Creek.
4 EXISTING AND SURROUNDING USES
4 . 1 Existing uses on the site include a single family dwelling which
is proposed to be retained on a separate lot should the rezoning
and land severance both be approved. Surrounding land uses include
strip residential development to the north and south, a fully
developed residential plan of subdivision to the east and
predominantly vacant lands to the west.

5 PUBLIC MEETING AND RESPONSE
5 . 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.
As of the writing of this report one letter of support has been
received from neighbouring landowners .
6 OFFICIAL PLAN POLICIES
6 . 1 Within the Durham Regional Official Plan the subject property is
designated 'Residential' . The residential policies allow for
development of housing and encourage a variety of type and style.
The application would appear to comply.
6 .2 Within the Town of Newcastle Official Plan, Courtice Major Urban
Area, the subject lands are within neighbourhood ' lA' and are
designated 'Residential' . The predominant use of lands within said
designation shall be for housing purposes . The application has a
net residential density of 11.2 units per hectare. The Official
Plan permits a maximum of 15 in the low density residential
designation. The application would appear to comply.
6 . 3 Within the Courtice West Neighbourhood Plan the subject property
is within an area that does not contain detail development criteria
at this time. Staff are currently reviewing this particular
neighbourhood plan in order to provide development details for the
lands bounded by Varcoe Road, Nash Road, Townline Road North and
the northern limits of the urban boundary (approximately Lawson
Road) . The impact of this development on the proposed
neighbourhood plan appears to be minimual, as the rear yards may
be further developed in accordance with the neighbourhood plan as
proposed.

7 ZONING BY-LAW PROVISIONS
7 . 1 Within the Town of Newcastle Comprehensive Zoning By-law 84-63, as
amended, the subject lands are zoned 'Agricultural (A) ' . Said zone
provisions allow for agriculturally related uses as well as limited
residential, amongst other uses . The 'A' zone may also be used in
the place of a 'Holding (H) ' symbol within urban areas.
8 AGENCY COMMENTS
8 . 1 The subject application was circulated to a number of agencies and
departments for comment. The following agencies offered no
objection or concerns with the application as submitted: the
Separate School Board; the Public School Board; and the Town of
Newcastle Fire Department.
8 . 2 The Town of Newcastle Community Services Department advise that
the planned population of the subject neighbourhood would be served
by Courtice West Park and a future parkette north of the subject
site. Community Services Staff have no objection subject to a five"
percent (5%) cash-in-lieu of parkland dedication.
8 . 3 The Town of Newcastle Public Works Department commented that they
have no objection to the application subject to a number of
conditions: That the applicant bear the costs ( 100%) of any works
on Varcoe Road which are necessitated as a result of this
development; that the applicant provides a cash contribution for
street lighting ($525 . 00) ; that the applicant provide a lot grading
plan acceptable to the Director of Public Works; and that in
accordance with the subdivision agreement for abutting lands, the
applicant shall reimburse the Town for 50% of the costs of the
roads and services ($2506 .44) .
8 .4 Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority has advised that the
subject lands are subject to Ontario Regulation 161/80, requiring
written permission from CLOCA prior to any filling or grading on
site. ,5

REPORT NO. : PD-139-90 PAGE 5
8.5 The Region Planning Staff have noted that the lands are designated
residential in both the Durham and Town Official Plans and the
application appears to conform. In addition, full municipal
services are available to the site from existing services on Varcoe
Road.
9 STAFF COMMENTS
9 . 1 The subject application is an infilling situation between two
existing dwellings . The lands both to the north and south on
Varcoe Road have existing single family dwellings with relatively
deep lots . The development of the proposed lot would not have an
impact on the proponents ability to sever the rear portion of the
lot for future development at a latter date. The application to
create one ( 1) additional residential lot would appear consistent
with existing uses fronting on Varcoe Road.
9 .2 As noted previously, the applicant is seeking to create a lot
having a 13 . 78 m frontage. Although Staff have no difficulty with
the concept, the lot frontage is of concern. The existing dwellings
fronting on the east side of Varcoe Road are all currently 15 .0 m
(50ft. ) minimum frontages . Any redevelopment of lots on the west
side of Varcoe Road should be consistent with this and also provide
15. 0 m (50ft) minimum frontages . In addition, Varcoe Road is
designated as a collector road in the Town of Newcastle Official
Plan, although the function of this road is to permit access to
adjacent lands, it also distributes traffic between local roads and
arterial roads . Therefore it is reasonable to maintain limited
access, which can be further achieved with larger frontages .
9 . 3 The applicant has advised that should a 15 . 0 m minimum frontage be
required, the required site yards ( 1. 2 m) would be maintained
between the existing dwelling and accessory structures on the
retained lot and the new lot line.

10. CONCLUSION
10. 1 In consideration of the above, Staff would have no objection to the
proposal to create one additional single family dwelling lot as
revised to a 15. 0 m minimum frontage. Therefore, Staff recommend
approval of the attached zoning by-law amendment. The removal of
the "Holding (H) " prefix will require Council approval, at such
time as the Land Severance is approved and the Town's conditions
are satisfied.
