REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MEETING OF January 7, 19$8.
REPORT NO. : P-5-80
SUBJECT: Hamlet Development Plan - Tyrone
File: 3.13
BACKGROUND:
As part of the Department's ongoing work program, and as re-
quired by the Durham Regional Official Plan, staff have been preparing
development plans for various hamlets within the Town. The hamlet plan
for Tyrone was presented to the public on May 10, 1979. That meeting
provided a limited amount of public input and was given due consideration
during our review of the plan. In addition to seeking public input, staff
also circulated the plan to various agencies for comments, which are sum-
marized below:
Newcastle Public Works - 3.2.6 Roads - The Works Department recommends
that this section be reworded to include a reference to roads
meeting necessary Town standards prior to development being per-
mitted or new roads intersecting with existing roads. (Staff note
this request has been incorporated) Interpretation - This section
indicates that minor adjustments to road locations would not re-
quire an amendment to the plan. The Works Department suggests that
adjustments to road locations would be major and the word minor
should, therefore, be deleted. (Staff note that such a change
would drastically alter the original intent. If a major adjust-
ment is required to a road location then an amendment would be
necessary. However, to avoid debate on interpretation of major
versus minor, we have deleted references to road location from
this section and Schedule 1.) �)

Newcastle Fire Department - Consideration should be given to locating a
water reservoir in the centre of the hamlet, accessible from the
travelled portion of the road, possibly 20,000 gallon capacity.
(Staff note that this request was incorporated.)
Newcastle Community Services - No objection.
Regional Planning and Works - The plan proposes that development be lim-
ited to minor infilling and extensions to the existing 49 dwellings.
However, the number of proposed units has not been indicated. The
number of units should be specified within the development plan.
(Staff note that this has been done and as a result have revised
the hamlet boundaries to reduce the amount of development to be
permitted in order to conform to the Durham Regional Official Plan.)
The environmental sensitive mapping project identifies both the
east branch of the Bowmanville Creek and the Mackie Creek as being
highly sensitive. It is suggested that the plan be forwarded to
Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority for comment. (Staff
note that this was done.)
Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority - The "Development Restrictions"
portion of the plan indirectly eliminates many natural features de-
fined as Environmentally Sensitive. It is suggested that this section
be revised by the addition of sections dealing with environmentally
sensitive areas and setbacks from hazard lands or sensitive areas.
(Staff note that the requested revisions have been incorporated
within Section 3. 7)
Public School Board - No objection.
Separate School Board - No objection.
Durham Health Unit - Section 4.3 refers to a monitoring program to be
carried out by the Health Unit, which should more appropriately
be a function of the Ministry of the Environment. (Staff note
that this section has been revised to reflect this point) .
Ministry of Natural Resources - No objections, however, the Ministry
did suggest approaches for reducing impacts upon the headwaters
of cold water trout streams. (These suggestions are more approp-
riately dealt with as conditions of approvals for subdivisions or
consents.)
Ministry of Agriculture and Food - No objection, however, there is a
swine operation located on lot 8 south of the hamlet boundary,
if and when development occurs the Agricultural Code of Practice
must be adhered to. (Staff note that this concern has been incor-
porated.)
- 3 -
Ministry of the Environment - Cursory review of our computerized data
file, indicate that the description of groundwater availability
in the development plan is correct. The overburden is 60 to
70 metres thick and contains several aquifers. Generally, deeper
aquifers often yield larger quantities of water and are more reli-
able supplies. No water quality data is available, however, well
drillers have not reported salty or mineral water in this area.
COMMENTS:
As a result of our circulation and comments received, it would
appear that the greatest concerns expressed are relative to the actual
extent of development to be permitted within Tyrone. In that regard
the Durham Regional Official Plan limits the hamlet to minor infilling
and extensions to existing development. The original draft of the ham-
let plan was intended to conform to this requirement. However, upon a
review of the actual number of lots which would be permitted by that
plan, it was questionable as to whether or not the hamlet plan would
conform. We note that, while the hamlet may be capable of supporting
additional development and there are a number of individuals interested
in developing lands adjacent to the hamlet, the Town is obligated to
prepare development plans in conformity with the Regional Official Plan.
