respect to proposed Zoning By-law Amendment for Magna International Inc., Part Lot
20, Concession 2, E.Y.S., Arts and Entertainment Centre, Magna Drive, application
number D14-11-99.
The Public Meeting procedures and the opportunities available for persons to ask
questions related to the items tabled for consideration were explained. Mayor Jones
advised that any person who wished further notice of the passage of the proposed By-
law under consideration could sign the information forms available. In addition, Mayor
Jones advised that any concerns with the proposal must be expressed during the public
meeting or in writing prior to the adoption by Council of any amendment in order to
protect the right to appeal to either the Region of York or the Ontario Municipal Board.

PLANNING APPLICATIONS
PL99-066-222 - Zoning By-law Amendment Application
Magna International Part of Lot 20, Concession 2, EYS
D14-11-99
Ms. S. Seibert, Director of Planning, provided a brief overview of the subject proposal
noting that it was part of a plan previously approved by Council. The Director advised
Aurora Council Minutes No. 21-99 Page 3
Wednesday, July, 21, 1999
that the applicants had requested an amendment to Zoning By-law 2213-78 affecting
the subject lands to change the zoning from “Rural General (RU) Zone” to “Rural
General (RU-7) Exception Zone”. The purpose of the application was to expand the
area subject to the existing “Rural General (RU-7) Exception Zone” to provide for
additional lands for the parking requirements necessary to accommodate the proposed
Arts and Entertainment Centre. Mrs. Seibert indicated that in order to accomplish this
expansion, it was necessary to relocate the storm water management pond in the area.
In this regard, both the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority and the Town’s
Public Works Department viewed the proposal as premature due to unresolved issues.
In conclusion, the Director suggested that staff be directed to prepare an implementing
bill, however, that third reading of the by-law be held until such time as the technical
matters raised had been addressed.
Applicant’s Comments
Mr. Don Given, of Malone Given Parsons indicated his support of the staff
recommendations and requested Council’s endorsement.
Public Comments
Mr. Ben Kestin, a resident of Aurora, inquired into the proposed use of the Arts and
Entertainment Centre and its benefit and access to the public. In response, Mr. Given
indicated that the proposal was a private endeavor. However, it was his understanding
that the building may be available for public use, the conditions and costs of which were
undetermined at this time.
The public portion of the meeting closed at 7:43 p.m. and Council’s deliberations began.
#466. Moved by Councillor Hartwell Seconded by Councillor Hogg
THAT staff be directed to prepare an implementing bill based on an
analysis of the ongoing site plan application and finalization of the draft
plan of subdivision; and
THAT third reading of the bill be held pending execution of the site plan
agreement and resolution of technical concerns.
CARRIED
Councillors Morris and Hinder, having previously declared an interest in this report, did
not take part in the vote called for in this regard.
PRESENTATIONS
Gary Scandlan of C.N. Watson and Associates Ltd. re:
Development Charges
Mr. Gary Scandlan of C.N. Watson made a brief presentation as a continuation of a
series of presentations with respect to the Development Charges act and the
establishment of a related Development Charges By-law. Mr. Scandlan stated that an
addendum to the Development Charges Background Study Report had been prepared
for Council, which addresses concerns brought up at the Council Meeting of June 9,
1999. Mr. Scandlan advised that in examining these concerns certain figures were
altered within the Background Study Report and that the addendum provides the
updated figures.

DELEGATIONS
Mr. Brian Larter, The Larter Group re: New Mural for the Southeast
Corner of Yonge Street and Wellington Street
Mr. Brian Larter, of The Larter Group provided Council with a brief outline of his
Company’s goals, objectives and time frame in regards to designing and creating a new
mural for the Southest corner of Yonge Street and Wellington Street. Mr. Larter
explained that due to the age and related damage to the wall, the timeframe was
extended to May of 2000 and the cost will be greater than that of the last endeavor of
this nature. It was also noted that the mural is hoped to provide the Town of Aurora with
an identifiable landmark and an original piece of art that will be of value to the
community. Mr. Larter presented two examples of possible designs for the mural,
explaining that the designs are only preliminary and that The Larter Group wishes to
solicit Council’s further input and ongoing dialogue and involvement with this project.
