Proposed Minor Expansion

INFORMATION FOR THE RESIDENTS OF HAMPTON
REGARDING: PROPOSED MINOR EXPANSION
PART OF LOT 15, CONCESSION 5
(Ormiston Street)
HAMLET OF HAMPTON
MUNICIPALTY OF CLARINGTON

The owners of the properties on the north side of Ormiston Street (directly across from Hampton Public Elementary School) in Hampton have recently applied to the Municipality of Clarington to create 8 residential lots fronting on the existing Street.

All lots are approximately 1 acre in size and have various road frontages between 132 and 203 feet. Each lot is proposed to be serviced by an individual well and septic system. The proposed homes on the lots are intended to be designed and built to compliment the existing residential uses on Ormiston Street and to incorporate elements of design, which are representative of the old villages architectural elements.

A number of studies have been conducted to support the creation of the residential lots. The supporting reports include:

(i) Hydrogeological Assessment, Goffco Limited;
» Included 3 drilled wells and 20 test pits and monitored existing wells in the area.
» The conclusions in this report indicate that the property could easily sustain the proposed 8 lots and cause no adverse impact on the water quality or quantity of adjacent residential uses.
(ii) Environmental Assessment, Terra Geographical Studies Inc.
» The 8 lots will be located in the agricultural field which is an area which has little or very limited biological significance.
(iii) Stormwater Drainage Report (includes Preliminary Lot Grading and Site Servicing
Plan), D.G. Biddle & Associates
» Post-development flows will be reduced 65% along the ditches of Ormiston due to the inclusion of a 1.5m wider ditch and the inclusion of roof-water recharge chambers in the proposed development. All other drainage patterns off the property are unchanged.

Hampton is a desirable location in which to live and this proposed development is intended to further enhance the community and the long-term property values in the area. Please note that this is preliminary information regarding the development. In the next few months, the Municipality of Clarington will provide official notices as part of the development application process. In the meantime, if you have any comments, suggestions or questions, please don't hesitate to call.