For this reason , the boundaries of the hamlet plan have been adjusted
to reduce the amount of land available for development.
CONCLUSION:
An amendment to the Durham Regional Official Plan would be re-
quired to designate Tyrone as a hamlet for growth, if additional develop-
ment is considered desirable. In that regard, we could not, at this time,
support such an amendment without further review and monitoring of ground
water and soils capabilities within the Hamlet.
- 4
Based on the foregoing, we feel that the revisions to the
subject hamlet plan will permit some development within Tyrone con-
sistentwith its present character and limitations, while reflecting
the major concern about conformity with the Durham Regional Official
Plan.
We note that one public meeting has been held and suggest that
a further meeting be held prior to Committee approval of the Hamlet
Plan.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Planning and Development Committee recommend to Council
the following:
1. That this report be received; and that
2. Staff be authorized to arrange a public meeting to present
the revised hamlet plan for Tyrone to the public.
Respectfully submitted,

1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 PURPOSE
The purpose of this plan is to define and determine the scale and scope of development
within the limits of the Hamlet of Tyrone.
The plan describes the Town policies for the future land uses in the area, various aspects
of the community development and the development controls to be used in implementing these policies.
1.2 BASIS
This plan has been prepared in compliance with Section 10.4.2.1 of the Durham Regional
Official Plan which requires that "the delineation of the limits of and the detailing of land uses
in Hamlets shall be undertaken in a development plan adopted by the Council of the respective area
municipality prior to major new development taking place".
The following text and Schedule '1' constitute the Development Plan for the Hamlet of
Tyrone and shall be used in conjunction with the Durham Regional Official Plan, until such time as
a District Plan has been prepared for the Town of Newcastle. At such time, Council may consider
incorporating this Hamlet Development Plan as a component of the District Plan.
2. PLANNING CONTEXT
2.1 EXISTING COMMUNITY
2.1 .1 History
According to the "Historical Sketch of Tyrone" by Nancy Lambert, 1903, the Community
of Tyrone received its name'as the result of a cricket match held between the Villagers in 184b.
The west end (Tyrone) , then mostly inhabitants of Irish descent (Northern Ireland, and in particular
County of Tyrone) made up one team and the east end (then called Mount Hope, whose residents hailed
from the Devon and Cornish areas of England) was the opposing team. The west enders were victorious
and thus the name Tyrone was decided upon once and for all .
By 1371 Tyrone was a station on the Grand Trunk Line, within easy reach of Bowmanville, Port Hope
or Toronto. A daily mail service was provided for a growing population of 300 and a partial listing
from the "Canadian Directory of 1871 " printed and published by John Lovell , Montreal , reveals the
diversified range of goods and services available;
1 - postmaster 4 - teamsters
1 - innkeeper 1 - stonecutter
2 - blacksmiths 8 - labourers
1 - painter 3 - ministers
2 - tailors 7 - farmers
3 - wagon makers 2 - shopkeepers
3 - shoe makers 1 - weaver
2
By 1887 the population had grown to over 500 persons. It was an active community, whose
early citizens have left a major impact. One of the most significant is the McLaughlin family. The
McLaughlins were part of a large group of Irish who eventually came to settle in this area. Around
1840, John McLaughlin purchased 160 acres of government land at the west end of Tyrone, upon which
his son, Robert, began the McLaughlin Carriage Company. By 1377, this company was expanding rapidly
which precipitated a move to Oshawa. By 1918, his carriage and motor car interests had combined to
become General Motors of Canada. A historic plaque now stands on the Tyrone homestead commemorating
his achievements.
Another prominent Tyronian was Samuel Vanstone, who upon moving to Tyrone in 1852 purchased
the Tyrone Mill which is still in operation today. Other significant structures which have survived
from the past are; S.S. #18, Tyrone School House (now a residence) , McCullough's Black Smith Shop
(built around 1850) in which many original tools and equipment survive, and the Tyrone United Church
which has remained in active use for over 110 years. All of these buildings should be considered for
eventual designation as historic sites.
