Dear Madam Mayor and Council Members:
At the November 27th meeting we will be presenting a compelling case
for the support of one of the most innovative transportation initiatives ever
undertaken in Central York. We have been working with your previous
Budget Committee through Wayne Jackson prior to his departure this past
year. Since then, CAO, John Rogers and you, Madam Mayor have
assisted us on our funding request. It was our understanding that Aurora
was close to approving the $30,000 requested previously by us to keep
the program running for its second year. Now in our second year, we are
requesting that the Town of Aurora support the program in its third year of
operation to help promote the reduction of single vehicle commutes by
area employees.
A Brief Overview: The Smart Commute Program
The Smart Commute program was founded by the municipalities across
the Greater Toronto & Hamilton area supported by Transport Canada's
Urban Showcase program four years ago and has grown into a successful
transportation demand management program now fully funded by local
and regional municipalities like York and Newmarket. The Smart
Commute program is fully operational in many other municipalities and
Chambers such as the City of Toronto, Mississauga, the Regions of York,
Peel, & Durham along with the successful 404-7 group in
Markham/Richmond Hill. Our current program is delivered by the
Newmarket Chamber of Commerce as per one of two program delivery
models outlined in the Smart Commute Association's terms of reference
which mirrors the 404-7 model now in its third year.

COUNCIL-_NOVEMBER 27, 2007
In June of 2006, the Region of York, the Town of Newmarket and the
Chamber of Commerce entered into an agreement to deliver the Smart
Commute program to Aurora and Newmarket area businesses to help
reduce traffic congestion, and the accompanying greenhouse gas
emissions. Our Smart Commute program here in Newmarket - Aurora
kicked off in April of 2007.

All three area Chambers of Commerce, Aurora, East Gwillimbury and

to our area businesses. We ask that you carefully consider the benefits to
the local and greater economy as well as the benefits to the environment
of supporting this program starting in 2008.
Moving Forward with Smart Commute & The Town of Aurora
In the Town's Strategic Plan Update, key opportunities have been outlined
in areas such as making Aurora more walking friendly, working with the
expanded transit such as Viva to encourage residents to take public
transit, promoting healthy living and reducing single occupant vehicle

COUNCIL - NOVEMBER 27, 2007
trips. All of the Smart Commute objectives are in keeping with The Town
of Aurora's vision for the future.
We have the support of The Town of Aurora's Environmental Advisory
Committee as well as the Aurora Chamber of Commerce. Including the
Town's logo on our partnership literature would be a "good news" story
that Aurora could showcase to its stakeholders as a leader in sustainable
transportation initiatives in Central York.
We invite you to learn about the program, its benefits and ask the hard
questions that need to be asked when weighing your Budget decisions.
We hope that you will vote, "yes" to supporting our program beginning in
2008. We'd like to thank you for participating in the recent commuter
survey and we look forward to rolling out the program with all of the staff
of the Town of Aurora in the next few weeks.
Sincerely,
Debra Scott

Height
The subject zoning by-law amendment application was considered at the second Public
Planning Meeting held on August 16th, 2007 at which time, staff advised Council that
further investigation of the impacts, if any, of the proposed maximum height at 13.4 m (44
ft.) would be evaluated.
The applicant proposes a maximum height of 13.4 m (44 ft.). The proposed height is
greater than other maximum heights within other R1 and R2 zones in which the maximum
heights ranges from 10.0 m (32.8 ft.). to 11.0 m (36.0 ft). It is noted that building height
according to the by-law is measured between the average finished grade and the mean
distance between the eaves and ridge of a gabled roof. The applicant has provided a
justification letter in regard to the request for the maximum height of 13.4 metres (see
appendix "B"). The applicant has submitted that the proposed dwelling units are designed
with floor to ceiling heights of approximately 3.0 m (10ft.); which are higher than the
average home. With the varied topography, the applicant has stated that many of the units
allow for walkout conditions which expose some area of the basement. The applicant also
notes that the designs of the homes require large roof areas and tall roofs in order to allow
the upper storeys to be built into them.
In a preliminary review of other municipalities (including Town of Richmond Hill, Town of
Markham and the City of Vaughan),. it was noted that the average maximum height was
approximately 11.0 m (36 ft.). The municipalities stated that the measurement of the
height depends on the type of roof etc.
Peer -Review
Staff requested one of the Town's controlling architect firms, Watchorn Architects Inc.
provide a peer review of the proposed height to consider any impacts of the increased
building height to 13.4 m (44 ft.) (see Appendix "C"). Watchorn concluded that "the
applicant's request for increased maximum building heights to 13. 4 m (44 ft) to be
acceptable given the parameters and context of the proposed development."
Holding Provision (H)
In accordance York Region's condition of draft plan of condominium " all residential zoned
lands shall be placed under a holding symbol 'H' pursuant to the provisions of Section 36
of the Ontario Planning Act, which shall prohibit the development of lands until the 'H'
symbol has been lifted. The conditions for lifting the'H' symbol shall include and form part
of the implementing zoning by-law".
Prior to the removal of the "(H)" Holding prefix, the following shall have been complied with:
