Residents Response to Proposed Mountain Bike Course
Date: Saturday, September 23, 2006
Attn: Jim Tree, Manager of Parks
cc. Mayor Tim Jones & Town Councilors
Bathurst where Jim Tree, Manager of Parks, for the Town of Aurora is proposing the construction of a
mountain bike course. Although we do not oppose the need for mountain bike courses within the Town
of Aurora, we most certainly oppose the construction of a mountain bike course within the proposed
area of McClellan Way and Bathurst for the following reasons:
The area residents of the proposed mountain bike property were not given notice to the council
meeting proposing the construction of this course.
2. We would like to see a feasibility study done that takes into consideration the safety, and risks
of this corner. It is our belief that this corner has above average traffic accidents, thus makes the
risks of harm higher then the risk of pleasure from the mountain bike experience.
D-2
GENERAL COMMITTEE - OCTOBER 3, 2006
3. As per the notice dropped off at our homes "The area would not be supervised by municipal
staff." Who will be responsible for the safety of increased bike traffic at a very busy
intersection... the feeder street for hundreds of homes, and more than 1500 children attending
two schools within a block down the street.
4. Surely the property behind the school could be a better alternative. I understand children already
enjoy the bush for mountain biking, it is safer, and more central to the community,
Below are a few of the residents who object to this location, if you would like more names they
can be provided.
Signing below means I agree with the above concerns, and ask that the location not be use for
mountain biking or any activity which will increase bike traffic at this extremely busy
intersection:

GENERAL COMMITTEE REPORT No. ADM06-015
SUBJECT: AMO OMERS Support Fund
FROM: John S. Rogers, Chief Administrative Officer
DATE: October 3, 2006
RECOMMENDATIONS
THAT the Town of Aurora financially support the AMO OMERS Support Fund.
BACKGROUND
As Council is aware the Province of Ontario passed Bill 206 regarding significant changes
to the Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement System (OMERS) effective June 30, 2006.
Attached to this report is a report by AMO dated July 25, 2006 providing details of the new
Act and the request for financial support for a special fund to provide the necessary
support for the AMO members of the Sponsors Corporation and the Administration
Corporation.
COMMENTS
The new OMERS Act has significant potential implications for all Municipalities who have
employees enrolled in the OMERS plan. In order to ensure that the appropriate technical
support is provided to the AMO representatives on both the Sponsors Corporation and the
Administration Corporation it is important to have good research capabilities. The cost per
employee is minimal and is a positive investment for the Town.
OPTIONS
1. Financially support the AMO OMERS Support Fund.
2. Not financially support the fund.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
Based on the current number of OMERS enrolled employees (185) the cost for 2006 and
2007 is a total of $1,256.15 the estimated budget for 2008 would indicate that the levy for
2008 would be $5.72 per employee or $1,058.20.

