The Official Plan states that the delineation of the limits of and the detailing of land uses in hamlets shall be undertaken in a development plan prior to major new development taking place. Pursuant to this policy, the Region of Durham Planning Department advised the applicant that the subject application would not be approved unless it was indicated to be within the limits of Orono as determined through a Hamlet Development Plan. 5 . 3 The proposed Secondary Plan for Orono as prepared by Proctor and Redfern and as recommended for approval by Staff indicates only the frontage and the southern extension of the subject site as being located within the hamlet of Orono. The remainder of the site lies outside the proposed boundaries . The hamlet boundaries are based on the area which is currently serviceable with municipal water. 5. 4 The frontage of the subject property on Regional Road 17 is zoned 'Urban Residential Exception (Rl-2) ' Zone by By-law 84- 63, the Comprehensive Zoning By-law. This zone permits residential development on municipal water. The remainder of the property is zoned 'Agricultural (A) ' . 6. PUBLIC SUBMISSIONS 6 . 1 No submissions have been received from the public in respect of the proposed subdivision. 599 55 REPORT NO. : PD-144 -90 PAGE 4 7. AGENCY COMMENTS 7 . 1 The Region of Durham Planning Department and the Town Planning Department undertook a circulation of the subject subdivision application. The following agencies indicated no objection: Ministry of Natural Resources Separate School Board Public School Board Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority 7 .2 The Town of Newcastle Public Works Department requested the preparation of a storm drainage report and that curb and gutter and a storm sewer be provided for the collection of road drainage. 7 . 3 The Town of Newcastle Community Services Department requested cash-in-lieu of 5 percent parkland dedication. 7 .4 The Town of Newcastle Fire Department indicated a concern with the lack of municipal water available for fire-fighting. 7 .5 The Region of Durham Works Department has noted that the subject property is located in the Zone 2 water pressure zone. The Region has no plans at the present time to extend municipal water service into this water supply zone. 7 . 6 The Ministry of the Environment noted that, due to the density of the proposed development, excessive nitrate levels could result in the groundwater. This could result in the impairment of existing wells off-site and future groundwater use. 59 , �JO REPORT NO. : PD-144 -90 PAGE 5 7 .7 The Region of Durham Health Department noted that, due to clay type soils found on the subject property, the minimum lot size must be 2000 square metres (0 .49 acres) . They also required a lot servicing plan for each lot. 7 . 8 The Ministry of Agriculture and Food indicated no objection to the development of that portion of the site zoned 'R1-21 . A Justification Report as required pursuant to Section 3 . 14 of the Foodland Guidelines was requested for that part of the subdivision within the 'A' zone. B. STAFF COMMENTS 8 . 1 In reviewing the agency comments, of particular importance are the comments from the Region of Durham Works Department that municipal water is currently not available to the subject property. This is also reflected by the Orono Secondary Plan which has been finalized on the basis of residential development on municipal water in the Zone 1 water supply system. The subject site lies entirely within the Zone 2 supply zone, although a small portion of the site has been designated as 'Residential Expansion' . 8 .2 A 'Possible Access Point' has been indicated by the Orono Secondary Plan in the Regional Road 17 frontage of the subject property. This point is directly opposite Millson Hill Drive and encourages the maintenance of an access point to vacant lands currently outside the hamlet but with long term development potential. This access point may also prove to be the only possible access to the 'Residential Expansion' area shown on the Secondary Plan. 599 1I REPORT NO. : PD-144 -90 PAGE 6 9. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 9 . 1 The proposed subdivision lies outside the designated hamlet boundaries as indicated by the Orono Secondary Plan inasmuch as municipal water is not available to the subject property. The application is therefore recommended for denial as not being in conformity with the Secondary Plan.