2.1 .2 Community Facilities, Services and Organizations
The Hamlet of Tyrone has active and vital community organizations with an influence ex-
tending far beyond the physical limits of the Hamlet. In fact, the Tyrone Community Organizations
draw participants from a large area bounded by Regional Road 57, Taunton Road, Townline East, the
Tenth Line and beyond in some instances. The focus of these organizations is the new Tyrone Community
I
Hall located at the heart of the community. The site of the hall was purchased by two local residents j
;I
i�
;I
in the 1950's and was used primarily as parkland until interest in building a new community hall ,
to supplement the existing hall and permit expanded activities, was kindled in the early seventies.
The driving force behind this interest was the "Tyrone Hall Board", which is comprised of local resi-
dents and is responsible for the operation of the community hall .
During the early seventies funds were raised for the new hall , including a substantial
grant from the Everett McLaughlin Foundation, and in 1975 the hall was tendered for construction and
built. In 1976, the hall was opened and additional lands were acquired expanding the site to seven
acres. The ownership of the site is now with the Town of Newcastle, however, the responsibility for
operation and maintenance remains with the Tyrone Hall Board, with park maintenance costs paid by the
Town.
The new Community Hall generated new interest and involvement and has broadened the range
of community activities. Among the groups using the facilities available are the Tyrone Senior
Citizens Club, one of the largest in the Town, and the Tyrone Athletic Association, created in 1976,
which organizes sports for the community. The old community hall is still in active use and is leased
to three lodge groups by the Hall Board.
The extent to which the Community has become involved is best illustrated by the size of the
Senior Citizens Club with over 100 members and the expansion of competitive sports from two soccer teams
in 1970 to I hardball , 7 softball and 7 soccer teams in 1978.
The community's vitality is further expressed by the continuing expansion of activities and
facilities. In the fall of 1973 an indoor gymnastics program was introduced and was such a success
that it may be further expanded in years to come. At the same time expansion of the community hall
4,
is also contemplated to provide space for an enlarged kitchen, a separate room exclusively for the
seniors and possibly a private library.
2.2 DEVELOPMENT CONSIDERATIONS
2.2.1 Surficial Geology, Drainage and Topography
Tyrone is situated on a flat to gently rolling plain of silty clay till. The plain is well
drained and has been cut by two south-flowing drainages to the east and west of the community. Drainage
to the east is to the Soper Creek and to the west into a tributary of the Bowmanville Creek. The bank
slopes on both creeks range from 10% to 20% and portions of the valley bottoms are subject to a high
water table with both silt clay till and organic soils.
2.2.2 Water Supply
The community is served by private individual wells, which obtain their supplies from
granular overburden aquifers located at depths ranging from 15 to 60 meters from ground surface. There
is a good potential for obtaining yields up to 45 l.p.m. and for yields up to 110 l.p.m. the potential
is fair. The majority of wells in the area are drilled and these produce an adequate supply of water,
although some residents using shallow, bored wells experience water shortages during the summer months.
2.2.3 Sewage Disposal
Tyrone is served by private septic tank and the field systems. The clay till soils have
poor to fair permeability and percolative capacity and, when considering tile field construction in
this type of soil, the minimum depth to the water table should be 2 meters. The organic soil areas
and the low clay till areas are not suitable for the the field installation. The existing tile field
5
systems are reported to be satisfactory, in general, although there have been a few instances of
.tile fields backing up, but this is probably due to insufficient length of tile fields or inadequate
tile field construction in these soils.
2.2.4 Service Limitations
In general, the Hamlet is bordered on the east and the west by areas unsuitable for develop-
went. Development is best suited to the lands north and south of Tyrone and minimum lot sizes of 0.5
ha (1.25 ac) are suggested. The surficial drainage features appear to be of the effluent type and the
field construction should not be allowed within 15 meters of the edge of the feature. Furthermore,
indications are that the water table is relatively close to ground surface in some locations and test-
ing should be carried out to determine if adequate overburden cover exists.
The groundwater supply of the shallow aquifers appears to be of very limited extent and this
will be a significant factor in determining the extent of future growth. Generally, deeper aquifers often
yield larger and more reliable supplies of water. New development should, therefore, draw from these
deeper aquifers.
