TOWN OF AURORA
AURORA GENERAL COMMITTEE REPORT No. PW07-001
SUBJECT: Interim Contract for the Collection and Haulage of Collectable Waste
and Recyclables — May 1, 2007 to August 31, 2007
FROM: W. H. Jackson, Director of Public Works
DATE: February 6, 2007
RECOMMENDATIONS
THAT the interim contract for the collection and haulage of collectable waste and
recyclables for the period May 1, 2007 to August 31, 2007 inclusive, under the same
terms and conditions as presently exist and as outlined in Report No. PW07-001, be
awarded to Turtle Island Recycling Corporation;
THAT Council authorize the Mayor and Clerk to sign an agreement with Turtle island
Recycling Corporation for the interim collection and haulage of collectable waste
and recycling in the Town ofAurora in general conformity with Report No. PW07-001
and that such signatures shall not occur until the C.A.O. and Town Solicitor have
reviewed and approved the agreement, and
THAT the 2007 Draft Operating Budget be adjusted to reflect the resultant waste
management cost amendments as detailed in Report No. PW07-001.
BACKGROUND
Council, at its meeting of April 4, 2006, in considering Report PW06-016, approved the
extension of Miller Waste System's current contract with a termination date of May 1, 2007.
Additionally, Council, at its meeting of September 5, 2006 in considering Report PW06-
046, entitled "Northern 6 Municipalities Joint Waste Collection Contract — Results of
Request for Proposals" approved, among other items:
"THAT RFP No. CRFP-06-01 for the "Collection and Haulage of Collectable
Waste" be awarded to Turtle Island Recycling Corporation."
COMMENTS
1. Existing Contract
The existing waste collection and haulage contract expires on May 1, 2007. Miller Waste
System's (Miller) is the Town's present contractor and their contract had been extended a
number of times. At the time of the last extension, the final details and proposed
GENERAL COMMITTEE - FEBRUARY 6, 2007
February 6, 2007 - 2 - Report No. PW07-001
commencement date of the new 3-Stream collection program were not exactly known and
as such, only a year extension was granted. Subsequently, it was decided that in
conjunction with the other 5 Northern municipalities the collection of source separated
organics (SSO) would begin in September 2007. Accordingly, the Town must now deal
with the time period between the termination of the existing waste contract (May 1, 2007)
and the beginning of the new Turtle Island Recycling Corporation (Turtle Island) agreement
(September 1, 2007).
2. Request for Proposals
Our existing contractor and our future contractor were requested to submit proposals to
undertake our waste collection for the period May 1, 2007 to August 31, 2007 inclusive.
During this period, the existing terms and conditions of our present contract are to be
maintained with no level of service adjustments. Both contractors submitted proposals as
shown in Appendix "A" and "B".
Undertaking a proposal request in this manner is acceptable under the various sections of
the Town's purchasing policy dealing with the ability of the Town to negotiate a contract
and also under the section dealing with Extraordinary Circumstances. The Town's
Purchasing Coordinator has been consulted on this matter and is in agreement with this
process.
3. Interim Costs
The costs submitted for the collection of waste and recyclables forthe period May 1, 2007
to August 31, 2007 as outlined in Appendices "A" and "B" are as follows:
Turtle Island Recycling $356,000
Miller Waste Systems $542,000
The proposed Miller price was calculated using their existing prices plus the 7.5%
escalation they requested.
4. Budget Implications
The draft 2007 Operating Budget for the collection and haulage of waste and recycling
material was generated assuming the contracted service for the first 8 months of the year
would be provided by Miller at the same costs that would exist as of January 1, 2007 and
with Turtle Island providing the contracted service for the last 4 months of the year at the
cost obtained from the Northern 6 Request for Proposals.
As can be seen in Section 3, the cost for Miller has increased beyond what was estimated
for the draft budget. Nevertheless, given the price submitted by Turtle Island, the draft
2007 budget for waste management collection costs could still be reduced by $151,000 if
all other aspects of the budget estimate remained constant.
