TO: Chairman & Members of the REPORT NO. P-37-79
Planning & Development Committee DATE: March 5, 1979
SUBJECT: Newcastle Village - Development Plan - Southwest Quadrant
Comments:
As a result of recent discussions between Regional Staff,
the Ministry of Housing and the local Member of Provincial
Parliament the situation respecting District Plans and
Development Plans has been somewhat clarified as outlined
in the attached correspondence from the Ministry of Housing
to Mr. Sam Cureatz, M.P.P.
It would appear that development in Newcastle Village can
proceed by way of Development Plans as long as they are in
conformity with the Durham Regional Official Plan. In that
regard, we have prepared a Development Plan for the Southwest
Quadrant of Newcastle Village and undertaken a preliminary
circulation. If approved, plans of subdivision could proceed j
to draft approval and registration in line with the completion
i
of the water filtration plant, thus minimizing the lag between
the provision of services and the construction of housing.
I
I
i
2 -
The concept proposes an ultimate population of approximately
2000 persons for this quadrant, subject to the limitations
I
of existing trunk sewer capacities. The actual details of
engineering works necessary to implement the plan shall be
finalized during the subdivision approval process and this
plan is meant only as a policy statement to control street
layout, population densities, the provision of open space and
school facilities. At this time the need for a school site in
this quadrant has not been confirmed but should be provided
for until such time as the Newcastle Village Urban Area Plan
has been finalized.
The location of roads and the exact limits of the various
land use designations are conceptual only and shall be further
detailed during formal circulation of the concept.
We attach for your information a copy of the background study
and comments received relative to the concept.
Recommendation:
Based on the foregoing, we recommend the following:
1 "That the Neighbourhood Development Plan for the South-
West Quadrant of the Newcastle Village Urban Area be
adopted in principle"; and that
2. "The Neighbourhood Development Plan, be circulated to
concerned agencies for comment" .
Respec fully ubmitted,

PRELIMINARY CIRCULATION
At the time of preparation of this report, it was expected
that comments relative to the concept would have been received in
time to be included on this agenda. However, only written comments
I
from Mr. Jack Dunham, Director of Public Works and verbal approval j
from Mr. B. Fanning, Community Services were received.
i
Comments are forthcoming from Mr. J. Hayman, Fire Chief,
and we are confident that any concerns he may have, can be adequately
resolved during the formal circulation process.

Subject: VILLAGE OF NEWCASTLE - Southwest Quadrant.
Neighbourhood Development Plan.
Date: March 9, 1979.
i
i
With reference to the subject matter, and your request for a
review of the proposal, the following are our comments:-
1. The Neighbourhood Development Plan proposes
that lots will front Ruddell Road. This is
an arterialroad and it is the Town's Entrance-
way Policy that there will only be rearyard
development abutting such roads.
2. It is felt that there should be additional
blocks to the west limit of the crescents
backing onto Foster Creek. These blocks
will not only allow for storm drainage
facilities but will also give access to an
area which, eventually, will be the location
of a passive park.
3. With respect to the access onto Highway 2
of the collector road at the east side of
the Plan, it is a matter of concern that site
lines in the westerly direction are inadequate.
As Highway 2 falls under the jurisdiction of
the Ministry of Transportation & Communications,
it is suggested that the Ministry be approached
and requested to review and comment on the
proposal.

Dear Mayor Rickard: 1 #

Further to the Town of Newcastle ' s inquiry to the
Mnister of Housing' s position in regards to development
of areas in the Town of Newcastle , as the Village of
Newcastle , please find enclosed a letter from Mrs . D. Santo,
Director , Official Plans Branch.
As per your Council ' s direction , I had discussions with the
Ministry staff , including Mrs . Santo and Mr. Phil McKinstry ,
who indicated that although the Ministry would feel that
a District Plan would help bring about uniformity in the
whole Town of Newcastle, there basically would not be any
objections if the Town of Newcastle decided that certain
specific areasshould proceed before the District Plan.
According to Mrs . Santo' s letter, the Town Council could .`
proceed in two ways : firstly, by following existing Official
Plans that cover specific areas as the Village of Newcastle ,
or secondly, by following the Regional. Official Plan , which
in many cases , as in the Village of Newcastle , is detailed
enough for planning purposes for the Council to follow.
Yours/sincerely,
am L. Cureatz