2.2.5 Agriculture
The Canada Land Inventory indicates that the land on which the Hamlet is located has a
classification of "18 42". Soils under this designation are 80% Class 1 soil and 20% Class 4 soil.
Class 1 soils have no significant limitations in use for crops. Class 4 soils have severe limitations
that restrict the range of crops or require special conservation practices or both. The subscript
indicates that the significant limitation in this case is adverse topography. The land immediately
6
surrounding the hamlet have the same classification except to the west which is classified as "l"
by the Canada Land Inventory. Soils so designated have no significant limitations to use for crops.
The soils are deep, well to imperfectly drained, hold moisture well, and in the virgin state were well
supplied with plant nutrients. They car. be managed and cropped without difficulty and under good man-
agement are moderately high to high in productivity for a wide range of field crops.
Bearing in mind the need to preserve high quality farm land as a resource necessary to food
production, and the area's designation as Permanent Agricultural Reserve in the Durham Regional Official
Plan, it is further suggested that Tyrone be limited to minor infilling and development in order to
minimize adverse affects upon adjacent farm operations.
2.3 OFFICIAL PLANS
Prior to approval of the Durham Regional Official Plan the hamlet of Tyrone was subject to
the provisions of the Official Plan for Darlington Township. Upon adoption of this Hamlet Development
plan shall be forthwith repealed by by-law, in accordance with Section 10.4.2.1 of the Durham Regional
Official Plan.
This Hamlet Development Plan may eventually form a part of the District Plan for the District
Planning Area of the Town of Newcastle which in turn shall be secondary to the Durham Regional Official
Plan.
2.4 ZONING
This Hamlet Development Plan shall be used as the basis for preparing the restricted area
(zoning) by-laws for the area under consideration.

3. DEVELOPMENT POLICIES
3.1 DEVELOPMENT PLAN LLKITS
In accordance with Section 10.4.2.1 of the Durham Regional Official Plan, the area in lots
7, 8, 9, 10 and 11, Concession VI and VII, in the former Township of Darlington, as shown on Schedule
'1' delineate the extent of 'the Hamlet Development Plan Area and the uses permitted therein.
Any adjustment to the Hamlet Development Plan Area boundaries, as delineated on Schedule '1'
shall require an amendment to this Plan and may also require an amendment to the Durham Regional Official
Plan or the Town's District Plan when in place.
3.2 RESIDENTIAL
There are 49 existing dwelling units at the present time, including 47 single dwellings
and 2 multiple dwellings. The Development Plan should provide for residential growth within desig-
nated areas and subject to specific conditions. New development should be integrated into the ex-
isting hamlet in a manner that will minimize adverse impact upon the existing residential areas and
the social fabric of the community. The new residential lots should be rectangular and at least 0.5 ha
(1. 25 ac.) in size unless otherwise specified within this plan.
The minimum lot size has the effect of reducing the possibility of health problems occurring
due to problems with septic tank systems as well as reducing the draw down effect concentrated develop-
ment has on the ground water supplies.
8
Care should also be taken to ensure that the present architectural character of the
Hamlet is complemented and enhanced where infilling or new development occurs. It is recommended
that the Town of Newcastle pursue a policy of encouraging and/or requiring tree planting and preser-
vation so that all areas of the Hamlet retain and provide a high standard of visual amenity.
3.2.1 Policies
(i) In accordance with Section 10.4.1.1 of the Durham Regional Official Plan, the predom-
inant land use permitted within the Hamlet Development Plan Area shall be single family
residential. Home occupations which do not create a nuisance through noise, smell,
unsightly storage or traffic may also be permitted.
(ii) The staging of new residential lots to be developed within the areas proposed for ex-
pansion, as designated on Schedule '1', may be determined by the Council of the Town
of Newcastle. Staging policies for the Hamlet of Tyrone may be added by amendment
to this Hamlet Plan, if such policies are deemed desirable by Council. Schedule '1'
indicates the maximum number of residential lots allowed within the designated areas.
(iii) In accordance with Section 10.4.1.5 of the Durham Regional Official Plan, all new
residential development within the Hamlet Development Plan Areas shall be serviced
by a private drilled well, drawing from deeper aquifers than existing wells, and a
private waste disposal system which complies with the standards of the Ministry of
the Environment as amended from time to time and as administered by the Medical Officer
of Health or otherwise.
