DELEGATIONS
Steve Mills, Building Committee Chair
re: Trinity Church Aurora Building Project
Mr. Mills introduced himself and stated his intent to discuss the issue of The Proposed
Zoning By-law Amendment outlined in planning report PL99-024-079, and a proposed
list of uses for the Rectory property at 44 Metcalfe St. Mr. Mills proceeded to show a
picture of the lands in question, pointing out the location of the new parking area. He
explained that there was enough room to allow for many uses, without being offensive
to the neighbours. Mr. Mills stated that the house on that property was built in 1862 and
costs $12,000 to $15,000 per year, to maintain. He expressed hope that the house
should be preserved as a civic landmark but the use of the building may not be
residential. It was stated that list of possible uses should give enough scope to maintain
the viability of this house, should it not be used as a family residence.
Mr. Mills expressed belief that the proposed uses for this land would not encroach on
traffic in this area, the uses are passive in nature and noted that several of the uses
could be tied in with Rectory activities. He was careful to point out that a medical clinic
is not on the list of suggested uses. Mr. Mills referred to several points in the Strategic
Plan supporting his comments and intentions and thanked the Mayor and members of
Council for their time.
#186. Moved by Councillor West Seconded by Councillor Morris
THAT comments of the delegate be referred report PL99-024-079 in the

Macklin Monaghan and Brutto Consulting, relinquished the Chair to Deputy Mayor West
and left the Council Chambers during the consideration of theses matters.
Marshall Macklin Monaghan re: Proposed Residential Development
Vandorf Sideroad (Sinclair Property)
Mr. Jamie Bennett, representing Vintage Developments stated his intention to urge
Council to exclude the development site on Vandorf Sideroad (Sinclair Property) from
the Secondary Plan Process. He stated that the request has been ongoing and that
several reports and delegations have already been presented to support this request. It
was illustrated, through a map of the land in question, that the two acre property is
isolated from other proposed development. Mr. Bennett expressed the opinion that
there is no need for a lengthy secondary plan process due to the fact that the property is
so small and the proposed 15 to 20 units on the property would not encroach on soft
services provided by the Town. He also stated that the existing infrastructure was on the
doorstep and the Secondary Plan Process would hold up development by 18 months to
2 years. Mr. Bennett concluded by asking
Council to revise the Terms of Reference for this Secondary Plan to exclude this
property.

Brutto Consulting Ltd. Re: Wycliffe/Diamond Official Plan & Rezoning
Amendment Applications Yonge Street South Urban Expansion
Secondary Plan Terms of Reference Staff Report
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 he has previously been before Council and
has presented and provided information supporting the request that this property
development be excluded from the Secondary Plan process. He indicated that their
project would consist of a total of 150 town house units. He indicated surprise that the
site was still to be included with the Secondary Plan, pointing out that other development
lands included in the same plan were over two miles away. He also expressed the
opinion that none of the other properties considered for the Secondary Plan had anything
in common with the property in question. Mr. Brutto indicated that he was open to a
deferral of this issue in order to further discuss the details of this request later on in the
agenda, and suggested that he would be happy to answer any questions to assist in the
further debate of this issue.