Subject: District Plan Town of Newcastle
Dear Mr. Cureatz:
I understand that there has been some confusion re-
garding our stand on District Plans in the Town of
Newcastle . I would like to take this opportunity to
clarify our position.
My staff met with Mr . Kristoff, Planning Director
for the Town of Newcastle , last November. At that
meeting Mr . Kristoff stressed his commitment to
preparing a detailed District Plan for the Downtown
of Bowmanville . Our. District Plan Guidelines,
however, recommended that there be one overall
District Plan for a municipality, i .e . the Town of
Newcastle . We felt that if a partial. District Plan
were approved for Bowmanville and later a consolidated
District Plan submitted which included Bowmanville ,
the Bowmanville portion would be subject to a second
round of referral requests .
In order to avoid this situation, we suggested that
Official plans for the Newcastle area be updated in
conformity with
the Regional Plan, consolidated and
submitted as an overall District Plan with the more
detailed section on Bowmanville . This would allow the
Bowmanville Plan to go ahead while satisfying the
recommendation that there be one overall District Plan .
More detailed policies for the other areas in Newcastle
other than Bowmanville could be submitted as amendments
at a later date .
I understand that development in Newcastle is being
delayed pending Development Plans . These in turn are
being delayed pending the District Plan. According to
the Regional Plan, development in most situations can
proceed without a Development Plan, as long as that
development conforms to an existing approved Official
2
Plan . Hence it is possible for development to
proceed through amendments to the existing official
plans for the Newcastle area rather than having it
delayed until the District and Development Plans
are completed .
As I mentioned to you in our recent discussion , our
District Plan Guidelines have not been formally
discussed with the Regional staff but we will be
doing so at a meeting next week. We will discuss
the Newcastle situation as well with Regional staff.
If requested , I am certainly available to meet with
Newcastle representatives after I have met with the
Regional staff .
I hope that this clarifies our position . However,
please call me if you have any other questions .
Yours truly,
Mrs . D. Santo, M.C. I .P .

1 . THE STUDY AREA
1 .1 Location: The study area located immediately adjacent to
the existing built-up area of the Newcastle Village Urban
Area, on the south side of Highway 2, and west of the
Foster Creek.
The study area consists of approximately 55 hectares and
is bounded by Ruddell Road on the west, Highway 2 on the
north, the Foster Creek on the east and Highway 401 to the
south.
i
1 .2 Local Context: The Durham Regional Official Plan establishes
the general long-term land use for the Newcastle Village Urban
area and provides for a population of 7000 persons with a sewer
design capacity of 10,000 persons.
Schedule 1 to this development plan provides a generalized
land use plan in accordance with the provisions of the Durham
Regional Official Plan in the absence of an approved District
Plan for the Town of Newcastle.
1 .3 Water Supply: Newcastle Village is presently supplied by
municipal well with a lake source water treatment plant ex-
pected to be completed by the fall of 1979. This new source
will increase both the quality and quantity of water supply
available to the community.
1 .4 Sanitary Sewage and Treatment System: Newcastle Village is
presently served by the Graham Creek Water Pollution Control
Plant which has a service design population of 10,000 persons.
The subject neighbourhood consists of four complete drainage
areas and a portion of two others.
Development within this neighbourhood is constrained by the
capacity of the existing sewers and pumping stations serving
it, being a design constraint of 37 persons per gross hectare.
The total area proposed for servicing is approximately 55 hec-
tares, resulting in a potential population of 2035 persons.
When reviewed relative to drainage areas 1 - 3 covering the
lands north and south of Highway 2 west of Foster Creek the
total potential is approximately 4065 persons for the total
of 110 hectares. A population allocation of 2000 persons for
this neighbourhood would, therefore, be realistic and provide
ample reserve for the north-west quadrant.
1 .5 Environmental Factors: The neighbourhood is bounded on the
east by the Foster Creek and the flood plain shall be protected
and preserved from encroachment by development. All works related
to the Foster Creek valley lands will be subject to the approval
of both the Town and the Ganaraska Conservation Authority.
Prior to permitting development to occur, the Town will require
i
i
- 2 -
the developer to submit a Pre-Engineering Report on Storm
Drainage indicating to the satisfaction of the Town and
Conservation Authority, the means whereby surface drainage
will be conducted from the site.
1 .6 Schools: At the present time, the need for a school site
within this neighbourhood has not been confirmed. However,
if a site does not prove to be necessary it shall resort to
a low-density residential use.
i
2. LAND USE CONCEPT
The neighbourhood development plan is based on an internal
loop collector road within a frame formed by the existing road network
and the Foster Creek. An elementary school and neighbourhood park are
centrallYlocated with pedestrian access linking them to other areas
of the neighbourhood.
Lower density residential uses are located in close proximity
to the school/park facilities while medium density uses, which have a
tendency to generate more traffic, are located along the neighbourhood
perimeter to facilitate access.
2.1 Development Concept: The development concept consists of an
integrated mixed density residential neighbourhood with an
approximate population of 2000. The overall development density
is 55 persons per net residential hectare. The individual
residential densities are defined as follows: j
Density Net Density Range Persons per Unit Types
Unit
Low 15 u.p. ha 3.3 single family
detached
semi-detached
Medium 30 u.p. ha 3.5 street townhouses
block townhouses
High not permitted
I
2.2 Open Space and Parkland: Parkland withinihe Neighbourhood
shall be provided on the basis of 1 hectare per 300 dwelling
units or 5% of the total area whichever is greater, and/or
cash-in-lieu.
Hazard lands or lands susceptible to flooding shall not be
accepted as part of the required park dedication but shall
be deeded gratuitously to the appropriate authority for the
purpose of flood control and environmental protection.
- 3 -
3. IMPLEMENTATION
This neighbourhood development Plan shall be implemented by
the registration of Plans of subdivision subject to the applicable
Municipal policies, Provincial statutes and the policies of those
agencies having jurisdiction.
