D 1 COUNCIL - MARCH 28,..2006 Presentation to: Aurora Town Council March 28, 2006 A Master Plan for The Aurora Community Arboretum Presented by: The Aurora Community Arboretum Inc. www.aurowarboretwn. ca D 2 COUNCIL — MARCH 28, 2006 Aurora Community Arboretum Inc. - Briefing paper to Town of Aurora Council 22 March 2006 Aurora Community Arboretum Inc. Introduction It all started with ACAP, the Aurora Community Arboretum Project, over 10 years ago. Six Commemorative Trees were planted in the valley just west of the Town Hall in 1996 under our first Adopt -A -Park contract. There are now 120 Commemorative trees planted in the Arboretum and additional other trees as well, bringing to over 200 the trees we have brought to this beautiful park. They are owned by the Town of Aurora. Replacement cost today would be well over $50,000. ACAP, the project, is now the Aurora Community Arboretum Inc. (ACA), a not -for - profit corporation staffed by volunteers, now operating in a second 5 year contract under the Adopt -A -Park program of the Aurora Leisure Services department. Our objectives are: 1. To establish and maintain an arboretum in Aurora. 2. To establish an educational program which makes known the features and values of this natural and cultural asset to the residents of Aurora. We purchase trees that are planted in the Arboretum by the Parks Department or by a contractor. Then we nurture these trees by staking, fertilizing and mulching so they will become fine specimens. The money to pay for these trees usually comes from the purchase of a commemorative tree by an Aurora citizen who pays $500 to have a tree dedicated, with a sign that indicates the species and its dedication. The funds we generate go back into more trees or items needed for the Arboretum. However, the Aurora Community Arboretum is more than commemorative trees. We have a vision of what this beautiful parkland can be to the Town of Aurora in the future and we want to work with the town and its citizens to make it happen. That vision includes the execution of the Master Plan for the Aurora Community Arboretum. This Master Plan, once agreed to by the Aurora Town Council, will allow us to help create a park of unique character and value and a major asset to our community. Directors, Aurora Community Arboretum Inc., 2006 Gordon Barnes Shirley Binns Michael Bender Irene Clement John Clement Greg Cook Karen Fullbrook Stephen Granger Ken Smith Adriaan Van Fraassen Tom Yates D 3 COUNCIL — MARCH 28, 2006 Aurora Community Arboretum Inc. - Briefing paper to Town of Aurora Council 22 March 2006 Glossary We are including an explanation of some of the words used in the Master Plan in order to assist you in understanding the document. Arboretum: An Arboretum is a place where trees and shrubs are cultivated for scientific and educational interest. This living collection often comprises valuable wildlife habitat and space for passive recreation. Think of a `Gallery of Trees'. Caliper tree: A nursery grown specimen with a trunk diameter of 2" (50mm) or more. Caliper trees are spaced upon planting according to the tree's ftrture space needs. Specimen trees will be planted as caliper trees. The cost to purchase and plant today is around $350 each, depending on species. We expect close to 100% survival rates. Riparian: Riparian means growing on the banks of a river. The planned Riparian areas will help establish and maintain the rivers edge and cool the water to encourage fish habitat. Seedling: Seedlings are small coniferous (evergreen) trees, 2 to 3 years old. They are usually closely planted and greatly depend on the weather for survival, as in a forest. They are an economical way to re-create forest conditions with controlled species and currently cost about $3 each. Planting can be done by trained volunteer groups. Coniferous forest areas provide four season habitat and winter cover for birds and mammals. Shrub: Shrubs are multi -stemmed and variable in size. They are important as appropriate specimens as well as for defining space, providing colour contrast and diversity in an Arboretum. They are often an important food source for wildlife. They will be a critical part of the spring blossom area we wish to create as 'Flora Aurora'. Whip: Whips are small deciduous trees, 3 to 5 years old. They are usually closely planted and greatly depend on natures' bounty for survival. They are an economical way to re-create forest conditions with controlled species. Whips currently cost about $10 and can be planted by trained volunteer groups. As with seedlings, survival rates are expected to be about 50%. D 4 COUNCIL - MARCH 28, 2006 Aurora Community Arboretum Inc. - Briefing paper to Town of Aurora Council 22 March 2006 Executive Summary of the Master Plan for the Aurora Community Arboretum The Master Plan covers the environmental development envisioned for the Aurora Community Arboretum, primarily by focusing on suitable plantings in each major segment but it also includes development of a waderscrape and maintenance of specific habitats such as grasslands. ACA's goals are to implement the Master Plan along with the establishment of an educational component. The Arboretum will become both a formal and an informal classroom for both children and adults with signage and pathways to take them to all areas of the park. The Master Plan divides the body of the Arboretum into four major segments: • Meadowland to the north, • Bottomland Forest, • Specimen Area in the centre, • Native Collection in the south. The spine of the Arboretum body is the East Holland River that meanders northward between Wellington Street and St. John's Side Road on its way to Lake Simcoe. The skin of this body is the slope and upland planting that will differentiate this Aurora Urban Oasis from the surrounding housing and industrial construction. The execution of the Master Plan is a 10 year project, in line with other Leisure Services long term strategies. We estimate the cost to the Town of Aurora over 10 years will be $1,000,000. This will pay for and plant the proposed 38,000 trees and shrubs, cover fees for needed engineering and landscape consulting services and assist with signs. ACA is asking for a commitment that will average $100,000 a year over the 10 year period from the Town in order to execute the plan. We plan to find additional sources of funding to supplement the Town's commitment in order to fulfill our overall goals. Execution of the Master Plan requires agreement from two bodies: the Lake Simcoe Regional Conservation Authority (LSRCA) and the Town of Aurora. The agreement from LSRCA is provided as Appendix 1. Brief Summary of the Master Plan: (see Appendix 2 for the full copy). An overview of the layout of the Arboretum is shown on the following map and then briefly described in the text that follows the map. COUNCIL - MARCH 28, 2006 Aurora Community Arboretum Inc. - Briefing paper to Town of Aurora Council MAP OF AURORA COMMUNITY ARBORETUM PRo2i ap15 a v t I � 4 t, y t5 { y 22 March 2006 Y g G q a b ad toO 32 aQ10 ti N R COUNCIL — MARCH 28, 2006 Aurora Community Arboretum Inc. - Briefing paper to Town of Aurora Council 22 March 2006 The Master Plan envisions 4 main areas in the Arboretum: Meadowland: The northern portion of the Arboretum consists of: Grassland - This will be in the northern part of the Arboretum and will include a wide range of grasses. This should provide a grazing area for migrating waterfowl and meadowland resident birds and diversity to the Arboretum. Old Field Herbaceous - Old -field herbaceous and old -field shrubs are two of the richest wildlife habitats, supporting a large number of different species of birds, mammals and insects. Upland Forest - These will be plantings on the high ground on the edge of the valley. Wetland Waderscrape - This area will be created to replace the areas of wetland that have been lost in Aurora. It will be attractive to migrating waterfowl and wading birds Bottomland Forest: The middle section of the Arboretum consists of: Bottomland Forest - The proposal is to plant an extensive area of the valley lands with typical bottomland tree species. Large Willows and Cottonwoods can be planted along the banks of the river to create a large area of full -canopy cover, providing a desirable habitat for forest birds. River Valley Slopes - It is proposed that all the valley slopes should be re- forested to create a visual screen between the valley lands and surrounding development. A mixture of native and exotic trees and shrub species will be used here. Wetland Tree Collection - These are trees that need ample moisture during their growing season, but most will not grow in standing water. Specimen Area: The southern section of the Arboretum consists of: Specimen Tree Collection, Hardy Species - This will be a representative selection of large and smaller growing trees, both native and exotic species, and varieties that are hardy and can be grown in the Town of Aurora and surrounding area. Specimen Tree Collection, Tender Species - These specimen trees will be at the northern edge of their hardiness zone. They will need to be carefully located in sheltered locations where they will be protected by topography or existing trees and shrubs. 'Flora Aurora' Ornamental Flowering Trees and Shrubs - This will be an extensive collection of trees and shrubs that are spring flowering, display good fall colour and colourful winter berries. The plants should provide Aurora with masses of flowers in mid -May. We expect `Flora Aurora' to become a focus destination for spring nature lovers and a colourful backdrop for local events. Native Tree Collection: The southern section, east of John West Way. Native Trees - This area consists largely of native species, occurring in a natural environment and they are not specimen trees.

