DELEGATIONS
Ms. N. Porteous-Koehle. WMI Waste Management of Canada Inc. re: Greater
Toronto Area Rail Haul
Ms. Porteous-Koehle introduced Mr. Robert Webb. Mr. Webb provided Council
with an overview of the proposal by WMX Technologies to haul Greater
Toronto Area waste by rail to a willing host municipality. Mr. Webb indicated
that municipalities would continue to control collection services, including the
tippage fees. Waste would be placed into containers at transfer terminals and
shipped to a willing host in Ohio. This site has a guaranteed capacity to accept
,GT A waste for the next twenty years. The corporation owns the site and most
permit procedures are in place such that the site would be ready by fall 1 996
to receive GT A waste. From an environmental perspective, he noted that the
site meets or exceeds Ontario standards. It will have a double lining plastic seal
and be built into dense clay to minimize leaching. It will have a leachate
collection system and waste water treatment facility. When it is finished, it will
be covered with a clay cap to seal the site and decommissioning activities will
be ongoing. He pointed out that both provincial opposition parties have
promised to scrap the Interim Waste Authority and the dump site proposed for
York Region. Thus, instead of the Province using tax dollars for capital
investment to create a local dump, the corporation would be prepared to
remove waste from the GT A area at a guaranteed fee for the next twenty
years.

Mr. Larry Dekkema. Dekkema Gervais Development Corporation re: Designation
of home under Heritage Act
Mr. Bert Dekkema addressed Report No. LACAC 94-007, noting that he
concurs with the recommendation that Ballymore farmhouse be designated
under the Ontario Heritage Act. He also addressed Report No. PL94-080-202
regarding Linblasco Investments Limited, pointing out that he appreciates the
concern with the safety issue and the upgrading of St. John's Sideroad.
However, he noted that the Region, in reconstructing the intersection with
Bayview Avenue, will upgrade a certain portion of the frontage. Thus, there
will be asphalt access along St. John's Sideroad, plus a second entrance on
Bayview Avenue. Accordingly, he requested Council to provide first reading to
the draft bill to implement the Zoning By-law Amendment and to direct Staff to
bring forward conditions for draft plan of subdivision approval in the near
future.

Hughes Management re: Stan jon Developments Limited Application D 14-44-89
Mr. Webb, solicitor, addressed Report No. PL94-080-202. He noted that there
were no new issues raised that had not been considered by Council on June 22,
1994. Accordingly, he requested Council to provide first and possibly second
reading to Bill 3560-94.D in order to signify that Council was satisfied with the
form and content of the development proposal. He also requested Council to
direct Staff to submit conditions for draft plan of subdivision approval at the
next available Council meeting.

Mrs, Trusler re: Development Application D14-03-94: 1035187 Ontario Ltd,.
14980 Yonge Street
Mrs. Trusler addressed Report No. PL94-077-201. She spoke on behalf of
residents in the vicinity of the application. She raised seven areas of concern
with the proposal, being noise, smell, vermin, garbage, traffic, loiterers, and the
impact on property values. Noting that her meetings with the applicant and it's
agent satisfied most of her concerns in connection with noise, smell, vermin
and garbage, she requested Council to ensure that traffic exiting the proposed
donut shop onto Ransom Street should be prevented from turning eastbound
by means of both signage and a curved driveway. With respect to loitering, she
pointed out problems she believes exist at a similar business nearby; however,
Aurora Council Minutes No. 24-94
Wednesday, July 27, 1994
Page 4
she indicated that the applicant has assured her that it will conduct its'
business in a manner that will preclude this activity. In addition, she requested
Council to consider restricting the hours of operation of the business and to
determine whether a more substantial fence for the area abutting residential
properties could be constructed. With regard to the question of impact on
property values, she asked Council to be vigilant in enforcement of its by-laws
to minimize the impact of this business upon the residential neighbourhood. She
concluded by thanking the Mayor and staff for their assistance in helping
residents to respond to the applicant's proposal.

CARRIED
Mr. Paul Sturino re: Development Application D14-03-94: 1035187 Ontario
Ltd .. 14980 Yonge Street
Mr. Sturino, agent for the applicant, noted that the applicant has worked along
with Staff and concerned residents to come up with design and technical
features that will make this proposal good for Aurora. He indicated general
agreement with the comments of Mrs. Trusler; however, he indicated that
construction of a curved driveway to prohibit eastbound traffic from the
development onto Ransom Street would negatively impact on access to the
proposal. Accordingly, he requested Council to require control signs, not a
curved driveway configuration. He indicated the owners' willingness to discuss
construction of a more substantial fence, but pointed out that restriction of
hours could have a significant financial impact.
