REPORT NO. : PD-73-84 Page 2
BACKGROUND:
At the meeting held on November 14, 1983 and January 23,
1984, Council adopted the following resolutions respecting
Plans of Subdivision 18T-24002 (Jeffery Construction) and
18T-81013 (1927 Investments Limited) :
"i ) The Council of the Town of Newcastle hereby
requests the Minister of Municipal Affairs and
Housing to extend the draft plan approval for
Subdivision 18T-24002 for a further one year
period to January 25, 1985, subject to the
applicant revising the draft plan to show a
maximum of twenty-two (22) single family lots" -
November 14, 1983.
"ii ) That the Region of Durham be advised that the Town
of Newcastle recommends approval of Plan 18T-81013
dated March 14, 1980, prepared by Donevan &
Fleischmann and revised October 6, 1981 , subject
to the conditions contained in Attachment No. 1 to
this Report; and
That a copy of Staff Report PD-16-84 be forwarded
to the Region of Durham" - January 23, 1984.
As noted within the conditions for draft approval as
considered and approved by the Town of Newcastle, an
appropriate zoning by-law amendment, amending By-law 2.111 ,
of the former Township of Darlington was to be obtained and
in effect for each plan of subdivision. Accordingly,
applications requesting an amendment to By-law 2111 have
been submitted for the Town's review and consideration.
COMMENTS:
Section 3.9 "STAGING" within the Enniskillen Development
Plan stipulates that new development within the areas
designated for expansion shall be limited to fifteen (15)
. . .3

REPORT NO. : PD-73-84 Page 3
lots per annum. Schedule ' 1 ' within the Hamlet Plan
identifies alphabetically, the areas designated for
expansion and furthermore, represents the sequence for
staging development , dependant upon the availability of
ground water supplies. It is noted that any lots approved
in excess of the annual limit (15) shall be given a deferred
designation in the implementing restricted area by-law.
Committee may recall , that within Staff Report PD-16-84
(Plan of Subdivision 18T-81013; 1927 Investments Limited) it
was noted draft approval as issued for the Jeffery's
Subdivision, 18T-24002 (twenty-two lots) within area 'A' on
Schedule '1 ' , represented a period of approximately a year
and a half - 15 lots per annum, within which building
permits could not be issued for Plan of Subdivision
18T-81013 (1927 Investments Limited). Should the
applicant, on behalf of 1927 Investments Limited, wish to
proceed prior to the Jeffery's Subdivision, the policies of
the Enniskillen Hamlet Plan would prohibit the issuance of
building permits.
Staff would note for Committee' s consideration, that
presently within the Town of Newcastle, exclusive of the
Hamlet of Enniskillen, phasing/staging of development is
normally regulated through each individual subdivision
i
agreement, and not contingent upon other subdivisions
proceeding first, unless a servicing (municipal sewer and
water) aspect is involved; being a prerequisite to future
development.
Development on the otherhand, within the Hamlet of
Enniskillen, is proposed to proceed with private services,
drilled wells and septic systems. Staff acknowledges that
. ..4
i
REPORT NO. : PO-73-84 Page 4
the policies as contained within the Hamlet Plan involving
staging of development, primarily address the concerns of
"safe guarding" existing development and the levels of
service within the Hamlet of Enniskillen itself i .e. ; water
table level , existing septic systems and the impact any new
developments would have on the supply and location of these
services. Staff concurs with this general intent and any
new development must proceed in such a manner that the
impact upon the existing development and services available
are mitigated.
The Region of Durham Official Plan, Section 10.4.2.6, states
that "Regional Council in co-operation with the Council of
the respective area municipality and the Ministry of
Environment, shall monitor growth in Hamlets in order to
preclude groundwater or private waste disposal system
problems which might arise as a consequence of development.
If such problems arise which cannot be resolved, the
authority having jurisdiction, shall take into account
necessary measures by either staging or denying further
approvals of Plan of Subdivisions."
Within the Hamlet Plan for Tyrone, the following provision
is included in consideration of the above-noted provision
within the Durham Region Official Plan:
"Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary,
prior to new development occuring, either by
subdivision or consent, the applicant(s) will be
responsible for demonstrating to the satisfaction of
the Town and the Durham Health Unit , the methods
whereby sanitary sewage and storm runoff will be dealt

with. In addition, the applicant must present an
Engineering Report to demonstrate to the satisfaction
of the Town and the Region of Durham, that an adequate
supply of potable water exists to serve the proposed
development. This Engineering Report must also
address the likely impact of the proposal on existing
water supplies within the Hamlet and surrounding
area
It is staff' s opinion, that the amending of the Enniskillen
Hamlet Plan to incorporate the above provision would provide
an adequate and sufficient means of protecting the existing
Hamlet development in respect to the availability of
services. Through the submissions of an Engineering Report,
the necessary background information to justify, permit,
stage or deny a plan of subdivision, will be available. The
implementing of such a policy will permit, where applicable,
the concurrent development of plans of subdivision
(Jeffreys ' and 1927 Investments Limited). However, staff
would note that the "market demands" would continue to play
a major role in helping to determine when the individual
owners proceed with their developments.
In consideration of the above, staff would have no
objections to the amending of the Hamlet of Enniskillen
Development Plan as contained within the recommendations of
this report and Attachment No. 1 thereto.

AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO THE HAMLET DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR THE
HAMLET OF ENNISKILLEN
1 . Purpose of Amendment
The purpose of Amendment No.2 to the Hamlet Development Plan for the
Hamlet of Enniskillen, is to delete all references within the
Development Plan pertaining to a quantitative staging program, and
to replace same with provisions allowing development to proceed upon
satisfying the Town and the Region of Durham, that an adequate
supply of potable water exists to serve the proposed development, in
a manner that will minimize any adverse impacts upon the Hamlet and
surrounding area.
2. Basis of Amendment
The amendment to the Enniskillen Hamlet Development Plan is based
upon a desire by the Town of Newcastle, to permit new residential
development to proceed based on the demonstration through an
Engineering Report, to the satisfaction of the Town and the Region
of Durham, that an adequate supply of potable water exists to serve
the proposed development. This Engineering Report must also address
the likely impact of the proposal on existing water supplies within
the Hamlet and surrounding area.
3. Actual Amendment
(i ) Schedule "1" to the Hamlet Development Plan for the Hamlet of
Enniskillen, is hereby amended by deleting all references to
"Sequence of Staging".
(ii ) Section "3" of the Hamlet Development Plan for the Hamlet of
Enniskillen, is hereby amended by deleting Subsection 3.8 in
its entirety and replacing said Subsection with the following:
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, prior to new
development occuring, either by subdivision or consent , the
applicant(s) will be responsible for demonstrating to the
satisfaction of the Town and the Durham Health Unit, the
methods whereby sanitary sewage and storm runoff will be
dealt with. In addition, the applicant must present an
Engineering Report to demonstrate to the satisfaction of the
Town and the Region of Durham, that an adequate supply of
potable water exists to serve the proposed development.
This Engineering Report must also address the likely impact
of the proposal on existing water supplies within the Hamlet
and surrounding area."

the operation of private sanitary waste disposal systems.
(ii ) The policies of this section shall not be interpreted as
being applicable to areas designated for infilling.
(iii ) In the case of the areas designated as rural residential ,
staging will only be required for proposals in excess of