GENERAL COMMITTEE - OCTOBER 3, 2006
Introduction
As one of Canada's largest multi -employer pension plans (with over $40 billion in net
investment assets), the Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement System (OMERS)
provides pension services to about 364,000 active and retired members (including
employees of Ontario municipalities, local boards, public utilities and school boards)
and almost 900 employers.
Effective as of June 30, 2006, the pension plan is governed under the new Ontario
Municipal Employees Retirement System Act, 2006 (the new OMERS Act). Under this
legislation there is a new governance model: the new OMERS Sponsors Corporation;
and, a continuation of the current OMERS Board as the new OMERS Administration
Corporation. In addition, two "Advisory Committees" may be established for advising
and making recommendations to the Sponsors Corporation on OMERS benefits: one
Committee will be dedicated solely to the emergency services sectors
(police/fire/paramedics); and, the other Committee will be for all other plan
members.
As employers, municipal governments in Ontario have an important and common
interest in effective representation in the new OMERS governance model. These
interests include protecting the long-term viability of the OMERS Pension Plan as well
as ensuring that costs to the plan sponsors (employer groups and plan member
groups) are controlled to the greatest extent possible.
Pension benefits are a large part of human resources costs for OMERS municipal
employers. With the exception of the short-lived "contribution holiday", OMERS
contribution rates have increased and continue to require more revenue, helping to
push property taxes upward - with no improvement in services to our communities.
Furthermore, the new OMERS Act legislates a decision -making process whereby if the
Sponsors Corporation cannot reach a decision on changes to benefits, contribution
rates, or the contribution rate reserve level, then a binding arbitration process kicks in.
Given the historic interests of labour, it is reasonable to assume that the Sponsors
Corporation will be confronted over time with a variety of proposed benefit changes
that may lead to arbitrated decisions.
In collective bargaining negotiations, employee groups benefit from mandatory union
association member contributions and essentially unlimited financial resources to
promote and protect the interests of employees. As a result, employee interests are
well coordinated on a province -wide basis and are represented by highly trained
negotiators; backed up by teams of professional advisors with substantial pension
expertise that often includes costly and valuable legal and actuarial advice.
At the same time, municipal governments, as employers, are not nearly as well
prepared and lack coordinated resources on a province -wide basis to protect
collective municipal interests in this new environment of "pension bargaining". A well
co-ordinated, well advised employer response with the competencies necessary to
deal with these new OMERS governance demands must be developed quickly in
order to deal with these issues.
-16-
GENERAL COMMITTEE - OCTOBER 3, 2006
Having subject matter experts as appointees and having access to external
professionals will serve to inform the comprehensive negotiations that will transpire at
the Sponsors level, both in the short term and in the long term.
The new OMERS Act requires the establishment of an
initial supplemental pension plan for emergency
services sector employees (i.e., police, fire,
paramedics) within 24 months (see attached
Appendix "A"). This is a separately -funded, stand-
alone registered pension plan that offers benefits not
available in the current primary plan.
--- ---- ----------------------------------
...employee interests are
coordinated on a province -
wide basis and represented
by highly trained negotiators;
backed up by teams of
professional advisors ...
Under Bill 206, these supplemental benefits must be made available to police, fire-
fighters, and paramedics. Supplemental plans for emergency services workers have
the potential to cost municipal governments hundreds of millions dollars in the years to
come.
The Sponsors Corporation has the authority to create supplemental plans for other
OMERS plan members. It is only a matter of time before OMERS employees in other
areas of employment, outside the emergency services sector, will seek the some
access to enhanced retirement benefits as their colleagues in emergency services.
For example, on February 27, 2006, CUPE Ontario recommended to its members that
OMERS supplemental plans be put on the bargaining table in every municipality,
school board, and children's aid society- backed up by a right to strike (see
attached Appendix "B"). Should this occur, the Sponsors Corporation would be under
significant pressure to design supplemental plans for these other employees.
This paper sets out a plan to ensure that municipal employers' interests are given the
best opportunity to be protected under the new OMERS governance scheme imposed
by the Government of Ontario through Bill 206.
-17-
GENERAL COMMITTEE - OCTOBER 3, 2006
A New, Legislated Role for AMO
AMO now has a legislated responsibility to appoint employer representatives to the
OMERS Sponsors Corporation - and, along with this, the practical responsibility to
ensure that employer representatives on the Sponsors Corporation have the time and
resources they need to protect the interests of municipalities as employers.
In addition, AMO is legislated to appoint representatives to the OMERS Administration
Corporation, which has the responsibility for investment decisions and conducting
plan valuations for the $40 billion OMERS fund, and for administering the OMERS
benefit program.
These are significant new responsibilities.
OMERS employers include 382 municipal governments, 88 school boards and 418
"other local boards", including children's aid societies and other non -municipal
organizations as well as police services boards, boards of health, library boards, and
other municipal organizations.
Bill 206 came into effect on June 30fh, 2006 and with it, the need to fill AMO's positions.
Based on nominations approved by the AMO Executive and ratified by the AMO
Board, the government appointed/reappointed the following individuals to the new
OMERS corporations:
OMERS Sponsors Corporation:
Bruce Stewart, LLB
Marianne Love, LLB
OMERS Administration Corporation:
Ann Mulvale, Mayor, Town of Oakville
Michael Power, Mayor, Town of Greenstone
* For a complete list of Corporate Directors, please see "Background"
The AMO Board of Directors also recognized that municipal WEIRS employers have a
responsibility to provide the necessary resources to ensure that AMO's appointees
and other employer representatives have access to professional support and advice.
These resources are beyond AMO's membership fee structure capacity. AMO's
board of Directors has directed that additional financial resources be secured outside
of AMO's membership and that these new resources be solely dedicated to the
OMERS municipal employers' interests.'
It is critically important that the municipal employers' interests are fully and effectively
represented and that there is on -going funding formula and a concomitant
accountability framework.
1 As not all AMO members are OMERS employers and not all OMERS employers are AMO
members, the AMO Board of Directors directed that additional financial resources be secured
outside of AMO's membership fees.
OVE
GENERAL COMMITTEE - OCTOBER 3, 2006
The OMERS Support Fund
The AMO Board of Directors directed that municipalities that are OMERS employers
should be asked to make an annual contribution to a special OMERS fund - the
OMERS Support Fund - based on the numbers of OMERS enrolled employees in the
municipality. The Fund will be administered by AMO as a separate business activity to
facilitate expenditure control and stewardship reporting, and all funds will be used
exclusively for OMERS related activities.
The Fund will provide the resources required to allow AMO to operate as a formal
representative to protect the interests of municipalities as employers. Examples of
items that are anticipated to support AMO's role include:
• recruitment costs (as membership terms expire);
• remuneration/expenses/indemnification of AMO appointees (to the extent that
this is not covered within the new OMERS governance structure);
• research and analysis costs (including legal, actuarial and governance advice);
• support for supplementary decision -making mechanisms (i.e.,
mediation/arbitration costs regarding proposed plan changes)2; and,
• administration costs ( such as transition, training and communications between
AMO's municipal employers).
The attached Appendix "B" outlines an estimated Budget for 2006, 2007 and 2008.
AMO, through discussion with pension experts, has tried to reasonably estimate the
costs of these activities to support AMO's representatives. In order to create a model
to allocate costs among municipalities according to the number of OMERS enrolled
employees, two categories of municipal employee were considered:
1. Employed directly by the municipality, municipal transit authority or police services
board
2. Employed by "other boards" such as public health boards and conservation
authorities
The first category is easy to identify. In the case of the second category, "other
boards", it is more complicated. Some local boards are shared by a number of
municipalities (e.g., conservation authorities), and some are not identifiable by
municipality, however, most of these have few employees. Consequently, this paper
proposes that costs be allocated according to the first cateaory - those directly
employed by a municipality, transit authority or police services board (approximately
98,500 municipal employees).
AMO will also seek to recover a share of costs for certain expenses (e.g., research and
analysis), from other designated employer groups.
2 This is where parties to the Sponsors Corporation are required to present positions, and is a
separate and distinct process from labour negotiations at the local level that may include an
arbitration component.