The proposed Arboretum is ket, Ontario comprised essentially of three components: • An Arboretum, showcasing a variety of tree species including many Carolinian species; • An Ornamental Flower Garden, a garden near the Recreation Centre, and; • Restoration plantings designed to naturalize the river valley. Arboretum The Conservation Authority has no objections to the Arboretum (Areas B, C and D), however we offer the following comments for consideration: The planting of any invasive species is discouraged by the Conservation Authority, in particular Manitoba Maple, Norway Maple, European Birch, Scots Pine, Black Alder, and Goat Willow. Although the Arboretum area is to be routinely mowed which will minimize the colonization opportunities for these species, their seeds will be readily spread through wind, mammal and bird dispersion to other areas that are not mown. Furthermore, given their invasive tendencies, these species are common throughout the Town and watershed. As such, it is recommended that these species not be planted in the Arborettmn. It should be. noted that many of the species proposed for the Arboretum are either on the edge of their normal range, or in fact well beyond their range. As such, it is likely that some of these species will not be viable. These species could initially be planted sparingly to determine which species may survive in a given microclimate. A monitoring program is recommended to determine which species survive and which do not. 14 Ornamental Flower Garden The Conservation Authority does not oppose a flower garden (Area F) situated in the vicinity of the Recreation Centre, provided that there are no aggressively invasive species. The Authority fteryhed encourages this area to be managed as a fertilizer and pesticide -free area given the large numbers of public expected to visit the garden. �rzlx Restoration Plantings The Conservation Authority is pleased to support the restoration planting initiative (Areas E, G- H) and offers the following comments in this regard: The proposed planting plan for the perimeter of the valley (Area E) involves several invasive species (i.e., Scots Pine, Black Locust, European Mountain -Ash). Again, it is requested that non-invasive species be used, given the extent of this area and that it will receive minimal maintenance to control invasive species. D 11 COUNCIL — MARCH 28, 2006 January 11, 2006 File No.: Aurora Arboretum ,.i • IMS No.: NPRG20CI Mr. Gordon Barnes Page 2 of 2 The grassland park (Area 1) will require maintenance to prevent its succession into a thicket community. Dominating herbaceous species such as Fall Aster and Canada Goldenrod will need to be controlled, howeverit is preferred that herbicides not be used, given the desire to also create a frog pond and amphibian -friendly habitat, This area will also need to be managed to prevent the establishment of a Canada Goose breeding area. Refer to Management Options for Old -field Sites (MNR 1995) for further information. The wetland waderscape (Area K) is a proposed shallow marsh within the restoration area. The intent is to create habitat for shorebirds. This will require the ability to control the water levels and to ensure that invasive herbaceous species do not establish in this area. It is recommended that a professional wetland engineer be retained to design the wetland such that it provides the function as desired. This should also involve careful consideration of the proposed plantings for this area. Further to specific comments regarding particular areas, the main Conservation Authority issues are: • Use of invasive species; • Potential for creating ideal Canada Goose breeding and feeding areas; • Potential for Beaver activity and damage; • Professional monitoring of entire project to ensure species suitability, species survival, and wildlife issues (nuisance and otherwise); • Professional engineering and studies for the wetland/waderscape; and, • All required permits are obtained. It is possible to naturalize areas without the use of invasive species and there is ample food for the wildlife species that are likely to frequent this area without invasive species. While the Authority does not object to the Arboretum and Ornamental Flower Garden components of this project, we are most interested in supporting the restoration and naturalization component.