—39—
GENERAL COMMITTEE - FEBRUARY 6, 2007
February 6, 2007 - 3 - Report No. PW07-001
As part of the ongoing discussion with the Northern 6 municipalities, it has been
determined that a consistent, comprehensive and thorough advertising campaign is
required to ensure a successful implementation of SSO collection. A figure of $3 per
household outside of the costs of the production and distribution of our yearly waste
calendar would be required to fund such an advertising campaign. In Aurora's case, this
would amount to a total advertisement budget in the order of $55,000. At present, our draft
budget includes $35,000 for advertising including the calendar. Based on the Northern 6
discussions and recommendations from the media relations people, in staff's opinion, it
would be prudent to utilize $20,000 of the savings from the Turtle Island interim collection
proposal to top up the 2007 advertising budget. It is noted that the advertisement budget
for waste and recycling can probably be reduced in 2008 once the SSO collection has
been implemented and has been operational for a time.
In addition to the above, there has been some discussion at Council budget meetings
around the provision of additional blue boxes for Town residents to encourage recycling.
With the savings to be achieved as noted above, it may be prudent to utilize $40,000 of the
savings to purchase and distribute an additional 5,000 blue boxes to those residents who
need an additional box. If Council wishes to proceed in this manner, the Capital Budget
sheet for the blue box purchase could be amended to the above noted quantity with an
amended source of funding.
The above two additional expenses totaling $60,000 would still allow a reduction in the
2007 draft Operating Budget by $91,000.
5. Discussion
As Council is aware, Turtle Island will assume the collection of our waste and recyclable
materials in September of this year. At that time, the level of service for our residents and
business people will change dramatically with a weekly collection of organic material and
recyclables and an every second week collection of landfill material.
On top of the savings that can be realized by using Turtle Island to collect our waste and
recycling material for the period May 1, 2007 to August 31, 2007, it will also give the
contractor a chance to become integrated into Aurora before the September level of
service changes. From a resident's perspective, very little will change during the interim
period of May 1, 2007 to August 31, 2007. All curbside waste, recycling, yard waste and
white good collections will remain as they are today.
The only exception to the above is the telephone number people will need to call to
schedule the collection of white goods. The existing number presently connects direct to
Miller Waste and, accordingly, this will need to be changed so that it connects to Turtle
Island. Staff will be working with Turtle Island to ensure their familiarization with our
operation to ensure a smooth transition.
—40—
GENERAL COMMITTEE — FEBRUARY 6, 2007
February 6, 2007 - 4 - Report No. PW07-001
OPTIONS
Council may wish to retain Miller Waste Systems for the interim contract at their proposed
price escalation of 7.5% above existing costs.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
The financial implications are as noted in Section 4 where it illustrates a significant cost
savings to the 2007 collections contract component of the waste management budget.
Of the anticipated saving for the period May 1, 2007 to August 31, 2007, $20,000 is
proposed to be added to the 2007 Advertising budget for waste and recycling, $40,000 is
proposed to be used to initiate a blue box outreach program and $91,000 is proposed to be
eliminated from the 2007 draft Operating Budget.
CONCLUSIONS
Council had recently awarded the new 3-Stream waste and recycling collection contractto
Turtle Island Recycling Corporation, as part of the "Northern 6 Municipalities Joint Waste
Collection Contract"and staff have been actively preparing forthe transition to commence
in September 2007. The awarding of this interim contract to Turtle Island will not only
reduce budget costs but will aid in the transition to proceed smoothly by allowing the
contractor to become familiar with Aurora.

,Re. Waste Management Collection Contract
Thank you for your correspondence of December 12,' 2006 regarding an extension to the
existing residential waste collection contract until the week of September 17te, 2007.

extension period with 45 days written notice, at the sole discretion of Miller Waste
Systems, and that the Town of Aurora agrees to a 7.5% price escalation to all prices
currently in effect effective May 1, 2007.
We would also request clarif oation that the extension period is to continue until,
September 14, 2007 as document CUP-06-01 states in Section 3, that the new collection
agreement will commence on September 1, 2007.
We look forward to potentially being of service to the Town of Aurora in this regard.
Should you have any questions related to this potential extension period, please contact

GENERAL COMMITTEE REPORT No. CS07-008
SUBJECT: Revised Terms of Reference - Committees
FROM: Bob Panizza, Director Corporate Services
DATE: February 6, 2007
RECOMMENDATIONS
THAT the Revised Terms of Reference for Statutory and Advisory Committees
attached as Appendix #1 to this report be approved.
BACKGROUND
At the Special General Committee meetings of January 9 and 16, 2007 Members of
Council reviewed in detail the Terms of Reference for each of the Town's Statutory and
Advisory Committees and recommended a number of modifications to these terms.
COMMENTS
Attached to this report as Appendix #1 are the revised Terms of Reference of each
committee that incorporates all of the proposed amendments. As noted on the attached
documents, the revised text is shown in red print while the sections that are to be omitted
are marked with a black "strike out" line.
In addition to the proposed changes recommended by committee, staff also suggests a
number of other amendments to the Terms of Reference. For example, Heritage Advisory
Committee - Staff Support (page 9) this section has been modified to reflect the current
staff support arrangements.
It has also been brought to staffs attention that due to the statutory nature of the Library
Board and the Committee of Adjustment that Council may wish to reconsider the term of
office and establish both the Library Board and Comm. of Adjustment as four year terms
rather than the two plus two years as shown for the other committees.
According to the Public Libraries Act, Section 10 (3):
`A board member shall hold office for a term concurrent with the term of the appointing
Council, or until a successoris appointed, and maybe reappointed forone ormore further
terms."
—44—
GENERAL COMMITTEE — FEBRUARY 6, 2007
January 23, 2007 - 2 - Report No. CS07-007
Similarly, the Planning Act, Section 44 (3) states:
'The members of the committee who are not members of a municipal council shall hold
office for the term of the council that appointed them and the members of the committee
who are members of a municipal council shall be appointed annually."
With respect to the Committee of Adjustment, Members of Council may recall that the
Terms of Reference for this committee was deferred pending a report from the Director of
Planning & Development Services. Attached as Appendix #2 is a memo from the Director
that provides further details that Council may wish to consider before confirming the terms
of this committee. Correspondingly, the terms of reference for the Property Standards
Committee also requires confirmation as it too was deferred pending the outcome of the
Committee of Adjustment.
OPTIONS
Council may wish to adopt the revised terms as presented or implement further changes.

MEMORANDUM
Planning and
Development
Services
Date: February 6, 2007
To: Mayor and Members of Council
From: Sue Seibert, Director of Planning and Development Services
Re: Committee of Adjustment
General Committee at its Special Meeting of January 16, 2007 had before it the Terms
of Reference for the Committee of Adjustment. Staff were requested to provide a
further commentary on several issues discussed relative to the Committee's Terms of
Reference.
Firstly, it is important for the Committee to be aware that Aurora's format for Committee
of Adjustment represents standard practice throughout much of Ontario. Generally, as
in Aurora, Committees of Adjustment are comprised of residents of the community
picked for their ability to deal with consents to sever, minor variances from the zoning
by-law(s) and permissions as set out under Section 45 of the Planning Act. In Aurora,
orientation is provided to new committees by both the Secretary Treasurer and Planning
Staff dealing with procedures, and legislative requirements and responsibilities.
The Planning Act also allows Committees of Adjustment to deal with any by-law that
implements the Official Plan providing the option of extending the Committee's
jurisdiction. Staff are not recommending that this be followed up. Other by-laws such as
the Sign By-law have been Council's purview and we suggest it remain that way.
In terms of the constitution of the Committee Council has a number of options:
1. they can appoint members from the public, members of Council or members of
staff or the entire Council can sit as the Committee of Adjustment.
2. they can appoint a committee comprising of 3 or more members.
Staff again suggest that the status quo be maintained. Members of the public are
normally chosen based on qualifications that provide them with a background that will
be useful in assisting them to deal with the Committee of Adjustment's functions. If
Council does not agree with the Committee's decision it can appeal that decision to the
Ontario Municipal Board so there is a check provided. A committee of three requires two
members to form a quorum, hence only one member can be absent for any given
—73—
GENER TEE — FEBRUARY 6, 2007
AURORA
yoWmiiv good Compa.V
-2-
hearing. The current five member committee requires a quorum of 3 providing for some
latitude during sickness etc.
It is noted that the Planning Act provides that the members of the Committee of
Adjustment who are not members of Council shall hold office for the term of office of the
Council that appointed them. Hence the appointment should be for the full term of
Council's office.