(iv) The present architectural character of the Hamlet shall be complemented and enhanced
where infilling or new development occurs within the Hamlet Development Plan Area.
(v) The Town of Newcastle shall encourage and require tree planting and preservation through
the terms of subdivision agreements and development approvals, so that all areas are
provided with sufficient vegetation to maintain a high standard of amenity and appear-
ance.
(vi) In accordance with Section 10.4.1.6 of the Durham Regional Official Plan, all develop-
ment within the Hamlet Development Plan Area shall comply with the Agricultural Code
of Practice as amended from time to time.
9
0
(vii) The minimum lot size for new residential lots shall be approximately 0.5 ha (1.25 ac.)
and shall:
(a) meet the requirements of the Durham Health Unit as amended from time to time; and
(b) ensure that a reserve area is retained for the reconstruction of the tile field;
and
(c) that the proposed development shall not adversely affect adjacent wells and septic
tanks; and
(d) that no permanent structure, buildings, septic tanks or tile beds are located with-
in_ the area subject to development restrictions as designated on Schedule '1' .
(viii) No new development shall be permitted within those areas subject to development restric-
tions as delineated on Schedule '1' of this Plan.
3.3 COMMUNITY FACILITIES
At present the existing and proposed facilities are sufficient to meet presently identified
needs of the community. In fact, they provide a vital social focus for a community which extends beyond
the Hamlet and well into the surrounding rural area. Future development of the Hamlet, should reinforce
the vitality of the community and should also complement the community character. Further expansion of
community facilities, in line with needs, should be encouraged.
3.3.1 Policies
(i) In accordance with Section 10.4.1.1 of the Durham Regional Official Plan, areas desig-
nated as Community Facility on Schedule '1' , may be developed for community uses such
as minor community centres, places of worship, fraternal organizations, schools, post
offices, and parks. These uses may also be permitted within those areas designated
for infilling on Schedule '1' to this plan.
(ii) Prerequisite to further development occurring within the limits of the Hamlet Develop-
ment Plan Area, an adequate water storage for fire fighting purposes, shall be provided.
This shall be accomplished by the provision of reservoirs of cash contributions under
the terms of subdivision agreements or through cash contributions in the case of consents.
10
These reservoirs shall be provided on the basis of one for every seventy-five dwelling
units or less, and shall have a minimum capacity of 100,000 litres in accordance with
the Municipality's specifications.
3.4 COMMERCIAL
At present the only convenience commercial outlet within Tyrone is a general store. There
is one other commercial service located within the Hamlet, being a plumbing and heating repair service
operated from a residence and considered as a home occupation for the purposes of this plan. New de-
velopment shall be considered on their own merits, if and when such proposals are received.
3.4.1 Policies
(i) In accordance with Section 10.4.1.1 of the Durham Regional Official Plan, areas desig-
nated on Schedule '1' as commercial may also be developed for convenience commercial
uses which complement the character of the Hamlet. Convenience commercial uses may
be permitted to locate anywhere within the existing built up area or the area proposed
for infilling subject to suitable zoning and site plan controls, and without amendment
to this plan.
3.5 INDUSTRIAL
The only existing industrial use is a lumber mill located immediately west of the Hamlet.
The historic nature and character of this use complements the intent of this plan, and it should be
encouraged to continue and should possibly be consider for designation as a historic site.
3.5.1 Policies
(i) Notwithstanding Section 10.4.1.1 of the Durham Regional Official Plan, no further
industrial development shall be permitted within the Hamlet Development Plan Area.
3.6 ROADS
(i) No new lots shall be created except on roads which have a minimum road allowance width
of 20 m (66 ft.) and have been accepted for year-round maintenance by the Town of
11
Newcastle Works Department, and no new road shall intersect any existing road which
is less than 20 m (66 ft.) in width, and/or which does not meet the required standards
of the Public Works Department.
(ii) The proposed Highway 407 corridor may ultimately impact the Hamlet and this plan shall
be re-evaluated in that context once the alignment has been finalized.
