approved by Regional Council
approval, Assuming that the
amendment should be in force
is now appropriate to draw up
and site plan agreement as
required by the Official Plan Amendment,
l,s the
text of
these documents,
particularly, the site plan agreement, are
liable
to be
somewhat comp-
licated, and I have not sufficient time to devote to this specific
work, I recommend that the required zoning amendment and agreement be
drawn up by Municipal Planning Consultants Co. Ltd,, in consultation
with myself, the Director of Engineering (re entrances, road widenings,
sidewalks etc,) and the Durham Regional Health Unit (re sewage disposal
facilities). The proposed zoning amendment should be phrased as an
amendment to the new zoning by-law for Bowmanville which will hopefully
be in force by the time the amendment is ready for adoption. The cost
of work done by the consultant should be charged to the applicant.
Respectfully submitted,

urban purposes. This type of development is not an economical or
desirable from a planning viewpoint in an intended urban area.
The Approved Official Plan and Amendment NO. 8 have both long called
for urban development in this area, and it appears that the Provin-
cial Housing E,ction Program are presently considering offering the
Town a grant to enable a community plan for this area to be under-
taken. The Region has now taken over the water and sewer facilities
in Oshawa which would service the Courtice area and this should make
it possible to get started soon on the detailed planning and develop-
ment of this community. One of the problems which makes it difficult
to produce and implement a logical community plan for this area is
the fragmentation of land ownership in the area and the amount of
scattered unserviced ribbon development which already exists. If
the Courtice area is going to be the subject of a detailed community
plan in the near future, then I feel that Council should adopt a
firm policy of discouraging,wherever possible, further unserviced
development and also discouraging the further fragmentation of land
ownership in this area until the proposed community plan has been
produced.
4. Recommendations
(a) This application should be refused at the present time
(b) Council should adopt a stated policy of discouraging further
unserviced development and the further division of land in the
proposed Courtice Urban Area as tentatively defined in proposed
Amendment NO. 8 to the Darlington Official Plan, until such

time as a Community Development Plan has been produced for the
area.
(c) Regional Council and the Land Division Committee should be
informed of the policy statement recommended above.
Respectfully submitted,

Planning Director.
