REQUEST TO EXTEND THE HAMLET BOUNDARIES FOR THE HAMLET OF BURRETON STATION IN THE TOWNSHIP OF SCUGOG RECOMMENDATIONS: It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration Committee recommend to Council the following: 1. THAT Report PD-151-90 be received; 2 . THAT the Township of Scugog be advised that the Town of Newcastle does not favour the extension of the Hamlet of Burketon Station into the Township of Scugog; 3 . THAT the Township of Scugog and the Region of Durham Planning Department, be so advised and forwarded a copy of Report PD- 151-90; and 4 . THAT the interested parties listed in Report PD-151-90 and any delegations be advised of Council's decision. 1. BACKGROUND 1. 1 At its meeting of December 11, 1989, Council referred to the Director of Planning and Development a letter dated November 29 , 1989 from Mr. E.S. Cuddie, Clerk Administrator for the Township of Scugog. Said correspondence (Attachment #1) requested the views of the Town of Newcastle with respect to a possible extension. of the Hamlet of Burketon Station on the Scugog side of the boundary road between the Township of : `) 116 REPORT NO. : PD-151-90 PAGE 2 Scugog and the Town of Newcastle generally as shown on Attachment #2 . 1. 2 The request from the Township of Scugog was initiated due to a proposal by Mr. Jacques Noel, the owner of land in Lot 11, Concession 1, former Township of Cartwright, to establish six to seven residential lots fronting on the boundary road, west of Old Scugog Road (shown as subject site on Attachment #2) . 1. 3 Mr. Noel had previously submitted a rezoning application in 1987 for eight residential lots on the subject lands. At its meeting of January 25, '1988, Town Council indicated to the Township of Scugog that it had no objections to that proposal. The Region of Durham Planning Department indicated that among other things, the municipal boundary posed a constraint to the extension of the Hamlet of Burketon Station into Scugog Township. The Region indicated that a thorough review of the hamlet secondary plan, any development impacts, sharing and division of responsibility between the Town of Newcastle and the Township of Scugog would be necessary prior to considering any extension of the Hamlet of Burketon Station into Scugog. In April 1988, Scugog Council denied Mr. Noel's rezoning application on the basis of not wishing to extend the Hamlet of Burketon Station into the Township of Scugog. 2. OFFICIAL PLAN The Hamlet of Burketon Station is a designated settlement area within the "Oak Ridges Moraine" in the Durham Region Official Plan. The Plan states that the Region will endeavour to preserve this rural character, natural resources and environmental features of the Moraine. Two active licenced 59911 REPORT NO. : PD-151-90 PAGE 3 pits are located north of the Hamlet in the Township of Scugog. 3. BOUNDARY ROAD Boundary Road is governed by a Boundary Road Agreement between the Township of Scugog and the Town of Newcastle. Under the terms of the agreement, as amended, the Town of Newcastle is responsible to maintain that portion of the road north of the Hamlet of Burketon Station. 4. COMMENTS 4 . 1 The basis of Mr. Noel's request is that since development has occurred on the south side of Boundary Road, and consequently the provision of services would be maximized by having residential development on both sides of the road. This reasoning has some merit for some services such as road maintenance, snow ploughing and street lighting will be required regardless . Many services required for this area would be split between the municipalities . Fire service for the Scugog side would be provided from Cesarea and for the Town side from Enniskillen. Parks and recreation would be the mandate of the respective area municipalities . School buses would serve different School Boards for it is the Durham Boards of Education which service the Township of Scugog. The rationale of developing the north side of Boundary Road on the basis of optimizing services would require a detailed evaluation of alternative locations. (ie. It may be more 599118 REPORT NO. : PD-151-90 PAGE 4 efficient for the Township of Scugog to extend Blackstock than to extend the Hamlet of Burketon Station) . It should be noted that there are many roads in the rural area with strip residential development on one side and this rationale could equally apply to those area. 4.2 Staff are of the opinion that the Boundary Road currently provides a desireable physical boundary for the Hamlet of Burketon Station. It is noted that Concession Road 10 provides a southern boundary and an unopened road allowance between Lots 20 and 21 forms the western boundary. Durham Regional Road 57 is a reasonable eastern boundary although one lot was excluded at the time of the preparation of the hamlet plan since it was licenced as a pit. 4 . 3 The inclusion of the lands north of Boundary Road also creates an administrative problem with one rural settlement area governed by two planning documents . There could be a problem of compatibility between a future Development Plan prepared by the Township of Scugog for the Scugog portion and the Secondary Plan in the Town of Newcastle Official Plan governing the Newcastle portion. It is further noted that the Zoning By-law provisions differ between the two municipalities . 4 .4 At this time there is no specific proposal before the Town, there have been no detailed studies undertaken and there has been no circulation of an application. As such, there is missing information required to finalize any such position. Nevertheless, the Township of Scugog has requested the Town's views and opinions on the prospects of development in the area and the necessity to expand the Hamlet of Burketon Station. 5991 19 REPORT NO. : PD-151-90 PAGE 5 It is Staff's opinion that the current hamlet boundaries provide a distinct edge for development and that the expansion of the Hamlet into the Township of Scugog poses problems in the co-ordination of development and municipal services for the settlement area. Accordingly, it is recommended that the Township of Scugog be advised that the Town does not favour the extension of the Hamlet of Burketon into the Township of Scugog.
