Mr. DeMelo advised that the applicant fully supports the recommendations and conditions of subdivision approval proposed by the Town, with the exception of condition 104. Mr, DeMelo explained that condition 104, which was imposed by Enbridge Gas Distribution Inc., requires that a further noise study be conducted following the final completion of construction, and that further mitigation measures and possible reconstruction may have to be done at the expense of the Daniels Corporation if the final noise study results deem this to be necessary. Mr. DeMelo requested that Council remove clause 104 from the conditions for approval of subdivision. Mr. Remo Agostino, Senior Project Manager with ,the Daniels Corporation, addressed General Committee to provide additional information and to address previously raised concerns with regard to the limited size of garages, measuring 2.75m x 6m in 41 of the townhouse units within the proposed development.

Mr. Mascarin provided an explanation for the inclusion of clause 104 within the Town of Aurora's conditions for approval, advising that the gas pressure reduction station is identified as a known stationary noise source. Mr. Mascarin advised that The Ministry of Environment has a Noise Assessment Criteria in its Land Use Planning Guidelines which requires that any developer who is building near a stationary noise source is obligated to mitigate the noise coming from that noise source or ensure that the noise source is not impacting the development which is being constructed. Mr. Mascarin concluded by requesting that clause 104 remain in the conditions for approval of subdivision as originally worded. -18- GENERAL COMMITTEE AGENDA GC Minutes - Dec 1, 2009 - 5 JANUARY 19, 2010 , General Committee Meeting Minutes Tuesday, December 1, 2009 Page 6 of 9 General Committee recommends: THAT the comments of the delegates be received for information.

YORK TRANSIJT PROCESSES FOR MOBILITY PLUS DELEGATION - (a) - 5 To improve our service for our passengers and make it as cost- effective as possible, we have implemented two processes that may impact your upcoming trips. If you have any questions, please contact us. SUBSCRIPTION TRIPS Process for cancellations Passengers who cancel 50 per cent or more of their subscription trips within a one month period will be contacted by Mobility Plus staff to find out if their travel needs have changed. LATE CANCELLATIONS AND NO-SHOWS Point -based process in effect If the high cancellation rate continues, we wilt ask the passenger to book individual trips instead. These passengers may re -apply for subscription service after 90 days. If you need to change the timeslots of your subscription trips, please call us to make adjustments. Thank you for your continued cooperation.' The table on the reverse page explains the point system in detail. Please note: > A cancellation is late if it is reported to the call centre after noon on the day before the > required trip. Based on the point system, all late cancellations count as one point and all no-shows count as two points. The return portion of the trip will also be considered as a late cancellation or no-show, resulting in a total of two points for a late cancellation and four points for a no-show. ALL points will be on a passenger's record for a one-year period Trips for medical appointments will be reviewed and are at the discretion of the Mobility Plus Manager Next steps taken at various point levels will occur within two days and can be appealed within seven days This new process will help improve service for all of our passengers. -28- GENERAL COMMITTEE AGENDA DELEGATION - (a) - 6 JANUARY 19 2010 ACCESSIBILITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE AGENDA DECEMBER.97 2009 Tyler. Barker Thank you for the opportunity to speak to Aurora's Accessibility Advisory Committee. I am currently a 23 year oleo student at Seneca College studying Business and Human Resources. I would like to bring to your attention my concerns and issues with York Region Mobility Transit. I feel that there are many issues that need to be discussed. 1) When I call to book my rides I have to do so 27 hours in advance. This can be hard to do as a 23 year old student with a busy life. 2) If 1 cancel my ride within less than 24 hours 1 get a demerit point which goes on any record for tip to 1 year. I cannot always predict when I will need a cancel a ride due to health considerations and/or other issues. Once accumulated, these demerit points can result in a loss of service. . 3)1 can only get rides when I pre -book and am not able to use most vans. Igo to Seneca three times per week. Unfortunately I cannot book extra rides if I need to do extra work, presentations or research. For example, if I need to go to class on a Wednesday, I cannot book a ride due to the fact that Mobility Plus says my wheelchair is too big. They only have one rear -entry van that can accommodate my chair in all of York Region. It is very difficult for me to fit into the side loader vans. I feel that there should be more than one rear -entry van in all of York Region. I was told by the dispatcher at York Region Transit that there used to be two rear -entry vans but one was destroyed due to a fire and has not been replaced. 