#468. Moved by Councillor Hartwell Seconded by Councillor Griffith
THAT the comments of the delegate be received and referred to staff for
review and report regarding design concept and Town involvement for
New Mural for the Southeast Corner of Yonge Street and Wellington
Street.
CARRIED
Mr. Don Eastwood, Chair of the York Region Horse Country
Steering Committee re: Town of Aurora Draft Horse Riding
Establishments By-law
Mr. Don Eastwood, Chair of the York Region Horse Country Steering Committee
addressed Council and expressed his and his Committee’s support of the Horse Riding
Establishments By-law. Mr. Eastwood provided council with some figures illustrating
the large number of horse farms, horses and riders of all types in the Region of York
indicating that Horse Riding is a large and well established Industry. Therefore it was
suggested that this By-law is important and will be a model for many other far reaching
Municipalities and Regions. Mr. Eastwood commended Council and Staff for the care
taken in responding to concerns resulting from the earlier draft of the By-law and for
communicating with various facets of the industry to gather information toward the
clearer and more informed current version. Mr. Eastwood suggested the addition of the
word “Commercial” to section 7 relating to insurance. He then concluded by expressing
congratulations and anticipation of continued support.
#469. Moved by Councillor Morris Seconded by Councillor Griffith
THAT the comments of the delegate be referred for consideration with
report CO99-34-218.
CARRIED
Ms. Laura Flint, Spirit Farms re: Town of Aurora Draft Horse
Riding Establishments By-law
Ms. Laura Flint of Spirit Farms addressed Council and indicated that she was speaking
on behalf of The Equestrian Association, riders and families as well as many other
parties involved in establishing this By-law. Ms. Flint expressed the opinion that
Council’s original intention with this By-law was to legislate standards respecting safety
equipment, and in her opinion, Council strayed from that goal attempting to create
guidelines to cover a broader range of horse establishment related standards and
practices. Ms. Flint suggested that a clearer By-law dealing with riding helmets and
boots would have been more effective and might have covered a larger range of horse
Aurora Council Minutes No. 21-99 Page 5
Wednesday, July, 21, 1999
establishments, without encountering the possibility of confusion over details such as
definitions and different requirements for different riding styles.
Ms. Flint indicated that although she supports the need for a By-law legislating
standards for safety equipment throughout the horse riding industry, she is in opposition
of this By-law in it’s current form.
#470. Moved by Councillor Griffith Seconded by Councillor Hartwell
THAT the comments of the delegate be referred for consideration with
report CO99-34-21.
CARRIED
George Cameron and Penny Murray re: Town of Aurora Draft
Horse Riding Establishments By-law
Councillor Morris informed Council that resulting from a conversation with the delegates
earlier that evening it was her understanding that George Cameron and Penny Murray
have read the revised By-law and are satisfied with the amendments, therefore the
request to speak has been withdrawn.
Donald Given of Malone Given Parsons Ltd. re: Report TR99-023-213 - Development
Charge Background Study Amendment, and Report ADM99-011-214 Introduction of
Lake Based Water into Aurora - Viability of Separate Water Systems
Mr. Don Given of Malone Given Parsons Ltd. explained that he was representing the
interest of several clients in the 2A and 2B area lands located in the Northeast of
Aurora. Mr. Given explained that he and his clients are content with the adjustments
made to the Development Charges Study Mr. Gary Scandlan.
Mr. Given then expressed concern and frustration regarding the issue of water
availability for several development projects which have been going through years of
planning on the understanding that Lake Ontario Water Would be provided to this area.
