Cc''"~:.-, ~ . ., Eling1-rorth read the following brief
Reference is made to minutes of Council dated April 18th.l966 in
which a Notice of Motion vias presented to define "Single Family etc"
It is ~uite evident in view of subse~uent events as regards side yarfs
in residential areas, acessory buildings, attached garages, attached
garges with living ~uarters above, converted dwellings, etc, that our
Residential By-·law 1051 requires sb!he amendments. This is understood
when it is realized that By-law 1051 was approved in 1950 and ,last
amendment was Januarv 3rd.l966. When the Zoning By-law is final~r
approved , By-law 1051 and all it amendments will be repealed.
However, in the interval, there is an urgent need for By-law 1051
to be brought up to date.
With Council's permission, 1 would like to withdraw my Notice of
Motion as presented April 18th.l966 and to advise that a proposer'.
revision to By-law 1051 is in preparation and will be submitted ;,.:
Planning Committee for study within the next 2 or 3 weeks . It L
hoped that· such revision will clarify many of the settions that ~f
now open to misinterpration.and will fill the requirements until
the Zoning By-law is in effect.
Councillor Trent asked what had happened to the Fire REport
Mayor Davis said that the report had been handed to the Fire Committee
for study.
Councillor Davis reported that the Fire Committee had been unable to
set a date for a meeting because members of the Com.mittee were tied
up.

Councillor Trent said that last year he was Cha:l.rm&i of Parks Committee; and there
was so much to be done it is . almost imsurmountable. The parks have been badly neglepte4

decide how it should be spent.: The Parkll can be improved ever a period of years,
In the winter there is equipmeint to be maintained and built and a man could be

PARKS KEEPER TO BE HIRED
Councillor Davis said that he dould see the need for a consultant but that he
couldn't see how he could be used in the winter.
Councillor Corbett asked if it would be fair to hire a man for only six months.
He couldn't see what the man would do in the winter.
Councillor Tieent said that .Councillor Corbett was l',te who agreed with this
before and he thought the Councillor had outlined some ideas of ;rhat could be done
in the winter. He would lik~ to see flowers in the parks, and the man could start
a greenhouse. There is a lot to be done in the winter.

In Council minutes of November 19665 the questions of which roads had or had not been
assumed by the Town hac been referred to the Works Committee. This was probably
unfair, and it should have been referred to the Town Solicitor. The Town has become
responsibile for some roads which are not officially assumed by doing work on them.

"Resolved that the question of which roads have been assumEOd
be referred to the Town Solicitor."

I feel the time has come to assess the air pollution problem in the Town of Atiro~a. It
is a known fact that we have a pollution problem at our Sewage Plant due to our
sewage plant's incapability to handle the present sewage. I can not image an:~~one
drinking from the stream in its present conditiqn. T!),ereifore I ask you,does it not
.stand to reason that people who would not drink from the contaminated stream, why they
should 'they be expected to breathe polluted afr.

REAL lCS'l'ATE
HAPPENINGS
LITTERING
9 ' May 10,1966
Councillor Murray repQ;rted. that eiOiriething is happening _in
real estate in Town. No local realtors are irii/'olv'ed. hut
some realtors are en:f'orcing the fine print in the offer' to
purphase and. collecting commissions -everi if the d.ee.l falls
through. He knew of two cases where this> had happertd.ed, .and he
would like to see the practice received wide publicity to warn
people.
Councillor Illingworth read the following brief on littel:'ing'.
With the disappearance of the snow the activities of the litter
bugs are evident once again. The sidewalks-and gutters are
strewn with chocolate bar wrappers, empty cigaret packages and.
other items that create quite a mess. This is especially
noticeable in the south end Shopping plaza and the Merrick and
Skinner Plaza. It was not as noticeable in the Gateway Garden
Place. and then it was noticed that trash cans were avaialbe in
the location.
In checking the main street of the town, it is noted that trash
cans are not avaiill.able. It is difficult for citizens not to
litter our streets as there is no place else for them to deposit
the trash.
Montreal has attractively d.esigned refuse containers hanging
from poles along the main thorough fares. No litterbug is -more
than a few feet away from a trash can. Our neighbour to the
south, Ricbmond Hill has a small trash can attached to the
utility poles and they are well used.
Sometimes during this month a seminar oa Community
improvements is being held unde~ the sponsorship of the
Centennial Commission. The Commission plans to use the seminar
to launch a national clean-up program, in preparation for next
year's centennial celebration.
We should not have to wait and.cbe asked. to clean up for
Centennial Year. Our· civic pride is all that should be necess-
ary. However, it is fifficult for citizens to make use of the
civic prid.e if we do not provide the facilities ,
ILLINGWORK.
WILLISON:
"Resolved. that the following action be taken.
1. The property Committee investigage types and.
costs of trash cans and report to Council
2. A letter be written to Merridk & Skinner and tq
to Merkur and Sons request lng that they ·.
arrange for trash cans in tl:leir·p~l3.zas.
3. A letter be written to the :Board of Trade
requesting there co~operation df all s~ o;; /oA<?

