Mr. Graeme Davis, Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority advised Council of the
Annual Scout Canada Tree Plant to take place from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. on
Saturday, April 25, 1998. He stated that approximately 800 Scouts would be planting

Area in an attempt to enhance the currently distressed natural environment on the 10
acre site. Mayor Jones thanked the Scouts in advance for their initiative and Mr. Davis
for his assistance in this endeavour.
Scott Kirby, Director, Golf Development, ClubLink Corporation re:
Redevelopment Plans for the Aurora Golf and Country Club
(East Golf Course)
Mr. Kirby, Director of Golf Development for ClubLink Corporation stated that although
ClubLink itself is only 4 years old, it is currently the largest owner of golf courses in
Canada. He advised Council that ClubLink has retained one of Canada’s top architects
to assist in reconstructing the existing golf course with an objective of making it as safe
as possible. He outlined in detail the construction timetable, silt fencing areas, on-site
construction routes, and access points (mud mats) included in the Erosion Sediment
Control Plan for the former Aurora Highlands Golf Course. He explained that the
construction was divided into zones in an attempt to limit the impact on residences in
the vicinity to one specific zone at a time. It was indicated that each zone would be fully
completed before moving on to the next zone.
In response to questions from Council, Mr. Kirby advised that the chemical (Roundup)
that ClubLink proposes to use for killing grass in specific areas of the site has been
guaranteed by the manufacturer to be plant specific only and not harmful to animals or
humans. With regard to the proposed construction of a tunnel which would run
underneath Bathurst Street connecting the east and west courses, Mr. Kirby stated that
final approvals have not yet been provided. He also advised that ClubLink’s current
damage policy is in place to address liability claims and that several changes have been
incorporated into the design of the course to reduce the likelihood of such claims. He
assured Council that the policy would be circulated to the neighborhood in the near
future and that appropriate safety precautions for heavy equipment would be taken by
Aurora Council Minutes No. 15-98 Page 3
Wednesday, April 22, 1998
the contractor during the reconstruction of the golf course. With regard to the
movement of earth proposed for the lands which are not included as part of the course,
Mr. Kirby explained that it would be more convenient to prepare these lands for
redevelopment while reconstructing the golf course. Regarding the daily construction
schedule, Mr. Kirby agreed that it would be possible to delay the Saturday morning
construction starting time until 8:30 a.m. instead of 7:00 a.m. as set out in the Town’s
Noise By-law.

Ken Shuggart, Highlands Community Ratepayers’ Association re:
ClubLink’s Redevelopment Plans for the Aurora Golf and Country Club
(East Golf Course)
Mr. Shuggart, Member, Highlands Community Ratepayers’ Association advised Council
of the Association’s goals to protect the integrity of their neighborhood; to ensure that
the lifestyle which originally attracted them is not diminished; to safeguard their property
values, and to encourage ClubLink to solve the golf ball problem. Mr. Shuggart
expressed concerns regarding the unnecessary movement of large amounts of earth,
chemicals proposed to be used on the site for killing the grass; drainage problems; and
the need for immediate supervision or monitoring of the course. He also suggested the
possibility of allowing a delay in the construction activity in order to complete a peer
review. He stated that the Association recognizes and supports the need for the
construction of the proposed tunnel and parkland in the area. Mr. Shuggart concluded
his delegation by requesting that Council ensure that their interests were protected and
concerns were addressed; that the construction be delayed until a peer review was
conducted; and that the Association be allowed more time to review and provide input to
the Town’s Proposed Agreement for the Golf Course Reconstruction.
In response to the comments of the delegation, Mr. Kirby of ClubLink Corporation
thanked the Highlands Community Ratepayers’ Association for their comments and
agreed to work with them in an attempt to alleviate any concerns.
