Re: Proposod Official Plan Amondment 20
to the Official Plan for the Regional
Municipality of Durham
We are solicitors for 385429 Ontario Limited and Windsweep Farms
(1905) Limited, owners of approximately Seventy -One
in the Newcastle Waterfront area, including soe Eleven)Hundredhecte(11of 100)an
meters fronting on Lake Ontario and Graham Creek.
The following are specific technical comments in response to a brief
received by Committee on this date, prepared by Ms. N. Jane Pepino,
solicitor to Paramont Development Corporation Limited.
11'irstly, none of our clients' lands are under consideration by the
Ontario Municipal Board at this time and therefore we suggest that thare
is no impropriety in proceeding with an Amendment prior to the Boards
disposition of objections to the Regional Plan.
Historically, the Newcastle urban area was initiated by development
surrouxiding the mouth of Graham Creek and proceeded northward. This
natural harbour is a focus of the Newcastle Village area, and not an
"add on" to the traditional settlement pattern.
The proposed Amendment would provide the planning framework for a
strongly recreationally oriented community, the presence of which would
require upgrading of Mill Street. A mechanism to ensure that costs
arising; to the Municipality as a consequence of such development is
available in the form of levies and similar cash contributions by
development interests. Tlie Town and/or Region have the power to ensure
that no costs toward improving the grade separation are carried by
e� isting residents.
