PUBLIC MEETING - PLANNING APPLICATION
Mayor Jones advised that this meeting had been called as a Public Meeting with
respect to proposed Zoning By-law Amendment for Maple Leaf Foods Inc., 35 & 37
Tyler Street, Part of Lots 24 & 25, Plan 9, application number D14-05-95.
The Public Meeting procedures and the opportunities available for persons to ask
questions related to the item 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.
Names and addresses of speakers are required as a part of the record of the
proceedings.
The Acting Deputy Clerk confirmed that the required Notice of Meeting for the
application was given and that the necessary signs were posted on the property in
accordance with the rules of procedure under the Planning Act.
PL99-048-138 - Zoning By-law Amendment Application
Maple Leaf Foods Inc., 35 & 37 Tyler Street
Part of Lots 24 & 25 Plan 9, D14-05-95
Mr. Rob Hughes, Planner, provided a brief overview of the subject proposal including
the location and applicable Official Plan and Zoning By-law designations. The Planner
provided a brief background of the application indicating at a previous Public Planning
meeting held in February 1995, the lands were subject to Official Plan and Rezoning
applications to allow for the demolition and reconstruction of the existing semi-detached
dwelling. Applications for site plan approval and severance of the lands were also filed
concurrently. While the Official Plan document was approved and the site specific
Zoning given first and second reading, the other applications including the rezoning
were placed in an inactive state as a result of Maple Leaf’s corporate affairs at the time.
Mr. Hughes explained that given the lapse of time from this previous meeting, an
additional public meeting was required in accordance with Council policy. The
applicants now propose to continue the rezoning affecting the subject lands from
“Environmental Protection (E.P.) Zone” to a site specific “Environmental Protection
(E.P.) Exception Zone” to allow for the use of the existing building as a semi-detached
dwelling in accordance with the standards of the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation
Authority. Council was informed that the application differs from the previous proposal in
that the existing structure is to be rehabilitated with no new buildings proposed for the
lands. Driveways for each unit are proposed at the side of the building, and all existing
trees on the site are to remain. Mr. Hughes indicated that in principle, staff had no
objection to the subject application. The matter conformed to the provisions of the
Official Plan by allowing for a semi-detached dwelling. He advised that the Official Plan
Amendment required site plan approval for any redevelopment on the site. This
requirement was placed within the Official Plan Amendment in order to facilitate the
former redevelopment situation. Given that the current proposal is for modifications to
the existing structure only, and that no enlargement of the existing building or addition of
Aurora Council/Public Planning Minutes No. 15-99 Page 3
Wednesday, May 26, 1999
new buildings or any changes to the existing landscaping is proposed for the site, Mr.
Hughes explained that exemption from the site plan process may be an option for
Council in view of the limited number of changes proposed for the lands. Prior to
making this decision, staff would consult with the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation
Authority to ensure that all of their needs can be addressed. In conclusion, Mr. Hughes
recommended that, subject to the processing of a site plan application if deemed
required, Council approve the application.
Applicant’s Comments
Mr. Tony Sluga, representing Maple Leaf Foods Inc. informed Council that the dwellings
in question had fallen into a state of despair and indicated that it is their intention to
repair the houses, maintain and clean up the site, and move forward with the proposed
development.
Public Comments
Mr. Darren Poncelet, a resident of Aurora requested clarification as to the purpose of
the Zoning By-law amendment.
The public portion of the meeting closed at 7:40 p.m. and Council’s deliberations began.
#324. Moved by Councillor West Seconded by Councillor Morris
THAT Council approve the application in principle, subject to the
processing of a site plan application, if deemed necessary; and
THAT an implementing Bill be forwarded to the next available Council
meeting for first and second reading.

PRESENTATIONS
Memorandum from Director of Public Works re: Region of York
- Solid Waste Diversion Options
Mr. Kees Schipper, Regional Commissioner of Transportation and Works introduced Mr.
Jeff Flewelling, Waste Manager and Mr. Bill Balfour of Garden Lee Limited who were in
attendance at the meeting. He provided an overview of the work conducted at the
Regional level in the formulation of a waste diversion and waste disposal strategy. Mr.
