SUUCT: SITE PLAN APPLICATION
209 KING STREET EAST
SCOTT'S FOOD SERVICE (JOHN RICE)
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is respectfully recommended to Council the following:
1. THAT Report PD-336-90 be received;
2 . THAT Mr. John Rice be advised that the Town is not prepared to
accept his proposal as per his letter dated October 4, 1990,
(October 30, 1990 Council Correspondence Item I-7) and that Mr.
Rice shall convey the 6 . 6 feet road widening to the Town within two
weeks and cause the site plan agreement to be executed forthwith.
1 . Background
1. 1 An application was made by Scott's Food Service for a 950 square
feet expansion to the existing Kentucky Fried Chicken Restaurant,
located at 209 King Street East, Bowmanville.
1.2 As a result of the review of the application, the Public Works
Department requested a 6 . 6 feet wide road widening to be' deeded to
the Town as part of the requirement of the Site Plan Agreement.
1 . 3 Mr. Rice indicated that he is not prepared to give up the land for
road widening purposes . However, in exchange, he will convey two
sight triangles to the Town (see attached sketch) . In reviewing

REPORT NO. : PD-336-90 PAGE 2
the proposal made by Mr. Rice, Staff feel that this is a
significant deviation from Council's policies and we advised Mr.
Rice that only Council has the authority to deal with this matter.
1.4 Subsequently, Mr. Rice appeared before Council on October 30, 1990
and the matter was referred to Staff for a report. In summary, Mr.
Rice requested that the Town waive the 6 . 6 feet wide road widening
requirement for the entire west side of St. George Street, between
King and Queen Streets, a distance of approximately 330 feet. It
is noted that the land required by the Town for road widening
purpose through this site plan application only amounts to about
43 feet frontage. In return, Mr. Rice indicated that he will deed
to the Town two 5 metre x 5 metre site triangles at the corner of
King and St. George and at Queen and St. George Streets .
2 . COMMENTS:
2 . 1 Scott's Food Service application for site plan approval involves
an addition of some 950 square feet of restaurant space. Under the
provisions of the Planning Act and the Town's site plan by-law,
where there is proposed development or redevelopment, the Town may
require the Owner to provide "at no expense to the Town, widenings
of highways that abut on the land" . In this instance, the required
land for road widening purpose is 6 . 6 feet wide and about 43 feet
in length.
2 .2 Road Design Guideline, as approved by Council requires all local
roads to have a road allowance width of 66 feet. The current road
allowance width of St. George Street is 52 . 8 feet. Half of the
13 . 2 feet deficiency or 6 . 6 feet will come from Scott's Food
Service land.
. . .3
REPORT NO. : PD-336-90 PAGE 3
2 . 3 Mr. Rice apparently owns lands abutting both sides of the Scott's
Food Service lands and his proposal, if approved, will bind the
Town in the future not to acquire similar width road widening on
his properties should he redevelop these lands .
2 .4 The proposal by Mr. Rice is beyond the jurisdiction of Town Staff
to deal with as it pertains to making a deal involving lands that
are not subject to the site plan application.
2 .5 Staff's position on this matter has been and still is, that we
should acquire the necessary land for road widening purpose now to
ensure we will eventually have a road allowance width of 66 feet
to meet today's standard. If the Town foregoes this requirement,
we will be perpetuating the road width deficiency and set a
precedence for others to follow. In addition, it should be noted
that the general area is zoned "Commercial" and will undergo
redevelopment for higher intensity use in the future. It is
essential that local roads in the general area have sufficient
width to meet future needs .
2 . 6 As far as the site triangles being offered by Mr. Rice as exchange
for road widening, Staff wish to advise that should these
properties be proposed for redevelopment in the future, the Town
will be able to acquire the site triangles through the site plan
approval process .
Respectfully submitted, Recommended for presentation
to the Committee
