TO: Chairman and Members of the REPORT NO. P-69-78
Planning Development Committee September 12, 1978
SUBJECT: Report on letter from McPherson, Walker, Wright Associates
regarding Durcourt Subdivision
The subject letter requested that the 80 acre plan of sub-
division proposed by Durcourt Developments Limited be "processed and
circulated" and that the Town's evaluation of the proposal be completed
prior to the preparation of a Secondary Plan for Courtice.
In fact, circulation of the proposed Plan has already occurred,
in accordance with Resolution P-165-77 of the Planning and Development
Committee. To date, several of the agencies contacted have indicated
their inability to comment on the proposal due to the absence of a
comprehensive Secondary Plan for the Courtice area. Information required
for an intelligent evaluation of development in the Courtice area, such
as, projected school requirements, population densities and alignment of
major arterial roads, will be dealt with in conjunction with the Secondary
I
Plan currently under preparation for the Courtice area.
We would, therefore, recommend that Mr. Shiomi be advised that
the preparation of staff comments on the _proposed__Plan_would be premature
pending completion of the Courtice Secondary Plan. t , J '