It was noted that these developments have been extremely delayed, due to the time it's
taking Council to debate and decide on this issue. Mr. Given urged Council to consider
Report ADM99-011-214, before Council this evening, suggesting that this report is
informed, well researched and that staff have done all they could, without bias, to inform
Council of their alternatives in this regard.
#471. Moved by Councillor Griffith Seconded by Councillor McKenzie
THAT the comments of the delegate be referred for consideration with
Reports TR99-023-213 and ADM99-011-214 accordingly.
CARRIED
Mr. Edward M. Addison, Ecolink Science re: Water Issue in Aurora
Mr. Edward Addison addressed Council outlining his scientific involvement with the
study of Canadian wildlife in the Great Lakes System as well as his role as ecologist for
the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and various other positions in the
environmental/ecological field. Mr. Addison expressed concerns regarding the decision
making process, methods used regarding consultation and availability of all facts
relating to future sources of water for the Region of York. Mr. Addison stated that, in his
opinion, Council and the Town of Aurora were only offered one option for future water
resources in the region, Lake Ontario Water. He suggested that a more scientific
method for finding these resources, weighing out the ecological, economic and health
factors, might have resulted in a broader range of possibilities over a longer time. In
closing Mr. Addison suggested that Council take the time to only endorse the
recommendations that Council is comfortable with and continue to review and explore
the issues which are not yet clear.
#472. Moved by Councillor Hartwell Seconded by Councillor Hinder

CARRIED
Mr. Jerry Cutler, Resident re: Water Issue in Aurora
Mr. Cutler addressed Council regarding the possibility of alternative sources of
groundwater within the Oak Ridges Moraine Watershed system(s). Mr. Cutler provided
Council with various quoted opinions and articles from a wide variety of informed and
involved parties and sources relating to the issue of potential water resources in the
Region of York, in support of this theory. Mr. Cutler asked that Council not support the
introduction of Lake Ontario Water into the current watershed, and instead support a
study into alternative water sources through groundwater systems.
#473. Moved by Councillor McKenzie Seconded by Councillor Griffith
THAT the comments of the delegate be referred for consideration with
Report ADM99-011-214.
CARRIED
Mr. Bill Bell, Mayor of Richmond Hill and Regional Chair of the Transportation and
Works Committee re: Long Term Water Supply
Mr. Bell addressed Council explaining that he hoped to offer a more political view of the
Water Issue. Mr. Bell explained that the Region of York has been involved in the search
for a Long Term Water Supply for York Region and the Town of Aurora for eight years.
This has involved much research and consultation with various sources of information
relating to the issue, including the hiring of an independent consultant. Mr. Bell stated
that it is the opinion of the Regional Council that the projected increase of population in
the Town of Aurora exceeds the reserves of water available through the existing water
supply, therefore supplementation is necessary. It was suggested that this
determination was made many years ago and had been incorporated into the Town of
Aurora's Official Plan. Research and study have left the Region with the conclusion that
the introduction of Lake Ontario Water into the existing groundwater system to top
reserves enough to accommodate the increase in growth of development and
population, is the most viable option. Mr. Bell suggested that in the interest of time,
Council proceed with the recommendations in Report ADM99-011-214. He also
suggested that in doing so, possible contention from developers who have suffered
great inconvenience and expense from the delay of this decision, will be avoided.

CARRIED
Mr. Hamid Kashani re: Aurora Montessori School, Request for
Third Reading of By-law No. 4084-99.D
Mr. Hamid Kashani Addressed Council and explained that he was speaking on behalf of
his sister, Sharon Kashani who is the Principal of the Aurora Montessouri School, and is
the requesting that the Development By-law 4084-99.D be given all three readings at
this evening's meeting. It was explained that, due to limited parking at the school
grounds, the safety of the students is at potential risk therefore the work is hoped to be
completed by the beginning of the school year. Mr. Kashani advised Council that Ms.
Kashani offers her assurance that she will do all that is possible to meet any
requirements to assist with implementation of this By-law prior to the beginning of the
school year.