(905) 727-2816 March 20, 2006 Aurora Community Arboretum C/o Tom Yates 59 Hammond Drive Aurora, ON L4G 2T8 Dear Tom: Thank you for taking the time to share the elements of the Aurora Community Arboretum Master Plan with our Board today. We appreciate the vision and commitment of the Arboretum Association to the protection and development of the Arboretum lands for the benefit of present and future residents of Aurora. The development of the "Flora Aurora" section of the Master Plan, and its proposed timing, is especially interesting to us as it will undoubtedly enhance our Seniors Centre location. The Aurora Seniors Association is pleased to add our endorsement for the Aurora Community Arboretum Master Plan. Sincerely, S Charles Sequeira President cc. K. Hamilton, Seniors Co-ordinator Visit our Website at: http://public.oci.on.ca/seniors D 13 COUNCIL - MARCH 28, 2006 Aurora Community Arboretum Inc. - Briefing paper to Town of Aurora Council 22 March 2006 APPENDIX 2 Aurora Community Arboretum Master Plan D 14 9 COUNCIL — MARCH 28, 2006 MASTER PLAN Aurora Community Arboretum David Tomlinson 2006 March 1 Contents Plant Lists by Area A Native Collection B — Specimen Trees — Hardy C — Specimen Trees — Tender D — Wetland E — Holland River Valley F — Flora Aurora G — Old -Field Herbaceous H — Bottomland Forest I — Grassland Park J — Upland Forest K — Wetland Waderscrape Site Map of Arboretum Areas Master Plan — Aurora Community Arboretum D 15 COUNCIL - MARCH 28, 2006 The Parts of the Arboretum (See the map at end of document for locations) A Native Tree Collection This collection of native trees should thrive on Aurora's fertile alkaline soil. The site for this collection has been carefully chosen, it is well sheltered from the north and west by steep banks and it has a selection of both dry and moist growing conditions with a well -established tree cover that can be utilized to protect newly planted trees. This will be the most difficult sectionof the Arboretum to establish successfully and will require the most maintenance. While it is widely believed that native plants are best suited to local climates and growing conditions and should be more widely used to replace exotic species this in reality is far from the truth in urban areas. This could be better applied to many exotic species. Our native plants evolved over several thousand years in undisturbed high canopy woodland that dominated the Ontario landscape before settlement. The problem with trying to re-establish our native tree species is that many are poorly adapted to growing in the almost continuous pattern of human disturbance, which now, dominates both our agricultural and urban land use patterns, conditions which at present form the landscape of the Holland River Valley. This is why the use of only native species have been confined to a relatively small area of the arboretum, which offers the best chance of success. At present, this location is vegetated with native and alien tree species particularly Red and Scots Pine. To reduce planting losses, and these may be particularly high in this section of the Arboretum, the retention of non-native species will be vital in the early planting stage to shelter and protect the more site specific native species, at least until they are well established. It will then be necessary to gradually remove the non-native tree species. This may be difficult as removing any tree normally evokes public protest. If it is to succeed, the public will need to be well educated in the aims and goals of this section of the arboretum.