GENERAL COMMITTEE - OCTOBER 3, 2006
Allocating Costs of the OMERS Support Fund
The estimated costs and allocation of costs for 2006, 2007 and 2008 are as follows:
Budget Year
Estimated Total Annual
Estimated Allocation of
Cost of OMERS Support
Costs per OMERS '
Municipal/Police Services
Employee
2006 (partial year)
$170,000
$1.73
2007
$498,000
$5.06
2008
$563,000
$5.72
Note: The above estimates may be reduced if certain costs are recovered from other
designated employer groups, and is dependent upon number of meetings and
nature of the Sponsors Corporation workplan.
It is proposed that, in the Fall of 2006, municipalities with OMERS employees will
receive an invoice requesting payment of 2006 and 2007 allocated costs. .
The AMO Board of Directors recognizes that, for some, these may be considerable
sums of money. While providing this level of investment in employer interests is not
within AMO's current financial capacity, this is a very important matter for
municipalities who have employees enrolled in the OMERS plan. Not investing to
protect the employers' interests puts those interests at greater risk.
It is AMO's expectation and hope that each OMERS municipal employer will see the
need to contribute, and do so on an ongoing basis. AMO will report regularly to the
OMERS municipal employers on the proceeds of this special fund (e.g., budget and
expenditures) and the ongoing work of the AMO employer representatives.

GENERAL COMMITTEE - OCTOBER 3, 2006
Questions and Answers
1. Why should an OMERS Municipal employer contribute?
While voluntary, each municipal government that is an OMERS employer has an
interest in the quality and effectiveness of the pension plan and the nature of benefits
and contribution rates, among other matters. If municipalities do not invest in their
representative role, those interests are at greater risk.
2. What will the Fund pay for?
The OMERS Support Fund will allow AMO to support the employer representatives on
the Sponsors Corporation and Administration Corporation, and provide the
professional services they may need, including: legal advice; actuarial advice;
research; and, other specialized expert advice and professional fees as required.
In future years, it will also assist with AMO's costs to acquire professional recruitment
services as new appointments are required. As well, there may be appointments to
two committees advising on benefits (one for police/paramedic/fire employee
members, one for 'other' members) resulting from Bill 206.
The OMERS Support Fund will provide support to AMO employer representatives
exclusively so that they will be better equipped to protect the specific interests of
municipal employers. Some of these costs could be shared with other employer
groups, which AMC is pursuing.
3. Is there no other source of funding for this?
No, there is no other source of funding to support AMO's new representative role.
The Ontario Government does not accept the argument that municipal employer
representatives will need additional resources to protect the interests of municipal
government at the Sponsors Corporation during interest negotiations .
AMC does not have sufficient in-house resources to fund these efforts from its current
budget. Furthermore, there are a number of AMO members who are not OMERS
employers. Thus, increasing AMO membership fees to finance these efforts would not
be equitable nor appropriate. That's why the AMO Board of Directors is asking
municipalities who are OMERS employers to contribute to a special fund to support
employer representation at OMERS.
4. How will AMO administer the funds to support the municipal
representatives?
AMO will be setting up an OMERS municipal employer Steering Committee that will
oversee the use of this funding. In addition to the Steering Committee's regular
communications to contributors, there will be an annual Fund statement, accounting
for the expenditures and revenue related to the proposed OMERS Support Fund.

GENERAL COMMITTEE - OCTOBER 3, 2006
Background: OMERS Act - Summary
On June 1, 2005 the Government of Ontario introduced Bill 206, An Act to revise the
Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement System Act, or the Ontario Municipal
Employees Retirement System Act, 2005 (i.e., OMERS Act).
After consideration of the Bill, including referral to the Standing Committee on
General Government, at both First and Second Reading, it received Royal Assent on
February 23, 2006 and came into force upon proclamation, June 30, 2006.
Key Features of the new OMERS Act:
• Continues the current OMERS pension plan as a defined benefit plan, equally
funded by employers and employee plan members
• Introduces a new governance model:
o Creates anew OMERS Sponsors Corporation, which has the authority to
determine plan design, set contribution rates and establish a fee to
cover its expenses (i.e., levy)
o Creates a new OMERS Administration Corporation, which will continue
to act as administrator of the OMERS pension plans and funds, with
authority to invest the assets of the plans
Requires the establishment of an initial supplemental pension plan for emergency
services sector employees (i.e., police, fire, paramedics) within 24 months (see
attached Appendix "A"). The authority for any additional supplemental pension
plans in the future rests as a discretion of the Sponsors Corporation. Supplemental
Plans are separately -funded, stand-alone registered pension plans that offer
benefits not available in the current primary plan.
• The Sponsors Corporation may be supported by two advisory committees to be
appointed by the Sponsors Corporation: an 8-member committee for
police/fire/paramedics and a 12-member committee for 'other" members and
employers.

GENERAL COMMITTEE — OCTOBER 3, 2006
Background: Sponsors Corporation
The Ontario Government appointed the initial members of the Sponsors Corporation
for one year, until the Sponsors Corporation passes a by-law determining how their
members are to be appointed in the future. The Province sought nominees from the
legislated representative groups.
The Sponsors Corporation Board of Directors consists of 14 voting members with a total
distribution of 18 votes, as follows:

The roles and resoonsibilities of the Sponsors Corporation are as follows:
• Required to meet triennially (or as convened by Chair)
• Approve plan design and benefit changes
• Set contribution rates
• Decide whether to file an actuarial valuation more often than every three years
(companion legislation requires that a valuation be filed at least triennially)
• May pass by-laws, including:
o Composition of Sponsors Corporation, term of office, method of choosing its
members and weighted voting provisions
o Composition of Administration Corporation, term of office, and method of
choosing its members
o Remuneration and expenses of Sponsors Corporation board members
o Remuneration and expenses of Administration Corporation board members

GENERAL COMMITTEE — OCTOBER 3, 2006
o Use of additional decision -making mechanisms such as mediation and
arbitration
o Fees that maybe charged to members and employers to cover Sponsors
Corporation expenses (e.g., those not payable out of the pension fund)
• To make a benefit improvement, the Sponsors Corporation is required to approve
the change by a two-thirds majority vote. If the vote is less than two-thirds but is at
least 50% plus one (in other words, supported by a simple majority), the proposed
change can then go to mediation and/or arbitration
• With its consent, can enter into agreements for the Administration Corporation to
administer third -party pension plans or funds with the costs to be paid by the third -
party plan or fund
• Appoints an external Auditor to audit the accounts and transactions of the
Sponsors Corporation
• Prepares an annual report containing the certified audited financial statements of
the Sponsors Corporation

GENERAL COMMITTEE - OCTOBER 3, 2006
Background: Administration Corporation
The Ontario Government proposed to appoint the existing members of the OMERS
board to the Administration Corporation for the remainder of their current terms (up to
three years), in order to provide for continuity during the transition, and sought
nominees from the other legislated representative groups.
The Administration Corporation consists of 14 voting members appointed initially by
the Provincial Government and then eventually nominated by sponsor organizations.
The ultimate composition of this group will be determined by a Sponsors Corporation
by-law, which must be passed with a 2/3rds majority.