The Committee of Adjustment performs a useful role in assisting residents dealing with
minor issues that do not comply with the Zoning By-law and creating small land
divisions, easements etc. This reduces Council's workload. As noted above, there are
checks and balances that allow Council to act should it not agree with the Committee's
decisions. The Committee is staffed by an experienced Secretary Treasurer, backup
staff have been trained to serve the Committee during her absence and professional
planners are in attendance at all Committee meetings, with the ability to bring more
senior staff should the situation warrant it.

SUBJECT: Release for Registration -Phase 3
Prato Estates Inc.
Part of Lot 22 Concession 2 EYS
File; D12-00-7A
FROM: Sue Seibert, Director of Planning and Development Services
DATE: February 6, 2007
RECOMMENDATIONS
THAT the Mayor and Clerk be authorized to execute a Subdivision Agreement
between The Corporation of the Town of Aurora and Prato Estates Inc. in
accordance with the draft approved conditions dated August 3, 2001 and revised
by order of the Ontario Municipal Board on February 21, 2002, subject to the
provision of financial payments and securities as set out on Schedules "K" and
"L" of the Agreement substantially in the form attached, and,
THAT the Mayor and Clerk be authorized to execute all documents necessary to
give effect to same.
BACKGROUND
Application Background:
The subject lands form part of a larger area situated east of Bayview Avenue that are
identified for development within Official Plan Amendment No. 30, which implements the
Bayview Northeast 2B Secondary Plan.(Figure 1) The subject lands represent one of
the four major landholdings identified for residential development within the 213
Secondary Planning Area. (Figure 2)
On August 3, 2001 the Ontario Municipal Board issued a decision held as a result of an
appeal filed by Prato Estates Limited (Prato) of their applications for a draft plan of
subdivision and zoning by-law amendment applications. The OMB order had the effect
of approving a redlined draft plan of subdivision, establishing the conditions of draft plan
approval, and implementing Zoning By-law 4294-01 D.
The Prato draft approved plan of subdivision contains a total of 575 units including 477
detached units 34 semi detached and 64 townhouse units on a variety of lot sizes, a
local commercial block, two stormwater management blocks, park and school blocks, a
future residential block and a wetland block with a buffer area. The applicant has
proceeded with development of the subject lands in three Phases. Phases 1 and 2
included a total of 350 units, wetland and buffer blocks, one stormwater management
GENERAL COMMITTEE — FEBRUARY 6, 2007
February 6, 2007 -2- Report No. PL07-007
block, school and park block and a commercial block. Council approved the subdivision
agreement for this phase of development (Phases land 2) on February 25, 2003.
Council dealt with a request to amend the zoning by-law on December 19, 2006 that
also had the effect of adding 5 lots to the development.
Phase 3 comprises of 230 detached units including the additional 5 lots that were
residual to the storm water pond and considered by Council for rezoning at the
December 19, 2006 Public Planning Meeting. The applicant is now seeking Council's
approval of the subdivision agreement, which is necessary to permit the registration of
the Phase 3 lands and will complete the development of this draft plan of subdivision.
Accordingly, this report outlines the status of where the applicant is at within the Town's
subdivision registration process and the applicant's proposal for Council's approval of
the subdivision agreement for Phase 3 of the draft plan of subdivision. (Figure 3)
Location/Land Use:
The subject lands are located east of Bayview Avenue north Wellington Street East.
The lands are currently under construction. Phases 1 and 2 of the draft plan of
subdivision have been built and the site servicing and grading for Phase 3 is near
completion. (Figure 1)
Surrounding Uses:
To the North: Residential subdivision, Minto Communities (D12-01-4A);
South: Future residential subdivision, Preserve Homes Inc. (D12-01-5A);
East: East Aurora Wetland Complex and 2C lands;
West: Commercial, `Aurora Centre' (Sobeys, Zellers).
Proposal:
Prato Estates Limited seeking to register Phase 3 of their draft plan of subdivision.
Phase 3 consists of 230 detached lots, and a future development block, Block (See
Figures 2 and 3). This phase of the development is expected to yield a population of
690 persons based on 3 persons per household.
The applicant has been proceeding with obtaining their final approvals from the Town of
Aurora of engineering, and landscape plans for the site. Both sets of drawing have
been signed by the appropriate department head. The applicant is now seeking
Council's approval of the Subdivision Agreement, which is necessary to permit the
registration of the third phase of the draft plan of subdivision.
