ZAKAROW PART OF LOTS 11 & 12, CONCESSION 2 GEOGRAPHIC TWP. OF DARLINGTON FILE NO. : 18T-82037 RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration Committee recommend to Council the following : 1 . That Report PD-176-83 be received; and 2. That Recommendation No. 4 of Staff Report PD-148-83 be lifted from the table and considered by Council , in light of the comments contained within this Staff Report PD-176-83. I I . . .2 REPORT NO. : PD-176-83 Page 2 BACKGROOND AND COMMENTS: At its meeting of October 17, 1983, the General Purpose and Administration Committee considered Staff Report PD-148-83 in respect of the referenced subdivision proposal . As a result of the Committee's consideration, the matter of subdivision approval was tabled pending a staff review of alternative transportation networks for the Bowmanville North Community, including their cost implications. Follow- ing therefrom, staff prepared two alternatives to the trans- portation network presently contained within the Official Plan. These alternatives were, in the Planning Department 's opinion viable, and one of them could be implemented without the necessity of an amendment to the Regional Official Plan. These alternatives were circulated to the Public Works Department along with the present transportation system as proposed by the Official Plan and a system based upon the road network contained within the subject plan of subdivision. The following comments were provided by the Public Works Department: "1 . The alternative dictated by the Zakarow Plan of Subdivision is unacceptable for the following reasons : a) It provides for a discontinuous east/west major collector which defeats the intent of this classifi- cation of road ; b) Any attempt to rectify the situation by extending the road directly across Liberty Street will : i ) displace and inconvenience existing residents on the east side of Liberty Street ; 3 I I jev REPORT NO. : PD-176-83 Page 3 ii ) generate costs associated with the acquisition and moving or demolition of the existing residences. 2. The alternative presented in the Official Plan and Alternative No. 2, maintain what I consider, a well planned road network. The two east/west collectors are well spaced and continuous, and thus provide for a superior overall transportation network. Options for internal street layout, and intersections of local streets with the collector are maximized. Alternative No. 2 however, has the disadvantage of displacing exist- ing residences on the east side of Liberty Street, and has cost, both social and monetary, associated with same. 3. Alternative No. 1 maintains continuity of the east/west collector, and eliminates the requirement to displace and purchase, however, it establishes a less than ideal street pattern. Between the existing developed area of Bowmanville and the Third Concession Road, it provides for only one continuous east/west road. Furthermore, it creates additional intersections of collector, with collector, which could serve as a restriction, to more orderly development of the intervening lands. In summary, having reviewed the alternatives , I am inclined to select either the Official Plan Alternative, or Alternative No. 2 from a transportation planning point of view. They provide for a more ideal network in an area where very few restrictions exist, and it seems to me that under such conditions, we should not accept second best. From a cost view point, all alternatives are basically equal , with the exception of those which involve displacement and purchase of existing residences." As the Committee must appreciate, Planning staff must rely on the Public Works Department for its engineering expertise with respect to transportation networks. . . .4 I i I FV --�O REPORT NO. : PD-176-83 Page 4 In this instance, we can concur with all of their comments, especially those which highlight the need for a continuous east/west collector system which minimizes the impacts upon existing residences, thus reducing the cost to the Municipality, both social and monetary. When both the Engineering and Planning considerations are taken into account, the transportation network proposed by the Official Plan remains the optimum solution for this portion of Bowmanville. Alternative No. 1 while having little or no impacts upon existing residential development, has certain disadvantages with respect to the engineering and transportation design considerations. Furthermore, it requires an amendment to the Regional Official Plan, if Council wishes to implement this option. Alternative No. 2 is very similar to the network proposed by the Official Plan at present, and could be implemented without the necessity of an official plan amendment, however there would be cost to the Municipality associated with property acquisition, and possible displacement of existing residential development. Staff have not attempted to estimate these costs, inasmuch as they will vary from property to property, depending upon the appraised value, and at this point in time, only the options proposed by the Official Plan and Alternative No. 1 would have no, or minimum costs to the Town, vis-a-vis property acquisition. All other costs associated with development of the road system would be borne by developers as the development proceeds. Staff also note that Alternative No. 2 would still be in close proximity to the applicant ' s residence and may not be acceptable to him. . . .5 i REPORT NO. : PO-176-83 Page 5 Inasmuch as staff are convinced that the optimum location for the proposed east/west collector road is as designated within the Official Plan, and inasmuch as this Official Plan has presently been approved by Council , staff will require further direction if an alternative other than that presently contained within the Official Plan, is to be pursued. We must however, continue to recommend the presently designated location as being the most beneficial to the Municipality. Staff, at this time, would also like to provide additional information in respect of services. In that regard we note that Regional Public Works Commissioner's Report #2.07-83 dated November 1 , 1983, outlines the various costs of providing services to the subject property. These costs total $645,000. and result from $30,000. of trunk sewer works and $615,000. for establishment of a Zone II water supply. It should also be noted that development of the western portion of the plan may be dependent upon the downstream works contemplated by the Cean Investments subdivision. Furthermore, under presetnly proposed Regional Policies, these costs would be the responsibility of the developer. In view of the foregoing comments , staff must still submit that the approved transportation network is the optimum solution and that, based upon servicing, the proposal is premature.

