Special Council – Public Planning Minutes No. 27-99 Page 2
Thursday, September 23, 1999
Mayor Jones advised that this meeting had been called as a Public Meeting with
respect to three development proposals – (1) Applications for Official Plan Amendment,
Zoning Bylaw Amendment and Draft Plan of Subdivision as submitted by 1351586
Ontario Limited respecting property municipally known as 119 Vandorf Sideroad (Files
D09-07-99, D14-12-99 and D12-99003A); (2) Applications for Official Plan Amendment
and Zoning Bylaw Amendment as submitted on behalf of Mrs. Anne Chapman
respecting property municipally known as 520 Industrial Parkway South (Files D09-08-
99 and D14-15-99); and, (3) Proposed Official Plan Amendment respecting the Bayview
East Urban Expansion Area – Bayview Northeast 2B Secondary Plan (File D09-10-96).
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 to receive further notice of the passage of any
proposed bylaw under consideration should sign the information sheets 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 individual’s right of appeal to either the Region of
York or the Ontario Municipal Board. It was noted that names and addresses of
speakers were required to form part of the record of the proceedings.
The Clerk confirmed that the required Notices of Public Meeting for the three
applications were given and that the necessary signs were posted on the related
properties in accordance with the rules of procedure under the Planning Act.
PL99-094-280 – Applications for Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment
Mrs. Anne Chapman
520 Industrial Parkway South
Part of Lot 76, Concession 1 E.Y.S.
Files D09-02-99, D14-04-99
Mr. Jim Kyle, Planner, presented an overview of the subject proposal, including the
property location, surrounding land uses and the applicable Official Plan designation
and Zoning By-law provisions affecting the subject lands. Mr. Kyle advised that the
applicant had applied to change the Official Plan land use designation from Estate
Residential to a site specific Campus Commercial designation, and further to change
the zoning category from the Rural General (RU) Zone to the Service Commercial (C3)
Exception Zone. It was noted that the purpose of the proposed amendments was to
permit an automobile dealership on the subject property, with the potential of also
allowing an automobile service centre, automobile washing establishment, automobile
rentals and a restaurant with either take-out and/or drive thru facilities. Mr. Kyle
displayed a site plan showing the location of the proposed dealership on the property,
together with an architectural rendering of the building. Mr. Kyle outlined the relevant
sections of the Official Plan pertaining to Campus Commercial Centres, Gateway
development and the Oak Ridges Moraine. Mr. Kyle noted that because the property is
on private services a Site Evaluation Report had been recently submitted by the
applicant but the Report had yet to be reviewed by staff. Mr. Kyle summarized the
departmental and agency comments that had been submitted for the proposed
development, concluding that there were a number of issues including noise, CN
concerns, urban design, buffering, servicing, trail location, Environmental Impact
Statement, and preservation of stone pier from radial railway that needed to be
addressed before any final recommendations could be presented to the Council. In
addition Mr. Kyle indicated that the requested uses in addition to the Automotive
dealership were not shown on the concept plan and may be hard to support from an
urban design perspective. In conclusion, Mr. Kyle recommended that the applications
be referred back to staff with the intent of reporting back to Council once the
outstanding issues had been fully addressed.
Applicant’s Comments
Mr. Bert Dekema appeared before Council on behalf of the owner and advised that he
was in the process of acquiring the subject property. He advised that while he had no
Special Council – Public Planning Minutes No. 27-99 Page 3
Thursday, September 23, 1999
objection to the staff recommendations, there were a number of issues that required
clarification. Mr. Dekema advised that the property was serviceable by water and that
there were engineering methods to permit the servicing of the lot. He advised that
issues related to any public address system and on-site lighting could be dealt with at
the site plan approval stage. In reference to a take-out/drive thru restaurant, Mr.
Dekema advised Council that it was not his intention to develop the property with a fast
food restaurant like Burger King or Wendy’s, but rather, a type of restaurant that could
provide a light lunch or coffee to the employees and customers of the dealership. Mr.
Dekema noted that only those vehicles owned by the dealership would be washed. Mr.