SUBDIVISION AGREEMENT
The Town's standard subdivision agreement consists of two components. The first is
referred to as the "Precedent" component while the second comprises of a series of
schedules that set out the legal description, special conditions, financial obligations,
CIAM
GENERAL COMMITTEE — FEBRUARY 6, 2007
February 6, 2007 -3- Report No. PL07-007
security requirements, notices to purchasers etc. The precedent part of the agreement
is intended to be standard for all subdivisions while the schedules change with each
agreement. The precedent part of the agreement was recently reviewed and revised as
noted below.
PRECEDENT PART OF THE SUBDIVISION AGREEMENT
Due to recent changes to the Building Code Act the precedent portion of the subdivision
agreement has been amended. The main thrust of the amendments is to remove
references to withholding building permits as a mechanism to ensure that appropriate
services have been installed prior to their issuance. Under the new legislation and
regulations, conditions of a subdivision agreement are not considered "applicable law"
in determining whether or not the Chief Building Official shall issue a building permit.
Hence changes to the agreement have been made to acknowledge this. In preparation
for the recent changes, a bylaw was passed in October of 2005 providing for municipal
servicing to be installed prior to the issuance of a building permit and the bylaw is
considered to be "applicable law". Therefore standards that would normally be
preconditions for building permit issuance in an agreement such as water and sewer are
covered off through compliance with a bylaw.
Other changes to the precedent were also included to standardize the agreement
further and streamline the process.
SITE SPECIFIC PART OF THE SUBDIVISION AGREEMENT
The schedules of the subdivision agreement deal with all of the site specific clauses and
requirements. Most if not all of the significant issues were dealt with in the site specific
part of the subdivision agreement for Phase 1 and 2 of this development. Therefore,
the schedules of the subdivision agreement for Phase 3 of this development attached
hereto as Figure 4 were edited and revised to reflect the technical matters affecting
Phase 3 of the subdivision. These were primarily routine subdivision matters (i.e.
revised cost estimates for landscape works and public works, reference plans for the
conveyances of road allowances, reserves etc...). Matters dealt with in phases 1 and 2,
such as the conveyance of the wetlands and conditions related to monitoring of the
wetland buffers, the school and park blocks, entrance features, noise attenuation etc,
do not apply to this final phase are not included. Applicable conditions are set out in
Schedule "C".
Easements to be granted, and any one foot reserves to be conveyed to the municipality
are included on Schedule "F".
Security (Schedule "L") for the servicing, payment of the sewer and water components
of the development charges and fees for planning, engineering and review of landscape
plans are collected on a phases by phase basis. Schedule "K" sets out fees payable.
IFM
GENERAL COMMITTEE — FEBRUARY 6, 2007
February 6, 2007 - 4 - Report No. PL07-007
Notices to purchasers have also been included on Schedule "0" regarding such items
as: storm water management facilities; fencing colour, height, materials and design and
responsibility of developer/builder/homeowner; the location of community mail boxes;
parking restrictions; homeowner brochures for traffic circles and the East Aurora
Wetland Complex; and parkland proximity.
In addition, retaining walls are required along the easterly edge of the development
adjacent to the wetland buffer. The retaining walls are required to raise the eastern
portions of the developments so that the lands can drain to the trunk sanitary sewer that
services them, which is located along "Mavrinac Boulevard". This occurs throughout
much the 2B area. Due to the structural design of the wall the Building Administration
Department requires that a restrictive covenant be registered on title to the properties
adjacent to the wall restricting the erection or construction of accessory buildings or
pools and the excavation or removal of soil for tree planting or landscaping on a portion
of the rear yard.
Schedule "S" sets out proposed restrictive covenants related to the retaining walls on
lots 124-135. Reference to the areas subject to the restrictive covenants is by way of
reference plan the details of which were still being finalized upon the completion of this
report.
The text of the Subdivision Agreement has been finalized to address all the
requirements of the draft conditions for the subdivision contained within Draft Plan of
Subdivision D12-01-7A applying to this phase. The M-plan, engineering plans,
landscape plans and associated reference plans, as well as, the Subdivision Agreement
itself, have been reviewed by all Departments and meet their requirements.
COMMENTS
The subject plan of subdivision was draft approved by the OMB in 2001. The first two
phases were registered in 2003 and completed over the next 1-2 years. The community
park has been constructed and the school under construction. The current phase has
been preserviced under a preservicing agreement that was authorized by Council on
November 15, 2005. Servicing allocation was granted to the development in March of
2006. The subdivision agreement has been drafted in accordance with normal protocol
with direct input from staff of the various departments involved and reviewed by the
Legal Services Division.
