July 8, 1991
(a) Rosebridge Newcastle Inc. - Report PD-149-91
Cathie Percewicz, 19 Cherry ffiOfl8Olll Cres., Courtice, LlE 100, circulated
a letter dated July 8, 1991 to the Committee wherein she states that "our
main concern is that this development is not permitted to exceed the
already agreed upon height limit of 3 - 5 storeys." She further stated
that this development is not consistent with development in the adjacent
area; the proposed density is too heavily concentrated and suggested that
an 8' - 10' high concrete sound harrier be a requirement for the
development.
Noone spoke in favour of this application.
Henry Joseph, Joseph Rea1ty Consultants, 310 Glencairn Ave., Toronto,
M5N IT9, appeared on behalf of the applicant and dispJayed an Artist's
Rendering of the proposed CommerciaJ/Residential Development. He
also circulated "Site Statistics" for the proposal to Members of the
Committee. He advised that, although the Official Plan permits the
height of seven storeys, the building has been designed to a height of five
storeys. The setback of the building can accommodate a height of seven
storeys. The ground floor will be used for commercial purposes and the
remaining four storeys will be used for residential purposes. There will
be a neighbourhood park behind the building with a pedestrian walkway
into the development. The proposal has been designed to meet the
Ministry of Transportation of Ontario and the Town's requirements. All
necessary studies are ready to proceed.
(b) Walter Hale - Report PD-150-91
Noone spoke in opposition to or in favour of this application.
Irwin }f"rnili.on, Hamilton & 1\~ Barristers & Solicitors,
P.O. Box 39, 1 Division Street, BowmanvilJe, LIe 3K8, appeared on
behalf of the applicant to answer questions from the Committee.
(c) Bramalea Limited - Report PD-151-91
Diana G....nlffi..ltl, 631 Mill Street South, NewcastJe, LlB lL9, appeared
on behalf of Patricia MacDonnell of 60 Boulton Street and her own
family who have owned property at Bond Head for 70 and 50 years
respectively. She circulated a letter wherein she expresses that the
proposal is entirely unsuitable for Newcastle Village as it is a "city plan
with none of the advantages of country life." The following concerns
were noted:
- access to the beach is eliminated
- relocation of a sewage disposal plant is inappropriate
- the historic importance of Wilmot Creek
- development of this magnitude is too close to a wild life sanctuary
- adverse effect on density, traffic, taxes and waterfront.

She also circulated letters from DougJas I. Cronk, dated July 5, 1991
signed by J. A Wynn, Melanie and Roderick MacArthur, Genevieve
MacAulay, W. Isaacs, D. L. Wigmore and D. I. Cronk.
Gordon Carvetb, 612 Mill Street South, NewmstJe, LlB lLO, circulated a
letter dated July 8, 1991 to members of the Committee wherein he states
that this proposal is one of several proposals received since the '70's
when the Marina fll'st came into being. He objects to the proposal in its
present form. He referred to the quiet, scenic atmosphere which should
not be spoiled. He feels that this proposal presents a risk of vandalism
to the adjacent boat owners and that the developer is requesting a
density three times the amount permitted. He requested that the
developer meet with the alljacent residents so that the project can
proceed to frnition on a basis acceptable to all parties concerned. He
suggested that consideration be given to an overpass at the railway level
crossing with the road then curving eastwards in an arc over lands
owned by Bramalea, to rejoin Toronto Street west of the former
Ceresdale Plant. This proposal would alleviate the necessity for a far
more costly railway bridge replacement over Mill Street and also
eliminate the need for the Mill Street stop sign with its inherent dangers.
If this is not feasible he suggested the following:
1. Widen the proposed railway underpass to accommodate a north
bound yeild lane, similar to those on many Highway #401
interchanges, and eliminate the stop sign;
2. ensure the south bound pavement includes a signed "left turn" lane;
and
3. reduce the height of all buildings overlooking the Marina to a
maximum of three storeys.
Helen MacDonald, R.R.#1, NewtonvilJe, LOA lJO, advised that, although
she is not an area resident, she has general concerns pertaining to this
proposal which include:
" density and Jack of accessibility to the Jake front as she and her family
like to spend recreational time in the Town of Newcastle;
- she and her family must travel to Oshawa or Cobourg to enjoy the
Jakefront; and
- the adverse impact of the proposed new sewage treatment facility.
She requested that the Committee consider this application in
conjunction with the intent of the Crombie Commission and make the
waterfront accessible to the public.
Jack AIbeck, 626 Mill Street, N ewcastJe, LlB lL9, concurred with the
previous comments and made particuJar reference to his opposition to
density, Jack of educational facilities and water pollution.

