Background Page 3 2.1 The (H) Holding provision on the subject property has been in place since the adoption of Zoning By-law 84-63 in 1984. 2.2 On December 17, 1992, GenerX Inc. and Ellis -Don Design Build Inc. entered into a development agreement with the Corporation of the Town of Newcastle to permit the development of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Bowmanville Detachment Building. The (H) Holding Symbol was not removed at this time because the proposed building was a "Public Use" under Zoning By-law 84-63. 2.3 Strategic Property Management submitted an application on October 10, 2017 requesting that the Holding (H) Symbol be removed from Registered Plan 40R-114408 Part 2. The owner and applicant are marketing the property. At this time there is no new proposed use or tenant for the property. The removal of the (H) Symbol is required for the owner to utilize the site for a commercial purpose. 3. Comments 3.1 In 1992, the Municipality of Clarington took the following road widenings through the site plan agreement with GenerX Inc. and Ellis -Don Design Build Inc.: x a 5 metre by 5 metre sight triangle at the northwest corner of the property (intersection of Baseline Road West and Martin Road), and x 5.18 metres along the Baseline Road West frontage. 3.2 As a condition of lifting the holding (H) symbol, staff requested that the current road widening standard be applied. To meet current Municipal standards, the following additional road widenings are required: x 2.82 metres road widening along the Baseline Road West frontage, x a 7 metre by 14 metre sight triangle at the northwest corner of the property (intersection of Baseline Road West and Martin Road), and x a 5 metre by 5 metre sight triangle at the southwest corner of the property (intersection of Spicer Square and Martin Road). 3.3 The applicant has agreed to the road widenings as shown in Figure 2. This requires the registration of a new reference plan and an amendment of the existing development agreement. There are existing landscape strips and trees in the widening areas but they would remain with the exception of any trees in the site triangle.

Subject to the road widening, there is no outstanding reason for the Holding (H) symbol to remain on the property. 3.5 All property taxes have been paid in full. 4. Concurrence Not applicable. 5. Conclusion In consideration of the comments noted above, the "Holding (H)" symbol be removed from 415 Baseline Road West. 6. Strategic Plan Application Not applicable.
