INFORMATION REPORT TO PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MEETING,
May 14, 1979.
REPORT NO. : P-56-79
SUBJECT: Newcastle Village Urban Area
BACKGROUND:
We attach for your information a copy of correspondence
from the Ministry of Housing to Mr. S. Cureatz, M.P.P. , relative to
the Town's planning process. This letter was in response to discussions
between the local M.P.P. , town staff, regional staff and the Ministry
concerning apparent delays to development arising from the lack of
formalized plans and the impending completion of municipal services
for Newcastle Village.
COMMENTS:
i
The text of the letter is self-explanatory and accurately
reflects the current situation and the method by which the Milani
i
first phase was dealt with. However, at present there are no other
subdivison proposals, within the Village area, which have received
draft approval, necessitating the finalization of the Newcastle Village
Urban Area Plan prior to additional development proceeding.

CONCLUSION:
Inasmuch as a certain amount of development has already
been approved and is proceeding to registration of plans, the urgency
for permitting additional unplanned development is not as great and
should, therefore, proceed in line with the planning process presently
underway.
RECOMMENDATION:
That Planning and Development Committee recommend to Town
I
I
Council the following:
1. That the attached letter from Mrs. Santo to Mr. Cureatz
be received for information, and
2. That a copy of this report be forwarded to Mr. Cureatz
for his information.

Subject: Town of Newcastle
Dear Mr. Cureatz :
Thank you for your recent letter inquiring of the
direction which we have suggested for Newcastle in
their planning process . I regret the delay in this
response .
The Town of Newcastle is currently preparing detailed
plans for certain areas in the context of an overall
structure . A concern has come out of this as to what
development can proceed in the Village of Newcastle
before this planning process is complete .
The Village of Newcastle has no official plan or zoning
by-law coverage. They do, however, have a number of
draft approved plans of subdivision. To clear the
conditions of draft approval on these plans, we suggested
a free standing by-law to cover the specific areas . Such
a by-law could be repealed and incorporated into a
comprehensive by-law whenever that is prepared. In the
meantime development could proceed in the Village
without contravening either the Regional Official or
Ministry ' s Guidelines on District Plan preparation.
If you have any questions, please call me .
Yours truly,
Ti ,0
