That a copy of said plan be forwarded to the Regional Municipality of Durham for their information. i I BACKGROUND: In November of 1982, an application for subdivision approval was submitted by Dr. R. Zakarow in respect of a 21 .11 hectare parcel of land in Part of Lots 11 and 12, Concession 2, former Town of Bowmanville. The proposed subdivision would result in the creation of a total of 255 single family, semi -detached and apartment residential units, with a population of approximately 765 persons. Also included within the draft plan, is a 1 .47 hectare commercial site, a 1 .7 hectare school site, 1 .59 hectares of park and walkway, and 0.3 hectares of land for future development. Full municipal services are proposed for the development and would be required pursuant to the provisions of the Official Plan for the Bowmanville Urban Area. The present use of the lands in question are agricultural , and the site is designated residential in both the Durham Regional Official Plan and the Official Plan for the Bowmanville Major Urban Area. The lands are zoned "D-Development" and "A-Agricultural " by Restricted Area (Zoning) By-law 1587, as amended. In accordance with Departmental procedures , the subdivision proposal was circulated, and the following represents a summary of the comments received. i I Report No: PO-73-83 .. ./3 Newcastle Public Works Department "Upon reviewing the above-mentioned application for subdivision, our comments are as follows : a) the intersection of Street "E", future Jackman Road and Liberty Street (Regional Road 14) , should be revised to the location shown on the attached, which utilizes an existing right-of-way and accommodates the future alignment and extension of Jackman Road, east of Liberty Street. The alignment location should be verified by the developer. b) since Street "E" is designated as a major collector, the right-of-way should be revised to 26 metres. c) the intersection of Street "E" and Street "B" requires j site triangles of 9 metres by 6 metres, as shown on the attached. d) the developer should be requested to construct Street "G" southerly to the north limit of High Street (125 metres approximately) at his expense, otherwise Street "G" should i be terminated with a cul-de-sac as per standard NS 218. e) Streets "A", "D" and "E" should be terminated, using temporary turning circles as per standard NS 220, for a possible future extension. f) Streets "C" and "E" (intersections with Liberty Street) should be designed in accordance with Region of Durham standards." Newcastle Fire Department "The proposed subdivision is located within the former Town of Bowmanville, an acceptable distance in response time for fire emergency services out of Station #1 , Bowmanville. Water supply for fire protection would be in accordance with Durham Region Municipal Piped Water System for fire protection. Minimum 2,250 L/M 170 Kpa residual pressure. Fire hydrants to be located within 90 M of buildings to be protected. Turn-around facilities in access of 300 feet for dead end access routes. Cul -de-sac required 12 M centre line radius." Newcastle Community Services Department "I concur with the plan to have a school and park site side by side. Only question, is there any fencing involved around the park and school boundaries?" I' Report No: PD-73-83 .. ./4 Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority "In order to permit the processing of the subject plan of subdivision, we are prepared to endorse its draft approval , although we are concerned that the present proposal has apparently not evolved with storm run-off controls in mind. Based on the foregoing, the following conditions of draft approval should be applied on our behalf. 1 . Prior to commencement of site preparation, the owner shall submit to the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority for its approval , details of implementing sediment control for all phases of development activity. 2. Prior to final approval of the plan, the owner shall submit engineering evidence as may be required to satisfy the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority that the rate of post-development run-off into the receiving water corridor shall not exceed the rate of pre-development run-off for storms of five-year frequency and greater. 3. The owner shall agree in the subdivision agreement to carry out those matters referred to in Conditions 1 and 2 above to the satisfaction of the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority. A note should be added to the conditions of draft approval , which informs the owner that upon such approval being granted, the Authority should be contacted to determine our requirements for the fulfillment of Condition 2 above, and which also indicates that changes to the draft approved plan may be essential in order to implement satisfactory controls on storm run-off." Northumberland and Newcastle Board of Education "I have been directed to advise you that no objection is raised to the proposal , but that a site for school purposes would be required within the boundaries of the proposal ." Letters indicating that there were no objections were received from Bell Canada, Consumers Gas, Ministry of Natural Resources and the Newcastle Hydro Electric Commission. Report No: PD-73-83 .../5 COMMENTS: In March of 1979, Marshall , Macklin, Monaghan prepared a pre-engineering report for the North-West Bowmanville Development Area. This report attempted to demonstrate the various sanitary sewer and water supply options available, including major Regional capital work projects. The report suggested that a form of interim servicing could occur on a small portion of the subject area. The Region 's initial response to the report, and the interim servicing option, was that the Region's capital budget has provided for construction and extensive sanitary and water trunk lines in Bowmanville, the completion of which would open up approximately 162 hectares for residential development east of Liberty Street between Highway 2 and the i C.P.R. tracks. In view of the above, the Region have delayed a number of capital works projects which are required to develop the area west of Liberty Street and north of the C.P.R. tracks, therefore no major development was recommended for this area until such time as required works are re-introduced into the budget. Although the subject area is one of the future residential areas in Bowmanville which is presently capable of being serviced, utilizing existing trunk facilities, the Region had recommended in the past that no major subdivision development be allowed until existing storm sewer cross-connections on Liberty Street are disconnected. This was done through the reconstruction of Liberty Street in 1981 . I I I Report No: PD-73-83 . . ./6 With respect to water supply in the area, a new pressure zone is needed, requiring a reservoir, a pumping station and the necessary feedermains to serve that area north of the C.P.R. tracks. At present, this area is serviced from Pressure Zone 1 with existing pressure below minimum standards. Until a capital works project occurs relieving the present system of its burden, new development was not recommended. In July of 1982 the Rgion re-iterated its views , calling development for the subject area