OF DARLINGTON RECOMMENDATIONS: It is respectfully recommended to Council the following: 1. THAT this r-epor•t be r-eceived for- information. BACKGROUND AND COMMENT: On May 7 and 14, 1986, Staff received copies of petitions circulated by W. Michael Majeste in respect of two (2) townhouse blocks within draft approved Plan of Subdivision 18T-77001 . These petitions were placed on the agenda for- Council 's consideration with W. Majeste scheduled to be a delegation in respect of this matter. Staff met with My-. Majeste and W. Di Rienzo in or-der- to ascertain the exact nature of their- request and it is Staff' s understanding, based upon those discussions and the petitions r-eceived, that a number- of r-esi dents within the fi r-st two phases of the Holland and Schleiss subdivision ar-e opposed to the development of two (2) parcels of land presently designated for- Medium Density townhouse development. The basis for- their- objection being that, in their- opinion, pr-oper•ty values will be affected and that the location of the proposed townhouse blocks r•epr•esents poor-2 REPORT NO.: PD-139-86 Page 2 planning and will create a traffic hazard and a school over-cr-owding situation. Staff note that the particular- Plan of Subdivision received draft plan approval from the Ministry of Housing on January 28, 1981 . Said approval included two (2) parcels of land designated for- development of a total of thirty-three (33) townhouse units. Inclusion of medium density housing, within this Plan of Subdivision, was consistent with the policies of the Official Plan in respect of providing a mix of housing types and with the intent of the OHAP Agreements entered into with the Province of Ontario for, services in the Cour•tice area. The location of the medium density blocks is consistent with the approved Neighbourhood Development Plans and ar-e consistent with the principles of good planning. The location and density were consider-ed at the time of draft plan approval and Staff at-e of the opinion that they will not create a traffic hazard nor- will they result in over-cr-owding of the public schools inasmuch as the School Board was requested to comment on this draft plan and was satisfied that the population proposed could be accommodated within existing and proposed schools of the Cour•tice area. With respect to the issue of pr•oper-ty values, we ar-e not in a position to comment inasmuch as a pr-oper•ty appr-ai sal has not been submitted in support of this opinion. Staff have also met with the developer-, My-. Walter- Schleiss, who was made aware of the resident opposition to townhouses being developed on these two (2) parcels of land. My-. Schleiss has indicated that while he has had some interest in constructing townhouses similar- to those illustrated * on Attachment No. 2 to this r•epor•t, he is willing to consider- a change in the plan to permit the development of 12 metre single family lots provided the change does not result in any undue delay in the development of this Plan. Staff note that all necessary approvals ar-e in place for Mr•. Schleiss to proceed with development of these blocks for- townhouses . . .3 REPORT NO. : PD-139-86 Page 3 once the Third Phase of the Plan is r•egister•ed. We note, they•efor-e, that there is no further- oppor-tuni ty for- a public appeal of this particular, type of development and consideration of the residents request would r-equir-e that the Council of the Town of Newcastle pass a resolution requesting an amendment to the draft approved Plan of Subdivision. If Council wishes to give favourable consideration to this * request, we suggest that the resolutions included in Attachment No. 3 be approved. Staff note however, that we do not support such a change and that it is our- opinion that deletion of medium density housing opportunities would be contr-ar•y to good planning and inconsistent with the intent of the Town of Newcastle Official Plan. j Respectf bmitted, T.T.