These can be used w a resource to enable residents to select suitably sized trees for planting in their own properties. In the arboretum, these should be spaced far enough apart to allow the trees to develop their distinctive form and characteristics. To allow ample growing space large trees 40'+ high like Silver Maple, Black Walnut and Cottonwood should be spaced approximately 100' apart with smaller tree species located in the space between them. Medium sized trees 30'+ should be planted approximately 50' apart with smaller trees 30'- planted singly or in small groups. When planted in groups sufficient space should be given to accommodate the full spread of each tree species or variety. As indicated on the Master Plan, the trees should be located asymmetrically, avoiding rows. To add visual variety to the valley landscape some should be planted in small groups of one or more species i.e, three Horse Chestnut or White Pine or a small informal group of various species of Oak or other major genera. In the plant lists, notes on the cultivation of each species with deceptions of variety are included to enable them to be planted in attractive groups in the most favourable locations.

Master Plan — Aurora Community Arboretum D 17 COUNCIL — MARCH 28, 2006 C Specimen Trees - Edge of Hardiness Range This list contains specimen trees that are on the northern edge of their hardiness zone. These are mainly Zone 6 tree species, which need to be carefully located in sheltered micro climates where they will be protected by topography or existing trees and shrubs from northwest wind. It may be necessary to delay planting these species until some of the more hardy trees have become established, then the microclimates created by the shelter of the hardy trees can be utilized to protect these less hardy tree species and varieties. Try to obtain plants grown in central or eastern Canadian nurseries (The Canadian Plant Sourcebook by Anne & Peter Ashley) rather than importing plants from B.C. or the USA. Purchase well established container -grown stock between Y -6' high. In late spring, plant into well -prepared locations after danger of late frosts has passed. All these plants will need protection in winter until they become established. Use a circle of snow fencing or wire about the same diameter as a garbage bin. Fill this with dry leaves working them down under the branches. Oak leaves are best as they do not pack down. Cover with a plastic garbage bin lid to prevent them blowing away and the snow from packing them down. It is essential to put poison bait on the ground before adding the leaves. Increase the size of the zip hole in a pop can and put the mouse bait in side. Also, on single stem plants, use a plastic mouse guard. To prevent soft early growth and damage by late frosts, remove the leaves in late April or early May. In cold late springs, delay this operation until the weather improves.

