Report #3: to the Members of the
Planning Advisory Committee,
Town of Newcastle
From: John Layng, Planning Consultant
April 15, 1974
RE: PROPOSED ADDITIONS TO THE
FLYING DUTCHMAN MOTOR INN,
BASE LINE ROAD BETWEEN LIBERTY & DUKE STREETS
BOWMANVILLE, TOWN OF NEWCASTLE
Mr. J. J. Bourke, president of the Flying Dutchman is not
applying for an approval of a specific scheme but asking if
certain ideas incorporated in their first sketches could be
approved.
The Owners propose to demolish the 57 existing units on the
north end of the property facing the Base Line Road; and to
replace these units with a ten storey apartment - hotel. The
number and sizes of rooms and suites has not yet been
determined.
The Owners also propose to expand the 1967, three storey
wing, of the Motor Inn to the south. Parking would be
increased to spaces for 240 cars.
The ten storey building does not conflict with the immediate
area since the site is very open with low coverage. The
north set --back from the Base Line Road would be about 109
feet to prevent excessive shadows on other properties.
The ten storey building would be in scale with the
spaciousness of Highway 401; and would be a significant
landmark for Bowmanville. The three storey building is
acceptable.