Dekema added that he had spoken with Sandra Chan, Planning Assistant for CN Rail,
who had advised him that she had not visited the site, nor was she aware of the existing
buffer on the property. Mr. Dekema noted that the CN letter was a standard form letter
and that the required setback from the rail line right-of-way might be reduced from 30
metres to 15 metres.
Public Comments
Mr. Ben Kestein appeared before the Council on behalf of the conservation group
P.A.R.K.S., and questioned who would be responsible for the construction and cost of
sewer servicing for the property.
Mr. Jeff Davies, solicitor, appeared on behalf of Greg and Kathryn Chorny, 12 Alm
Court, Aurora, and expressed concern with the variety of different uses being proposed
for the property. Mr. Davies advised that his clients were opposed to both the
dealership and other proposed uses for the site. He noted that noise from public
address systems could not be dealt with at the site plan agreement stage and that
additional noise impacts could be realized from the movement of cars on site and from
truck carriers loading/unloading cars. Mr. Davies also expressed concern with the
visual impact of the development, given that the site was located in the gateway to
Aurora. Mr. Davies then displayed a copy of the proposed site plan for the dealership
showing the 30 metre setback required by CN Rail, noting that even reducing the
setback to 15 metres would still cause significant impact on the site. Mr. Davies
questioned the adequacy of the site size to accommodate the use, and noted that in
terms of the Regional Official Plan, the project should be considered premature without
the benefit of municipal services. He added that his clients were not opposed to some
form of commercial development for the property, noting that a small office or medical
building might be viable if the servicing constraints could be overcome. Mr. Davies
concluded by requesting that the current applications be denied.
Mr. K. Wehrenberg, 16 Cedar Drive, Aurora, expressed concern with the potential
increase in traffic flow, indicating that it was already difficult to exit onto Yonge Street.
Mr. Wehrenberg also expressed concern with the delivery of cars to the property,
especially the parking of truck haulers on Industrial Parkway South.
Mr. Michael Blair, 11 Alm Court, Aurora, expressed concern with the impact on both the
value and quiet enjoyment of the estate residential properties to the south. Mr. Blair
also objected to the subject property receiving municipal servicing in advance of the
existing residential area.
In response to the resident’s concerns, the applicant’s agent, Mr. Bert Dekema advised
that he would be responsible for the cost of service extensions and he again re-iterated
that engineering solutions were possible. Mr. Dekema added that he would undertake
to do whatever was necessary to deal with noise impacts from any public address
system and confirmed that there would be no outside speakers. Mr. Dekema stated
that truck carriers would be required to comply with the provisions of the Highway Traffic
Act, and that he would undertake to make the development visually attractive at the
gateway to the Town. He added that heavy traffic volumes should be expected on
Industrial Parkway South and that he would contact CN Rail to confirm that agency’s
requirements for the site. Mr. Dekema concluded that the property was of sufficient size
to adequately accommodate the proposed use.
The public portion of the meeting closed at 8:12 p.m. and Council’s deliberations began.

PL99-097-281 – Proposed Official Plan Amendment
Bayview East Urban Expansion Area
Bayview Northeast 2B Secondary Plan
File D09-10-96
Ms. Sue Seibert, Director of Planning, outlined the background and history leading up to
the development of the Bayview Northeast 2B Secondary Plan. Ms. Seibert noted that
out of OPA # 17 and the Growth Management Study, three urban expansion areas had
been identified, the largest of which was the Bayview East Urban Expansion Area. She
advised that during the initial planning stages, the Secondary Plan was split into two
areas (i.e. 2A and 2B), to recognize the commitment made to Magna International to
enable them to begin residential development after the completion of some components
of the business park. Ms. Seibert advised that Secondary Plan Area 2A had been
adopted by OPA # 20 and that the subject of tonight’s meeting was to consider
comments and recommended changes received with respect to Area 2B.
Mr. Craig Hunter, Planning Consultant for the Town of Aurora for the 2B lands, gave a
presentation on the key changes to the Plan that had occurred since the June public
meeting, and advised that he would address any outstanding issues, as well as respond
to inquiries from both the public and Council. Mr. Hunter summarized the issues that
had been directed by Council to finalize the Secondary Plan for the area. He then
highlighted the main components of the revised Plan, together with a number of
outstanding issues related to the East Aurora Wetland Complex, the requested
boundary change on Wellington (Magna & Burnett), specific requests from Magna
related to the private hospital and road phasing, permitted uses in the business park
and the issue of building height flexibility in the vicinity of Highway 404 (i.e. Whitwell).