The applicant is in the process obtaining letters of credit and providing financial
requirements as set out in the schedules.
OPTIONS
As per Staff's recommendations above, Council has the option of authorizing the Mayor
and Clerk to execute the subdivision agreement and associated documents subject to
the payment of fees and securities to facilitate the development of Phase 3 of the Prato
Estates Inc. plan of subdivision or Council may request further information regarding the
Im
GENERAL COMMITTEE — FEBRUARY 6, 2007
February 6, 2007 - 5 - Report No. PL07-007
draft plan of subdivision or subdivision agreement and direct staff to bring that
information back to a future Council date. Given that applicant has fulfilled the
requirements of the Town's subdivision agreement process, staff recommends this
option.
SERVICING ALLOCATION
Council allocated servicing for the remaining draft approved units on March 21, 2006 to
Prato Estates Inc. which will allow for the registration of Phase 3 of this subdivision as
proposed by the applicant at this time.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
$280,784.00 in fees and $666,080.00 in development charges totalling $1,054.095.50
are required for the registration of the agreement. Additional development charges will
be collected, at the rates that apply when building permits are issued. The
recommendation before Council requires that those fees payable at this time and
development charges, as well as required securities, be posted prior to the Town
executing the subdivision agreement.
LINK TO STRATEGIC PLAN
The Strategic Plan contains objectives to promote a sustainable community that
respects its historic culture and character and embraces diverse cultural development
and renewal in harmony with sound environmental management and business
development activity. The draft plan approval of this subdivision, the previous
registration of Phases 1 and 2 and the registration of the remaining phase of the plan
demonstrates that the objectives of the Strategic Plan have been achieved.
CONCLUSIONS
Staff are of the opinion that the applicant, Prato Estates Inc., has fulfilled the
requirements of the Town in order to finalize the subdivision agreement for the
development of the remainder (Phase 3) of the subject lands. Staff recommends that
the Mayor and Clerk be authorized to enter into a Subdivision Agreement with Prato
Estates Inc. to facilitate this development upon posting of all securities, payment of fees
and resolution of minor items respecting the restrictive covenants related to the
retaining walls on lots 124 to 135 inclusive.

SUBJECT: Zoning By-law Amendment Application
Prato Estates Inc.
Part 1, 65R-25216, Part 3, 65R-25800 and Part of Lot 22, Concession 2,
E.Y.S.
File Number: D14-15-06
FROM: Sue Seibert, Director of Planning and Development Services
DATE: February 6, 2007
RECOMMENDATION
THAT Council approve Implementing Zoning By-law Amendment being By-law
4884-07.D.
BACKGROUND
The subject lands are located on the east side of Bayview Avenue, approximately 300 m
(1000 ft.) north of Wellington Street. The plan of subdivision was given draft plan approval
on August 3, 2001, and forms part of the Phase 3 lands of Prato Estates. (see Figure 1).
The applicant has applied to the Town to amend the Zoning By-law. The requested
changes include:
to rezone the subject lands from "Major Open Space (0-9) Exception Zone" to
"Detached Dwelling Second Density Residential Holding (H) R2-74 Exception
Zone" to permit five detached lots fronting River Ridge Blvd.; (see Figure 2, area A)
• to rezone two parcels of land from "Detached Dwelling Second Density Residential
Holding (H) R2-72 Exception Zone" to "Detached Dwelling Second Density
Residential Holding (H) R2-74 Exception Zone" to correct the zoning map schedule
fronting River Ridge Blvd. and Mavrinac Blvd.; and (see Figure 2, area B)
to rezone the lands from "Major Open Space (0-9) Exception Zone" to "Detached
Dwelling Second Density Residential Holding (H) R2-71 Exception Zone" to
remove the requirements for a walkway fronting Tonner Cres.(see Figure 2, area
Ci and Cii).
The application was heard at the Public Planning Meeting held on December 19, 2006 and
was "approved in principle, subject to the resolution of outstanding issues". The Public
Planning Minutes have been deferred until staff have reviewed the final resolution for this
item, to ensure that the motion is accurately worded.
