BACKGROUND: On November 21, 1985, the Planning Department received an application submitted by Mr. Henry Eikens to rezone a parcel of land located in Part of Lot 9, Concession 2, former * Town of Bowmanville (see attached) . The submission of the rezoning application was to permit the severance of a 3,000 square metre lot supporting a single family dwelling unit. Within the Regional Official Plan and the Bowmanville Urban Area Official Plan the subject property is designated "Residential " . Staff would note that within each document, residential dwellings are to be the predominant use permitted on lands so designated. Staff will expand upon the provisions and requirements of each respective document further within said report. . . .2 REPORT NO. : PD-57-86 Page 2 It is noted for the Committee' s information that, pursuant to the resolution of Council of July 26, 1982 and the requirements of the Planning Act, the appropriate signage acknowledging the application was installed on the subject lands. Staff would note that, as a result of the filing of the application and the posting of the public signs, to date, no objections/ concerns to the proposal have been received from the general public. In accordance with departmental procedures, the application was circulated to obtain comments from other departments and agencies as noted in Staff Report PD-181-85. The following would summarize the comments as received by Staff. Town of Newcastle Works Department "We have reviewed the above noted application for rezoning and find we have no objection to this proposal provided the applicant dedicates to the Town the road widening as shown on the attached." Town of Newcastle Building Department "No objections." Town of Newcastle Fire Department "The Fire Department has no objection to the above-headed application. Response would be from Station #1 , Bowmanville. Water supply is municipal water main and hydrant system." Ministry of Agriculture and Food "Staff of the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food have reviewed the above development proposal . Consideration has been given to the proposal in terms of the goals and objectives of the Ministry and of the criteria and policies outlined in the Food Land Guidelines. Based on our present knowledge, the Ministry has no objections to the proposal as the lands are designated for urban residential uses." . . .3 REPORT NO. : PD-57-86 Page 3 Durham Regional Health Unit "The above application for rezoning has been investigated by this Health Department, and insofar as health matters are concerned, there are no objections to its approval . I would, however, stress that this letter is not to be taken as a permit to install a private sewage disposal system at the site involved. The required permit will be issued only after a proper inspection of the land area involved has been made and said inspection will be carried out upon receipt of a formal application." (A) Region of Durham Planning Department "In response to your request for comments, we note that the subject site is designated "Residential " in both the Durham Regional Official Plan and the Official Plan for the Bowmanville Urban Area. The proposed residential use may be permitted within this designation. We note however, that sanitary sewer service is not currently available to the property and therefore, the proposed residential development may only proceed in accordance with the following provisions of Section 8.1.3.1 of the Durham Regional Official Plan. . . . .as an exception, prior to the availability of sanitary sewers and/or municipal water supply, development in these (Residential ) areas may be permitted as infilling on existing lots of record or on lots created by consent in accordance with Section 16.9 provided that: a) The private waste disposal system complies with the standards of the Ministry of the Environment as amended and as administered by the Medical Officer of Health; b) c) The development is in accordance with any relevant provisions which may have been incorporated in the respective district plan and/or zoning by-laws; and d) Such other conditions as Council deems necessary have been met. With respect to any lots created by consent in accordance with the above, satisfactory arrangements shall be made with the Region with respect to the provision of future services including the payment of levies."" (B) Region of Durham Planning Department "Further to our letter dated December 9, 1985, we wish to add the following comments on Regional services: . . .4 REPORT NO. : PD-57-86 Page 4 (B) Region of Durham Planning Department (Cont'd) Municipal water service is available to the subject property through the abutting 200mm watermain on Mearns Avenue. However, the existing dwelling at 150 Mearns Avenue is not connected to the municipal water supply system. Sanitary sewer services is not currently available to this portion of the Bowmanville Urban Area. In the event that you are recommending approval of this application, we request that the following be included as conditions of approval : 1. That the applicant make arrangements to provide municipal water supply to the existing and proposed dwellings; 2. That the applicant commute all outstanding local improvement charges or frontage charges, if any, for the existing watermain abutting the frontage of the property; and 3. That the applicant enter into an agreement with the Region to cover future sanitary sewers and connections and the payment of Regional levies." Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority j "The Authority staff have no objections to the approval of the above rezoning application. Staff requests that the owner be informed that an alteration to a watercourse permit is required prior to any alteration of the minor watercourse, diagonally bisecting the property." STAFF COMMENTS: Staff would note that, in addition to the applicant' s submission of a rezoning application, a further application was submitted to the Land Division Committee for their consideration. On January 6, 1986, the Regional Land Division Committee, at a scheduled meeting, gave due consideration to Mr. Eiken' s request (LD 2/86) to sever a 3,000 square metre lot supporting a dwelling unit. In consideration of the information provided for the Land Division Committee' s review, a motion of the Committee that application LD 2/86 be tabled for a period of six (6) months to allow Mr. Eikens to contact the Town of Newcastle and the Regional Works Department to discuss their conditions requested, was carried unanimously. . . .5 REPORT NO. : PD-57-86 Page 5 The following was provided for the Land Division Committee' s