REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MEETING OF November 22, 1979.
REPORT NO.: P-209-79
SUBJECT: Extension of Draft Plan Approval
Romney Mead Subdivision - Village of Newcastle
East Woodbridge Developments Ltd. 18T-19720
Our File: S -A-3-12-1
BACKGROUND:
The attached correspondence from East Woodbridge Developments
Ltd. was received by Staff on November 7, 1979.
East Woodbridge Developments Ltd. is requesting a one year
extension to the draft plan approval of the Romney Mead Subdivision
in the Village of Newcastle. Draft approval of the plan will lapse on
December 31st, 1979.
COMMENT:
Staff note that subdivision 18T-19720 was originally given draft
plan approval by the Ministry of Treasury, Economics and Intergovernmental
Affairs in August of 1972. Since that time, draft plan approval has been
extended on a number of occasions due to a lack of services in the Village
of Newcastle.

As members of the Committee are aware, a subdivision agreement
with East Woodbridge Developments Ltd. has been executed by the town
(July, 1979). The subject subdivision has not proceeded to final regis-
tration, however, staff understand that a number of concerns have delayed
registration, including changes in market conditions. Staff would like
to see the Romney Mead subdivision proceed to registration as soon as
possible and are concerned that the requested extension of draft plan
approval for one year indicates that the developer may not proceed with
the plan for some time. Despite these concerns, staff are willing to
recommend the requested extension of one year as it is considered rea-
sonable under current circumstances.

"The Town of Newcastle hereby requests the Minister of

Dear Sir:
Re: Extension of Draft Approval
Ministry of Housing File No. 18T-19720
Romney Mead - Village of Newcastle
As you are no doubt aware, the interest held in the above -noted property
by Milani & Milani Holdings Limited was acquired by East Woodbridge
Developments Limited in June 1979. Following the purchase, the new
management undertook to familiarize itself with and review the status
and direction of the projects under its purview. Because of the result-
ing delay, it now appears that it will not be possible to register the
above -noted plan of subdivision by December 31, 1979.
Since draft approval for the subdivision expires on that date, I wish to
request a one-year extension of same. In view of the timing constraints
involved, I would appreciate it if this matter could be dealt with at
the Planning Committee meeting of November 22, 1979. Should you feel it
advisable, I would be pleased to be in attendance at that meeting to
respond to any questions.
Thank you in advance for your assistance, I remain,
Yours very truly,
AST WOODBR DGE DEVELOPMENTS LTD.,
Milena Protich,
Project Manager.