(iii) In accordance with Section 10.4.1.3 of the Durham Regional Official Plan, the Hamlet
shall develop in depth rather than strips. To facilitate future in-depth development,
rights-of-way should be obtained at appropriate intervals to provide eventual access
to lots behind existing development. Wherever possible these rights-of-way shall be
obtained in the course of approving plans of subdivision and consents for land sever-
ances. -
3. 7 DEVELOPMENT RESTRICTIONS
It is recommended that watercourses and their related floodplains, hazard lands or environ-
mentally sensitive areas be retained in their natural state in order to provide both visual and physical
open space, and to preserve and protect them as sensitive to development. The Town of Newcastle shall
also endeavour to preserve and protect environmentally sensitive areas which may be situated outside of
the limits of designated Regional storm floodplains or Hazard Lands.
3.7.1 Policies
(i) Areas which are subject to Development Restrictions as designated on Schedule '1'
shall be used for agriculture and farm-related uses, conservation, reforestation,
public or private open space and recreational uses if compatible with their surroun-
ings and the particular site restrictions.
(ii) The areal extent of hazard lands and environmentally sensitive areas shall be accur-
ately defined in subsequent zoning by-laws in consultation with the Central Lake
Ontario Conservation Authority.
12
(iii) Building and/or Lot line setbacks, which may vary with on-site physical conditions,
may be required from the limits of Hazard Lands and/or environmentally sensitive
areas. Setback requirements shall be determined by the Town and Central Lake Ontario
Conservation Authority. In situations involving watercourses which will not be flood-
line mapped by a public or private agency; the Town shall, in future zoning by-laws and
in consultation with Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority impose minimum build-
ing setbacks from the centre line of said watercourse. This shall ensure a reasonable
degree of flood protection and provide for the potential of a continuous open space
network. Where new development is proposed on a site, part of which has been identified
as hazard lands or environmentally sensitive, the Town may or may not accept such lands
as park dedication, in accordance with adopted policy.
(iv) No permanent structures or buildings, septic tanks or tile beds shall be permitted within
areas subject to development restrictions as delineated on Schedule '1' .
3.8 SERVICING
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, prior to new development occurring, either
by subdivision or consent, the applicant(s) will be responsible for demonstrating, to the satisfaction
of the Town and the Durham Health Unit, the methods whereby sanitary sewage and storm run-off will be dealt
with in order to improve existing drainage, if necessary; and prevent possible contamination of wells.
13
4. IMPLEMENTATION
4.1
In accordance with Section 10.4.2.3 of the Durham Regional Official Plan, residential
development within the Hamlet Development Plan Area shall proceed by registered plan of subdivision
if the dedication of new roads is required. Where no new roads are involved land division may occur
by consent to a maximum of three lots.
4.2
In accordance with Section 10.4.2.4 of the Durham Regional Official Plan, an application
for development by registered plan of subdivision shall be accompanied by a detailed engineering re-
port based on test drilling which confirms:
(i) An adequate supply of potable water and soil conditions satisfaction for the
effective operation of a private waste disposal system; and
(ii) An adequate separation between water table and septic tile fields.
4.3
In accordance with Section 10.4.2.6 of the Durham Regional Official Plan, a monitoring pro-
gram shall be .carried out by the Region of Durham in consultation with the Town of Newcastle and the
Ministry of the Environment and shall include:
14
(i) An appraisal of the continuing availability of ground water supplies to the existing
residents as well as any depletion of the ground water aquifer which may be caused
by new development or otherwise; and
(ii) A sampling of the quality of the ground water supply with respect to any contamination.
4.4
The precise limits of the land use areas shall be delineated by the Restricted Area Zoning
By-law.
4.5
The Council of the Town of Newcastle may upon the advice of its Local Architectural Conser-
vation Advisory Committee define by by-law an area or areas within the Hamlet for study leading to
future designations as Heritage Conservation Districts.
i
15
INTERPRETATION
The boundaries between land uses as designated on Schedule '1' are approximate only
and are not intended as exact limits except where they coincide with major roads, railways, water
courses or other clearly recognizable physical features. Therefore, amendment to this plan will
not be required in order to' make minor adjustments to land use boundaries, provided the general
intent of the Plan is preserved.
