"CARRIED" Pursuant to Section 34, Subsection 12 of the Planning Act, the Town of Newcastle Council, through its General Purpose and Administration Committee, is holding a Public Meeting for the following applications: (a) Proposed Rezoning and Neighbourhood Plan Amendment Applications - Rick Gay - Part Lots 29 and 30, Concession 2, former Township of Darlington; G.P.& A Minutes . PUBLIC MEETINGS CONT'D. - 2 - May 3, 1993 (b) Proposed Rezoning Application - Wayne Chaskavich - Part Lot 24, Concession 2, former Township of Darlington; and (c) Proposed Rezoning Application - Simkins Homes - Part Lot 35, Concession 3, former Township of Darlington. Before proceeding with this matter, the Chairman asked the Deputy Clerk to advise on the manner of notice. The Deputy Clerk advised that public notices for all rezoning applications were sent by first class mail on or before April 2, 1993 to all property owners within 120 metres of the subject property in accordance to the latest municipal assessment record. In addition, notices were also posted on sites prior to April 2, 1993. This notice procedure is in compliance to Ontario Regulation 404/83. The Chairman announced that all persons wishing further notice of the passage of the by-laws should leave their name, address and telephone number with the Clerk's Department. . The Chairman announced that the Director of Planning and Development would describe the purpose and effect of the proposed amendments, then the objectors would be heard, followed by the supporters and the applicants. (a) Rick Gay - Report PD-70-93 - the purpose and effect of this application is: to amend the Town of Newcastle Official Plan to change the designation from residential to permit the creation of a commercial plasa consisting of 2300 m floor space; to amend the Zoning By-law to change the zone category from "holding urban Residential Type One ((H)Rl)" to a commercial zone appropriate to permit the proposed use; and to amend the N eighbourhood Plan to change the Residential designation to a designation appropriate to permit the proposed use. Noone spoke in opposition to or in support of this application. Ron Worboy, 153 Simcoe Street North, Oshawa, LlH 7K8, appeared on behalf of Rick Gay and advised that the applicant is willing to co-operate with Mr. Jeffery and Mr. Habninen in the development of this 2300 m2 commercial plasa. The applicant has attempted to satisfy the planning concerns by retaining the architectural value of the house which will be the focal point of the plaza. He requested that the retail impact study, which is required only if the commercial area is more than 2500 m2, be waived in this instance. . G.P.& A Minutes . PUBLIC MEETINGS CONT'D. - 3- May 3, 1993 (b) Wayne Chaskavich - Report PD-71-93 - the purpose and effect of this application is to amend the Zoning By-law from "Agricultural (A)" to an appropriate zone that would permit the creation of one (1) single family dwelling lot through land severance. Noone spoke in opposition to or in support of this application. Ron Worboy, 153 Simcoe Street North, Oshawa, LlH 7K8, appeared on behalf of Wayne Chaskavich and noted concurrence with the recommendations contained in Report PD-71-93. He made specific reference to dialogue being pursued regarding the rural cluster. (c) Simkins Homes - Report PD-72-93 - the purpose and effect of this application is to amend the zoning by-law from "Agricultural (A)" to an appropriate residential zone that would permit five (5) single family dwelling lots. . . Dan Lawson, 1440 Nash Road, Courtice, LlE 2Kl, advised that he has resided west of the subject property since August, 1983. He expressed opposition to the proposal for the following reasons: 1. There is a row of 35-year old cedar trees - 130' in length which would be damaged or destroyed if construction of the homes is allowed. The trees provide a wind-break, shade and act as a sound harrier. He has maintained these trees for the past 9 years for Mr. Stark, the previous owner of the property. The drainage has been altered because of the construction of the road and therefore he has serious concerns that construction will cause water run-off on his land. He has taken corrective measures to remedy the present situation which, he feels, will worsen if these homes are built. The small size of the lots are conducive to the erection of single car driveways. This will lead to cars being parked on the road and will be hazardous to school children who attend S. T . Worden school which is located nearby. Mr. Lawson requested that, if construction of the homes is allowed, the developer be requested to construct a privacy fence to replace the chain link fence presently in place. 