(416) 263-2231 REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MEETING OF August 23, 1979. REPORT NO.: P-151-79 SUBJECT: Ontario Municipal Board Hearing of Objections against By-law 79-7, Paul Papanikolopoulos Our File No. Z -A-1-4-2 BACKGROUND: By-law 79-7 amends the Darlington Zoning By-law by changing the zone designation of part of Lot22, Concession 2, Darlington from "Agri- culture" to "C2-4" to permit the development of a convenience retail store and a take-out restaurant on the site. This By-law was approved by Council on January 29, 1979 and circulated to abutting landowners in accordance with Ontario Municipal Board regulations. Three letters of objection were received by the Clerk within the twenty-one day period allotted for objections. These objections will be considered at an Ontario Municipal Board Hearing, schedule for September 4, 1979. COMMENTS: The residents who have objected to the By-law seem to be concerned about site design matters rather than about the suitability of the site for the use proposed (see attached letters). The proposed By-law requires - 2 the negotiation of a development agreement before building permits are available to the site. The applicant is in the process of having a detailed site plan prepared, which will serve as a basis for the negotiation of the agreement. It is hoped that this site plan will be completed, so that the objectors and the Municipal Board can evaluate whether the concerns of the residents can be resolved through site design. The applicant, accompanied by his solicitor, will be present at the Hearing in support of By-law 79-7. Under the circumstances, we do not feel that it is necessary for the Town of Newcastle to be repre- sented at the Hearing. RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully recommended: 1. That the contents of this report be received for information, and 2. That the applicant be advised that the Town of Newcastle will not be represented at the Ontario Municipal Board Hearing in respect of By-law 79-7. Respectfully,submitted, NJF:lb D. N. Smith, M.C.I.P.