They prefer sites adjoining wet areas or ponds where the soil does not fully dry out in periods of drought. A few species like our native Willows, Tamarack and Black Spruce plus the exotic Bald Cypress will grow in relatively wet conditions, but even these will grow better on slightly raised ground.

To moderate the landscape impact of this wall of development, it is proposed that all the valley slopes should be reforested, which will create a visual screen between the valley lands and the surrounding development. It is tempting to advocate native species only in the planting, but due to the difficulties of establishing native plants into grassed exposed locations, it is recommended that a mixture of both native and exotic tree and shrub species should be included. The added advantage to this policy is that many non-native plants have become valuable food sources for wildlife and these can be included in the planting mixture.

This feature will provide Aurora with a major tourist attraction when these trees produce masses of flowers in mid -May. Flora Aurora has been concentrated around the Leisure Centre where most of the existing car parking is located. When fully established it will become a major event in the Aurora activity calendar and should attract many visitors from the 905 area and the city of Toronto. Like the list of plants for other areas within the arboretum, the list of plants selected for Flora Aurora is based on plant material which is already available in Canada. In the future, other flowering trees and shrubs can be added as they become available. Once established, extensive maintenance should not be required, but as many of the flowering trees belong to the plant family Rosaceae and are susceptible to fire blight, they Master Plan — Aurora Community Arboretum D 19 COUNCIL - MARCH 28, 2006 should be inspected regularly and any shoots that suddenly turn brown should be cut to 12 below the effected area. Tools must be sanitized between cuts and the removed material should be burned.

Aim at creating a ratio of 40% of the total area being planted with groups, drift and individual shrubs, with 60% of the space being dominated by grass and perennial wildflowers. Species growing over 19' high plant singly, all other in groups of 3 to 7 in open grassy areas between the existing shrubs and small trees. Plant occasional single plants well away from others as these are often favoured by small songbirds as nesting sites.

Red Berried Nannyberry Rose, Wild (Smooth Meadow) Witherod Viburnum We have very little bottomland forest left in Aurora. This habitat would have dominated the river valley before settlement. To compensate for this loss of habitat we propose to plant an extensive area of the valley lands with typical bottomland tree species. We have also included some species like the Tulip Tree, which historically was only found further south, but now grows well in Aurora. Select species from the first section of the tree list to make up 80% of the plant mixture, with the second section making up the remaining 20%.

All existing shrubs within this area should be removed by cutting down. All stumps must be painted with glyphosate within two hours of cutting to prevent re -growth. To encourage a wide range of grasses, invasive Golden Rod, Fall Aster, Creeping Thistle and other aggressive spreading broad -leafed perennials will need to be controlled using a narrow spectrum herbicide to target undesirable plants without undue impact on the surrounding vegetation. This is best applied with a conservation -friendly weed wiper rather than traditional weed spraying equipment. A band of approximately 30' to 100' between the adjoining planted woodland and grassland should be left unsprayed to allow a zone of old -field herbaceous, habitat to develop. Select shrubs from the old field herbaceous list and plant them in this location. To provide a grazing area for migrating waterfowl, the area of grassland between the waderscrape and the surrounding creek should be mown in late July or early August to enrich species diversity. Half the remaining grassland should be mown each September. Cutting should not be left in situ as this leads to nutrient enrichment and contributes to developing a litter mat, which is detrimental to a healthy sward. Forage harvesters are the best for cutting as these can be adjusted to cut at a variety of heights and cut material can be bailed for removal. J Upland Forest Some new areas of upland forest have already been planted on the high ground at the northern end of the valley. Some additional area of upland forest is proposed on high ground on the edge of the valley. Typical species, both coniferous and deciduous trees, have been selected. Use first section of the plant list to make up 80% of the mixture. Use the second section for the remaining 20%. It may be necessary to delay the planting of some species until the more tolerant ones become established. Beech, American Oak, Red Ash, White Butternut K Wetland Waderserape Cherry, Black Pine, White Eastern Basswood Hornbeam Hop Maple, Sugar Birch, White Paper Walnut, Black This area has been created to replace the areas of wetland in Aurora that have been lost or reduced through development or road widening. It has been designed to be particularly attractive to migrating waterfowl and wading birds, which breed in the arctic and pass through Aurora in large numbers between late July and mid October. To be successful, human disturbance must be kept to a minimum. This can be achieved through the creation of berms and screen planting. The only viewing of this area by residents and visitors will be from the public 'hide' located at the eastern end of the scrape. Water levels will need careful control to ensure that the shallow muddy conditions required by dabbling ducks and wading birds can be maintained through the late summer and fall. To be successful, this will need Master Plan — Aurora Community Arboretum D 23 COUNCIL - MARCH 28, 2006 to be carefully re -graded and engineered and will need the approval of the Lake Simcoe Conservation Authority and the Ministry of Natural Resources.