E. Duncan, 27 Boulton Street, R.R.#8, NewcastJe, LlB lL9, circulated a
letter dated July 8, 1991 for the benefit of the Committee and articulated
agreement with the views previously expressed and made particular
mention of the density and population which this development will
generate. He noted that there are no high rise buildings on the
shoreline between Bowmanville and Port Hope. He stated that no
provision has been made for recreational facilities, i.e., baseha1l diamonds
and tennis courts and particularly for winter recreation. He informed
the Committee that the existing residents have spent a considerable
amount of money on a shoreline protection system.
Don Rogers, 579 Church Street, NewcastJe, LlB lC2, is a resident of
Church Street near the interchange at Highway 401. He questioned
whether this proposal will have an effect on the interchange at Highway
401 and the increased traffic which this development will generate. He
queried the effect the proposal will have on factories located on Toronto
Street and whether they will be precedent setting for future development
of properties in this area.
John Maynard, 8 Willow Court, NewcastJe, LlB lJO, circulated a letter
dated July 7, 1991, for the Committee's information, wherein he states
that he owns a permanent home in Newcastle Village and a summer
home at Bond Head. His concerns include:
- development of the natural habitat of an abundance of wild life
including birds and fish in both Wilmot and Graham Creeks; and
- an increase in land erosion problem, and the Jack of amenities available
in Newcastle Village to support the population which will be generated
by this development.
Eyylin Stroud, 89 Little Avenue, BowmanvilJe, LIC lJO, expressed strong
opposition to this development because the land is zoned Agricultural and
Environmentally Protected. She referred to Paragraph 11.5 of Report
PD-151-91 which states that: "Bramalea Ltd. proposes to fill in several
acres of Lake Ontario and construct a shoreline protection works for the
proposed public parkland along the waterfront." She stated that this is
not acceptable. She advised that agencies who must comment on the
application do not have to live in the Town of Newcastle and therefore,
do not have to suffer the consequences of the approval of this application.
She referred to a previous application made by Heritage Durham
Development Corporation in the former Township of Clarke which was
denied because of its location and encouraged Members of the Committee
to also deny this application.

Moved by Councillor Wotten, seconded by Mayor Hubbard
THAT the Committee recess for ten minutes.
"CARRIED"
The meeting reconvened at 11:05 a.m.
Noone spoke in support of this application.
Maureen McCawley, VICe-President, Brama1ea Ltd, 1867 Yonge Street,
Toronto, M4S lY5, advised that Bramalea Ltd. purchased, one year ago,
215 acres of land on this site of which 140 acres are developable and 37%
of this land will be transferred to the municipality for open space and
parkland purposes. Twelve acres will be newly created land to eliminate
erosion to the shoreline. She advised that the concept of the
development incorporates the recommendations of the Crombie
Commission. The proposal is the culmination of the expertise of a team
of nine consultants and incorporates engineering issues, traffic studies,
storm water management, shoreline protection and environmental
protection. She advised that the increased traffic flow generated by this
development will be in a north/south direction. The treatment plant will
not discharge into Wilmot Creek but will remain as it exists. She
advised that it is essential and of the utmost importance that area
residents have input into this project and that the developer is willing to
meet with municipal staff and the public regarding this proposal.
Phil Weinstein, presented a slide dispJay and advised that the developer
is willing to dedicate more than double the amount of land to the town
of N ewcastJe than that required by the PJanning Act. He stated that
there is presently no shoreline because of past erosion and that Bramalea
Ltd. will regrade from the Hydro Lines down to the water edge. The
proposal will consist of a 5 storey apartment building, detached dwellings
and townhouses. The development will be accessed by Toronto Street
and Mill Street which will be realigned and roads leading to the water
edge will be configurated in the traditional European fashion (housing,
road, promenade and water). He noted that the overall scheme will
generate approximately 4,300 persons, approximately 320 of which will be
school age children. The applicant is willing to hold as many public
meetings as will be required to address the concerns of the residents.
