(416)263-2231 REPORT TO THE COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 7, 1982 REPORT NO. : PD-96-82 SUBJECT: PROPOSED REZONING - R.M. HOLLINGSHEAD PLANT PART OF LOT 13, CONC. 2-, FORMER TOWN OF BOWMANVILLE, OUR FILE: Z-A-2-1-8 RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully recommended: 1 . That Report PD-96-82 be received; and 2. That Report PD-90-82 be received for information; and * 3. That the attached amendment to Restricted Area By-law 1587, as amended, rezoning part of lot 13, Concession 2, (Bowmanville), from "R-General Residential" to "Special Condition 22" to permit the use of the subject lands for industrial purposes be approved. BACKGROUND: At the General Purpose and Administration Committee Meeting of May 31st, 1982, there was considerable discussion held relative to the draft By-law amendment attached to staff Report PD-90-82. f �r i P Report No. : PD-96-82 . . ./2 In particular, concerns were identified relative to Section 1 .3 Permitted Uses Subsection c) (i ), which would restrict the use of Block 3 (Hollingshead site) to "dry light industrial uses housed within an existing industrial building". Following on the Committee's discussion of this* particular section of the By-law, staff have discussed the implications of deleting the words "housed within an existing industrial building" with staff of the Durham Regional Planning Department. They advised that provided the definition of "Industry dry light" remains unchanged, and provided the following additional clause were added: "h) any expansion which will result in additional sewage flow will require the approval of the Regional Municipality of Durham Works Department prior to the issuance of a Building Permit" they would have no difficulty with the proposed deletion, although preferably it should be retained to reinforce the intent of the By-law. Staff have reviewed this requested addition, and discussed same with the Town Solicitor, who concurs with our opinion that the addition of such a clause within a Restricted Area (Zoning) By-law is not appropriate and is legally questionable, inasmuch as it confers upon a department of the Regional Municipality a discretionary approval power, something which the Town does not have the legislative authority to do. Report No. : PD-96-82 . . ./3 In addition to our discussions with the Regional Planning Department, staff discussed the implications of removing the word "existing" with the Durham Regional Works Department, who concurred with Town staff that the deletion of the word "existing" would be acceptable, provided existing sewage flows and water consumption could somehow be quantified in the Zoning By-law. We note, however, that although peak water consumption can be easily quantified through metering records, there is no available information relative to the levels of sewage flow leaving the lands in question and in order to quantify this, we would require data in respect of the amount of water utilized in the industrial process, the amount of water that left the site as part of a manufactured product, the amount of water discharged into the sanitary sewers as a result of the manufacturing process, the amount of water leaving the site by way of storm drainage, and the amount of waste water leaving the site by way of plumbing connections such as showers, washrooms and other such facilities. This would require a great deal of assistance from the property owners, assuming of course that they have in the past maintained such records, otherwise it would be difficult, if not impossible, to establish at this point in time. Given the dialogue that has taken place between Town staff and the staff of the Region of Durham, we feel that there are two options available at this point in time. 1 . To approve the attached amendment to By-law 1587, which limits the site to existing buildings, existing uses and dry light industrial uses; or Report No. : PD-96-82 .. ./4 2. To refer the matter back to staff for further discussion with the Region of Durham, C.C.L and the Bowmanville Foundry in an attempt to somehow establish limits to everyone's satisfaction upon the amount of water consumption and sanitary sewage waste disposal to be permitted by the By-law. * The attached revised amendment to By-law 1587 is submitted for Committee's consideration and approval in lieu of the draft By-law attached to staff Report PD-90-82, inasmuch as it contains a minor correction to Section 1 .3, subsection c)(i ).

