Subsequently, on January 21, 1988, the Town was advised by the Regional Planning Department of an application . . .2 REPORT NO. : PD-67-88 PAGE 2 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- submitted by Mr. VanAndel to amend the Town of Newcastle Official Plan. The subject applications seek to expand a six (6) unit apartment building and an adjacent four (4) unit apartment building to a forty-six (46) unit apartment building on a .59 hectare parcel of land on 4 Bernard Street in Bowmanville. The lands proposed for development are designated "Low Density Residential" by the Town of Newcastle official Plan. Policies within this document limit the density on lands so designated to fifteen (15) units per net residential hectare. The proposed development would have a density of 77 units per hectare. Staff would note that the development would exceed the limit of the Medium density designation in the Official Plan. Accordingly, the development would be considered a High Density designation, being not less than 55 and up to 80 units per hectare. The development site is zoned as "Urban Residential Type One (RI)II in the Town of Newcastle Comprehensive Zoning By-law 84-63, as amended. Staff would note that the zoning would also be amended to reflect the increase in density. Staff would note for the Committee's information that, 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 accordance with departmental procedures the subject applications were circulated to obtain comments from other departments and agencies. The following agencies offered no objection to the applications as filed: - Town of Newcastle Building Department - Newcastle Hydro Electric Commission - Regional Health Department The Town of Newcastle Fire Department noted an objection to the proposal, noting their concerns of maintaining efficiency with a limited number of Staff. However, the Department noted that, if the proposal was approved, it must comply with Subsection 3.2.5.2(6) of the Ontario Building code dealing with access routes to all parts of the site for firefighting purposes. As well, adequate water for firefighting should be provided as required under 3 REPORT NO. : PD-67-88 PAGE 3 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subsection 3.2.5.3 (Appendix A-3) of the Ontario Building Code. In addition, the building must be constructed in accordance with the Ontario Building and Fire Codes. The Town of Newcastle Public Works Department also noted an objection to the applications as filed. The Department noted a discrepancy as to the dimension and ownership of Bernard Street. The Town's records would indicate that Bernard Street is a Town owned and maintained public road while the site plan would indicate that Bernard Street is a private right-of-way owned by two landowners. In addition, the Department requires more information relating to the storm sewer between house number 39 and 45 on Third Street. The applicant's Engineer also must prepare a site servicing report that addresses roads and storm drainage to the satisfaction of the Director of Public Works. Upon submissions of the above-noted information, the Public Works Department shall review the proposal and provide comments accordingly. Staff would note, that the applicant's solicitor had provided information as to the ownership and dimensions of Bernard Street. However, Staff has referred the information to the Town's Solicitor for further clarification. The Regional Planning Department acknowledged receipt of the applications and requested that the amending by-law not be passed until the related Official Plan Amendment has been dealt with by Town Council and Regional Council. In addition, the following agencies must submit comments: - Town of Newcastle Community Services Department - Regional Works Department - CP Rail - Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority 4 REPORT 0O. : 9D-87-88 PAGE 4 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In consideration of the Public Works comments and further clarification of the ownership and dimensions of Bernard Street, as well as the comments pending from outside agencies, Staff would respectfully recommend that the applications be referred back to Staff for a subsequent report and recommendation.
