(416) 263-2231 REPORT TO PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MEETING of August 23, 1979 REPORT NO.: P-143-79 SUBJECT: Application for Plan of Subdivision Number 18T-76063, Part of Lot 20, Concession 10, former Township of Darlington (File No. S -A-1-15-4) - R. & G. Sucee BACKGROUND: The attached Report P-110-79, which was presented to the July 5, 1979 meeting of the Planning and Development Committee, recommended approval of the subject application, subject to certain revisions and conditions. Two of the main concerns identified in this report were the fact that the proposed internal road pattern did not provide an emergency access to the site, and that the proposed walkway to Darlington Street was unacceptable. In an attempt to resolve these concerns, staff suggested the elimination of the proposed walkway, and the extension of the proposed cul-de-sac to connect with the road allowance to the west of the proposed subdivision. At the Planning and Development Committee Meeting, the applicant's consultant proposed, as an alternative, the connection of Street "A" to Darlington Street. As a result of this presentation, Report P-110-79 was referred back to Planning Staff for discussion with the proponent, by resolution PD -306-79. - 2 - On July 13, 1979, staff of the Works and Planning Departments met with Mr. Sucee and his engineer, Mr. Hoddenbaugh, and discussed possible revisions to the subdivision plan. COMMENT: As a result of the discussions with the applicant, staff are satisfied that the connection of Street "A" to Darlington Street is an acceptable alternative, on the condition that the applicant pays the cost of upgrading the existing road to the subdivision within the Darl- ington Street Road allowance, and further on the understanding that the applicant will be required to widen and upgrade Darlington Street to municipal standards as a condition of the development of his lands to the north of the subject site. A copy of the revised plan will be presented to the August 23, 1979 meeting. RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully recommended that proposed plan of subdivision number 18T-76023 be recommended to the Minister of Housing for approval, subject to the following conditions: 1.
