(416)263.2231 REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MEETING OF MARCH 3, 1980. REPORT NO. : P-37-80 SUBJECT: Application for Rezoning Number Z-A-2-4-8 King Street, Bowmanville - James Chow BACKGROUND: An application has been submitted requesting an amendment to the Restricted Area (Zoning) By-law of the former Town of Bowman- ville to permit the development of an 1800 square foot take-out rest- aurant on a 1.69 acre parcel situated at the south-west corner of King Street and Queen Street in Bowmanville. The proposal was circulated to the appropriate commenting agencies, in accordance with adopted procedures, and two main areas of concern were identified as a result of this process. Both the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority and the Newcastle Building Department have expressed concern about the fact that a considerable amount of fill has been placed on the subject lot in the past, and have requested detailed soils investigation prior to the approval of any development on the site. The major constraint to the development of the site is summarized in the comments submitted by the Durham Works and Planning Departments: u ,f" - 2 - "With respect to Regional services, be advised that there are existing watermains and sanitary sewers abutting the Queen Street frontage of the subject property. However, the existing sanitary sewers on Queen Street are operating under surcharge and the necessary capacity is not avail- able to the subject proposal until the Bowmanville Creek diversion is constructed to alleviate the present surcharge condition. Said diversion sewer is scheduled for construction in 1984. Therefore, any proposed development on this site is premature at the present time due to servicing constraints." COMMENTS: Because the site would not be connected to the municipal sewage system for at least four years, and because changing market conditions could significantly alter the form of the proposed development, staff agrees with the Region's position that the proposed development is pre- mature, and submits that further consideration of the proposal is not warranted at this time, pending satisfactory resolution of the servicing problem. It is also noted that Section 8.2.3.2 of the Durham Official Plan stipulates that "Central Areas shall be fully serviced by municipal water and sewage systems, and that this shall be a necessary condition before development in Central Areas is permitted." At such time as sanitary sewer services are available to the site, the applicant should be encouraged to commission the required engineering report and resubmit an application for rezoning for the site. RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully recommended: 1. That this report be received for information; 2. That Application for Rezoning Number Z-A-2-4-8 be denied; and 3 - 3. That the Regional Municipality of Durham be advised of the actions of the Town of Newcastle in this regard. Respectfully submitted, NJF:lb D. N. Smith, M.C.I.P.