4) The fact that there is only one York Region bus after six pm on weeknights is also unreasonable. It makes it very hard for me to schedule my classes. It also does not allow for a backup if the bus breaks down. Thank you very much for your time, Regards, Tyler Barker .9. 29 - GENERAL COMMITTEE AGENDA JANUARY 19, 2010 Dear Mr. Klees, DELEGATION - (a) - 7 November 26, 2009 Mr. Tyler Barker _ 18 Hammond Dr Aurora ON L4G 2T9 I am sending you this letter after dictating my concerns to your Assistant, Suzanne Bolton. I attend Seneca College, Finch Campus for Business Human Resources Administration and have been there since September 2009. I am wheelchair bound and have a scribe to assist me at school. My double XL wheelchair requires a van with rear entry access. . Since I started school in September I have been dissatisfied with Mobility YRT service. I usually have the same schedule every week, Monday, Thursday and Friday, but there are sometimes when I have to stay late for assignments and/or group presentations or, go in on a Wednesday. When this happens I contact them days in advance but they struggle about it and then sometimes say, "no we can't assist". I am then left to ask my mother to drive me if possible. It is my goal to be less dependent on my parents. I would like better flexibility of service. Presently if I need to change the pick-up or drop-off times I have to give 26 hours notice. Due to the changes I often experience I am notable to allow for this much advance notice. I have since September lost 6 points and 1 was able to get them to change this to 3 points but the policy is very punitive and stressful.. I would like changes to be made to the policy to remove the point system and to get assurance that when I ask for changes in advance they will accommodate me. I would like Mobility to take a took at the Ontario March of Dimes service. They do not use a point. system. Would you please see what you can do to improve Mobility Service.

The first phase of the project will consist of 10 utility scale wind turbines, each 400 feet high with a 2 Megawatt capacity.

BACKGROUND In 2006, Town Council endorsed the concept of closer collaboration with neighbouring municipalities in Northern York Region (N6), to review areas of mutual interest in the operational and administrative service areas. Since that time, the CAO has provided annual status reports to Council on N6 activities, general comments on effectiveness and an indication as to future initiatives. This report covers the 2009 time period. COMMENTS The Northern York Region municipalities collaborated on a number of projects in 2009 that enhanced efficiencies and effectiveness. These include new and continuing initiatives, as described below. Economic Development Joint economic development initiatives between and among the Northern 6 Municipalities and the Region continued throughout 2009. While each area municipality and the Region maintain their own economic development programs, these programs are augmented through collaborative economic development initiatives that benefit from a partnership approach. -76- GENERAL COMMITTEE AGENDA JANUARY 19, 2010 ITEM # 7-2 January 19, 2010 - 2 Report No. CA010-001 In 2009, several collaborative projects of note were accomplished. These initiatives include awareness building campaigns highlighting economic opportunities to the north; Globe and Mail Newspaper supplement distributed to 100,000 home and office subscribers throughout the GTA and Golden Horseshoe area in March 2009, business investment; sponsorship of the 2009 Fail Seminar of the Society of Industrial and Office Realtors, and specific area based needs, WS/King Broadband Connects partnership between the Town of Whitch urch-Stouffville; Township of King and York Region to identify gaps in high speed internet access and follow up with Internet Service Providers. Additional projects are planned for 2010, including a study of strategic employment lands. The six municipalities and the Region are currently developing a Northern York Region Economic Development Partnership Memorandum of Understanding to provide framework for future collaborative initiatives. Fire Services While it is understood there is already excellent co-operation between and among all fire services through automatic aid, mutual aid as well as purchase of service agreements, it is acknowledged that there might be further opportunities for consideration. A very recent example of working collaboratively has been the recent decision of the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville to move its Fire Dispatch service to the Town of Richmond Hill Dispatch Centre thus joining Aurora, East Gwillimbury, Georgina and Newmarket by benefiting from one service provider. It is important to recognize that, in the main, fire services within the N6 use a combination of full time and volunteer fire fighters. There is no question that the ability to continue to use the services of volunteer fire fighters is essential from an affordability, financial sustainability and operational point of view. It; therefore, seems that the best opportunity for maximizing respective interests to provide the most affordable and effective fire protection service is through our capital investment in the construction