Appendix A: OMERS Supplemental Plans
Under the new OMERS Act Supplemental Plans must be established for those in
"public safety" occupations - police officers, fire fighters and paramedics.
Supplemental Plans are separate, stand-alone pension plans that would offer
benefits not available in the OMERS basic pension plan, such as early
retirement and a three-year best salary average, as follows:
Supplemental Plan Benefits for Police, Firefighters, and Paramedics

• To be eligible for early retirement factors, members must be within 10 years of normal
retirement age
• All supplemental benefits apply to service accruals after the supplemental is
implemented (i.e., all prior service remains under current rules) unless the past service
associated with the particular benefit is paid for by the employer and/or member
• The member has the option to pay for supplemental coverage on all or part of past
service. Although not required, employers may pay past service costs for
supplemental plans with the exception of the higher annual accrual rate).

Dear Roger.
As you know, with the passage of Blli 200, CUPE locals now have the right w bargain
suppiementats to their OMER$ pension plan.
€ am writing to put you on notice, that CUPE Ontario is recommending our locals put
suppiementals on the bargaining table In every municipality, school board and children's
aid society -backed -up by our right to strike. Provided with the same SuPPIOInentai rights
under Bill 206 as police and fire, we are also recommending that paramedics put
suppiementals on every bargaining table,
The suppiementals we are preparing to bring forward include, but are not limited to the
following: rule of 85 with unreduced pensfon; best 3 years; indexing; and a reduced CPP
offset,
CUPE Ontario fought hard and won the removal of the accrual rate cap from both Bill
206 and the Municipal Act; opening the door for our locals to bargain a reduction to their
CPP offset. CUPE Ontario will also place on the agenda at OMER$ an increase In the
aaxuai rate for our members, and NRA 60 recognition for paramedics.
Within CUPE, we are currently going into our annual bargaining conferences, where the
strategy for suppiementals will be hammered out. We are eager to move forward, and
I'm looking forward to keeping the lines of communication open. To that end, it would be
extremely helpful to know the OMERS contact Person at AMO.
I took forward to working with you over the coming months,: on the pension Issues i have
raised herein.
Yours truly,

implementation of the Traffic Calming Plan be referred to the 2007 Capital Budget
process for Council's consideration, including funding for an evaluation report on
the impact of traffic on the surrounding neighbourhoods.
THAT Public Works and Central York Fire Services be consulted regarding possible
concerns they may have on the proposed recommendations.
COMMENTS
The following are the results of the above noted Poll.
1.0 Neighbourhood Poll
Under the Town's Traffic Calming Policy, a successful Poll must achieve a 60% response
rate from residents/businesses within the Study Area, and of those responses there must
be a 60% approval rate.
On September 5, 2006 the attached letter (see Appendix "A") was delivered to all
residences and businesses within the limits of the Study Area for the Northeast (NE)
Quadrant Traffic Calming Study. The Poll closed on September 18, 2006. A 67%
response rate was achieved during the Poll, and of the responses just under 72% voted in
favour of the Plan. The Poll requirements of the Traffic Calming Policy have therefore
been met and the process can now move on to the next steps.
1.1 Comments received with Poll Submissions
A number of different comments, both positive and negative, were received from
residents when they submitted their responses to the Poll. The only repeated
comment received, however, was from a number of residents on Birch Court and
Cedar Crescent who are concerned with the proposed removal of the all -way stop
signs at the intersection of Walton Drive/Birch Court/Cedar Crescent.
Eight responses were received from the 12 residences on Birch Court, and all noted
that they would only vote "yes" if the all -way stop signs were to remain. Inasmuch
as the Poll was requesting responses to the Plan as a whole, these responses were
counted as being "No" votes.
Thirteen responses were received in total from the 18 residences on Cedar
Crescent, with 8 voting "No", and 4 of those 8 stating that they would have voted
"Yes" if the all -way stop signs were to remain. Fifteen responses were received in
total from the 29 residences on Walton Drive, with 4 voting "No", and 2 of those 4
requesting that the multi -way stop signs remain.

