APPLICATION FOR REZONING FOR KLAUS ZULAUF TO
PERMIT Expansion of Trailway Restaurant on
H 2 east of Newcastle Vi11a e
14-1,
The present Official Plan designation on this site is Commercial®
Present zoning is agricultural and the applicant has requested a commer-
cial zoning. Under the Clarke Township by --law 1653, the snack bar is
presently a legal nonconforming use, This restricts the building to
its present size.
On studying this request and inspecting the site the following obser-
vations were made:
(a) lot area is 34,200 sq.ft. but the required area for a commercial
use is X3.560 sq.f t.(1 acre). This lot thus falls short by
9,360 sq.ft.
(b) the site fronts on Provincial Highway #2, whereon a 110 ft® set
back is required. The present building and proposed new building
would both be approximately 95.5 ft. back from the highway®
(c) the present and proposed total commercial area of floor space
would be about 2,000 sq.ft. which will require ten (200 ft.)
parking spaces, plus 1 additional one for the single family resi-
dence. This would bring the total area up to 2,200 sq.ft.
including the driveway.
COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Because the present building has been operating for the past 12 years
without creating any problems with only a 95" ft. set back from the road,
any new building which is erected could be brought forward as far as the
original one.

COMMENTS AND LEC0151ENDATIONSe (cont'd....)
The area has a high water table and the soil type is an acid -clay
mixture making septic tank facilities difficult to maintain, Any
additional building would increase the demand on such facilities,
Therefore it is my recommendation that approval be sought from the
Durham Regional Health Unit before rezoning is approved.
The applicant has designated an overly extensive portion of his prop-
erty as parking lot. If all the area
was
to be
used
as such,
the
increased run off would further add to
the
high
water
table.
It is
also important that access be restricted to two appropriately designed
driveways entering from Hwy. #2. The submitted site plan does not
appear to suggest this.
We uould suggest that the cross hatched area would be sufficient area
for parking requirements for the proposed use. Also, we may add that
the northern designated parking area would be too close to the highway.
It must be pointed out that parking facilities must be in accordance
to the by-law 1653 Section 3.11.
In conclusion, the application should be approved provided that the
Health Unit are satisfied that the site can conform with health unit
requirements. The applicant should be asked to furnish evidence on this.
Following submission of this evidence a by --law incorporating a site plan
should be drafted and submitted to Council. For this purpose the appli-
cant should be required to supply a plan of survey more accurate than
the attached sketch.
Respectfully submitted,
,,"Georffe Fa Howden'
Planning Director.