of any needed fire halls and the acquisition of major equipment. The CAO's are aware that significant growth is forecast for the area and new capital infrastructure will be required. If the municipalities collectively consider that within many of the respective communities, the growth will occur within and around existing individual Towns that may be geographically closer to a community in another municipality. Municipalities may be able to be more strategic about where the capital infrastructure and major equipment should be located. The N6 CAO's are recommending that the next round of fire service master planning for the N6 municipalities occur at the same time in 2013 and in a coordinated manner that specifically considers these opportunities. To prepare for that exercise it may be appropriate to retain consulting assistance to develop the respective terms of reference for future Master Plan updates. This approach is supported by our Fire Chiefs. Georgina has just begun its Fire Master Plan exercise and it is anticipated that this plan -77- GENERAL COMMITTEE AGENDA JANUARY 19, 2010 ITEM # = s January 19, 2010 - 3 - Report No. CA010-001 will begin to consider the possibility of this kind of opportunity. Central York completed its Master Plan update in 2008 and Wh Itch u rch-Stouffvil le in early 2009. East Gwillimbury's last plan was completed in 2006 and is under review. King's plan was completed in 2006 and an implementation plan is scheduled for 2010, Should the outcome of this exercise confirm opportunities for locating capital facilities that can purposefully be designed and planned to service communities in another municipality, N6 municipalities will individually be able to incorporate the growth related capital costs associated with these services in the respective development charge bylaws, collect development charges and apply them to capital costs incurred in another municipality. We are also recommending that the respective Fire Chiefs continue to meet to share information and consider opportunities to make shared strategic equipment purchases, share training opportunities and to identify, explore and begin to implement other initiatives where efficiency and effectiveness can be demonstrated. Human Resources — Training, Learning and Development (TLD) There is a growing need to ensure that municipal staff receive the training, learning and development (TLD) required to meet the ongoing legislative demands and to deliver on the various programs and services provided by the municipalities. Opportunities provided to staff for TLD in the respective organizations supports a positive work environment, organizational loyalty and service excellence. To assist in the efficient and effective delivery of training and professional development the N6 Human Resource Managers have reviewed shared opportunities for the joint delivery of training, learning and development and provided the following insight. An in- depth review of the training, learning and development provided in each of the N6 municipalities identified a significant opportunity for collaboration that would yield a variety of benefits. To that end, the TLD Committee recommended training in 2010 is focused on mid level management and development of this group as future leaders of the organization. The Committee proposed a funding model that would ensure appropriate cost allocations based on utilization of the various programs as well as the establishment of a mechanism for recovery of administrative costs associated with the coordination of the training, regardless of where this is undertaken. There was unanimous agreement to support a collaborative approach to TLD in 2010 utilizing the TLD Steering Committee. The Committee will develop a 2010 budget for final approval. The Committee reinforced the commitment required by each municipality for this venture to be successful as highlighted below. Organizational support from the top down Development of a communications plan to support the introduction of the initiative in each municipality -78- GENERAL COMMITTEE AGENDA JANUARY 19, 2010 ITEM # 7 - 4 January 19, 2010 14 - Report No. CA010-001 • Ensuring management staff are aware of and support staff attendance at training, learning and development opportunities • Maintenance of the N6 HR Steering Committee • Training dollars to support the collaborative initiative, accountable through the Human Resources Department • Development of peer trainers • Sharing the administrative costs associated with this undertaking Reviewing the model at the end of the first year of operation with a funding update after six months • Allow for flexibility/discretion as with any new initiative there will be some hurdles along the way. Accessibility Standards for Customer Service All Municipalities in Ontario are required to comply with Accessibility.Standards for Customer Service by January 1, 2010. The N6 Human Resources group, led by the Town of Newmarket started preparing Policies and Procedures as a group which were then adapted to fit each municipality. In combination with this a Train the Trainer program was set up in Newmarket to train interested staff to participate so that they could train their peers. This group of N6 employees from across the