That Attachment 1 to Report PD-73-83 be amended by deleting Paragraph 8(c) thereto in its entirety and replacing same with the following new Paragraph 8(c) : "8(c) - to undertake at no cost to the Town the construction of a temporary pedestrian walkway from the southerly limit of Street G, south to the northerly limit of High Street; and further that the applicant acquire at no cost to the Town all necessary easements to give effect to same." ; and 4. That consideration be given to adopting the following resolution : "That the Regional Municipality of Durham be advised that the Town of Newcastle has no objection to draft plan approval of subdivision application 18T-82037 subject to the conditions outlined by Attachment 1 to Staff Report PD-73-83" ; and .2/ I 40 REPORT NO. : PD-148-83 Page 2 5. That the development plan for Neighbourhood 2B of the Bowmanville Major Urban Area attached to Staff Report PD-73-83 be adopted as amended by staff; and 6. That the Region of Durham be advised of the Town 's actions. BACKGROUND AND COMMENT: On June 20, 1983, the General Purpose and Administration Committee considered Staff Report PD-73-83 in respect of the referenced application for subdivision approval (copy of * Report attached). As a result of the request submitted by Marshall , Macklin and Monoghan, the applicant's consultants, this item was withdrawn from the agenda and referred back to staff for further dialogue with the applicant to address the concerns raised, including the low water pressure concerns of the present residents of the Town of Newcastle. On September 22nd, 1983, staff met with the applicant, Dr. Zakarow, Councillor Hubbard and Mayor Rickard to discuss the applicant 's concerns with Staff Report PD-73-83. In that regard, two major concerns were identified. The proposed alignment of Street E and staff's recommendation that the applicant be required to undertake the construction of Street G, southerly to the existing High Street. With respect to the first concern, staff indicated that the location of Street E as proposed by the applicant , did not conform with the Official Plan of the Bowmanville Major Urban Area and that its intersection with Liberty Street would have to be shifted northerly in order to facilitate the future easterly extension of this road. The location proposed by staff, represented in our opinion , the optimum . . .3/ I REPORT NO. : PD-148-83 Page 3 location for this road, bearing in mind existing development patterns on the east side of Liberty and transportation considerations related to the relationship of this major collector to other designated collectors and arterial roads in Bowmanville. More notedly the road allowance between Lots 2 and- 3 to the north and Concession Street to the south. The applicant' s concern with this recommendation of staff relates to the fact that such a realignment would necessitate the relocation of an existing garage and would bring the location of this major collector road to within 20 metres (65.5 feet) of the applicant 's residence. Staff explained the rational for the location of the street and indicated that any revision to this location would require an amendment to the Official Plan for the Bowmanville Urban Area. Any application for Official Plan Amendment should be submitted by the applicant to the Regional Municipality of Durham and staff would recommend this course of action should Dr. Zakarow wish to pursue this concern. With respect to the second matter, the extension of High Street, staff have made our recommendation based upon the need to provide access for future public school students to the Lord Elgin Public School site immediately to the south, as well as the desirability of providing a secondary vehicular access to this proposed subdivision. In this regard, staff would have no objection to the deletion of this requirement, subject to the applicant obtaining at least an easement over the future right-of-way and constructing a pedestrian pathway at his cost, in order to establish this necessary pedestrian linkage. At such time as the intervening lands are to be developed, this temporary connection would be removed in favour of a more permanent i . ..4/ REPORT NO. : PD-148-83 Page 4 solution. The need for at least a pedestrian connection , has been discussed with the applicant who is generally in agreement. Although the mechanism for achieving same has not yet been discussed, staff feel that an easement for pedestrian purposes would be the most effective means of achieving this objective. Bearing the forgoing in mind, staff are recommending that Staff Report PD-73-83 now be considered with the following modifications to Attachment 1 , Paragraph 8(c) : "to undertake at no cost to the Town, the construction of a temporary pedestrian walkway from the southerly limit of Street G, south to the northerly limit of High Street ; and further that the applicant acquire at no cost to the Town , all necessary easements to give effect to same". If in considering Staff Report PD-73-83 and the applicant 's objection to the recommended realignment of Street E, Council is unable to support the staff recommendations, Staff would recommend that the application be tabled pending an application to amend the Official Plan for the Bowmanville Major Urban Area. With respect to the second part of the Council 's direction related to the low water pressure concerns of the present residents, staff can only comment that this is a matter of Regional jurisdiction and that it is our opinion that the provision of services to the subject plan should not be permitted to adversely impact the level of services to existing residents. . . .5/ 1-1 aO') REPORT NO. : PD-148-83 Page 5 If Council feels that there is an existing problem related to low water pressure, then we respectfully suggest than an appropriate resolution in respect of same be forwarded to the Regional Municipality of Durham.

ZAKAROW - PART OF LOTS 11 and 12, CONCESSION 2 - OUR FILE: 18T-82037 RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration Committee recommend to Council the following: 1 . That Report PD-73-83 be received; and 2• That consideration be given to adopting the following Resolution: That the Regional Municipality of Durham be advised that the Town of Newcastle has no objection to draft plan approval of subdivision * application 18T-82037, subject to the conditions outlined by Attachment 1 to this Report"; and 3.

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 :Report No: PD-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 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 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?" 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. z� 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 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 L-V _a�►� 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 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. i it -�►a 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 ivv •a-��� Report No: '3-83 ,/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 u itted, r T. T. Edwards, M.C.I.P.

Zakarow in respect of a 21 .11 i 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 V Co C Report No: PD-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 owner shall agree in the subdivision agreement to carry out those matters referred to in Conditions l 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 ."

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 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 1 Report No: PD-73-83 ...fig 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 was developer prepared to construct p p p 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 Qowmanville would be required, as would be the construction of a pumping station and other appurtenant works. A portion of these works is I 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 I Regional capital forecast. „ Report No: PD-73-83 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: F 13-83 ,/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 ' Witted, re� T. T. Edwards, M.C.I.P.