CARRIED ql DETERMINATION OF ITEM REQUIRING SEPARATE DISCUSSION 1. LS06-009 — Library Square Public Meeting IV DELEGATIONS (a) Mr. At Downey, Director of Leisure Services Mr. Al Downey, Director of Leisure Services, addressed the Committee to review past and current information regarding Library Square. The Director advised that the purpose of this public meeting is to obtain input from Aurora residents regarding the future of Library Square, which includes five buildings: the old Library (56 Victoria Street), the old Seniors' Centre (52 Victoria Street), Victoria Hall (27 Mosley Street), Church Street School (22 Church Street) and the new Library (15145 Yonge Street). The Director concentrated much of his information on the old Library and old Seniors' Centre. —1— COUNCIL - MARCH 28, 2006 Special General Committee Report No. 06-05 Page 2 of 5 Tuesday, March 7, 2006 The Director advised that the old Seniors' Centre building is approximately 4,000 square feet, located on .29 acres of land, has 21 parking spaces and was last renovated in 1990. The Director continued to describe the building as a single storey, steel frame construction with a replacement value of approximately $445,700 (2002 dollars). In order to bring the building up to standard, the Director advised that approximately $8,500 (2002 dollars) worth of immediate repairs are required. The Director advised that the old Library building was built in 1963, is approximately 17,700 square feet, located on .63 acres of land and has 4 parking spots, 2 of which are disabled spots. The Director continued to describe the building as a two storey, wood and steel frame construction with a replacement value of approximately $1,668,200 (2002 dollars). In order to bring the building up to standard, the Director advised that approximately $368,920 (2002 dollars) worth of Immediate repairs are required. The Director indicated that the most immediate and major repair required is to the roof however, other Immediate repairs that are required include the elevator, heating and air conditioning units, sprinkler system, water main and fire alarm. The Director then referred to Report LS06-009, indicating the 7 options outlined for Committee's consideration on this matter. OPEN FORUM (b) Mr. Trevor Smith, Co -Chair, Youth Action Sub -Committee Mr. Trevor Smith addressed the Committee to advise that, as a representative of the Youth Action Sub -Committee, which Is comprised of 7 members ages 12 - 19, he is requesting that a Youth Centre be considered as an option for some of the space at Library Square. (c) Reverend John G. Smith and Reverend Matthew MacKay, Ecumenical Outreach Centre Reverend John Smith addressed the Committee to advise that the preference of the four churches that are partnered in a proposed Ecumenical Outreach Centre Is Option #2, outlined in the Report LS06-009. Reverend Smith advised that approximately 1,400 clients are now serviced through the outreach programs and that centralizing the service would avoid duplication of services and allow for an increase in hours of availability for clients. The Reverend also advised that the required rent would be paid by pooling the funds of the four churches. Reverend Smith informed the Committee that parking would not be an issue for their use because their clients depend on public transit. Reverend Matthew MacKay addressed the Committee to indicate his hope that the vision for Library Square would return to the previous focus of housing community groups. (d) Ms Lynn Pearson, Aurora Co-op Nursery Ms Lynn Pearson addressed the Committee on behalf of the Aurora Co-op Nursery to advise that their current location at Lion's Hall is potentially unsafe as a result of sewage backups and that the organization would prefer a safer and more permanent site. Ms Pearson indicated that the organization is active within the community, has volunteers assisting with the programs, has a waiting list for September already and that minimal parking is required. -2- COUNCIL - MARCH 28, 2006 Special General Committee Report No. 06-05 Page 3 of 5 Tuesday, March 7, 2006 (e) Mr. Bill Oorschot, Society of York Region Artists (SOYRA) Mr. Bill Oorschot addressed the Committee to suggest that the Town of Aurora help the community groups within the town by preserving what is already in place and investing in the buildings that are already established in order for the community groups to prosper.

