C. SKERRATT FILE: OP 3.5 i RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration Committee recommend to Council the following: 1 . That Report PD-99-83 be received; and 2. That Amendment No. 2 to the Haydon Hamlet * Development Plan attached to this Report , be approved in accordance with Resolution # GPA-393-83. BACKGROUND: On February 8th, 1983, the Town of Newcastle Planning Department received an application from Mr. C. Skerratt to amend the Haydon Hamlet Development Plan to permit the creation of additional building lots on Mr. Skerratt's property on the west side of Maple Street. ' v. a(C) Report No: PD-99-83 .. ./2 Mr. Skerratt owns 9.1 hectares (22.5 acres) of land, most of which lies outside the boundaries of Haydon, including that portion which fronts on Maple Street. Maple Street is only maintained by the Town of Newcastle for a distance of approximately 120 metres (395 feet) past the Hamlet limits on the west side of Maple Street. Therefore, staff determined that the boundaries of the Hamlet would need to be extended in order to create additional building lots , but could only be extended to the end of the maintained portion of Maple Street. The Haydon Hamlet Development Plan currently establishes a i minimum lot area of 0.5 hectares (1 .23 acres) for new lots. This lot area was established because of the presence of a seasonally high water table in portions of the Hamlet and soils with poor to fair permeability and percolative capacity. However, the area subject to the amendment application is much higher than the rest of the Hamlet, and therefore may possess better drainage characteristics. Staff determined it may be possible for new lots on this high land to be smaller than the minimum size currently prescribed by the Hamlet Development Plan. Accordingly, staff drafted an amendment to the Haydon Hamlet Development Plan which would permit a reduction in the minimum lot area requirement, where warranted, and would expand the limits of the Hamlet area to permit minor residential expansion on the subject property. A copy of the proposed amendment is attached to this Report for Council 's consideration. The standard circulation of the proposed amendment produced no major objections. i i i i 111 � �1a1 i Report No: PD-99-83 .. ./3 On May 2nd, 1983, the General Purpose and Administration Committee considered Staff Report PD-70-83. The Report recommended that the proposed amendment to the Hamlet Plan be forwarded to Council for approval at such time as the Council of the Regional Municipality of Durham has considered the amendment, and that Mr. Skerratt be required to immediately erect an information sign advising of the amendment application on the subject property. The Committee endorsed the Report 's recommendation with Resolution # GPA-393-83. COMMENTS: In a letter dated May 3rd, 1983, the Town of Newcastle was advised that Regional Council considered the amendment to the Haydon Hamlet Development Plan on April 27th, 1983, and had no comment. Therefore, staff are now recommending that Amendment No. 2 to the Haydon Hamlet Development Plan be now forwarded to Council for approval in accordance with the prior Resolution. Staff note that the subject property is currently zoned "A-Agricultural " by By-law 2111 of the former Township of Darlington. Therefore, the property will require a rezoning prior to any severance applications being considered. Respectfully submitted, T. T. Edwards, M.C.I.P.