various municipalities started preparing presentations of one and three hour lengths. All information from policies and procedures to training materials was reviewed by each group for feedback. Training has started across all organizations and the Northern 6 municipalities will comply with the required Accessibility Standards for Customer Service deadline of January 1, 2010. This has been an extremely successful undertaking by the N6 municipalities. Business Continuity Plan — Pandemic Preparedness The N6 Human Resources Group, led by the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville Human Resources group has coordinated the development of the business continuity plan which outlines specific roles and responsibilities required during an influenza pandemic to ensure the continued existence of our organizations in the event of a major disruption. The N6 have established a set of guidelines and procedures that will ensure.the maintenance of critical services through the identification of necessary resources such as personnel, information, equipment, infrastructure protection etc. During a pandemic, municipalities may experience a disruption in operations due to high staff absenteeism. The Human Resource staff are working with the Fire Chiefs and/or Emergency Management Coordinators to review the plan for consistency in all departments and ensure that the plan addresses all critical elements. By establishing the Pandemic Business Continuity Plan and establishing the guidelines, policies and procedures for activation in the event of a Pandemic, our municipalities will gain the ability to react quickly and appropriately. For other emergencies, this plan can and will be adapted for use. -79- GENERAL COMMITTEE AGENDA JANUARY 19, 2010 January 19, 2010 - 6 - Report No CAO10 001 Drinking Water Quality Management Systems (DWQMS) The DWQMS process will replace the current C of A permit and will streamline (and consolidate) the implementation of any changes to the municipality's system(s). With approval from the Ministry of the Environment (MOE) with respect to processes, the municipalities will have increased authority over operation and management drinking water systems, N6 municipalities have now had their Operational Plans endorsed by their respective Councils and submitted their DWQMS documentation to the Province for review by the Canadian General Standards Board. The Northern 6 have worked cooperatively to facilitate the process, for example, sharing Operational Plans. The N6 municipalities will continue to work together as an internal audit is required annually and an external audit every three years by MOE. Most works/documentation were completed individually, but all information was shared throughout the group to avoid duplication and to have similar documentation presented to MOE. Once the Province has examined the submitted documents and provided feedback, the N6 group will work collaboratively to resubmit (if necessary) finalized versions of documents for final approval by the Province. There are options with respect to "N6 training," for example having operator or emergency training together (i.e. all N6 operational staff attending the same specific workshops instead of each municipality organizing training on their own) Solid Waste The N6 municipalities are just heading into year three of the joint solid waste collection program with its various green bin and recycling applications. This program is continually being monitored both technically and administratively by the N6 CAO's and Engineers and is performing to expectations and positive results. Internal Audit The Internal Audit program through the Region of York continues to provide resources to the collective management group and individual N6 municipalities in undertaking due diligence on those matters of internal control and accountability that face each of our member municipalities on a daily basis. The Future Various topics for collaboration are continually being explored by the N6 CAO's for recommendations to our Mayors and Councils for exploration of benefits, cost reductions and accountability of the. Member group; collectively and individually. -80- GENERAL COMMITTEE AGENDA JANUARY 19, 2010 ITEM # 7 - 6 January 19, 2010 - 6 - Report No. CA010-001 Possibilities of future undertakings include: • Energy (gas, electricity, solar etc) procurement Development of joint submissions for member municipalities on Regional OPA's, Water, Sewer and Transportation Master Plans, Greenbelt Belt review to name a few possibilities • Review of Library of Services • Joint Responses to broadly based Region of York Planning and Development Initiatives such as Employment Lands and 400 Series Highways Review of water and sewer billing ALTERNATIVES TO THE RECOMMENDATION Not endorsing the continued discussions and collaboration as outlined in this report. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS Any budgetary impact will be identified in subsequent reports on an initiative -by -initiative basis. CONCLUSIONS The CAO's continue to find great benefit in the N6 collaborative approach, where appropriate, with respect to service delivery, coordination of effort, joint review of emerging issues, and sharing of information, policies and procedures.

PURPOSE OF THE REPORT To provide Council with background information on the provision of external legal services and to request an extension of the agreements with the Town's pre -approved roster of firms. -222- GENERAL COMMITTEE AGENDA JANUARY 195 2010 ITEM #13-2 January 19 2010 - 2 - Report No. LGL10-001 BACKGROUND On July 13, 2004, Council, pursuant to Corporate Report ADM04-017, approved the issuance of Request for Proposal ("RFP") AD2004-45 inviting proposals for the provision of external legal services for the Town. During this widely advertised process, an, Evaluation Committee consisting of the Chief Administrative Officer, Town Clerk, and Town Solicitor was struck to evaluate the Proponents' submissions with input from the Director of Planning. Seven (7) firms were intensively interviewed by the Evaluation Committee to further explore the capabilities represented in the Proponents' respective responses to the RFP. The interview process also confirmed the Proponents' knowledge/experience, pricing, and electronic technology capability. Subsequently, on December 7, 2004, Council awarded the RFP to a roster of firms based on their competitive pricing and competencies in the various areas of law. With the award of the RFP, the roster of firms were to provide external legal services for a three (3) year term, which expired on December 31, 2007. Council further extended the agreements with the below -noted roster of firms on December 11, 2007, for a further two-year term pursuant to Corporate Report ADM07-015. AREA OF LAW General Municipal LEGAL FIRM Weir Foulds, LLP (Primary Service Provider) Aird & Berlis LLP Gowling Lafleur Henderson LLP Thomson Rogers LLP Planning and Development Weir Foulds, LLP (Primary Service Provider) Aird & Berlis LLP Gow/ing Lafleur Henderson LLP Thomson Ro ers Litigation Paterson MacDougall LLP Thomson Rogers Environmental INII ms & Shier Environmental Lawyers LLP Gowling Lafleur Henderson LLP The agreements with the above -noted roster of firms for the provision of external legal services expired on December 31, 2009. Legal Services forwarded correspondence to the six (6) successful proponents in the previous RFP, requesting an extension of the Town's current agreements with each firm for a further one (1) year period on the same terms and conditions as those for the period of 2005-2009. All six (6) firms have indicated that they are agreeable to continue with the same provisions of the existing RFP award, with three (3) of the six (6) firms responding with the requirement for a standard fee increase. The firm of Hicks, Morley, Hamilton, Stewart and Storie LLP is the Town's primary service provider for labour and employment issues and was not included in the RFP for external 223 - GENERAL COMMITTEE AGENDA ITEM JANUARY 199 2010 January 19, 2010 3 - Report No LGL10 001 legal services. Hicks, Morley, Hamilton, Stewart and Storie LLP continues to meet the Towns service expectations and has acted on behalf of the Town fora considerable period of time. COMMENTS The Town has been well and ably served by its current roster of external legal services providers. The responses to the request for an extension of the current agreements will allow the Town to maintain consistency and achieve competitive and secure fixed rates for future services. There is always an inherent increase in costs in selecting new legal counsel'due to the time it takes for a firm and its members to familiarize themselves with the Town's corporate culture, the personnel and documents such as the Official Plan and Zoning By -Laws. Further, based on the equitable responses received by the firms, it would not be more advantageous for the Town to issue a new RFP as no new value would be added at this time. This renewal option is currently in the best interests of the Town. Not only does it provide choice and flexibility, the screening of the firms has already been conducted. Extending the provision for a further one (1) year period ensures the Town has a listing of pre - qualified firms, and allows a broader spectrum of representation with very specific expertise. This extension will also allow the Town to maintain a competitive, secured fee structure with these law firms and aid the Town in ensuring accountability and consistency with its legal representation. It is essential that there be the ability for selection of the most appropriate firm to represent the Town, not only to protect the Town in conflict of interest issues, but also to ensure that appropriate legal representation that fits the type/level of service required by the Town, depending upon each circumstance is ultimately secured. Where there are exceptional circumstances which would require the retainer of an alternative firm to represent and protect the Town's best interests other than those recommended, the Town Solicitor also needs to have the ability to retain such alternative counsel on an as -needed and exceptional basis. ALTERNATIVE(S) TO THE RECOMENDATIONS 1. To not extend the contract at this time and issue a new RFP for the provision of external legal services which could result in a less advantageous fee structure than recommended by way of this Report; or 2. Obtain legal services as deemed necessary and as required by the Town Solicitor without a roster or a pre -contracted rate which could result in a less advantageous fee structure than proposed in this Report. - 224 - GENERAL COMMITTEE AGENDA JANUARY 1% 2010 ITEM#13-a January 19 2010 - 4 - Report No. LGL10-001 FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS The Legal Services Department has recommended in its 2010 Budget submission that Council approve an amount of $150,000.00 for External Legal Services. Although staff cannot estimate what level of service will be required in the future, the opportunity to utilize a roster of firms with fixed rates for a continued one (1) year period will ensure the expenses incurred for the provision of external legal services remain strictly controlled and as financially beneficial to the Town as possible, in conjunction with the best legal representation possible being obtained by the Town. CONCLUSIONS The current term pursuant to the prior RFP for the provision of external legal services has expired. It is in the Town's best interests to procure secured rates for services from law firms, which are able to meet its unique needs and best represent the Town. The relationship the Town has already established with the above firms and their willingness to extend the provisions of the contract for an additional one (1) year term on a fair and equitable basis arguably makes the issuance of a new RFP cost -prohibitive and unnecessary at this time. Council's approval of the extension of the current agreement for a one (1) year period is sought at this time along with authorization for the Town Solicitor to retain any of the approved firms and where circumstances necessitate, any other firm required to be retained on an exceptional and as -needed basis.

Lots 3, 6, 57 & 65, Plan 65114-4079 File No. D12-PLC-09-09 (Related File: D12-00-1A) FROM: Marco Ramunno, Director of Planning and Development Services DATE: January 19, 2010 THAT Council approve Application for Exemption from Part Lot Control submitted by Country Wide Homes at Aurora Inc. to divide Lots 3, 6, 57 and 65 on Plan 65M- 4079 into eight (8) separate lots; and, THAT Council enact By-law 5202-10. PURPOSE The purpose of this report is to seek Council's approval of a part lot control exemption by-law applying to Lots 3, 6, 57 and 65 on Plan 65M-4079. Part Lot Control Exemption Defined Section 50 of the Planning Act grants municipalities the authority to pass a By-law to exempt lands within a Plan of Subdivision from the Part Lot Control provisions in the Act. This process is used to lift Part Lot Control restrictions from lands within registered plans of subdivision to create parcels for sale. It usually is used for semi-detached and townhouse developments after construction has started to accurately set the boundary lines between the residential units. BACKGROUND Proposal Country Wide Homes at Aurora Inc. is currently developing a portion of the subject lands within the St. John's Road Development plan of subdivision. Exemption from Part Lot Control has been applied for eight (8) link dwelling lots fronting onto Lewis Honey Drive and Reynolds Crescent (see Figure 1). Location/Land Use The lands subject to the Part Lot Control application form part of Phase II of the St. Johns Road Development Limited (File: D12-00-1A) plan of subdivision, located on the -226- GENERAL COMMITTEE AGENDA JANUARY 197 2010 ITEM#14-2 January 19 2010 - 2 - Report No. PL10-001 east side of Bayview Avenue just south of St. John's Sideroad. The overall development comprises of 655 residential units, including single detached, semi- detached and link dwellings. Council approved the Subdivision Agreement for this development on April 22, 2008 and the subject Phase of the Plan was registered on July 28, 2008. Official Plan The subject lands are designated "Low -Medium Density Residential" by Official Plan Amendment No. 30 (Bayview Northeast Area 2B Secondary Plan). This designation allows the subject lands to be developed for a range of residential dwelling types which includes the link dwelling units that are the subject of this application. Therefore, the proposed development is consistent with the policies and objectives of this designation. Zoning By-law The subject lands are zoned "Semi-detached and Duplex Dwelling Third Density (113-17) Exception Zone" by the Town of Aurora Zoning By-law 2213-78, as amended. The link dwelling units and the associated lot areas and frontages proposed by the subject application comply with the provisions of this zone category. COMMENTS The applicant is requesting an exemption from Part Lot Control (as provided for under Section 50(7) of the Planning Act) for Lots 3, 6, 57 and 65 on Plan 65M-4079 as a means of achieving the proposed lot divisions. Houses are currently being built on the subject lands. The subject application was circulated to all relevant internal departments and no objections to the proposal were received. The lots that comprise the subject application comply with the provisions of both the Official Plan and the Zoning By-law and are consistent with the Subdivision Agreement registered over the subject lands. ALTERNATIVE (S) TO THE RECOMENDATION None. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS None. CONCLUSIONS The Planning and Development Services Department has reviewed the subject Part Lot Control Exemption Application in the context of the Official Plan, the Zoning By-law and Subdivision Agreement respecting the subject lands. Planning and Development Services Staff support the subject Part Lot Control Exemption Application to facilitate - 227 GENERAL COMMITTEE AGENDA JANUARY 199 2010 January 19, 2010 - 3 - Report No PL10 001 the creation of 8 lots for link dwelling units and accordingly, recommend that By-law 5202-10 be enacted.