Public Comments
Mr. Klaus Wehrenberg, 16 Cedar Drive, Aurora commented on the preservation of the
Wetlands. He expressed concern with the impact of clustering development and
density on the wetland area. He suggested that some consideration might be given to
allowing bonusing to enable additional wetlands to be conveyed and protected. Mr.
Wehrenberg stated that never before has the Town had the opportunity to preserve
such a large environmentally significant area.
Miss Christie Lowett a science student from Newmarket High School made a
presentation on the wetlands on behalf of her fellow students. Miss Lowett stated that
they were very concerned with the impact of development on the wetlands. She pointed
out how development would endanger wildlife species living in this environment by
polluting the water and air. She displayed an article from the September 22, 1999
edition of the Era Banner that spoke to the issue of preserving the wetlands and
controlling development within the Oak Ridges Moraine. Miss Lowett also expressed
her concerns regarding development impacts on the McKenzie Marsh. Miss Lowett
suggested that Magna be required to control access to the Wetlands and to show
concern for the environment. She displayed a petition signed by many fellow students
in support of the preservation of the Wetlands. She also advised that she had
Special Council – Public Planning Minutes No. 27-99 Page 5
Thursday, September 23, 1999
contacted CKVR News to inform them of their support for the preservation of the
Wetlands.
Mr. Harry Froussios appeared before the Council on behalf of Loblaws Properties Ltd.
He expressed concern on behalf of his client regarding the Community/Commercial
designations in the prepared OPA document which allowed for additional supermarket
developments. Mr. Froussios noted that his client’s lands, located at the southwest
corner of St. Johns Sideroad and Bayview Avenue, currently had a Holding provision on
them pending a marketing study. He suggested that the new designations were
premature pending confirmation that the market could support additional supermarkets.
Mr. Froussios requested that Council defer their decision on the amendment to enable
sufficient time to discern the need for additional commercial uses of this type and scale.
Mr. David Tomlinson, 181 Centre St., Aurora, voiced his concerns regarding
development impacts on the Wetlands, adding that the creation of a wildlife sanctuary
was critical. He referred to a UN report on environmental pollution and the resultant
impacts on wildlife. He spoke of how the common house sparrow in Britain was on the
verge of potentially becoming an endangered species due to the destruction of their
habitat. Mr. Tomlinson suggested that an Environmental Consultant that is respected
by Conservationists work with developers and the Town so as to ensure the protection
of the Wetlands. He suggested that there be a significant buffer zone to protect the
Wetlands from development, adding that developers had made millions of dollars and
that it was time to give back to the environment, saving it for future generations. Mr.
Tomlinson stated that he would be willing to meet with developers and the Town to
determine a future course of action in preserving the Wetland area. Mr. Tomlinson
concluded by stating that while land use designations were clearly defined in the Plan,
the boundaries for the Wildlife Park were vague and that the buffer zones for the
Wetlands needed to be clearly defined. He also expressed concern with respect to the
proposed road crossings, questioning both the number of locations of same.
Mr. J. Dreyer, 15428 Leslie St., Aurora, questioned the definition of “business park” and
its permitted uses. He stated that he would like to know more about road patterns and
access, and questioned the impact that development would have on springs in the area,
in addition to the impact on the real estate value of his home as a result of the business
park.
W.R Hodgson of W.R. Hodgson and Associates appeared on behalf of the owner of
property located at the southeast corner of St. John Sideroad and Leslie Street. He
questioned whether another OPA was required to extend the business park boundary
north, and whether there would be the opportunity to look at the wetlands in the
adjacent Area 2C in a comprehensive manner.
Mr. Ben Kestein, representing P.A.R.K.S. suggested that the Business Park should
extend further up Highway 404 to be serviced by a parallel service road. His other
concern was with respect to the height of buildings possibly increasing from 7 to 10
stories. Mr. Kestein also expressed concern with the establishment of any private
hospital on the Magna lands, given that it could lead to a two-tier health system.