2. 3. 4. Noone spoke in support of this application. Terry Sin>lrino., Simkins Homes, 18 Prince Rupert Drive, Courtice, LlE 1Z5 - advised that he has dialogued with Mr. Lawson and will attempt to save as many trees as possible. The homes will have a set- back of 25' which will not alter the grading or elevation and not affect the drainage to surrounding properties. The houses will have a garage and double driveway to adequately address the parking requirements. G.P.& A Minutes . DELEGATIONS . . - 4- May 3, 1993 (a) Don Logie, VICe Pr-iilPnt, Development, Shopping Centres Group, Markborough Properties Inc.., 1 Dundas Street West, Suite 2800, Toronto, MOO 2J2 - appeared on behalf of J. Davies regarding Report PD-60-93 and circulated a letter dated April 29, 1993 including site plans for Canadian Tire and the Bowmanville Centre. He delved into the historical background of these applications and stated that: "Phase II: Development Options Report" prepared by Berridge, Lewinberg, Greenberg...completely ignores our comments and their concept would render our project unfeasible"... He advised that Scenario No.2 - The Grid System will not allow the visibility needed from Highway 2 and the ease of pedestrian movement required to link the stores in the shopping centre. He reiterated in his correspondence that: "the adoption of the Berridge, Lewinberg, Greenberg plan would be the end of our project". He requested that members of the Committee direct staff to uphold the decision of the previous Committee as it relates to their proposal, approve this site for the 230,000 sq. ft. development envisioned in OffICial Plan Amendment No. 40 and proceed forthwith in the drafting of a zoning by-law and site plan agreement for this site. He expressed his willingness to work and co-operate with Members of Council, members of Staff and the Business Improvement Area membership. (b) Frank McGurk, Zeller's, 401 Bay Street, Suite 600, Toronto, M5H 2Y4- addressed Committee with respect to Report PD-60-93 and advised that there are presently 274 department stores located across Canada and Zeller's is the No.1 department store. Zeller's has signed a fu-m agreement with Markborough Properties Inc. and West Bowmanville Developments for the construction of a 70,000 sq. ft. store in the Bowmanville area because this location has proven to be a desirable market area. He referred to Scenario #2 - The Grid System as being an "out of date" method of retailing. Zeller's has closed most of its downtown locations because they were unprofitable. Market studies have indicated and proven that customers need high visibility of the store and parking in close vicinity. Zeller's cannot agree to a road system which would dissect the site and would have no option but to terminate the contract if the grid system is approved. Zeller's would be willing to pursue dialogue pertaining to the erection of small buildings to shield/bide the parking lot from Highway 2. (c) Norm Kane, C...nRm..n Tire Corp. Associate Store, 2401 Highway #2, Bowmanville, LIC 4V 4, addressed Committee with respect ot Report PD-60-93 and expressed support for the proposal made by Markborough Properties Inc./West Bowmanville Developments and a shopping mall. Since the relocation of the Canadian Tire store from the downtown core to the present site, representation of clients from the downtown has increased from 49% to 63% and representation from the rural area has increased from 49.8% to 70.3%. He advised that the CRnRiI;Rn Tire store would "disappear" under Scenario #2 because the visibility of the store from Highway 2 would be lost. He advised that the erection of a shopping plaza would create "one stop shopping" which is what the customers want. G.P.