1.2 The application was referred back to Staff in order to allow the applicant to
discuss concerns with Ministry of Agriculture and Food and to allow Staff to
review the comments from Regional Works Department with respect to access.
In addition, Staff had received revised site plans, circulated same, and
received outstanding comments from the agencies.
2. DETAILS OF PROPOSAL:
2.1 Staff have reviewed the revised site plan and have noted that the
development of the proposal will take place in phases. Phase One will be
the construction of a 465 square metre building with a seating capacity of
208. In addition, the preliminary site plan would indicate five classrooms,
a nursery/preschool, office facilities, kitchenette and washroom facilities.
The second phase, to be constructed at a later date, would include gymnasium
and the necessary parking facilities.
i
3. COMMENTS:
3.1 As noted earlier, a revised site plan was circulated to obtain any
additional comments from outside agencies.
3.2 The Regional Health Department offered no objection, however requested that
the area for a private sewage disposal system be increased to accommodate
the development.
3.3 The Regional Works Department requests a 22 foot road widening on the total
Bloor Street frontage of the subject lands in addition to a sufficient road
I
widening on the total Courtice Road frontage of the subject land so as to
provide a street line being 60 feet from the centre line of the existing
Courtice Road right-of-way. The Regional Works Department also requested
the closure of the existing Bloor Street access.

3.4 As noted in PD-107-88, the Ministry of Agriculture and Food did not
recommend approval of this proposal, based on the provisions of the
Foodland Guidelines stating that institutional uses should be directed away
from good agricultural land noting that the site is level Class 1 farmland.
Staff would note that the Ministry has not changed their position since the
revised plan has been circulated.
4. STAFF COMMENTS:
4.1 Staff have reviewed the application and have noted that Section 6.2.6 in the
Durham Regional Plan pertaining to General Agricultural designation, allows
the local Council to recognize in the restricted area zoning by-law, police
stations, public parks and cultural facilities such as cultural centres,
libraries, museums and places of worship in any area having first been
satisfied that the proposed facility is compatible with its surroundings.
This section further notes that such a facility should not restrict or
conflict with predominant permitted land uses. Staff would note that a
church is located directly to the east of the subject property, to the south
and west are existing residents and to the north is a livestock operation.
i
4.2 Given the above noted comments, Staff would offer no objection to the
approval of zoning by-law amendment and is of the opinion that the intent
of the Official Plan has been adhered to notwithstanding the objection of
the Ministry of Agriculture and Food.
