RECOMMENDATION:
It is respectfully recommended that this Report be received
for information and that the draft By-law attached hereto be
approved by Council .
BACKGROUND:
* Report P-4-81 , copy attached, outlines the rezoning
application made by Sylvia and Robert Laycoe in September of
1980. That report, dated December of 1980, recommended that
based on a review of the circumstances surrounding the
rezoning, that a draft By-law be forwarded to Council for
approval at such time as the Region of Durham advised the
Town that a road widening, requested as a condition of
approval , had been received.

Report Flo: PD-172-82 . . ./2
At the Planning and Development Committee meeting of January
5th, 1981 , the recommendation contained in Report P-4-81
was amended to read as follows:
"The attached By-law be forwarded to Council for approval at
such time as the Town has been notified by the Region of
Durham Works Department that their request for road widening
has been satisfied and received."
Rezoning application Z-A-1 -13-4 has, since January 1981 ,
been effectively in "limbo" as the Town awaited confirmation
from the Region that they had received and are satisfied
with the requested road widening. It is difficult at this
stage for Town planning staff to explain the nature of the
delay except that it appears that the applicants ' lawyers
and the lawyers working on behalf of the Region have had
difficulty finalizing the transfer of the requested road
widening. Planning staff have, on a number of occasions,
contacted the Regional Works Department in an effort to
expedite the processing of the zoning application. However,
staff have only recently been advised that the Region was
satisfied. It is therefore now recommended that the draft
( By-law attached hereto be approved pursuant to Resolution
PD-8-81 as amended by PD-9-81 (copies attached).
