OF CLARKE (ORONO) OUR FILE: DEV 86-55 RECOMMENDATIONS: It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration Committee recommend to Council the following: 1. THAT Report PD-278-86 be received; and 2. THAT the application submitted by Mr. Aleck Moffat to rezone a parcel of land located in Part of Lot 27, Concession 4, former Township of Clarke (Orono), to permit the development of ten (10) residential 1 of s on private services, be approved and forwarded to Council for approval at such time as the applicant has satisfied the Town that all lots will conform to the frontage and area requirements of the "Residential Hamlet (RH)" zone of By-law 84-63, as amended. BACKGROUND AND COMMENT: On September 23, 1986 the Planning Department received an application from Mr. Aleck Moffat to rezone a parcel of land to permit the development of an additional nine (9) residential lots. 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 acknowledging the application was installed on the subject lands, and . . .2 (0) REPORT NO.: PD-278-86 Page 2 surrounding property owners were advised of the proposal . Staff has also conducted a circulation to verify the comments which were received from a circulation for the Subdivision approval . At the time of the writing of this report, no objections had been received. This proposal has been recommended for draft approval by Council at its meeting of Tuesday, October 14, 1986. This was an approval for a ten (10) lot subdivision to be located immediately east of Highway 35/115. This parcel of land was severed from the remainder of the applicant's land when the new exit ramp to connect the highway to Somerville Drive was connected. This site is located in the Hamlet of Orono, as designated by the Durham Regional Official Plan. Durham Regional Planning Staff advised that this development could not be considered as a minor extension to the Hamlet and that a Development Plan is required prior to evaluation of the proposal . Town Planning Staff are currently working on a draft development plan for the Hamlet of Orono, but note that the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing has deferred approval of the majority of the Town's Official Plan, including that section dealing with Hamlets. The proposed development constitutes a minor extension to the Hamlet and would impact very little on the development potential of the remainder of Orono inasmuch as athe subdivision is to develop on private wells and therefore, would not be dependent upon capacity being available in the municipal water system. In Staff's opinion, the preparation of a Hamlet Development Plan as a prerequisite for development of the proposed subdivision is not a reasonable requirement and would impose unwarranted delays on development. The Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority had no objection to the proposal provided that the "Environmental Protection (EP)" zone was retained on the northwest corner of the property. The rezoning which is proposed will not encroach upon the existing "Environmental Protection (EP)" zone. The remaining area is to be changed from "Agricultural (A-1)" to "Residential Hamlet (RH)". . . .3 �(e) REPORT NO. : PD-278-86 Page 3 The Newcastle Community Services Department had no objections and noted that cash-in-lieu of 5% parkland dedication will be required. The Fire Department had the following comment: "This Department has no objection to the above-headed application. Emergency fire response would be from Station #3, which is within the recognized five mile limit to a fire station. Water supply for firefighting is with fire department tanker trucks. Consideration should be given to Planning Department Report 40-84, Fire Protection for Rural Areas." There were a number of requirements which are to be met to satisfy the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Ministry of the Environment; each of these are conditions attached to the Subdivision approval and will be dealt with at that level . The Town of Newcastle's Public Works Department has no objections in principle to the proposal . There is a 3 metre road widening requested along a portion of the south side of Somerville Drive and a 5 metre by 5 metre sight triangle at the western corner of the cul-de-sac and Somerville Drive. Both of these will be deeded to the Town free and clear of all encumbrances. The applicant was also informed that the cul-de-sac is to be curved, not straight with a corner. The Ontario Land Surveyor is noting the changes on the plan. The Ministry of Transportation and Communications had the following comment on the Subdivision: "Access to the subject lands will be restricted to Somerville Drive with no direct access to the Provincial Highway. Permits will be required for all buildings located within 1300 feet from the midpoint of intersecting roads where our highways are concerned. In the event noise attenuation measures are required by the Ministry of Environment, we will require such features be placed outside of our highway property limits." . . .4 REPORT NO. : PD-278-86 Page 4 The following agencies indicated no objection to the proposed subdivision: 1. Town of Newcastle Building Department 2. Northumberland and Newcastle Board of Education 3. Peterborough-Victoria-Northumberland and Newcastle Roman Catholic Separate School Board Staff has one concern which has not yet been fully satisfied. After the road widening and the other changes are made to the Plan , Staff wishes to see confirmation that the lot areas and frontages will conform to the requirements of the "Residential Hamlet (RH)" zone. The surveyor is completing the calculations although they will not be completed in time to be included in this report. Staff is assured that the requirements can be met with only minor changes to the lot lines. Once this concern has been alleviated, Staff will have no objections to the proposal . Staff, in consideration of the above-noted comments, and the status of the subdivision, would have no objection to the approval of the application and * by-law amendment attached hereto, provided the Ontario Land Surveyor confirms that the lot frontages and areas conform to the Zoning By-law requirements.