Industries 105 Consumers Dr. Pt. of Lot 13, Conc. II , Bowmanvi 1 le Whitby, Ontario Canada,UN 6A3 Town of Newcastle (416)668-7731 This letter is further to my correspondence dated May 7, 1982. I DR. M. R MICHAEL. M.c.I.P. understand that you are in the process of drafting a revision to Corrrnssioner of Planning the By-law. As I mentioned in my letter, our only concern is that the permitted uses will not result in an increase from the previous level of water consumption and discharge into the sewer system, from when the former uses were in operation. The revision to the By-law has been discussed with Works Department staff and it was agreed that in order to insure the Region's servicing concerns are met, it is recommended that the following clause be inserted in the By-law under the heading "Zone Provisions": h) Any expansion which will result in additional sewage flow will require the approval of the Regional Municipality of Durham - Works Department prior to the issuance of a building permit. With respect to the alternative wording of this section you suggested in conversation with Mr. Gerry Cameron, I am concerned that any attempt to deal with this matter in more specific terms could make it very difficult for industrial development to exist in this area. Since we are committed to allow the industrial area to continue as before, I would appreciate that clause h) be added. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact this office. Yours very truly, Dr. M. Michael , M-C.I. . Commissioner of Planning =JJ cc: G. Crawford, Regional Works V. Silgailis, " Aft AIM' Further to your memorandum of March 16, 1982, we are providing the following comments with regard to the availability of Regional services to the lands affected by this Rezoning Application. 1 .0 Water Supply Water supply is presently provided to the lands subject to --�— ' this application by the existing watermains on SCU909 Street, Sturrock Avenue and on easement as shown on Attachment No. 1 . � � Due to supply and t pressure problems in the water distribution z = system north of the Canadian Pacific Railway, no major new L '5 i development has been permitted in this area of Bowmanv lle. 4 o Z i Some improvement to the system may be realized as a result of the construction of a 400 to 500 mm diameter watermain on Scugog W 1c � Street from King Street northerly to the C.P.R. w o z This work will be done in conjunction with the ion w = J of Scugog Street by the Town of Newcastle. Scheduling of r. ¢ CD construction of these works has not been completed to date. Ultimately, the Region will convert the section of Bowmanville, north of the C.P.R. , to a Zone II p r . � major feeder mains and a Zone II essure district by constructing west of Scugog Street. Pumping station on Concession Street, Funding for these works has not been provided in the Regional Capital Budget and Four Year Forecast at this time. 2.0 Sanitary Sewer Servicing/Existing Deficiencies Sections of the existing sanitary sewer system on Queen Street and Scugog Street that service the subject lands , are operating under surcharge during high flow periods and can not accommodate any additional flow. .. .2 G. D. C(imoron April 26, 1982 The alignment of the future Rehder Avenue Diversion Sewer which when constructed will divert the majority of the flow now tributary to the deficient sewers on Scugog Street and Queen Street to the existing trunk sanitary sewer on Spry Avenue, is shown on Attachment No. 2. It is proposed to construct the Diversion Sewer in four phases. Phase I was completed in 1978. Phase II will be installed in conjunction with the reconstruction of Scugog Street by the Town of Newcastle. Phases III and IV will complete the Diversion Sewer and will provide sanitary sewer capacity for future development. At the present time, no provision has been made in the Capital Budget and Four Year Forecast for the construction of either Phase III of Phase IV. Due to the above noted deficiencies, we cannot provide favourable comment on any development proposal or rezoning application which will result in increased flow to the existing sanitary sewer system. 3.0 Proposed Rezoning Application For the purpose of this application, the subject lands have been divided into three blocks as shown on Attachment No. 4. Block 1 The purpose of the rezoning application, as it relates to a 0.15 hectare parcel of land north of Sturrock Avenue and east of the railway spur line, is to recognize the existing use for bulk .storage of petroleum and petroleum products. Due to the existing constraints in the water supply and sanitary sewer system, we would not object to the passing of the by-law subject to a condition that expansion of the operation on Block 1 would be restricted until the deficiencies have been eliminated. Block 2 The purpose of the rezoning application, as it relates to a 0. 50 hectare parcel of land south of Sturrock Avenue and east of the railway spur line, is to recognize the existing use as a foundry. We have no objection to the approval of the by-law as it relates to the existing operating foundry. However, if the owners are contemplating an expansion to the Bowmanville Foundry, as indicated by Newcastle Planning Staff, we would require that a condition be imposed whereby any renovations or expansion to the foundry that would add additional loading on the water supply and sanitary sewer systems would not be permitted until capacity constraints in the systems are eliminated. . . .3 G. D. Cameron - 3 - April 26, 1982 Block 3 The purpose of the rezoning application, as it relates to a 1 .0 hectare parcel of land on the west side of the railway spur line, is to permit light industrial use within the existing industrial building. Light industrial use is defined in the by-law as follows : "Industry, Dry Light" shall mean an industry which is not offensive or likely to be offensive by reason of the amount of noise, smoke, odour or vibration produced therein and may include an assembly, manufacturing or processing plant which does not require water consumption or water use as part of the industrial process and may a.lso include an equipment. storage building and a warehouse. Since the purchase of this site from R. M. Hollingshead in December, 1981 , the existing building has been used primarily as a storage facility. Although we are in favour of the "Dry Industrial" designation for Block 3, we insist that approval be subject to the following conditions until such time as the capacity constraints are eliminated in the water supply and sanitary sewer systems : 1 ) Prohibit any expansion to the existing building. 2) Prohibit any modification to the existing plumbing in the building which would result in an increased loading on the sanitary sewer system. 3) Prohibit the discharge of cooling water from the building and/or machinery within the building to the sanitary sewer system. There is the possibility that area residents will object to the approval of any part of the by-law due to the negative comments we have given on previously submitted new development proposals in this part of Bowmanville. Therefore, it is our intention to meet with Newcastle Planning Staff to discuss our concerns, as soon as possible. We will inform you of the results of the meeting. C GAC/rd G. A.