Mr. Peter Smith appeared before Council representing 761933 Ontario Ltd. the owner of
100 acres on the East Side of Bayview Ave. Mr. Smith reiterated five areas of concern
that had been outlined in two letters submitted to the Town from John Bousfield dated
September 1 and 15, 1999.
Mr. Brian Good of 15625 Bayview Ave (Spring Farms) expressed his concern with the
possible destruction of the wetlands. He encouraged the Town to do all it could to
protect the wetlands for the future of the Town.
Mr. Steve Cohen, 1700 Wellington St., Aurora, questioned the impact that development
would have on the spring located on his neighbors property, and further, he asked when
sewer servicing would be available in this area.
Mr. C. Brutto appeared on behalf of the owners of the Spring Farm, and the Burnett and
Baggett families. On behalf of the Spring Family, Mr. Brutto expressed support for the
progress that had been made to date, and that his client was interested in
Special Council – Public Planning Minutes No. 27-99 Page 6
Thursday, September 23, 1999
environmental protection. He added that the issue of the road crossings needed to be
further addressed and that they would like to be involved in any future discussion
concerning the wetlands.
On behalf of his other client, Mr. Burnett, Mr. Brutto indicated that a boundary
adjustment on the Burnett property would be appropriate to a definable boundary, which
was suggested to be the north property limit.
Ms. Connor stated that she hoped Council would consider the emotional pleas
concerning the wetlands and choose to preserve the sanctuary for the sake of the
wildlife and future enjoyment of the residents of the Town.
Mr. Harry Lumsden of 144 Hillview Rd., Aurora indicated that the east/west roads
should be eliminated in order to protect the wildlife. He suggested that the buffer zones
around the wetlands be as wide as possible.
The public portion of the meeting closed at 10:13 p.m. and Council’s deliberations
began.

119 Vandorf Sideroad
Files D09-07-99, D14-12-99 and D12-99003A
Mr. Jim Kyle, Planner, presented an overview of the subject proposal, including the
property location, surrounding land uses and the current Official Plan designation and
Zoning By-law provisions affecting the subject property. Mr Kyle advised that the
applicant had requested an OPA from Estate Residential to Urban Residential and
rezoning from Rural to Detached Dwelling Second Density (R2) Exception zone. It was
noted that the requested exceptions were to reduce front yard setback from 6 metres to
4.5 metres and exterior side yard setback from 6 metres to 4.5 metres. It was noted that
the purpose of the application was to permit a subdivision consisting of 7 lots. It was
noted that the subject lands were part of the Yonge Street South Urban Expansion Area
identified within OPA 17 and that the lands were to be part of the Master Servicing
Study. Mr. Kyle stated that the subject lands are part of the Oak Ridge Moraine and
that the Official Plan required that an Environmental Impact Study be completed for any
development proposed in the Moraine area. He added that to date, the Town had not
received this Study. Mr. Kyle stated that the area was privately serviced and that
according to OPA 17 new development was only allowed to occur on full municipal
services. He added that a study produced by the applicant indicated the servicing
infrastructure was in place to service the proposed 7 lots. Mr. Kyle stated that
arrangements had been with The Beswick Group to use the existing condominium road
to access the proposed development. Mr Kyle indicated that the landscaping
requirements and buffering were not addressed in the Tree Inventory Analysis. He
added that the applicant proposed to reduce the exterior side yard setback from 6
metres to 4.5 metres and that this reduction raised a concern for Staff, given that the
subject lands flanked onto Vandorf Sideroad. Mr. Kyle noted that the Master Servicing
Study would be required by Council prior to development and that Fire and Building
were concerned with the radius of the cul-de-sac. Mr. Kyle indicated that the applicant
had recently submitted a new plan based on the relocated road location on the Beswick
Lands and that staff have not had a chance to fully review such plan due to the timing of
the submission. Mr. Kyle recommended that this application be received for information
at this time and that all outstanding issues should be addressed before reporting back
to Council.