premature. None of the major improvements to the systems required to permit development are slated for construction in the next four years. The developer would have to construct works at his own expense if he wishes to proceed prior to Regional plans. In view of the above, it would seem that the proposed plan of subdivision is premature, due to servicing constraints. However, if the developer was prepared to construct the needed services, at his own expense, the potential for draft plan approval would be improved. As of the date of writing, Regional staff have confirmed that their position remains unchanged. They have indicated, however, that recent discussions have been held with the applicant and his consultant, and that they are awaiting the submission of revised servicing proposals with respect to the provision of water service to the lands. In that regard, in accordance with the Region 's servicing plan, the construction of feedermains on the west side of Bowmanville would be required, as would be the construction of a pumping station i and other appurtenant works. A portion of these works is scheduled for construction in the current year, concurrent with the reconstruction of Scugog Street. However, the major work required, being construction of the pumping station and the necessary connecting feedermains, have not been scheduled and are not presently contained in the Regional capital forecast. aCb� Report No: PD-73-83 .. ./7 The subject lands are located within Neighbourhoods 2A and 2B of the Bowmanville Major Urban Area. In that regard, staff would note that Section 2.1 .1 , Subsection 3(a) provides that neighbourhood development plans may be prepared for residential neighbourhoods identified on Schedule 1 to the Official Plan and Subsection (b) further provides that in determining whether the preparation of a neighbourhood development plan should be considered as pre-requisite for development approvals, that Council consider, among other things, the pattern of land ownership, the density of development proposed, environmental sensitivity of the lands, the land use and transportation patterns in surrounding neighbourhoods and the availability and adequacy of existing services. In that regard, the applicant's consultants were requested to submit an overall plan for this neighbourhood to indicate the relationship of this plan to surrounding lands and the approved land use and transportation patterns within this and surrounding neighbourhoods. A copy of the proposed neighbourhood land use structure plan will be displayed at the Committee meeting. Staff note that the plan, as submitted, does not respect the approved transportation pattern contained within the Official Plan for the Bowmanville Major Urban Area. In that regard, a revision to the alignment and street pattern of the southernmost east-west collector road is required in order to bring it into conformity with the Official Plan. The required revisions are also identified on a copy of the proposed land use structure plan to be displayed at the meeting. These revisions reflect the comments provided by the Town 's Public Works Department, as well as the policy of the approved Official Plan. i I Report No: PD-73-83 . . ./8 Similarly, in reviewing the proposed plan of subdivision, staff identified a number of design problems which require modification related to the changes to the neighbourhood development plan. Of primary concern is the intersection of Street "E", future Jackman Road, and Liberty Street, which * should be revised to the location shown on Attachment 2. This change to the draft plan allows the proper alignment of the future Jackman Road with an existing right-of-way on the east side of Liberty Street, thus allowing a four-way intersection with Liberty and this future major collector road. In addition, the right-of-way for this road should be increased to 26 metres to allow for its future development as a major collector. Staff would therefore have no objection to the proposed plan, subject to the necessary revisions to accomodate the re-alignment of this street. We would also note, that in order to complete the road pattern for this neighbourhood and provide a connection to the existing residential area to the south and provide access to school facilities, it is recommended that the necessary lands be acquired by the developer and High Street be constructed northerly to the subject subdivision , and that this be a condition of final approval . Generally speaking, staff concur with the concerns of the Region of Durham with respect to servicing and that approval would be premature pending resolution of services. However, staff would have no objection to the approval of this draft * plan, subject to the conditions spelled out in Attachment 1 to this Report. Respe ul itted, r T. T. Edwards, M.C.I.P. Director of Planning i jc Applicant : Dr. P. Zakarow 19 29, 1983 172 King Street E. OSHAWA, Ont. L1H 1B7 TOWN CONDITIONS OF DRAFT PLAN APPROVAL 18T-82037 1 . That this approval shall apply to a draft plan of subdivision dated November 11th, 1982, which shall be further revised to show a re-alignment of the intersection of Street "E" with Liberty Street, and the requisite adjustments to lot lines and other road patterns and further revised to provide 0.3 metre reserves across the westerly terminus of Streets "A", "D" and "E" , and the northerly terminus of Street "B", and to provide for temporary turning circles at the terminus of each of these streets abutting the lands to the west and north, as may be applicable. 2. That five copies of the revised plan of subdivision be forwarded to the Town within thirty (30) days of receiving draft plan approval . 3. That the road allowances included in this draft plan be dedicated as public highways. 4. That the streets in this plan be named to the satisfaction of the Town of Newcastle. 5. That all one-foot reserves and road widenings shown on the revised plan be dedicated free and clear of all encumbrances to the appropriate authority having jurisdiction over the abutting road. 6. That the necessary amendments to By-law 1587, as amended, of the former Town of Bowmanville, now in the Town of Newcatle, be approved and in effect. 7. That the owner agrees in writing to satisfy all requirements, financial and otherwise, of the Regional Municipality of Durham with respect to the provision of roads and municipal water and sewage supply. 8. That the owner enter into a subdivision agreement with the Town of Newcastle to include, in addition to the Town's usual requirements, the following provisions : a) to design and construct all works in accordance with the Town of Newcastle Design Criteria; I, b) to satisfy the requirements of the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority relative to development of the subject lands ; c) to undertake, at no cost to the Town, the extension and construction of Street "G" southerly to High Street and that this j extension be dedicated as a public highway; d) that Block 189, being a 1 .56 ha park block, be accepted as the 5% parkland dedication pursuant to the Planning Act and that the over-dedication of 0.5 ha be applied as a credit in respect of the dedication required for the development of the other adjacent lands owned by the applicant. i i