GENERAL COMMITTEE - OCTOBER 3, 2006
October 3, 2006 .3- Report No. PW06-052
1.2 Staff Response to Resident's Concerns
Although the Town's consultant had stated in an e-mail to a resident during the
course of the Poll that he could support the retention of the multi -way stop sign
control at the intersection of Walton Drive/Birch Court/Cedar Crescent if it meantthe
Poll was approved by residents of Cedar Crescent and Birch Court, staff do not
agree with this position for the following reasons:
• The multi -way stop signs are not warranted at this intersection based on the
Town's multi -way stop sign warrants. Staff are undertaking a program to review
all multi -way stop sign locations in the Town, with the goal of bringing a report to
the new TSAB in 2007 (or to Council should the next Council not reinstitute the
TSAB) to recommend the removal of unwarranted multi -way stop signs
throughout the Town. Leaving this unwarranted multi -way stop location in place
would make it very difficult to remove other unwarranted stop signs in the Town;
• One of the main goals of the Plan is to make it easier for traffic to use the
collector roads, Mark Street and Walton Drive, and more difficult for traffic to use
the local streets. Leaving an unwarranted stop sign in place along Walton Drive
is contrary to this goal. Traffic tends to flow where it can move most efficiently,
and leaving an unwarranted impediment along Walton Drive is contrary to the
goal of enticing the traffic to use the collector streets and not the local streets;
• The Traffic Calming Plan has consistently been presented as an "all -or -nothing"
solution. Making this change to the Plan solely in order to win support from a
certain group of residents, while other residents in the Study Area were voting on
the Plan on an "all -or -nothing" basis, is neither fair nor proper.
Staff have advised residents who enquired about this issue that votes received
stating that they would only vote "Yes" if the multi -way stop signs at this location
were removed would be counted as "No" votes in the results of the Poll. Staff also
advised these residents that since this matter was the only one that staff received
any significant comments about during the course of the Poll, mention of it would be
made in this report so that the matter was brought to Council's attention.
2.0 Road Alteration By-law
Assuming Council approves the recommendations of this report, the next steps are to
enact the Road Alteration By-law and then issue the "Notice of Study Completion" for the
Class Environmental Assessment (EA).
Normal practice would have been to wait for final approval of this report prior to placing the
required advertising for the Road Alteration By-law. However, given the timing of the
remaining Council meetings prior to the election, this is not possible. The advertisements
for the By-law have therefore been placed in the Era Banner for today (October 3) and
-31-
GENERAL COMMITTEE — OCTOBER 3, 2006
October 3, 2006 .4. Report No. PW06-052
October 10, 2006, although the standard wording has been revised to reflect that the By-
law will only be considered upon successful adoption of the recommendations of this
Report by Council.
3.0 Timing
Assuming the successful adoption of the Road Alteration By-law on October 17, 2005, the
Notice of Study Completion for the NE Quadrant Traffic Calming Study Class EA will be
issued. Once the 30-day appeal period is up, assuming no "Part 2" or "bump -up" requests
have been made, the Class EA will be approved.
Staff will then be able to commence the detail design work for the Traffic Calming Plan,
which will among other things, allow for detailed cost estimates to be generated to be
presented for Council's consideration as part of the 2007 Capital Budget.
Should the budget for this project be approved, staff are intending to include the traffic
calming works in the contract for the reconstruction of Mark Street, Oak Court, Birch Court,
and Cedar Crescent. This will allow for the best coordination of the implementation of the
works, and likely better costs.
OPTIONS
Council may decide not to give final approval to the design of the Traffic Calming Plan.
Council may decide to retain the multi -way stop signs at the intersection of Walton
Drive/Birch Court/Cedar Crescent.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
As discussed in Report PW06-041, funding for the implementation of the NE Quadrant
Traffic Calming Plan will be presented to Council for consideration as part of the 2007
Capital Budget. This will include funding for an evaluation of the impacts, if any, that the
implementation of the Traffic Calming Plan might have on the area to the north of the
Study Area, as requested by Council.
CONCLUSIONS
As required under the Town's Traffic Calming Policy, a poll of residents and business
people within the study area has been undertaken. The results of the poll (67% response
of which 72% approved of the Traffic Calming Plan) met the Policy requirements and
hence, the next steps toward implementation are proposed in this report.