Therefore, since staff do not have a final resolution for the meeting, we have commented
—140—
GENERAL COMMITTEE — FEBRUARY 6, 2007
February 6, 2007 - 2 - Report No. PL07-008
on issues which were discussed at the Public Planning Meeting. The following report has
identified those issues which required further investigation and explanation as per residents
and Council's request.
COMMENTS
■ Viewing Platform
Staff considered the feasibility of locating a viewing platform on lands formerly designated
for a walkway. (see Figure 1, Ci). It was determined by staff that a viewing platform at this
location is undesirable. This location is not an optimal look -out due to location and
grading. Staff have determined that a more appropriate look out/vista opportunity exist
further north in the Minto Communities subdivision. The Town has agreed, in principle, to
accepting a remnant block at the east elbow of Ivy Jay Crescent where it abuts the Ducks
Unlimited lands. (see Figure 5). This location is where the grade at the street is
approximately 6.0 m (20.0 ft) higher than the adjacent open space lands. Minto will be
designing a lookout area, retaining walls, railings, benches and plantings on the slope.
Staff is in the process of working with the developer to finalize the design.
• SWM Facility
Council requested staff to investigate the appropriateness of a trail in a Stormwater
Management Pond Facility (SWM). The concerns related to safe access on the trail,
specifically the distance of the walkway to the edge of the pond, the slope/grading between
the walkway and the pond, and the feasibility of a fence between the trail and the pond's
edge.
Prato SWM Facility Design
The SWM facility is located within Block 232 of the Phase 3 subdivision development. (see
Figure 4) The SWM facility provides for two walkway accesses to the open space buffer.
A primary trail, 3.0 m (10 ft.) wide gravel trail can be accessed from Tonner Crescent, via
the maintenance access road. Due to the grade, a natural stone retaining wall is required
along the northerly and southerly part of the trail. A metal railing is required when the
height of the retaining wall is greater than 0.6 m (2.ft.).
A secondary 1.5 m (5.0 ft.) wide gravel trail accessed from McLarty Gate also accesses the
open space buffer via the maintenance access road and the primary trail. Due to the
grade, part of this trail requires a natural stone retaining wall on both sides of the trail and a
metal railing is also required when the height of the retaining wall is greater than 0.6 m (2
ft.). As shown on Figure 4, the distance from the trail to the normal water level (permanent
pool) is approximately 15 m (49 ft.) and approximately 21 m (70 ft.) from the trail to the
pond bottom.
The SWM facility provides for a variety of trees and shrubs along the perimeter of the pond
and within the waters edge. The installation of a perimeter chain link fence is also
proposed. Signs will be located in the SWM Facility which warns residents that they can
—141—
GENERAL COMMITTEE — FEBRUARY 6, 2007
February 6, 2007 - 3 - Report No. PL07-008
not swim or skate on the pond, and of the hazardous conditions and to exercise extreme
caution in this area.
Gradina and Plantin
The Town of Aurora requires SWM Facilities to be designed and constructed as per the
Ministry of the Environment "Stormwater Management Planning and Design Manual". As
per the design manual, "the grading and landscaping plan near the pond edges is
important to ensure public safety and to maximize the functionality of the pond. Terraced
grading (i.e. alternating steep and gentle slopes) is recommended to minimize the potential
for any person to fall into the pond." This SWM Facility meets the requirements of the
Ministry and has been approved by the Town's Public Works Department.
The manual also discusses "the planting strategy which is required for any wet facility to
provide shading, aesthetic, safety, bird control, enhanced pollutant removal and other
benefits. Strategic planting of thorn bearing trees, and shrubs have proven to be effective
barriers. The use of vegetation should be considered as a preferred option. Signs around
the pond indicate the pond's purpose and function and also help inform the public of the
potential for water level fluctuations on the pond during storm events." This SWM Facility
meets the planting strategy and signage recommendations set forth by the Ministry and
has been approved by the Town's Leisure Services Department.
