REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MEETING OF JULY 7, 1980.
REPORT NO. : P-123-80
SUBJECT: Request by Mr. Veltri for an Amendment to Sign
By-law - Veltri Complex, Bowmanville
Our File: 5.1
BACKGROUND:
A request has been made to Council for an amendment to the Sign
By-law of the Town of Newcastle to permit the erection of a group
identification sign in front of the Veltri Complex on King Street,
in the former Town of Bowmanville. This request has been referred
to the Planning and Development Committee for a recommendation.
A group identification sign, listing the uses and (or occupants
of a lot, is a permitted use in any Commercial Zone. However, the
Sign By-law requires that "no sign, other than a wall sign or a window
sign shall be located closer than 10 feet to any street line. The
applicant proposes to erect a free-standing sign in the planter in
front of the subject building; but because of the setback of the building
and the required orientation of the sign, the proposed sign would be
only 2.5 feet from the front lot line and would not comply with the
provisions of the Sign By-law.

COMMENTS:
Staff note that the parking garage in the basement of the building
on this lot extends between the front wall of the basement and the front
wall of the first floor of the building.
It appears that the ten foot setback requirement appears to have
been inserted to accommodate future road widenings. Since the proposed
sign will be set back further than the main wall of the parking garage
the requested reduction in setback would not circumvent the intent of
this section. For this reason, staff does not object to the proposed
location of the subject sign.
However, the sign proposed by the applicant has a total height
of 14.75 feet above the level of the planter in front of the building.
This planter is from 1 to 4 feet higher than the sidewalk elevation in
front of the building. It is the opinion of staff that a sign of the
height and mass proposed would be grossly out of scale with the rest of
the streetscape, and that the sign should be redesigned to provide a
maximum height of ten feet above the finished grade of the street abutting
the sign. The attached By-law permits the placement of a free-standing
sign on the site, to be located not less than 2.5 feet from the front lot
line, but restricts the maximum height of this sign to 10 feet above street
level.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is respectfully recommended:
. 1. That this report be received for information;
and
3 -
2. That the attached By-law 80- be forwarded to
Council for approval.
Respectfully submitted,

REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MEETING OF MARCH 3, 1980.
REPORT NO. : P-38-80
SUBJECT: Application for Rezoning Number Z-A-2-4-7
Queen Street, Bowmanville - Veltri & Son Limited
BACKGROUND:
The subject application requests an amendment to the Restricted
Area (Zoning) By-law of the former Town of Bowmanville to permit the
development of a 51 unit senior citizens apartment complex on a 24,500
square foot parcel of land situated on the north side of Queen Street
west of Temperance Street.
The proposal was circulated to various agencies for comments,
in accordance with adopted procedures, and the majority of the agencies
consulted did not object to the proposed rezoning.
However, comments received from the Region of Durham Planning
and Works Departments indicated that:
"With respect to Regional services, adequate municipal
water supply is available from the existing mains on
Queen Street. The existing sanitary sewer on Queen
Street, however, is operating under a surcharge situation
and does not have capacity to accommodate additional flow
at this time. The problem will be resolved upon construction
of the Rehder Avenue diversion sewer. The section from King
Street southerly to Spry Avenue, which will alleviate the �u
the problems with the Queen Street sewer, is scheduled for
construction in 1982. It appears, therefore, that actual
development of the property is premature until adequate ,
sewage capacity is provided."
2 -
Staff note that, because of this servicing problem, the
site has not been allocated residual sewage plant capacity by the
Town, and that sewage capacity for the proposed development will not
be available until the new sewage treatment plant has been completed.
In addition, the Durham Works Department has recently indicated that
the diversion sewer will not be completed until 1984.
COMMENT:
Because the subject site cannot be serviced for at least
four years, and because changing market conditions within the next
four years could necessitate major changes to the proposed development,
staff agrees with the staff of the Regional Municipality of Durham that
the approval of the subject application would be premature at this time.
It is suggested that the application be denied at this time, and that
the applicant be encouraged to resubmit an application if and when the
servicing problem has been resolved.
RECOMMENDATION:
i
F It is respectfully recommended:
`,✓��,� � 1. That this report be received for information;
That Application for Rezoning Number Z-A-2-4-7 be denied;
and
3. That the Regional Municipality of Durham be advised of the
actions of the Town of Newcastle in this regard.