Review Terms of Reference and Recap The Director of Building Administration reviewed with the Task Force their Terms of Reference and their timeline, as detailed in Appendix 1 of the Terms of Reference, to determine where the Task Force stands in terms of completing its mandate. The Task Force determined that it is approximately five months behind, and that it would be extremely difficult to complete its mandate on schedule when taking into consideration the summer break and the upcoming municipal election. The Director of Building Administration outlined two major options that the Task Force needs to consider with Secondary Dwelling Units within the municipality. These options are whether or not to amend the official plan and the zoning by-law to permit Secondary Dwelling Units, or to recommend a process to address the existing Secondary Dwelling Units only to ensure their safety and compliance with the legislation. It was also discussed whether or not what this Task Force was instructed to do falls under the jurisdiction of Planning.

CARRIED —32— COUNCIL — MARCH 28, 2006 TSAB Record No. 06-01 Page 2 DELIGATIONS Mr. Raymond Nicolini — Hair Thoughts Mr. Nicolini addressed the Board as a local business owner on Wellington Street East requesting the Boards support to change the existing 1-hour parking limit on Wellington Street East, east of Yonge Street to a 2-hour limit. Mr. Nicolini indicated many other municipalities use a 2-hour parking limit in the downtown area and believes owners on Wellington Street East should have the same rights. Mr. Nicolini also noted that the Region will be implementing the original rush hour route parking prohibition on the south side of Wellington Street East from 4:OOpm to 6:OOpm, Monday to Friday. Mr. Nicolini does not support this as on Yonge Street there is only a rush hour route on one side during the PM peak hours and Wellington Street East will have it on both sides. The Board discusses the issue of increasing the 1-hour limit to 2-hours and noted Yonge Street should also be reviewed as businesses on Yonge Street will want the same restriction.

Council received the deputation and adopted the following resolution: WHEREAS one of the recommendations of the approved GTA Agricultural Action Plan states as follows: "Encourage the Ontario Farmland Trust (OFT) to develop programs, identify securement mechanisms (including financial) and obtain support from the province, municipal Councils and agricultural organizations; AND WHEREAS the Board of Directors of the Ontario Farmland Trust, at its meeting held on Monday, January 30", 2006, resolved "that the Ontario Farmland Trust bring to the attention of all levels of Government the need to extend the Eco-Gifts Program to a Farmland Gifts Program, or arrange for the establishment of a similar Farmland Gifts Program"; AND WHEREAS agriculture is an important industry in Ontario earning significant export revenue for the province and providing employment in allied food and support industries; AND WHEREAS an agricultural land base with high quality soils and a conductive climate is essential to maintaining a strong agricultural industry; AND WHEREAS farmland provides ecological services which sustain water and air -quality resources and provide recreational resources; AND WHEREAS the market value of farmland is much lower than the value of land to be developed for residential, commercial or industrial pruposes providing powerful economic incentives to convert land away from agricultural uses; AND WHEREAS the Ontario Farmland Trust and other charitable trusts have been created with the ability to hold restrictive easements and covenants and other interests in land donated by land owners to ensure that they remain available for agricultural use in perpetuity; AND WHEREAS donors of interests in land which have specified ecological features qualify for significant benefits under the ecological gifts provisions of the Canada and Ontario Incomes Tax Act; AND WHEREAS donors of such easements make sacrifices of great value to society. NOW THEREFORE BE AND IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED: 1. THAT the Corporation of the Township of King supports the current efforts of the Ontario Farmland Trust in regards to - the federal and provincial governments being urged to amend their Income Tax Acts to provide the same benefits to donors of farmland for which donors of ecologically sensitive lands now qualify; - the federal and provincial governments being requested to consider other farmland conservation incentives to ensure that farmland remains in agriculture. 2. THAT copies of this resolution be forwarded to all lower and upper tier municipalities across the Province of Ontario urging their support for these initiatives.