Re: NE Quadrant Traffic Calming Study — Resident's Poll Regarding Traffic Calming Plan
Dear Residents,
On August 22, 2006 Council considered Report PW06-041 (Northeast Quadrant Traffic Calming
Project — Proposed Traffic Calming Plan) and resolved:
"THAT Report No. TSAB06-041 "Northeast Quadrant Traffic Calming Project — Proposed Traffic
Calming Plan" be received; and
THAT Council:
• approve in principle the Traffic Calming Plan for the Northeast Quadrant; and
• authorize the consultant to conduct a poll of households within the Northeast Quadrant to
ascertain their views on the traffic calming design as contained in Report No. PW06-041;
and
THAT subject to a successful poll as described within Report No. PW06-041, staff be authorized
to post the necessary advertising for the road alteration by-law; and
THAT subject to the passing of the road alteration by-law the consultant be
authorized to issue the "Notice of Study Completion'; and
THAT should there be no appeal to the Ministry of the Environment during the 30-day review
period after the publication of the "Notice of Study Completion" that the implementation of the
Traffic Calming Plan be referred to the 2007 Capital Budget process for Council's consideration,
including funding for an evaluation report on the impact of traffic on the surrounding
neighbourhoods.
THAT Public Works and Central York Fire Services be consulted regarding possible concerns
they may have on the proposed recommendations.
The underlined sections of the resolution were added by Council during the debate on the staff
Report.
The next step in this project, and the intent of this letter, is to initiate the resident's poll that is required
under the Town's Traffic Calming Policy. It is required that the poll have a 60% response rate from
households or businesses in the Study Area, and that there be a 60% approval of the proposed
Traffic Calming Plan.

TOWN OF AURORA
GENERAL COMMITTEE REPORT No. PL06-106
SUBJECT: Application to Amend the Zoning By -law -Removal of Holding (H)
Provision
Schickedanz Bros. Ltd. (Elderberry Hill)
13990 and 14028 Yonge Street, Aurora
File; D14-04-05 (Ref. D12-013A)
FROM: Sue Seibert, Director of Planning and Development Services
DATE: October 3, 2006
RECOMMENDATIONS
THAT Council enact By-law 484ZO6.D to remove the Holding (H) prefix from the
lands legally described as Part of Lot 72, Concession 1, W.Y.S (13990 and 14028
Yonge Street) at the Council Meeting of October 10, 2006.
BACKGROUND
This site was the subject of an Ontario Municipal Board Hearing for an Official Plan
Amendment and Rezoning in the fall of 2000 along with the South Aurora Landowners
Group (SALOG) property within the Yonge Street South Urban Expansion Area
Secondary Plan adopted by Council on July 25, 2000. The Board's Order for the
Schickedanz site approves both site specific Official Plan Amendment 39, and Zoning
By-law Amendment 4245-OO.D for the 2 unit to the acre development with a
comprehensive policy excluding development in the most sensitive parts of the site and
limiting it in others. The development concept reflected in the Zoning By-law is for 40
detached dwelling units in clusters accessed by public cul-de-sacs.
Location/Land Use
The Schickedanz Elderberry Trail property is located at the north west corner of Yonge
Street and Elderberry Trail and is approximately 8.0217 hectares (19.82 acres) in size.
and previously contained a horse farm.
Official Plan
The subject lands are designated "Cluster Residential", "Public Open Space" and
"Environmental Function Area" according to the Land Use Schedule in Official Plan
Amendment No. 39. This site specific designation was approved by the Ontario
Municipal Board in their decision date December 29, 2000.
—37—
GENERAL COMMITTEE — OCTOBER 3, 2006
October 10, 2006 - 2 - Report No. PL06-106
Zoning By-law
The subject lands are currently zoned "(H) Detached Dwelling First Density
Residential (R1-301) Exception Zone", "Environmental Protection (EP-14)
Exception Zone" and "Open Space (0-15) Exception Zone" by the Town of Aurora
Zoning By-law 2213-78, as amended as per the Ontario Municipal Board decision of
December 29, 2000. The conditions for removal of the "(H)" Holding prefix pertaining to
the residential portion of the property are set out in the site specific provisions of the by-
law which are as follows:
• the Town of Aurora, the Region of York and the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation
Authority are satisfied that a hydrogeological study has been completed to their
satisfaction in accordance with the Terms of Reference as attached to Official Plan
Amendment No. 39 as Appendix "B";
• the Region of York has confirmed that adequate servicing capacity is available and
the Town of Aurora has allocated such capacity; and,
• a subdivision agreement, and/or other agreement(s) as required, have been
executed between the Owner of the lands and the Corporation of the Town of
Aurora.
COMMENTS
The applicant has applied to the Town of Aurora to remove the Holding (H)" provision
from the subject lands. As indicated above, the site specific provisions of the Zoning
by-law detailed the requirements for the applicant to address prior to removal of the
"(H)" Holding prefix. The applicant has addressed the above mentioned conditions to
and staff have received no objections by any Town departments or external agencies to
the request for comments on the lifting of the Hold. As such staff are of the opinion that
the conditions of the Hold provisions have been effectively fulfilled and secured and
recommend the lifting of the Holding By-law for the subject lands be approved.
OPTIONS
The conditions for removal of the "(H)" Holding prefix have been satisfied and the Town
holds securities for the development of the subject lands. As such, Council may
proceed with enacting the attached by-law to lift the "(H)" Holding provision.
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
mom
GENERAL COMMITTEE — OCTOBER 3, 2006

