Lt. 7, Conc . 2, former Township of Clarke. The lands subject to rezoning have approximately 60. 0 metres (200 ft) frontage on the north side of Highway No. 2 . The site is situated east of Payne Crescent and west of the road allowance between lot 6 and 7 . 3. BACKGROUND 3 . 1 An application was received by the Town of Newcastle Planning and Development Department on January 16, 1990, proposing to rezone a 0. 6 Ha parcel of land fronting on Highway No. 2 in the Hamlet of Newtonville. The proposed rezoning is to permit the future creation of two (2 ) residential dwelling lots with access on Highway No. 2 within the Hamlet boundaries . Applications for land severance have not yet been filed. 3 .2 The proposed lots are adjacent to, and on the west side of a retirement lot which was previously severed from the applicants holdings (LD 86/286) . The proponent has submitted a 'Preliminary Geotechnical and Hydrogeological Evaluation' in support of the proposed zoning by-law amendment. This report was circulated to the appropriate agencies for review and comment in accordance with the Official Plan policies . 4 EXISTING AND SURROUNDING USES 4 . 1 The lands are currently vacant and have been partially utilized for agricultural production in conjunction with the balance of the applicants total holdings (approximately 290 acres) . 4 .2 Surrounding land uses include: North: vacant agricultural land East: vacant land with limited residential dwellings fronting on Highway No. 2 . South: limited residential dwellings fronting on Payne rescen . West: residential dwellings fronting on Highway No. 2 . . . . .3 f, iir REPORT NO. : PD-352-90 PAGE 3 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. 5 .2 One letter of objection was received during the processing of the subject rezoning application. Mr Robins is of the impression, from information received from the Durham Land Division Committee, that the Paynes were only creating one retirement lot fronting on Highway No. 2 previously created (LD 86/286) and an 18 acre (7 .28Ha) parcel of land west of the subject lands for future development, which he has no objection to. He objects to any further development of this Prime Agricultural land and fears should this application be approved further development will take place. 6 OFFICIAL PLAN POLICIES 6 . 1 Within the Durham Regional Official Plan the subject property is designated 'Hamlet' . The Hamlet policies indicate the predominant land use within the a 'Hamlet' shall be for the development of housing. The application would appear to comply. 6 .2 Within the Town of Newcastle Official Plan, Hamlet policies, the subject lands are within the 'Newtonville Hamlet' and designated 'Residential Expansion' . Said policies allow for infilling and new development within a Hamlet that compliments and enhances the character of the Hamlet. Development within the Newtonville hamlet may proceed on lot sizes of less than 0.4 Ha ( 1. 0 acre) minimum, provided that a detailed engineering report is submitted, demonstrating that soil conditions can support the reduced lot size without causing soil and groundwater contamination, but in no case shall the lot size be reduced below new eve opmen in f . . . .4 REPORT NO. : PD-352-90 PAGE 4 Newtonville shall be serviced by municipal water supply and private waste disposal system. The application proposes 0. 3 Ha (0 . 75 acre) lot sizes on municipal water. The application would appear to comply. 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 Exception (A-1) 1 . Said zone allows for farm related uses as well as limited residential uses . Minimum lot size within said zone is 40 . 0 Ha for all new agricultural lots created in accordance with the Durham Official Plan policies. 8 AGENCY COMONTS 8 . 1 The subject application was circulated to a number of agencies and departments for comment. The following provided no objection or comment to the application in response to their review of the proposal: Peterborough Victoria Northumberland and Newcastle Separate School Board; the Northumberland Newcastle Public School Board; the Ganaraska Conservation Authority; the Regional Health Department; the Ministry of Agriculture and Food; the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Town of Newcastle Fire Department. 8 .2 The Town of Newcastle Community Services Department advise that they have no objection subject to a five percent (5%) cash-in- lieu of parkland dedication. 8 . 3 The Town of Newcastle Public Works Department requested the proponent submit a lot grading and drainage plan, make application for property access, bear the costs ( 100%) of any works on Highway No. 2 which are necessitated as a result of this development, and provide contributions for street lighting. 8 .4 The Regional Planning Department comments identified the site as eing within Newtonviiie HamIeE. whirh whir is a HamTef desianafpa for aC; . . . .5 REPORT NO. : PD-352-90 PAGE 5 growth. Newtonville can only develop on municipal water and only to a maximum 345 residential dwelling units . The size of the residential lots may be reduced to 0 .2 Ha based on an engineering report that satisfies the Region, the Town and the Ministry of the Environment that soil conditions can support the reduced lot size without causing soil and groundwater contamination. The comments also advised that the applicant has paid for a total of 27 water connections. Future development of the retained land ( 18T-90013) will be limited to 25 lots . The application would appear to be in conformity. A subsequent correspondence from the Regional Planning Department advised that the Health Department has reviewed the Hydrogeological Evaluation submitted in support of the application and have no objection to the creation of the proposed lots . 8 . 5 The Ministry of Transportation responded that the Ministry Staff have no objection to the rezoning application subject to one residential access being granted for each lot from Highway No. 2, all new dwellings being setback a minimum of 7 .5 metres (25 feet) from the Highway property line or 26 metres (85 feet) from the centre line of the highway, whichever is greater and that land use and entrance permits be obtained from the Ministry prior to construction. 8 . 6 The Ministry of the Environment was circulated a copy of the Engineering Report for their review and comment in accordance with the Hamlet policies. To date no written response has been received. Verbal communication with Ministry Staff has advised that they do not provide formal comment on applications which create less that five (5) residential units . They further suggested that should the Health Department have no objection to the application, they would most likely maintain a similar J � . . . .6 REPORT NO. : PD-352-90 PAGE 6 9 STAFF COMMENTS 9 . 1 The subject application proposes to rezone the subject lands from "Agricultural Exception (A-1) " to a residential zone to permit the development of two lots . The applicant has previously created a retirement lot adjacent to the subject property to the east. Said lot also has a 30 metre frontage and an area of 3000 square metres, similar to the proposed lots . The proposal received no objection through the circulation process, although various conditions of approval were expressed. 9 . 2 The Ministry of Transportation noted the creation of the lots would not create a problem in terms of access to Highway No. 2 . The Health Department has reviewed the Engineering report submitted in support of the application and advises of no problems with respect to soil capabilities . The Region of Durham has advised that the applicant has applied and paid for 27 water supply connections, therefore the development of these two lots would result in 25 connections for the development of the balance of their lands . 9 . 3 The conditions of approval as suggested by both the Town of Newcastle Public Works Department and the Community Services Department would be imposed through the subsequent land severance applications . The Ministry of Transportation requirement for setback from the Highway will be imposed through the proposed zoning by-law amendment. 10 CONCLUSION 10. 1 The application appears to comply with the provisions of the Durham and Newcastle Official Plans and in consideration of the comments contained above, Staff would have no objection to the approval of the subject rezoning application to permit two hamlet residential lots . .7 REPORT NO. : PD-a52-90 PAGE 7 Respectfully submitted, Recommended for presentation to the Committee A Franklin Wu, M.C.