Trails in SWM Facilities
The Town of Aurora has a number of public trails connected to SWM facilities which are
adjacent to new development areas, where lands are bounded by public parks and or open
accessible lands. The trails are located in SWM facilities which connect to Aurora Trail
system networks. As shown on Figure 6, Recreation and Leisure Map, we have identified
locations of SWM facilities which are part of the Holland River Valley Trail system
(Nokiidaa Trail). The ponds that are currently built in the 2B Secondary Plan do not have
designated walkways through them, as they are built along Bayview Avenue and back onto
the rear yards of residential lots. However, the future ponds in the 2B, are adjacent to the
valley system, and the ponds are to be trail heads for access to the future trail system in
the Wildlife Park. (see Figure 5)
SWM Facility Conclusion
At the Public Planning Meeting, concerns were raised in regards to the safety of a trail in
the SWM Facility and requested staff to investigate the option of a fence along the
perimeter of the trails. Staff have reviewed this request and are satisfied with the current
design of the SWM pond, trail locations and do not recommend a fence along the trail.
Staff have determined that the distance from the trail to the normal water level is
significant, being approximately 15 m (49 ft.) and approximately 21 m (70 ft.) from the trail
to the pond bottom. The requirement of the retaining wall with a railing provide an
additional safety measure. The required terraced grading (alternating steep and gentle
slopes) and landscaping near the pond edges minimize the potential for accidents. To
further warn residents, signage will be located in the SWM Facility warning residents that
the pond contains features which may become hazardous under certain conditions.

GENERAL COMMITTEE — FEBRUARY 6, 2007
February 6, 2007 - 4 - Report No. PL07-008
Implementina Zonina By-law Amendments
The implementing Zoning By-law Amendments are attached as "Appendix A". The site
specific by-laws include the lands to be rezoned from "Detached Dwelling Second Density
Residential Holding (H) R2-72 Exception Zone" to "Detached Dwelling Second Density
Residential Holding (H) R2-74 Exception Zone", and from "Major Open Space (0-9)
Exception Zone" and to "Detached Dwelling Second Density Residential Holding (H) R2-74
Exception Zone", and from "Major Open Space (0-9) Exception Zone" to "Detached
Dwelling Second Density Residential Holding (H) R2-71 Exception Zone".
As presented at the December 19th, 2006 Public Planning Meeting, the site specific zoning
by-law amendments requested include an administrative change to correct the zoning map
schedule for lots fronting River Ridge Blvd and Mavrinac Blvd; to remove the requirements
for a walkway for lands fronting Tonner Crescent and to permit five detached lots fronting
River Ridge Blvd. (Figure 2)
The zoning categories requested are the zones which surround the site within the current
phases of the subdivision, and the applicant has demonstrated that the lands can
accommodate the requirements of the zone categories. The proposed changes are
appropriate and compatible with the existing neighbourhood.
OPTIONS
Council has the option of enacting the Implementing Zoning By-law 4884-07.D or has the
option of directing staff to make any changes to the by-law they feel necessary.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
Not applicable.
LINK TO STRATEGIC PLAN
The Strategic Plan contains objectives to promote a sustainable community that respects
its historic culture and character and embraces diverse cultural development and renewal
in harmony with sound environmental management and business development activity.
The critical review of the subject application through the Zoning By-law Amendment
process demonstrates that the objectives of the Strategic Plan have been achieved.
SERVICING ALLOCATION
Council allocated the remaining servicing allocation (242 units) on March 21, 2006 to Prato
Estates Inc. which will allow for the registration of the Phase 3 lands including the subject
lands.

GENERAL COMMITTEE — FEBRUARY 6, 2007
February 6, 2007 - 5 - Report No. PL07-008
PROVINCIAL POLICY STATEMENT
There are no conflicts with the policies of the Provincial Policy Statement as a result of this
application.
CONCLUSIONS
An application has been submitted for a Zoning By-law Amendment application for lands
within the Prato Estates Phase 3 subdivision. This application includes a request from the
applicant for five additional detached dwellings lots to be located in the surplus stormwater
management pond lands fronting River Ridge Boulevard. Further, a request has been
made to correct the zoning map schedule for lots fronting River Ridge Blvd and Mavrinac
Blvd. which would rezone the lots to a "Detached Dwelling Second Density Residential
Holding (H) R2-74 Exception Zone". The final request is to remove the requirements for a
walkway fronting lands on Tonner Crescent as shown on the draft plan, due to grading
constraints and to relocate the trail in the SWM Facility land.
Staff have deemed the requests as minor modifications, appropriate and compatible with
the existing and future residential development. Should Council determine there is merit in
the proposal, it is recommended that By-law 4884-07.D be approved.
