DELEGATIONS
Claudio Brutto, Brutto Consulting re: Wycliffe Homes/
Diamond Homestead Development Proposal on
Vandorf Road (next to Beacon Hall)
Mr. Claudio Brutto of Brutto Land Management Consulting Limited spoke on behalf of
his clients, Wycliffe Homes and Dr. Arthur Diamond regarding their development
proposal on the south side of Vandorf Road. He stated that Wycliffe Homes is noted for
their high quality and distinguished neighbourhoods. The Steeplechase and the
Hazelburn subdivisions were identified as examples of their work previously undertaken.
Mr. Brutto showed a sketch of the 50 acre parcel of land on the south side of Vandorf
Road, which he stated is the last infill development piece on Vandorf Road. He
indicated that their project would consist of a total of 150 units comprised of 30 blocks of
freehold townhomes. The development would be of the highest architectural standards.
There would be access to this development from Vandorf Road and also the Fernbrook
Development. The tributary of the Holland River traverses the property. Their intent is
to preserve 40% of the properties present open space character. Mr. Brutto advised
that a public information community meeting would be conducted for interested
residents, and that they look forward to the review of the proposal through the Public
Planning process in the next several months.

Dennis Collins, Chair - Aurora Public Library Board
re: Joint Library Expansion Committee Report
JLEC99-001 - Library Facility Expansion Project
Mr. Dennis Collins spoke on behalf of the Aurora Public Library Board regarding the
recommendations contained in the Joint Library Expansion Committee Report
requesting Council to approve the expansion of the Library at its present site. He
advised Council that this concept was approved in principle by the previous Council and
has received enthusiastic public approval. The only question that was asked was when
would it be built. Mr. Collins provided an overview of the Needs Assessment Study for
the Library conducted in 1991, and reviewed in detail the mandate and
recommendations of the Library Facility Review Committee accomplished during the
previous term of Council. In 1998 a new Library Facility Expansion Committee was
established to review the work previously submitted and to look at 2 additional potential
sites. Council was advised that the recommendations of the new Committee on the
Library expansion are the same as the first Committee. He stated that Council’s
initiative in successfully acquiring additional property will resolve parking concerns in
this area. This proposal will offer the benefit of revitalizing and preserving one of the
Town’s most significant heritage buildings, the Church Street School and is aligned with
the Town’s Strategic Plan. This project will be the first jewel in the Crown and the area
will become the cultural and leisure focal point of Aurora.
Council was advised that the present Library is overcrowded and inadequate in every
way and that it cannot serve Aurora’s growing population. The challenges presented by
new information technology cannot be adequately addressed in the present facility.
Requests have been received by patrons for improved access to this new technology.
Mr. Collins indicated that the time for further study, discussion or deferral has ended.
Council was informed that the Library Board unanimously affirmed the
recommendations of the Joint Library Expansion Committee and reaffirmed their
commitment to a fundraising campaign that would target 20% of the building costs. He
concluded that the Library Board requested Council’s endorsement to proceed with
Aurora Council Minutes No. 06-99 Page 3
Wednesday, February 24, 1999
creating a Library facility that would serve as a cultural and leisure resource of which all
can be proud.
#117. Moved by Councillor West Seconded by Councillor Hartwell
THAT the comments of the delegate be referred for consideration with
Report JLEC99-001.
CARRIED
John McIntyre, Former Chair of LACAC & Museum Committee
re: Proposed Library Facility Expansion Project
Mr. John McIntyre spoke regarding concerns expressed that joining the new library with
the historic Church Street School will lead to a “second class” facility. He informed
Council that he has had the opportunity to visit and study projects across Canada and
the United States wherein new facilities have been successfully integrated with old
facilities. These projects have created a level of interest and excitement that a new
facility by itself could not. In many instances, they have helped lead to urban renewal
and a revitalization of the communities they serve. Mr. Mcintyre indicated that the
proposed library facility expansion project meets all the criteria of Aurora’s Official Plan
and Strategic Plan. It furthers the Town’s desire to maintain the historic core of Aurora
as the vital centre of the community. It provides an example of the adaptive reuse of
older buildings. He then showed slides of adaptive reuse of older buildings and their
linkage to modern structures in Ontario and the Unites States.
Mr. McIntyre stated that this proposal would make Aurora community museum and
archives accessible to the public. It will open up new possibilities for joint programming
and links the museum’s large collection of local archives and reference materials to the
library’s own holdings. He indicated that this proposal is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity
to create a Library Square which will incorporate a building which has been plaqued by
the government of Ontario as one of the Province’s finest remaining public buildings
from the late Victorian period. He concluded that the time is right for this project, and
hope Council will unanimously support the recommendations tabled tonight.