& A Minutes . DELEGATIONS CONT'D. - 5 . May 3, 1993 Resolution #GPA-290-93 Moved by Councillor Dreslinski, seconded by Councillor Scott THAT the Committee recess for ten minutes. "CARRIED" The meeting reconvened at 11:00 am. (d) Ron Strike, on behalf of Ghods Builders, P.O. Box 7, BowmanviIle, LIe 3Ka, addressed the Committee with respect to Report PD-60-93 and advised that his client has serious difficulties with Scenario #2 - The Grid System but is willing to co-operate and compromise. He expressed the following concerns: I. The road pattern system would fragment the area and create a fmancially unfeasible situation. His client would be willing to consider full pedestrian and bicycle access. Various zoning designations, i.e., mixed residential, office use, etc., if approved, would lead to the site being vacant for a long time. The present use should be commercial with phasing in of other uses in due course. His client supports some aspects of phasing of zoning which should focus on uses which are not directly competitive with the downtown core. His client supports full dialogue with Members of Council, Staff and other developers. 2. . 3. (e) John Kazmerouski, on behalf ofMcDonalds ()onRrlR, P.O. Box 7, Bowmanville, LIC 3K8, addressed the Committee with respect to Report PD-60-93 and advised members of the Committee that four years of marketing studies indicate that the best marketing location is the southwest corner of Martin Road and Highway #2. The elimination of full access to and from Martin Road to Highway #2 would be disastrous to McDonalds. McDonalds would like to see commercial development surrounding its site. (I) Herb Green, Bowmanville Mal1, c/o D.M. Consultants, 8308 Bathurst Street, Box 936, Thornhill, L3T 4A5, addressed the Committee with respect to Report PD-60-93 and advised that, pending the consultant's report on numbers, it is diffICult to make a comment. However, he advised that any development larger than 230,000 sq. ft. would devastate the downtown area . (g) Bryce Jordan, G.M. Sernas & J\........u.t.es, 110 Scotia Crt., Unit 41, Whitby, LlN 8Y7, addressed the Committee with respect to Report PD- 60-93 and reiterated his client, Jose Ibanez's, concerns and desire for a commercial designation on the five acre parcel which is located adjacent to the Markborough Properties. His client is willing to co-operate towards a short and long term solution. G.P.& A Minutes . DELEGATIONS CONT'D. - 6- May 3, 1993 (h) Hannu H..lminen, 1748 "'_....0 Road West, Courtice, LlE 2T1, expressed concurrence with the recommendations contained in Report PD.75-93 and made specific reference to his support for members of Staff being allowed to make minor changes to the core agreement from time to time to expedite the process. (i) Mario Veltri, 1038 Pinetree Court, Oshawa, LlK 1P4 - was called but was not present. G) Reg Armoyan, 1280 Finch Avenue West, Suite 710, Downsview, M3J 3K6, appeared on behalf of George Armoyan and concurred with Mr. Halminen's remarks and with the recommendations contained in Report PD-75-93. Councillor Novak made a declaration of interest with respect to Report PD.77-93; vacated her chair and refrained from discussion and voting on the subject matter.

He advised that the developing residential character of the 160 acre area is evident by the existing residential strip development along the west side of Trulls Road, the existing Timberlane Court estate residential development south of Pebblestone Road just east of Farewell Creek, the existing and strip residential development along the Tooley Road corridor just west of Farewell Creek and the urban residential development occurring in Courtice North Neighbourhood 3A to the south. He referred to the undeveloped vacant area in the centre of this existing residential development as being the "hole in a doughnut". He advised that the Gibson Report which bas been prepared, indicates that the development of this living area is expected to have no discernable quantative impact on the base flow received by Farewell Creek or the two seasonally intermittent watercourses located on the site. In April, 1993, Ecoplans Limited completed a comprehensive preliminary environmental overview of the area which coml1"lllS that the living area could be developed if the Farewell Creek Valley and the southern intermittent tributary were protected. D.G. Biddle and Associates also completed a comprehensive conceptual servicing report for the Farewell Creek community living area and adjacent lands to the south, namely, the northern portion of Courtice North Neighbourhood 3A He also informed the Committee the necessary sanitary and watertrunks to service this whole area are now in place. He requested that the General Purpose and Administration Committee: . I. ComJrm the living area designation in the new Regional Official Plan; Reject a special study area designation for Courtice North; and Reject Staff's recommendation to not even consider Courtice North within the timeframe of the new Regional Official Plan. 2. 3. . . .