consideration with respect to the application as submitted: CONFORMITY WITH OFFICIAL PLAN The subject lands are designated "Residential " within the Bowmanville Urban Area Official Plan. Residential dwellings shall be the predominant use permitted on lands so designated. Staff would note for the Committee's information that the subject lands front on two (2) Arterial Type 'B' roads, being Concession Street and Mearn's Avenue as so designated in the Bowmanville Urban Area Official Plan and the Durham Regional Official Plan. Within the Bowmanville Urban Area Official Plan, specifically Section 2.9.2 "Policies within Transportation Section" , arterial roads are so noted as to primarily facilitate inter-area or through traffic within the Regional Municipality of Durham and the municipality. Furthermore, in maintaining the traffic carrying function of arterial roads, the provisions of the Durham Regional Official Plan shall apply. Staff would note that the relevant provisions of the Durham Regional Official Plan, being Section 16.9.11, 16.9.2 and 13.2.15 are applicable and due consideration of same, in review of the application as submitted, is warranted. Section 16.9.11 states that generally, the creation of lots fronting on arterial roads shall be discouraged. However, the provisions of Section 13.2.15 shall be used as guidelines. Section 13.2.15 states that the maximum number of private accesses to Type 'B' Arterial roads shall generally be as follows and regard shall be had to the provisions of Section 13.3.3: i a) six (6) access points per side per mile in the rural areas; and b) 250 feet between adjacent access points in urban areas. Staff would note for the Committee's information that Section 13.3.3 as addressed above reaffirms the provisions of Section 13.2. 15 in that they may generally apply to arterial roads shown on Map "B" within the Regional Plan, I . . .6 l�C� REPORT NO. : PD-57-86 Page 6 but if the intent of this Plan is adhered to and following an adequate study to the effect that such provisions are impractical and can not be implemented precisely, the Authority having jurisdicition on such roads may alter the provisions without an amendment to this Plan. Staff would note that the subject property is located within Neighbourhood 1D as designated in the Bowmanville Urban Area Official Plan for which a Neighbourhood Development Plan has yet to be prepared. Staff note that, among other items of concern, the question of access onto arterial roads mentioned in the Regional Plan, Section 13.3.3, would be addressed in the review and preparation of a Neighbourhood Plan . Accordingly, Staff are concerned that the approval of additional entrances, in view of Section 13.3.3 could be considered premature at this time inasmuch as adequate study has not been completed. Section 16.9.12 within the Regional Plan provides for similar consideration that, where having regard for the provision of the Plan, an access to an arterial road is considered necessary and appropriate, such access may be constructed in accordance with the requirements of the authority having jurisdiction. i CONFORMITY WITH ZONING BY-LAW The subject lands are presently within the "Agricultural (A)" zone category within By-law 84-63, being the Town' s Comprehensive Zoning By-law. Staff would note for the Committee' s information that the applicant has recently submitted a rezoning application in consideration of the severance application as filed. COMMENTS: In reviewing the application as submitted, the Town of Newcastle Works Department confirmed the status of Mearns Avenue and Concession Street as Arterial Type 'B' roads. Furthermore, it was noted that within the . . .7 REPORT NO. : PD-57-86 Page 7 Bowmanville Urban Area Official Plan, the intersection of said arterial roads was so noted on Schedule "3" - Transportation Network, as intersection improvements required. Accordingly, Works Department advises that they would have no major objections to the application as submitted noting, however, appropriate road widenings with respect to the intersection improvements would be required to be deeded to the Town of Newcastle free and clear of all encumbrances as indicated on the attached plan (see * attached) . In reviewing the application as submitted, Staff would note that the applicant has indicated that, at this point in time, the proposed purpose/use of the retained lands has not been contemplated. Staff would note that an approval of the application would require the final and binding approval of the zoning application amendment as submitted to the Town of Newcastle. Furthermore, with respect to the provisions of the Official Plans, local and Regional , Staff would respectfully submit, for the Committee' s deliberation, that consideration be given to the dedicating of a 0.3 metre reserve to the Town of Newcastle, free and clear of all encumbrances, fronting the retained lands. At such time that the applicant proposes a use for the retained lands, access to same in consideration of the Official Plan policies could be addressed. The above-noted comments are submitted for the Committee' s consideration with respect to LD 2/86. As previously noted, the Land Division Committee tabled the application at i their meeting of January 6, 1986. Staff would note that Mr. Peter Feddema, on behalf of the applicants, has indicated through correspondence with the Works Department, that Mr. Eikens would be agreeable to the dedication of a 0.3 metre reserve fronting on the retained lands, and furthermore, would be willing to negotiate as to the parcel of land required for the realignments of the Mearns Avenue/Concession Road intersection. Staff would note for the Committee's information that the dedication of a 0.3 metre reserve, along the frontage of the retained lands , would provide in compliance with By-law 84-63 (a 10 metre frontage) , whereby access for agricultural purposes would be provided. . . .8 Ftl(k) REPORT NO. : PD-57-86 Page 8 In consideration of the above-noted comments, the Works Department has indicated that they would have no objections to the reviewing and consideration of proposed alternatives with respect to the road widening needs of the Mearns Avenue and Concession Road intersection. Staff would have no objections to the rezoning application J g pp cation as submitted, noting that the proposed by-law would only permit the severance of a lot supporting a dwelling unit. At such time that the retained lands are contemplated for development, in conjunction with adjacent lands within Neighbourhood 1D, the concerns and provisions in the Durham Regional and Bowmanville Urban Area Official Plans may be addressed.
