That Report PD-92-85 be received; and 2. That the Region of Durham be advised that the Town of Newcastle has no objection to draft approval of Plan of Subdivision 18T-84011, as revised in red and * attached to this report as Attachment No. 2 and * subject to the conditions as outlined on Attachment No. 3 to this report ; and 3. That a copy of Staff Report PD-92-85 and Council ' s decision be forwarded to the Region of Durham and the applicant. t6 2 REPORT NO. : PD-92-85 Page 2 BACKGROUND: On May 29, 1984, the Region of Durham forwarded to the Town of Newcastle proposed Plan of Subdivision 18T-84011 submitted by Chibra Developments Limited. The plan proposed the creation of nineteen (19) residential lots on a 1 .766 hectare parcel located in Part of Lot 30, Concession 1, south of King Street in Newcastle Village. In December, 1984, the applicant applied to -the Region of Durham Land Division Committee to sever an existing duplex dwelling included within the proposed plan of subdivision, as well as a single family dwelling located on additional lands owned by the applicant in Lot 29 immediately to the east. Both severance applications proposed that the two (2) new lots have direct access to King Street. As a result of discussions with Town Staff, the applicant submitted a revised plan of subdivision which covers 7 hectares and includes both of the severed lots. This revised plan provided for access to be provided to the two (2) severed lots from internal roads once the lands covered by the revised plan of subdivision are developed. The two (2) severance applications were subsequently revised accordingly and approved by the Land Division Committee. The original and revised plans of subdivision were circulated to various departments and agencies for comment. The following is a summary of the major comments received as they relate to the revised plan: Town of Newcastle Public Works Department - Road A (which connects with Highway No. 2) is designated as a collector and should be designed to that classification of road - Road B should be terminated with a temporary turning circle . . .3 REPORT NO. : PD-92-85 Page 3 Town of Newcastle Public Works Department (Cont'd) - That the developer provide adequate illumination for the inter- section at Highway No. 2 and for the frontage of the subject property to Highway No. 2 - That the developer accommodate the requirements for pedestrian access to the downtown area by means of a concrete sidewalk. Town of Newcastle Community Services Department "We recommend cash-in-lieu of 5% park dedication". Region of Durham Works Department "Municipal water is available to the proposal through the abutting watermain along Highway No. 2 which presently terminates in the vicinity of Lot 10 of the proposed plan. The existing sanitary sewer on Highway No. 2 and the receiving pumping station on North Street will provide the necessary servicing capacity to accommodate this proposal . However, due to the constraints of the grade and depth of the receiving sanitary sewer, there are probably some problems for servicing of Lots 38 to 42 inclusive. The exact situation is anticipated to be established when our design Staff have an opportunity to review the detail design of the proposed services. For this reason , development of Lots 38 to 42 inclusive may have to be withheld until an outfall is available to the south. In addition, oversizing of sanitary sewers within the subject plan is required for the purpose of servicing those vacant lands north of Highway No. 2. Based on the foregoing, we have no objection to further processing of this draft plan". Northumberland and Newcastle Board of Education "The Board has no objections to the proposed subdivision. They have expressed a concern that the Town , in its planning, make provisions for adequate sidewalks and/or pedestrian walkways to service potential students walking along major or busy thorough- fares". . . .4 � (b) REPORT NO. : PD-92-85 Page 4 Ministry of Natural Resources "The main concern of Ministry Staff with this proposal is the potential for erosion and sedimentation in the valley lands immediately east of the site, and the affects on Foster Creek and the wetlands downstream at the mouth of Wilmot Creek. The wetland area is a significant warm-water fish spawning habitat and should be protected against excess sedimentation resulting from upstream development activity. We note that the valley lands are appropriately zoned "Environmental Protection (EP)" in By-law 84-63; however, grading and filling works within the valley during construction should be controlled. Based on the above, the Ministry of Natural Resources has no objections to the approval of this proposal subject to the following conditions : 1 . Prior to any grading or construction on the site, the Owner shall erect a snow fence or other suitable barrier along the eastern boundary of the subject proposal . This barrier shall remain in place until all grading, construction and landscaping of -the site are completed, and shall be maintained to prevent the placing of fill or removal of vegetation within the valley lands of Foster Creek. 2. The above requirements shall be incorporated into the subdivision agreement in wording acceptable to the Ministry of Natural Resources." Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority "Portions of the proposed walkway and the lots located along the eastern boundary of the subject proposal are within the fill limit for Foster Creek. No fill can be placed or dumped, permanently or temporarily, in the above area without first securing a permit from the Conservation Authority. We would suggest that the subdivision agreement refer to the Owner's requirement to comply with the flood and fill regulation as administered by the Conservation Authority". Ministry of Transportation and Communications "We recommend dedication of the 5 metre widening along the Highway No. 2 frontage of the subject proposal and conveyance of a 0.3 metre reserve along those lots included in the subject proposal which will back onto Highway No. 2." . . .5 I REPORT NO. : PD-92-85 Page 5 COMMENT: The subject subdivision proposal is located within Residential Neighbourhood 2A as identified by the Newcastle Village Small Urban Area Plan. This neighbourhood is more commonly referred to as the southwest quadrant. The Urban Area Plan states that development plans may be prepared for residential neighbourhoods within the Urban Area. Staff have prepared a conceptual development plan for the southwest quadrant. This conceptual neighbourhood plan also includes draft approved Plan 18T-19720, which is currently being developed by Foster Creek Developments, and two other subdivision proposals which are not, as of yet, draft approved. A copy of this * concept plan is included as Attachment No. 1 hereto. The Urban Area Plan provides for a population of 1 ,640 persons for the southwest quadrant and states that the density of residential development within Newcastle Village shall generally be restricted to low and medium density, with an overall average density not to exceed 14 units per net residential hectare. The subject subdivision plan, which proposes the creation of eighty-four (84) single family lots, would conform to the density requirements of the Official Plan and would not prejudice the developability of undeveloped lands within the neighbourhood. The Urban Area Plan indicates a neighbourhood park in the central portion of the southwest quadrant. Staff propose to locate this park on other subdivision lands within the neighbourhood. Accordingly, Community Services Department has recommended cash-in- lieu of the parkland dedication. This requirement has been included as one of the Town 's conditions of draft approval (see * Attachment No. 3) . . . ,6 I REPORT NO. : PD-92-85 Page 6 The Region of Durham Works Department has indicated that full municipal services will be available to the subject subdivision, but that the development of Lots 38 to 42 inclusive may have to be delayed due to servicing constraints. Staff have therefore included in the Town 's conditions of draft approval , a clause which stipulates that Lots 38 through 42 not be permitted to develop until such time as full municipal services are available to the lots. A number of external agencies have identified issues that will require attention prior to the subject subdivision proposal being given final approval . The Ministry of Natural Resources and the Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority have both expressed a concern with the proximity of the subject subdivision to Foster Creek. Both agencies have recommended that appropriate wording be included in the subdivision agreement to mitigate the effects of development on the creek and the associated valley lands. Staff have also included in the Town 's conditions of draft approval , clauses stating that the requirements of the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Conservation Authority be satisfied prior to final approval of the plan. The Public School Board has requested that adequate sidewalks and/or pedestrian walkways along major or busy thoroughfares be provided for students living in the subject subdivision. Staff note that sidewalks will be constructed within the subdivision itself and will be provided for in the Town 's subdivision agreement. As well , the Town Public Works Department stated, in its comments on the subdivision proposal , that the developer will be required to make a financial contribution towards the construction of a sidewalk along the south side of Highway No. 2 connecting the proposed walkway between Lots 31 and 32 to the i downtown. This latter requirement has been included as one of the Town 's conditions of draft approval . REPORT NO. : PD-92-85 Page 7 Block D of the subdivision is proposed to serve as a walkway connecting sidewalks in the subdivision to those to be constructed along Highway No. 2. Staff note that the remaining requirements as identified by the Public Works Department are standard requirements and will be addressed through the subdivision agreement with the developer. Based on the comments received, Staff have no objection to the approval of the proposed plan of subdivision as revised, and subject to the specified conditions. It is therefore recommended that Council advise the Region of Durham that the Town of Newcastle has no objections to the approval of draft plan of subdivision 18T-84011 , subject to the revisions * made in red and attached hereto as Attachment No. 2, and subject to * the conditions outlined in Attachment No.3 hereto. It is also recommended that a copy of this report and Council 's decision be forwarded to the Region of Durham for their information. Respectf tted, T.T. Edwards, M.C.I.P.
