THAT Report PD-290-86 be received; and 2. THAT a copy of Report PD-290-86 be forwarded to the Region of Durham; and 3. THAT the application filed by Mr. Peter Feddema, on behalf of Milinel Investments Limited, to change the existing Bowmanville Urban Area Plan designation from "Medium Density Residential " to "Low Density Residential " (OPA 86-67/NB) be approved; and 4. THAT the rezoning application filed by Mr. Peter Feddema, on behalf of Milinel Investments Limited, to rezone a parcel of land from "Holding - Urban Residential Type Four (H) (R4)" zone and "Holding - Urban Residential Type Two ( (H)R2)" zone to "Holding - Urban Residential Type One ( (H)R1)" zone be approved and forwarded to Council for final approval after the Official Plan Amendment has been finalized. . . .2 REPORT NO.: PD-290-86 Page 2 BACKGROUND AND COMMENT: On September 30, 1986, the Planning Department received notice that there had been application made for amendment to the Bowmanville Urban Area Plan. The week previous to that (September 23, 1986), the same applicant filed a rezoning application with the Town's Planning Department. On October 8th, 1986, the Planning Department received a circulation from the Region for a proposed Plan of Subdivision. These applications were circulated in accordance with departmental procedures, to obtain comments from other departments and agencies. Staff would note for the Committee' s information that, pursuant to Council 's resolution of July 26, 1982 and the requirements of the Planning Act, the appropriate signage acknowledgiang the applications was installed on the subject lands. At this time, Staff are reviewing the previous draft conditions for Subdivision approval and awaiting written comments from some agencies/ departments prior to the conditions being finalized. These conditions will be presented in a future report to the Committee. The following agencies had no objections to the Official Plan Amendment or the Zoning By-law Amendment: 1. Newcastle Building Department 2. Northumberland and Newcastle Board of Education 3. Regional Health Services Department 4. Ministry of Agriculture and Food 5. Ministry of Natural Resources 6. Ministry of Transportation and Communications 7. Ontario Hydro There are some comments which have been received verbally and no objections were raised. There will be some conditions of approval , but these will be directed to the Subdivision proposal , not the proposed change in density (i .e. Canadian Pacific Railway and Regional Works Department) . . . .3 OW REPORT NO. : PD-290-86 Page 3 The Community Services Department of the Town did not have any objections to the density change, but did have certain conditions of approval . These conditions will be addressed through the draft subdivision conditions. The Newcastle Fire Department had no objections and noted that: "Emergency fire protection is from Station #1, which is within the recognized five mile response limit. Water supply for fire-fighting is through the Regional water system with fire hydrants. Adequate access to the site is gained by three routes, which would meet Fire Department requirements." The Peterborough-Victoria-Northumberland and Newcastle Roman Catholic Separate School Board has no objections to the proposal for a change in density. The letter from the School Board is directed at the negotiations which are currently taking place between the Owner of the land and the School Board regarding additional property which is to be conveyed to the Board. These comments are directed at the proposed Plan of Subdivision and will be addressed at that time. The Planning Department will recommend that the Community Services Department enter into discussions with the School Board regarding joint use of the park block. In 1982, there was inadequate sewer capacity to complete the development as proposed. This proposal was for fifty-three (53) single family lots, fifty-nine (59) semi-detached lots, a 3.1 acre apartment block, a 1.07 acre block for school purposes and a 9.0 acre park block. The proposal which we are examining at present is for a total of One Hundred and Fifty-five (155) single family lots. This has reduced the proposed density and has revised the design of the subdivision . There is still a park block and a school block. Staff has reviewed the proposal in light of the previous application and has taken into consideration the development which now surrounds the site. The . . .4 _V REPORT NO.: PD-290-86 Page 4 area is exclusively "Low Density". The establishment of a "High Density" use in this area was intended to accommodate a Senior' s Citizen Apartment proposal which has since been abandoned. The current design provides a park block adjacent to the school and backing onto single family lots seems to be more aesthetically pleasing in this setting. Sufficient opportunity and designations remain within the Bowmanville Official Plan to provide, for high density development in, as yet, undeveloped areas. Also, the contours of the site provide for excellent vistas overlooking the area to the south and southeast. The creation of an apartment tower on the south portion of the site would interfere with such views. The proposed lots are designed so as to permit such views to be incorporated into the design of the homes. It is appropriate to provide proper buffering between low and high density residential uses. The plan which proposed the apartment block had provided for various uses which seemed to provide some level of screening between the uses. That proposal had singles, semi-detached, and the apartment block, as well as a slightly larger park block. That concept may have been appropriate at that time, but it seems that the current proposal for single family lots is more in keeping with the character of the neighbourhood as it has developed. Staff would note for the Committee' s information, that the applicant has submitted a Draft Plan of Subdivision to the Region of Durham and Staff is in the process of reviewing this application. Draft conditions of approval were prepared in 1981 and the various agencies/departments have been requested to update their requirements. There is also a rezoning application being processed. This application was to place the lands currently designated "Holding-Urban Residential Type Four ( (H)R4) " and "Holding-Urban Residential Type Two ( (H)R2) " into the Low Density Residential category of "Holding-Urban Residential Type One ( (H)R1)". The circulation for this was done in conjunction with the other two applications. There was no comment received which had objections to the change in zoning. . . .5 kv REPORT NO. : PD-290-86 Page 5 The zoning currently in place recognized the proposed Plan of Subdivision which was being reviewed at that time. . The zoning was put into place when the current by-law was approved (By-law 84-63) . Staff has no objection to the new proposal and therefore supports the change in zoning to recognize the changes. Staff's recommendation for approval of the rezoning is conditional upon the Region approving the Official Plan Amendment, as the zoning must conform to the Plan. Once the Official Plan Amendment has been finalized, Staff will * forward the attached by-law to Council for its approval . Respectfully submitted, Recommended for presentation to the Committee T.
