REPORT 1 .0 ATTACHMENTS No. 1 : Key Map No. 2: Report PD-126-92 dated June 1 , 1992 2.0 BACKGROUND 2.1 Building Permit I Mr. and Mrs. VanDorp want to build a house on the west side of Lettner Road in a location more or less as shown on Attachment No. I . The problem ii RECYCL PAPE. E-CLE IHS IS PHttIED GN HEGY-D PAPER REPORT NO. : WD-15-95 PAGE 2 is that the property in question does not front onto an improved public road and the Zoning By-law requires that before a Building Permit can be obtained the property must have a minimum of one hundred (100) feet of frontage on an improved public road. 3.0 REVIEW AND COMMENT 3.1 Disagreement on the Extent of Work A visual inspection of the road indicates that the road should be improved from a point on the north side of an existing driveway on the east side of Lettner Road, northerly to the south limits of the VanDorp property, and a further one hundred (100) feet northerly to provide for the minimum one hundred (100) feet of frontage. Also, whenever a request is made to extend a dead-end road, the requirement is that a turnaround be constructed to facilitate the plowing of the roadway and the turning around of other vehicles, such as garbage trucks and recycling trucks. Mr. and Mrs. VanDorp disagree with the extent of the work and have been advised that, if they want to dispute the issue, they should appear as a delegation before Committee. 3.2 Cost Estimate The estimated cost of the work is based on a visual inspection of the road. It is possible that, once we commence construction, we may find that the cost will be considerably less than the $20,000 estimate. The only way that we can define the cost estimate is to dig some holes to determine the structure of the road base. It is not felt that this procedure is warranted for this type of work. In order to provide some comfort to Henk and Beatrice VanDorp, it is recommended that the cost to them will not be more than $20,000. Respectfully submitted, Reviewed by, i Walter Evans, P.Eng. W. H.

THAT Report PD-136-92 be received; 2 . THAT the request submitted by Mr. Irwin Hamilton on behalf of Mr. and Mrs. VanDorp to request the Town to convey to his client the 0. 3 metre reserve, described as part 3, 1OR-1118, be APPROVED subject to all costs related to the legal conveyance be borne by the VanDorp's; and 3. THAT Mr. & Mrs. VanDorp be advised of Council's actions. 1. BACKGROUND 1. 1 In January of 1992, Staff received a request from Mr. Irwin Hamilton on behalf of Mr. & Mrs. VanDorp requesting the lifting of a 0.3 m reserve along the eastern edge of the VanDorp property fronting on Lettner Road. (See sketch attached) 1.2 The 0.3 m reserve and the subject lands (60 ha) were created through a land severance application (LD 081/80) , by the then owners, Ralph and Judith Hill. Said severance was approved by the Land Division Committee in February of 1980, as a severance of a 60 ha (148 acre) parcel for the purpose of "farm consolidation" , while retaining a 4 . 0 ha (10 acre) parcel containing a residence and farm buildings. The approval was granted conditional upon a one foot (0.3 m) ATTACHMENT N0 . 2 . . . . 2 h 0 WD- 15-95 rr r.^e 1r'rriN r 11®vli(fl I•n1Y 11 REPORT NO. PD-136-92 PAGE 2 reserve being dedicated to the Town and Region along their respective road frontages. 1.3 The 0. 3 m reserves were placed on the severed parcel, which was subsequently transferred to the VanDorp's, to ensure no further building permits would be issued on the severed lands. However, in 1988, the VanDorp's applied to the Land Division Committee for approval to sever a retirement lot fronting on Regional Road # 57 from the 60 ha parcel. The application was denied as a result of the existence of the 0.3 m reserve and Regional Council's refusal to remove same. In the spring of 1989 the VanDorp's approached Town Council with a similar request to lift the 0. 3 m reserve along Concession Road 7, their southern boundary (Part 10, 1OR-1118) . Council approved the request at their meeting of July 11, 1989 in effect allowing further access and building permit ability to the subject property. The VanDorp's received Land Division Committee approval for the creation of a retirement lot on November 25, 1991. 2 . COMMENTS 2. 1 The request before Council at this time is to have the remaining 0.3 m reserve on Lettner Road (Part 3, IOR-1118) conveyed to the VanDorp's. Part 3 of 1OR-1118 is on the west side of Lettner Road at the eastern boundary of the VanDorp's property. Public Works Department Staff have reviewed the i issue of access to the site and have no objection to the removal of the 0.3 m reserve, however they note any future access points are subject to their approval and permit issuance as per Town policy. 2 .2 PlanningStaff objected to the � original request for removal i of 0. 3 m reserve on Concession Road 7 (Part 10, 1OR-1118) in July of 1989. However, since Council has agreed to transfer . . . .3 } X0 ` 1 i REPORT NO. PD-136-92 PAGE 3 the 0. 3 m reserve along Concession Road 7, to the VanDorp's, they now have clear access to the land and may obtain further building permit or land severance in accordance with the Durham Region Official Plan policies and the Town's Zoning By- law. Therefore the necessity of a 0.3 m reserve along Lettner Road is now irrelevant. In consideration of these comments, Staff have no objection to the transfer of part 3, IOR-1118 to the VanDorp's at no cost to the Town.
