CORPORATION OF THE TOWN OF NEWCASTLE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT T.T.EDWARDS,M.C.I.P.,Director HAMPTON,ONTARIO LOB UO TEL.(416)263.2231 REPORT TO THE GENERAL PURPOSE AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING OF APRIL 16, 1984 REPORT NO. : PD-93-84 SUBJECT: PLAN OF SUBDIVISION - 18T-74067 PART LOT 11 , CONCESSION 2, BOWMANVILLE CEAN INVESTMENTS LIMITED REVISED CONDITIONS OF DRAFT APPROVAL RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration Committee recommend to Council the following : 1 . That Report PO-93-84 be received for information; and 2. That in the absence of a further revision to the draft plan, that the Ministry of Housing be advised that the Town has no objection to the extension of draft plan approval to June 5, 1985. . ..2 i REPORT NO. : PO-93-84 Page 2 BACKGROUND: Council , at their meeting of November 14, 1983 endorsed the following resolution : "Upon Cean Investments' submission of a "typical road cross-section" detailing all above ground and under- ground utilities illustrating their horizontal separations thereby satisfying the Town of Newcastle Works Department, that the proposed subdivision could be serviced through a 16.73 metre (55.89 feet) road allowance, the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing be advised of the following: a) THAT the Town of Newcastle has no objection to the approval of the revised Plan 18T-74067 dated July 27, 1983 as prepared by Donovan & Fleischmann Co. Limited; and b) THAT the Town of Newcastle request that the conditions of draft approval for 18T-74067 be amended as contained on Attachment No. 1 to this Report; and c) THAT a copy of said Report be forwarded to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing for their information, records and action thereon ; and d) THAT a copy of said Report be forwarded to the Region of Durham for their information." The Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing was advised by correspondence dated November 24, 1983, that the Town of Newcastle Works Department had been satisfied respecting the servicing of the site. On January 27, 1984, Staff was advised by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing that pursuant to Section 36(12) of the Planning Act, the conditions of draft approval were to be deleted and replaced with "revised conditions and notes". Within note No. 4 - Lapsing of Draft Approval , it was stated "if final approval . ..3 REPORT NO. : PD-93-84 Page 3 is not given to this Plan within three (3) years of the draft approval date, and no extensions have been granted , draft approval shall lapse under Section 36(13) of the Planning Act." Based upon the above, it was Staff's understanding that draft approval was issued for a further three (3) year period - January 23, 1987. On April 2, 1984, the Ministry indicated to Staff, the issuance of draft approval revised and dated January 2.3, 1984, was not to be interpreted as the issuance of a "new approval" to commence for a further three (3) year period, but rather a revision to the previously issued draft approval , expiring on April 5, 1984. Staff advised the Ministry that the Town was presently reviewing a proposed alteration to the road pattern, at the request of a delegation heard before Council at their March 26, 1984 meeting. Accordingly, Staff requested an extension of draft approval for a further two (2) month period - June 5, 1984, pending the resolution of the above matter. Further to the delegations heard by Council at their March 26, 1984 meeting, Staff requested of the Works Department, a review of, and a submission of comments/concerns which they may foresee as applicable, to the cost , construction and maintenance of the road pattern initiated by the local residents. By correspondence of April 3, 1984, it was Staff' s considered opinion that disrupting the continuity of a road, by introducing horizontal curves decreases the safety of said road. Accidents generally occur on curves and at intersections. The draft approved plan - August 5, . . .4 REPORT NO. : PD-93-84 Page 4 1980, and the most recent amendment to the Plan - Council November 14, 1983, Ministry of Housing - January 23, 1984, would appear to be, from a "safety factor" , a more accommodating pattern of the three (3) alternatives. As there is nominally, more road in the originally approved plan, and that suggested by area residents, annual road maintenance cost would be slightly higher than for the presently approved plan. The added annual costs of maintaining storm sewers , catchbasins , and manholes would also be higher. Within the original draft approved plan of subdivision, Block 36; located to the southeast of the road allowance , was to form a component of the noise attenuation measures through the provision of a berm and fencing. The associated costs and time related maintenance of such an area and use would be the responsibility of the Town of Newcastle. The revised plan of subdivision incorporates the berming and fencing provisions within the confines of the rearyards of the residential lots, thus placing the responsibility for maintenance with future residents, thus eliminating an annually recurring cost to the Town. In addition to the above, the Works Department advises that within the revised Plan, as proposed by the developer and approved by Council , the opportunity is present for extension of the storm sewer servicing the development along the access road to High Street. Such a storm sewer would provide an outlet which would solve the chronic drainage problems on High Street. Relocating this road as proposed by the area residents, would increase the cost, to the Municipality, of correcting such drainage problems due to the increased length of storm sewer required to be constructed. . . .5 jJ� REPORT NO. : PD-93-84 Page 5 The attached plan entitled "Scheme #2", is representative of the plan submitted by Cean Investments illustrating the proposed location of the "travelled portion" of the road in relation to the neighbouring properties. Staff would note that in consideration of the proximity of the dwelling unit to the northerly lot line (of the road allowance) , the paved portion (28 foot width) has been offset within the fifty-five (55) foot road width ; providing a separation of approximately 6.55 metres (21 .5 feet) between the dwelling unit and the "travelled portion" of the road. Mr. Willatts (owner of the property to the north) has been advised that consideration will be given to the protection of the privacy of the existing residences. Staff would note for the Committee's information that screening/fencing will be addressed within the provisions of the subdivision agreement between Cean Investments and the Town. Lastly, staff would note that Council , at their meeting of January 9, 1984, endorsed the designating of 85 High Street (property to the south of road allowance) by the Town of Newcastle Local Architectural Conservation Authority and further requested that the Clerk prepare, send and publish the required notices of intent pursuant to Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act ; reporting back to Council following the prescribed notification period. Staff recommended to the Committee that the above request be approved, in a report to the General Purpose and Administration Committee, January 3, 1984. In consideration of the above, it is staff's opinion that the revised draft plan would not offend the designating of 85 High Street. . . .6 REPORT NO. : PO-93-84 Page 6 In consideration of the above, and as noted within Staff Report PD-164-83 - General Purpose and Administration Committee meeting of November 7, 1983, Staff have no objection to the Plan of Subdivision as revised on January 23, 1984 by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, and in fact, recommend it as the best alternative from a technical point of view, bearing in mind, the Town 's long term obligations for maintenance and the general public interest relative to correcting existing deficiencies .
