Dear Sir:
Thank you very much for your recent letter to Newcastle
Council in respect of the purpose and activities of the Durham
Condominium Association. Town Council received your letter and
asked that I respond on their behalf.
At the moment, the Town of Newcastle is not considering any
new condominium proposals. In the past, the Town has accepted
and processed condominium applications in the same fashion as
plans of subdivision, whereby proposed plans are forwarded to
different government departments and agencies for review.
I think it would be very valuable for the Town to receive
conmients on new proposals directly from your association in light
of your everyday experience with condominium living. I look for-
ward to further discussions with you in that regard.
For your information, I have enclosed a copy of a recent
Ministry of Housing letter in respect of the processing of condo-
inii.nium developments which may be of interest to you. I also draw
your attention to a recent Ministry of Housing publication entitled
"Site Planning Guidelines for Medium Density Housing" which does
contain useful standards for play area design. The publication also
contains a useful bibliography.