Councillor Illingworth presented the following brief:
There has been some consideration in the press and in government
circles about the possibility of the government declaring
February 15, as · Nationai Flag Day and a National Holiday.
It is not rrry wi.sh to precipitate another flag debat, but it is my
feeling that the idea hasmerit and should be supported, Not only
should we have a National Flag Day to recognize our o~ Canadian
Flag, and possibly heJ.p to instl!ll some patriotic pride in our
Country, but I thank we need a holiday in February.
' Six Of the nine national holidays fall in the last half of the
year, After New Years Day, the next holiday is Good Friday, which
is sometimes four months away. Normally, during this period moral~
is at its lowest, and a holiday may instil new spirit and '
activiity, It is hoped that the holiday, if approved, would
revelop into a real ~ational holiday and would commemorate our
national heritgge and triumphs.
• ILLIGNWORTH: That a resolution be forwarded to the Prime Minsite~
of Canada and the Yeaaral member of York North thaj
this Municipality would support any-action to name '·

COUNCILLOR TRENT'S BRIEF CONTINUED
It was suggested that my neighbour could be .assesed as a commercial enterprixe,
whether this was done I have no idea, but this is small recompense to the person who
purchased a 'borne in what appeared to be a restricted resident;!;al area. Let it be
Ulderstood I am giving this experience as an illustration as to the frustration of
a homeowner 1vhen he se:es once stately homes become ·10 suite apartsments or a trucking
concern next door or an out of place apartment building forced upon him without
reguard to his personal feelings, I realize council has to assess every proposition
pre:seatoed but I am affaid that the appeal of added assessment sometimes outweighte
the best result for current homeowners. ·Unfortunately this situation doesn't
contribute to the best relations between· neighbours. But I cha:~ge the neighbours
shouldn 1 t bear any animosity towar\).s· e;>ch other. At present they are bqth within
there right to do as they see fit. I am even surprised that homeowners· approach
council. to let them know their intention -'of converting a .home. I am now going to lay
the blame on the very doorstep 1<here it bt;l;Longs. I charge that Councils of the past
and present are negligent i~t taking action to protect the homeowners, You realize
as recently as lat year our Planning Chairman brought a report to this council ';t
implying the Commi.ttee felt there was no necssity 'ip having a by-law governing the
conversion Of older homes, however, th~-same Co]lpc;Lllor is now making solJ,nds in
the opposite dirction. Let me point out some of the fallacies of permitting convers-
ions to not having regulation governing property lJ.!!.e. First I contenct that by
aLlowing conversions this is a forrunnt;lr of slum c¢nditions, 2. Which leads to loss
of assessment, Now there are two st!l>tements that requirt;l some qqnc· 1 •<~iva evidence.
The first statement can be best illlJ.strated by pointir;; to the ,city of Toronto. I
would point out such areas that have been most newsworthy, where property owners
are r<;>ferred to as "Slum L~;~ndlords'' Now dop 't say i}; _cannot happen here, yrhat
regulation power do we. hac·e over,the ~C,Qditi9)n a buil4~ng' :i..s allowed to fall in.
The answer is none. What regulation~ cit<;l !). single :family dwelling? Again, none,
although I understand sqme work is bfiling done in this area.
Secondly loss of assessment. :t can per!>Oil.allY VO]l<;hc-.sto this c:harge, for when I was
reflJ,sed by Council concerning my meighbnuts· machine shop I took my case to the
aSS<;lSS!hent court Of 'appeal and' WiJ.s granted a 10% reduction in my a~sessment cl,ue to
the machine shop "being next door. You wi:Ll gain a larger assessment on converted
property but you can see you might lqse it on several otbe,. housei;l. These. in my
mind are the most significient results from lack of regulations governing land use
and zoning in residential or what appears to be residential areas.
I feel until such time as a by-law, which I hope is not in the too distant future, is
prepared governing the above mentioned thoughts that council should adopt several
resolutions
I guess by now you are wondering why this interest by Councillor Trent, well I-wouid
1 ike to improve my home to make it more livable '!lor my family, but I hesitate realizing
I could spend several thousand dollars and next week have a tEin rooirj, boarding house
or apartment near me and than how a can I enjCly the privacy tlf residence in a now
multi residnetial area with the added cohgesticri, traffic, noise and peope who do not
understand pride of ownership. The.re is a ·degrl=~ of self interest here but fortunat.ely ~
it fefleets vary similar situations here in Auroral Lets face it a home is one
of the largest financial undertakings that most folk~ are conf~onted with.