Of Public works Treasurer Members of Council I am writing on behalf of 150,000 CUPE Ontario members living and working in communities across the province, to urge you to join other municipalities in pressuring federal and provincial governments to preserve the national child care program and our federal provincial child care agreement on Early Learning and Care — Best Start Plan. The federal -provincial bi-lateral early learning and care agreement, laid the foundation for Ontario's Best Start Plan and CMSM/DSSAB Best Start Transitional/Infrastructure Plans which will create the following: 25,000 regulated child care spaces; increased services for children with special needs; and improved quality standards and increased compensation for those working in the field. Municipal governments in Ontario have a direct and vested interest for ensuring their Best Start Transitional Plans and Best Start Infrastructure Plans receive the funding they need to come to fruition. The City of Toronto recently passed a Motion that commits to work with families, child care programs and advocates in that city to ensure the federal government fulfils itsfive-year funding commitment to build a national early learning and care program in Ontario and across Canada. We are writing to encourage your Council to take similar action and to loin with community partners in sending a clear message to the federal government that Ontario residents expect them to honour these agreements. Cancellation of the federal/provincial Early Learning and Child Care program by the new Conservative government puts all our municipal child care plans in jeopardy. We urge you to act now to protect these plans and the interests of children and families in your municipality.

And whereas At the February meeting of the Heritage Advisory Committee, a delegation requested information about tax relief to designated properties. And whereas The committee recommended the question be dealt with after designation. And whereas The municipality would be wise to evaluate all potential financial implications of a particular course of action prior to taking that action Now therefore be it resolved Staff be directed to report to council on all potential financial implications of providing tax relief and maintenance costs of properties designated "Heritage" by the municipality.

BACKGROUND Dollarama has recently taken over as tenant to the ground floor space previously occupied by Shoppers Drug Mart at 15260 Yonge. Pierre Lachance of Dominion Signs, on behalf of his client Dollarama, contacted Building Administration regarding the regulations for replacing the existing signage and is requesting a variance to replace legal non -conforming signs with new signs. Shoppers Drug Mart had a total of seven wall signs. Two business identification signs over the front entrance, two business identification signs over the rear entrance and three signs advertising the Doanne Hall pharmacy located within the Shoppers Drug Mart. The seven signs were originally approved and erected for the Doanne Hall pharmacy. The Sign Bylaw allows for a change to the messaging displayed in a sign box without the benefit of a permit. However the removal and replacement of a sign requires a permit and further requires compliance with the Sign Bylaw. Dollarama's proposal includes the erection of two new signs over the front entrance, changing the messaging displayed in the existing sign boxes at the rear entrance and the removal of the three service advertising signs. -61- COUNCIL - MARCH 28, 2006 March 28. 2006 - 2 - Report No. BA06-004 COMMENTS Prior to submitting an application for variance to the Sign Bylaw, Pierre Lachance consulted with staff on the existing and proposed signage at 15260 Yonge Street. Mr. Lachance was informed that he could replace existing sign faces without a permit. However, site improvements including re -cladding the front elevation with stucco finish has resulted in the removal of all existing signs on the front fagade. Dollarama would like to take this opportunity to erect two new business advertising signs comprised of individual letter components. The proposed signs are similar in size and location to the previous sign boxes over the front entrance. The Sign Bylaw permits only one wall sign per business premise except where there is a rear public entrance, one additional wall sign is permitted. The main entrance for the Dollarama faces Yonge Street. There is a second public entrance at the rear from the parking area. Therefore, in this instance the maximum number of wall signs permitted is two. Dollarama is proposing a total of four wall signs. Mr. Lachance has been working with Town staff to modify the proposed signage by reducing the number of wall signs from seven to four while ensuring his client's business needs are met. Mr Lachance has requested that this request for sign variance go directly to Council for approval as his client is open for business without the benefit of business advertising signs at the front entry to attract customers. OPTIONS 1. Council deny the request for variance and impose the provisions of the Bylaw being that the applicant use the existing sign boxes; or 2. Council approves only one new sign over the front entrance with the condition that the three signs shown on the attachment are permanently removed. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS Nil CONCLUSIONS For reasons outlined in this report it is staffs opinion that the requested variances are reasonable and minor in nature. Staff is recommending that approval be granted on the condition that the one sign panel on the front elevation and the two sign boxes over the rear entrance used to previously advertise the Doanne Hall pharmacy are removed. -62- COUNCIL — MARCH 28, 2006 March 28, 2006 - 3 - Report No. BA06-004 LINK TO STRATEGIC PLAN Goal B — to support a healthy business environment that attracts new business and is responsive to the needs of our present business community.
