DELEGATIONS
Bob Forhan, The Forhan Group re: Proposed Official Plan and
Zoning By-law Amendment for Elderberry Hill Farm
Yonge Street South
Mr. Bob Forhan of The Forhan Group introduced Mr. Jim Elder, the owner of Elderberry
Hill Farm and members of the Development Team who were in attendance at the
meeting. He showed a sketch of the proposed 20 acre parcel of land which is located
on the northwest corner of Yonge Street and Elderberry Trail. Mr. Forhan outlined the
supporting studies which were done to support the pending Official Plan and Zoning By-
law application due to be submitted to the Town. He provided an overview of the
Concept Plan of the development which would consist of a total of 300 housing units
comprising of 140 townhouses and 160 condominium apartments. The proposal is for
an adult-lifestyle, residential community on the property that protects the significant
woodlot in the southeast corner, and enhances the vegetative community through
appropriate planting and landscaping. Mr. Forhan informed Council that the policies of
Official Plan Amendment No. 17 permit such a development. He requested Council to
initiate the Secondary Plan work required to permit the proposed development. Mr.
Forhan concluded by indicating to Council that a community information meeting would
be held to obtain further public input prior to the Statutory Public Planning meeting, and
that they look forward to working with Council and Staff on the implementation of their
proposal.

CARRIED
Susan Walmer, Resident re: Elderberry Hill Farm Proposal
Ms. Susan Walmer, a representative of S.W.A.T. (South West Aurora Taxpayers) spoke
on behalf of the residents of the estate residential area of Elderberry Trail, Hunter’s
Glen and Ridge Road. She indicated that they strongly oppose the proposed
development on the Elderberry Hill Farm lands. She expressed concerns with the
density level proposed of 15 units per acre which in her opinion, is unacceptable to the
community and does not conform to either the Town Official Plan or the Regional
Official Plan. Ms. Walmer advised Council that there were concerns with the overall
density of the proposal, increased traffic at Yonge Street and Elderberry Trail, how the
site would be serviced, impact on recharge system, impact on the Oak Ridges Moraine,
and how the open space would be protected. She recommended that Council should
take a proactive stance and adopt the more stringent Draft Strategy for the Oak Ridges
Aurora Council Minutes No. 43-98 Page 3
Wednesday, December 16, 1998
Moraine for all current and future development plans presented to the Town. Ms.

application.

CARRIED
Bob McRoberts, Resident re: Status of Future
Drinking Water in the Town of Aurora
Mr. Bob McRoberts representing S.W.A.L.L.O.W. outlined a number of concerns of the
group remaining since the Region of York presentation to Aurora Council on November
19, 1998 reassuring Council and the residents of Aurora of the quality of Aurora’s future
drinking water. His questions included the need for the Region’s hosting public
information meetings; the need for additional reports/studies on Lake Ontario water;
why the Region did not respond to Council concerns about radioactivity in the Great
Lakes water; why the Region of York suggested that concerned citizens of Aurora have
only a sentimental attachment to their drinking water; why the need for fire prevention
was the most important reason for switching to Lake Ontario water and why some
consumer products now advertise “no aluminum”. The need to publicize the Region’s
public information meetings at the Town Hall and the need for the Town of Aurora and
Town of Newmarket to jointly formalize plans for the proposed water analysis were put
forward. A suggestion that the aquifer water could be used in the winter when the
demand is less, rather than Lake Ontario water be used in the winter as the Region
proposed was put forward, as an alternative use of Lake Ontario water for commercial
and industrial purpose was suggested. Mr. McRoberts urged Council to continue to
present their concerns at Regional Council to resolve outstanding issues regarding the
proposed introduction of Lake Ontario water.
