REPORT NO. : PD-121-83 SUBJECT: PROPOSED PLAN OF SUBDIVISION - DR. A. E. KING PART OF LOT 33, CONCESSION 2, FORMER TOWNSHIP OF DARLINGTON OUR FILE: 18T-83006 RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration Committee recommend to Council the following : 1 . That Report PD-121-83-83 be received; and 2. That the Region of Durham be advised that the Town of Newcastle recommends aproval of Plan 18T-83006, as revised in red and attached to this Report as Attachment 1 and subject to the conditions contained in Attachment 2 to this Report ; and j 3. That a copy of Report PD-121-83 be forwarded to i the Region of Durham for information. i a�fi REPORT NO. : PD-121-83 Page 2 BACKGROUND: On April 11, 1983, Dr. A. E. King submitted an application to the Region of Durham for approval of a plan of subdivision for the development of a 5.45 hectare (13.5 acre) parcel of land located in Part of Lot 33, Concession 2, within the Courtice Urban Area. The proposal consists of the creation of fifty-nine (59) single family residential lots with an anticipated population of one hundred and eighty-eight (188) persons and a 0.40 hectare (1.0 acre) park block. i The subject site is designated "Residential " by both the Region of Durham Official Plan and the Courtice Urban Area Official Plan. Both documents state that the predominant use of lands shall be for residential purposes. In reviewing the proposed Plan of Subdivision inconjunction with the Courtice West Neighbourhood Plan, staff note that the subject plan is generally in conformity with the provisions of the Neighbourhood Plan in terms of the overall design and the anticipated population. However, one aspect staff noted as not being in conformity with the Neighbourhood Plan was the location and the intended dedication of the 0.40 hectare (1.0 acre) park block (Block 60) as shown on the proposed plan of subdivision. The Courtice West Neighbourhood Plan indicates the location of a public open space area which forms part of the Farewell Creek and valley land system, and not the provision for a neighbourhood park as proposed by the Applicant. In that regard, since the Town of Newcastle presently owns the abutting public open space lands, conveyed by Registered i i i REPORT NO. : PD-121-83 Page 3 Plan M-747, it would be appropriate for the Town of Newcastle to request the dedication of Block 60, from the proposed plan of subdivision for additional public open space purposes instead of parkland, and to also request the payment of a five per cent (5%) cash-in-lieu for parkland in accordance with current Town policy. The subject lands are presently zoned "D-Deferred Development" by Zoning By-law 2111, as amended, of the former Township of Darlington. An amendment to the Darlington Zoning By-law would be required in order to initiate the proposed residential development of this site. In accordance with the Town of Newcastle and the Region of Durham's departmental policies, the subject application was circulated to various departments and agencies for comments. The following is a summary of the comments received: Region of Durham Public Works Department "Full municipal services are available to the proposal through the existing 600 mm watermain on Nash Road and the existing farewell Creek Trunk Sewer through the subject plan. Oversizing of internal services does not appear to the required for this proposal , and therefore, no Regional cost sharing will be involved with respect to provision of services to this plan. Based on the foregoing, we have no objection to further processing of this draft plan. The following Regional municipality of Durham Works Department conditions shall be complied with prior to consent by the Works Department for registration of the plan of subdivision and said conditions shall form part of the Subdivision Agreement. I . . .4/ i a REPORT NO. : PD-121-83 Page 4 (a) That the Subdivider pay for those service charges and/or development charge levies which are in effect at the time of registration of any portion of this plan.

(b) That the Subdivider obtain and grant to the Regional Municipality of Durham, all easements required to provide Regional services for this development. The easements shall be in a location and of such width as determined by the Regional Municipality of Durham and are to be granted with the execution of the Subdivision Agreement. (c) That engineering drawings for Regional services and the proposed final plan of subdivision be submitted to, and approved by the Regional Works Department prior to the preparation of the Subdivision Agreement. (d) That satisfactory arrangements be made for the financing of the Region's share of servicing, if any, prior to the release of the final plan for registration.

In addition, the Subdivider is to provide for the extension of sanitary sewer and water supply facilities within the limits of the plan which are required to service other developments external to his subdivision. Such sanitary sewer and water supply facilities to be designed and constructed as per the standards and requirements of the Works Department of the Regional Municipality of Durham; all arrangements, financial and otherwise, for said extensions are to be to the satisfaction of the Regional Municipality of Durham and are to be completed prior to release fo the final plan of registration. i (j ) That prior to entering into a subdivision agreement, the Regional Municipality of Durham is to be satisfied that an adequate water pollution control plant and water supply plant capacity is available to service the subject development." . ..6/ I i REPORT NO. : PD-121-83 Page 6 The Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority "The site of this proposed plan of subdivision has been reviewed. We are referring to the plan dated March 29, 1983, which proposes fifty-nine (59) lots and a 0.40 hectare open space block. The subject lands are generally suitable for the development as indicated on the submitted draft plan. Slopes are relatively gentle and all lot areas are sufficiently removed from the regional storm floodplain. In addition to the need to address the effects of increasing the rates of storm runoff emanating from the site, and sedimentation control , we are concerned that a portion of the Farewell Creek valley has been proposed as coverage within lots 51 to 53. This is the area to the east of the "fill and construction limits" as portrayed on the draft plan. The noted valley section should be added to those lands to be retained by the applicant, since these areas are generally not suitable for residentially associated uses. Based on the preceeding, we have no objection to the draft approval of the referenced plan, subject to the following conditions : 1. The plan shall be amended by adding those lands to the east of the line drawn in red on the attached copy of those lands to be retained by the Applicant. 2. 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. ...7/ i I REPORT NO. : PD-121-83 Page 7 3. 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 runoff into the receiving water course shall not exceed the rate of pre-development runoff for storms of five (5) year frequency and greater, in accordance with the recommendations of the Courtice Storm Water Management Study. 4. The Owner shall agree in the Subdivision Agreement to carry out those matters referred to in Conditions 1, 2 and 3 above to the satisfaction of the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority." The Peterborough - Vitoria - Northumberland and Newcastle Separate School Board "Please be informed that the Board has included a proposed site in Courtice on its 1983-1987 Captial Expenditure Forecast." Ontario Hydro "We have circulated the plan of subdivision concerning the above-noted property to the interested divisions of the Corporation. The easements rights retained by Ontario Hydro in the sale of land on the South limit of Nash Road have been released for the most part. Ontario Hydro has no plans for this right-of-way, therefore, we have no objections to this plan."

The Town of Newcastle Building Department "No Comment" COMMENTS: Staff have reviewed the proposed plan of subdivision submitted by Dr. A. E. King and note that there were no major concerns as a result of the circulation of this proposal . However, in accordance with the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority's request, staff have revised the proposed plan of subdivision by eliminating the valley lands which form Lots 51 to 53 inclusive, as this area is generally not suitable for residential uses. These lands which subsequently would remain south of fill and construction limit, as designated by the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority, are to be included as part of the public open space dedication to the Town and which also form part of the Farewell Creek valley system. . . .10/ REPORT NO. : PD-12.1-83 Page 10 In that regard, staff are recommending that the Region of Durham be advised that the Town of Newcastle has no objection to the approval of draft plan of subdivision 18T-83006 subject to the specific conditions which are outlined in Attachments 1 and 2 to this Report.
