PART 1 -THE PREAMBLE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
This application deals with the 'Land Exchange on Allaura Blvd'. (See Bylaws 4086-99.L
and 4087-99.L, being the purchase and conveyance authorizing Bylaws, Read a Third
Time and Finally Passed August 251h, 1999). This Application is submitted with the
intention of adjusting the existing land use designations to reflect the new land ownership
pattern.
The joint application for Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendments, reflects the new
land ownership situation. The Town of Aurora and Bricon Construction Ltd. have
completed negotiations and the exchange of land has taken place.
This Application to change the land use desginations of the subject lands is based on the
new land ownership configuration.
Background
The Industrial land is undeveloped, while the Town land has been set aside for storm water
management.
Bricon Construction Limited originally purchased Lot #13, (see attached Plan #1 ), in the
summer of 1998. Bricon approached the Town, in early 1999, with a request to exchange
the easterly portion of their property, Lot 13, for a portion of Block A and all of Block B.
2.0 PURPOSE
The purpose of this amendment is to change the land use designations and flood prone
areas, on portions of the subject lands, illustrated on Schedule A and ScheduleD, attached
hereto. Schedule A illustrates the change in land use designations from "Public Open
Space" to "Industrial" and from "Industrial" to "Private Open Space" on the new configured
Bricon Construction Ltd. property. Further, Schedule A illustrates the change in land use
designations from "Industrial" to "Public Open Space" on the new configured Town of
Aurora property. ScheduleD illustrates the old and new location of the flood prone area, a
result of the realigned watercourse.