Applicant’s Comments
Dennis Wood, solicitor for the applicant, summarized the contents of his letter dated
September 23, 1999 which was currently before the Council. Mr. Wood stated that he
was seeking a different disposition to the applications than was being suggested by
staff. He suggested that the Master Servicing Study not be required prior to final
reporting on the applications. Mr. Wood indicated that access to the proposed lots
would now occur via the abutting Condominium road. He indicated that the subject
lands had been excluded from the overall Secondary Plan and were to proceed with a
separate secondary plan subject to the completion of a Master Servicing Plan on the
basis of an earlier concept for 19 condominium units. Mr. Wood stated that his client
was now only proposing 7 bungalows. Mr. Wood indicated his client was prepared to
pay its fair share of Development Charges, and based on a letter received from the
Ministry of Municipal Affairs, there were no environmental concerns with respect to the
Oak Ridges Moraine. Mr. Wood indicated that the project would conform to the density
provisions of the Town’s Official Plan, as amended by OPA 17.
Mr. Jamie Bennett, a planner for the applicant, gave an overview of the location of the
subject lands. He explained that they were proposing 7 new lots with road access to
occur via the abutting Condominium road and that servicing would also be obtainable
from the existing services within the road allowance. Mr. Bennett stated that the owner
proposed to build bungalows on the new lots and that the subdivision would yield a
density of 3.8 units/acre. Mr. Bennett indicated this project would serve as a completion
to the Timberline neighbourhood. He added that there would be extensive vegetative
planting and that while the lands were located on the Oak Ridges Moraine, the Ministry
had expressed no concerns in this regard.

Public Comments
Mr. Seymour Martin, 5 Jarvis Ave, Aurora, appeared on behalf of his neighbours to
express opposition to the proposed subdivision. Mr. Martin suggested that the project
was incompatible with the surrounding neighbourhood, particularly the adjacent
Hazelburn community. He suggested that the integrity of the Hazelburn neighbourhood
should be maintained, and that the status quo should be protected. Mr. Martin stated
that the existing residents pay high taxes to live in this area, and they want their
neighbourhood to stay the way it is. Mr. Martin stated that the residents had chosen to
live in an estate residential subdivision for reasons such as privacy, and he saw no
logical reason to allow infilling on these lands. Mr. Martin advised that his main concern
was respecting the incompatibility of the density of the subdivision.
Mr. Paul Walker, 2 Jarvis Ave, Aurora, indicated that he had written a letter to Council
and that he too was concerned about density levels. He stated that he
would be able to see the backyards of every dwelling in the proposed development. Mr.
Walker suggested that the existing vegetative barrier was inadequate and he was
concerned about how this project would affect the value of his house. Mr. Walker also
expressed concern about the visual impact of the development, given the differential in
grade between the properties. Mr. Walker concluded by requesting that the existing 2-
acre designation be maintained.
Mr. Eugene Benson, 3 Jarvis Ave, Aurora, indicated that his house was constructed
toward the rear of his property for privacy purposes and that he can see the Beswick
Group project as well as the proposed site from his kitchen window. Mr. Benson felt
that the existing Estate Residential designation should be maintained. Mr. Benson
questioned what would prohibit him from making a similar application to subdivide his
existing 2-acre lot.
Mr. Michael Blair, 11 Alm Court, Aurora, expressed opposition to the project on the
basis of water supply being afforded to new development before the existing unserviced
community.
Mr. J. Henson, 12 Jarvis Court, Aurora, suggested that the proposed development,
would set the precedent for similar type developments in the area.
Mr. Claudio Brutto, Brutto Consulting, appeared on behalf of Wycliffe/Diamond to
indicate his clients wanted to reserve the right to comment in writing on this proposal in
the future.
Ms. J. Craik, 6 Jarvis Ave, Aurora, indicated she was concerned with the increased
density by adding more houses. She expressed concern about the increased traffic from
this project and the resultant safety issues that would arise in exiting onto Vandorf
Sideroad.
Messr’s. Wood and Bennett submitted that the resultant density would be consistent
with OPA 17 and that 7 homes would have an insignificant impact on the current water
supply. Further, they added that they didn’t foresee 7 homes creating traffic safety
issues but such a concern could be addressed by Town staff. A landscape architect for
the applicant advised that 43 of 73 trees on-site were proposed to be transplanted to the
buffer area. He added that there would be no need to change the existing grading,
given that the proposed dwellings would be at the same elevation as the existing tudor-
style home on the property.
The public portion of the meeting closed at 12:43 a.m. and Council’s deliberations
began.