SPECIAL COUNCIL -ih5 -MAY 10,1966
COUNCILLOR TRENT'S BRIEF CONTINUED
THEREFORE let it be resolved by Council
1. That a family consistof blood relations or marriage partner.
2. That no home can be converted to multipal use without permission of Council
3. That no commerclal enterprize be allowed to operate for from a home in a
residential area which would be annoying to the neighbourhood.
4. That a residential area be understood to mean a place where a person resides
and sets up housekeeping, a~d pays taxes on residential assessment. This of course
would exempt commercial establishments now paying commercial tax rate 7 business Dax.
5. rhat when a home is solt it revert back to a single family residence if it
now is classed as multiple dwelling.
No aoubt tome of the above resolutions are now in effect but ·rather than leave it to
chance I felt it was necessary to cover the proceeding points.
TRENT: "Resolved that the Planning Committee with the Planning Board proceed
ILLINGWORTH: with the preparation of a proposed regUlating by-law to be submitted
to Council governing restrictions in residential areas, as outlined in the forgoing
resolutions."
Councillor Illingworthreported that he had been working on this very type of thing and he
hoped to be able to present a report to the Planning Committee in two to three weeks.
Jlr·.· Trent said that he objected to b.usinessess operating out of homes. H~·'•·\.i.like eee ·
··someth~ng done to maintain the position of the older part of Town, or slum conditions
could r<;lsult.
Councillor Illingworth said that he had brought up the point that when a rpoerpty is
sold it should revert to residential. He was told that once a property was
ass_essed as commercial it could not change. He c.ould not see how a property could be
considered non conforming beof before a zoning by~law is passed.

MURRAY: "Resomved that the delegation be allowed to speak."
TRENT:
Councillor Illingworth asked the delegtion had a. brief, and if copies
could be made available to all Councillors for study before discussion.
He felt that much of the letter referred to matters outside Council's
authority, and that Council should not get involved in a civil matter
between the builder and buyer unless a by-law has been violated.
Reeve Patrick pointed out that Council knew nothing about grades and
that the Town Engineer should be present to answer ~uestions.
Councillor Illingworth said that the sub-division agreement setting
out the grades was approved by the Town Engineer. If these grades
were wrong, it is a Town problem. If the builder did not follow the
grades it is a civil problem. The Town Engineer had already been
asked to check the grades and he would'much rather hold the brief
until his report is presented on Monday night.
Councillor Murray said-there had been a gread deal of talk about the
delegation but they hadn't spoken yet. He felt they had a problem
now which they didn't want expanded. What harm is there in listening
to the brief. They are not asking for long discussions tonight, but
let~s hear what their complaint is.
Reeve Patrick satd that Council knev· nothing about grades and buildings.
The Town has a B'-' '.lding Inspector and an Engineer. We should listen to
professionals,
Councillor Trent said that what the delegation had to saymight help
the Engineer when he does his study.
Mayor Davis suggested that the delegation be premitted to present their
brief but that discussion be brought up on Monday night.

MAY 10,1966
Dr. Castelo read the breif as follows:
May we state in our introduction to the main portion of the brief that the resarch
rone on the National Building Code of Canada Supplement No. 5, Residential Stanards
1965 as it applied to the Golf Glen Subdivision wa)3 executed by Mr. G. Gunton.
Mr. Gunton submitted to us a list of twenty points re building in our area which he
felt, in his opinion, were not in compliance with .. the requirements of the National
Building Code of Canada 1965. We have not liSted .~11 twenty points but have
reduced these to nine plus fibur that we feel s.J?e;.Grovered in the Subdivion AGreement
in order not to take too much of your most valuable time. Mr. Gunton would be
pLeased to discuss these other points at a more' convenient time with the Town of
Aurora ... Engineer •.
Your Worship, Memb.ers of Council, our purpO"se here tonight is to· endeavour to···
... establish five points, n8lllely:
1. . Is the subdivision agreeemnt between Golf·· Gillen Terraces Ltd. andthe To'Wn of
Aurora a legal document binding o)!i both parties.
2 •. Is.By-law No. 1528 of the Municipal Corporation of the Town of Aurora, Onta~io
truly a law?
· 3, Is By-law .1487 of the Municipal Corporation of the Town of Aurora trUly a ;LAW? ·"
4. If the answer to· questions 1 to 3 is in the affirmative, .then would· any
deviation from siad Subdivision AGreement, and/or by-laws 1528 and 1487
contravene the law as applied to the Town of Aurora? We have legal advice that
the answer to the above three questions is in the affirmative.
5· Having agreed that the answer to questions 1 to 4 is in the affirmative, it would
suggest that we propose the question, "What action may we expect of Council, as ;·
residents of this municipality, if there has been any contravention of the law
as applied to the Town of Aurora?
For further clarificati6n I trust it is agreed that By-law 1528 is known as
"A By-law to Standardize requirements in granting approval of subdivision plans and
Subdivision Agreements'' and that By-law 1487 stateds that by-law 1063 and its
Slllendments by-laws 1199 and 1416 be hereby repealed, and be replaced by the National
Building Code of Canada 1960 and Supplements thereto. Therefore any reference here-
after that we shall make to the National Building Code of Canada is, we would
believe, a reference to By-law 1487.
Before proceeding further may we state that we are not suggesting that any person or
persosn deliverateli contravened a By-law or that the Subdivision Agreement nor do
we suggest that any person or persons either as a member of this Council or as an
employee of the Town of Aurora deliverately condoned the contravention of a by-law
or the Subdivison Agreement. We are here as responsible citizens to bring certain
facts, as we see them to your attention.