Schipper indicated that the work was conducted under various assumptions including
the closure of Keele Valley by late 2002; increases in disposal costs; the need for a
transfer station and material recovery facility (MRF); retaining the existing yard waste
composing facility, Georgina Transfer Station, and the Northern Material Recovery
Facility. Mr. Schipper informed Council that 5 solid waste management options were
reviewed at the workshop. Option 1 represents the current solid waste management
system in the Region with limited change in the diversion programs. This option
quantifies the impact of the closure of Keele Valley on the current system. Option 1 was
also used as a benchmark against which other options were compared. Option 2
represents the Region owning a new Regional Material Recovery Facility (MRF) with
the operation out-sourced to the private sector. The new MRF would require changes
to local municipal collection systems and would introduce efficiencies and cost savings
in the collection of blue box materials. Option 3 introduces a new food waste
composting stream in addition to the changes presented in Option 2. Option 4 is the
Region-owned Integrated Solid Waste Processing and Transfer Facility based on 3-
stream collection. In this scenario, the Region would establish a MRF, an indoor
composting facility for food waste, and a transfer station on one site. Option 5 is the
Region-own Integrated Solid Waste Processing and Transfer Facility based on 2-stream
collection. Mr. Schipper then proceeded to provide a detailed financial analysis of the
capital costs and operating costs of the 5 options presented. He concluded that Option
1 did not achieve the 50% diversion target set by Council. The costs of Options 2, 3
and 4 compared to Option 1 were reasonable and affordable. Costs of Option 5 were
Aurora Council/Public Planning Minutes No. 15-99 Page 4
Wednesday, May 26, 1999
somewhat higher. Option 3 depended on successful contract for composting. Mr.
Schipper informed Council that the Region intends to prepare a Request for Proposal
based on Options 2, 3, 4 and 5 with the intent of exploring potential for private sector
involvement and also plans to meet with local municipal Councils. He indicated that the
Region is looking forward to working with staff and Council on an ongoing basis in this
endeavour.
#325. Moved by Councillor West Seconded by Councillor Morris

DELEGATIONS
Darren Poncelet re: Ontario Heritage Foundation/”High Tor” Committee
Mr. Poncelet, a resident of Aurora expressed various concerns, and requested some
clarification regarding specific wording in item #4 on page 3 of the Ontario Heritage
Foundation/”HighTor” Committee Record from the meeting of May 4, 1999. Mr.
Poncelet also requested that the process for appointing citizen and Council
representatives to the OHF Committee be addressed and that views of the citizen
members related to the proposed disposition of the lands be clarified. It was suggested
that, according to a Growth & Development Study recently presented to Council, the
development of the High Tor lands could result in an increased cost to the Town due to
new Development Charges Act possibly resulting in increased property taxes. It was
noted that the Study also projected that the Town might have to purchase natural land
to offset future development costs. Mr. Poncelet suggested that maintaining the
HighTor lands as natural lands might curtail some of the expense of purchasing new
natural lands, and would save the Town of Aurora the costs of developing that land.
Mr. Poncelet in closing mentioned comments made at the May 12th Council Meeting
regarding public input into another proposed development on Elderberry Trail.
Questions concerning the role of Councillors in the Official Plan and Development
Charges approval processes were raised.
#326. Moved by Councillor West Seconded by Councillor Morris
THAT the comments of the delegate be referred to Staff and the Ontario
Heritage Foundation/”High Tor” Committee; and
THAT a written response be provided to the delegate.
CARRIED
Allie Biederman, Aurora Nursery School re: Spacing in the Town’s
Historical Core for the Aurora Nursery School
Ms. Biederman spoke regarding the future of the Aurora Nursery School. She provided
a brief history of the formation, membership and role of the school. Council was
advised that the Aurora Nursery School had been relocated from the Trinity Anglican
Church to the Lion’s Hall on Victoria Street in the last month due to construction of the
church and has enjoyed residence in the Historical Core of Aurora for over 45 years.
Ms. Biederman advised Council that although the school has accommodation at
present, they are asking Council to designate a space for the school in the Historical
Core restructuring plan because they would like to offer the students, members and
teachers a permanent home. She indicated that the Town is considering space for the
Youth Club and the Seniors Club of Aurora in the Historical Core and requested Council
to give the Aurora Nursery School the same consideration.