development activity. The subject application assists in achieving these objectives
through the development of this new residential. neighbourhood.
CONCLUSIONS
The requirements for removing the Holding (H) prefix on these lands have been
satisfied. Staff are therefore recommending that Council enact By-law 4842.06.D (see
Appendix 1) to lift the Holding symbol on the subject lands thereby allowing the
development of the lands to proceed in accordance with the provisions of the
Subdivision Agreement.

No. PL06-121
SUBJECT: Issues Related to New Over Sized Housing Developments in Existing
Neighbourhoods (Update Report)
FROM: Susan Seibert, Director of Planning and Development Services
DATE: October 3, 2006
RECOMMENDATION
THAT Report PL06-121, being an update report regarding the construction of over
sized infill housing in existing neighbourhoods be received as information; and
THAT, Staff be directed to continue working through the process related to new
oversized housing developments as outlined in report PL06-121.
Council passed the following resolution at their meeting held on July 11, 2006:
"THAT Report PL06-076 regarding the construction of over sized infill housing in
existing neighbourhoods be received as information;
THAT Council direct Planning Staff to initiate a working group with the Building
Administration Department, in orderto determine which infill zoning provisions used
in other municipalities can be successfully applied in the Town of Aurora;
THAT Staff be further directed to identify a preferred zoning option and determine
the geographic area or areas where the infill zoning provisions would apply;
THAT Staff be directed to seek public involvement in the process by hosting a
Public Open House; and
THAT, Staff report back on the matter in September 2006."
COMMENTS
Establishment of a Working Group
In accordance with the above resolution, a working group was established made up of the
following members of the Planning and Development Services and Building Administration
Departments:

Report No. PL06-121
Report PL06-076, which recommended the above resolution was deferred from both the
June 20, 2006 General Committee meeting and the June 27, 2006 Council meeting. As a
result, the working group has only had the opportunity to have one meeting. This meeting
was a brainstorming session where infill housing by-laws from other municipalities were
reviewed, and some preferred zoning provisions were identified. Some of these preferred
provisions include the following:
• requiring a minimum distance separation between dwelling units;
• requiring that a minimum front yard setback is calculated based on the average set
back of the adjacent dwellings, including encroachments;
• the maximum allowable height of a flat roof is currently 10 m (32.81 ft.), Staff feel
this is too high [in the Village of Markham the limit is 8 m (26.25 ft)];
• requiring that the maximum number to storeys is decreased from three to two;
• including a maximum height provision for the first storey;
• requiring a limit on driveway depressions as they add mass to a dwelling;
• requiring a minimum landscaped area;
• requiring a maximum allowable depth provision, to be measured from the required
front yard set back [it is common for other municipalities to use 16 m (52.49 ft.)];
• limiting garage projections;
• possibly limiting garage coverage;
Case Study: 132 Hillview Road
One of the new dwellings which led to resident concerns regarding infill housing is 132
Hillview Road. If one were to use this development as a case study therefore and apply
the above infill zoning provisions, the following results would be achieved:
• limiting the height to two storeys would reduce the height of the rear facade by one
storey;
• limiting the height of the first storey would reduce the size of the front facade;
• prohibiting depressed driveways would removed some of the mass from the front
fagade;
• establishing a minimum distance separation to adjacent dwellings would reduce the
—46—
GENERAL COMMITTEE — OCTOBER 3, 2006
October 3, 2006 .3- Report No. PLO6-121
impact on adjacent properties;
• a minimum landscaped area requirement would -increase the quality of the design
and provide for a less "concrete" looking fagade; and
limiting building depth would reduce the size of the footprint, thus reducing the
impact of the development.
Staff are of the opinion therefore that infill zoning provisions such as those described
above are beneficial as they would provide for an increased quality of design and reduced
impact on the character of existing neighbourhoods. Furthermore, the impact of infill
housing on the existing adjacent dwellings would also be reduced.
It should be noted that Staff have received telephone calls from two residents of Hillview
Road who have expressed concerns with any proposed by-law changes on their street.
These residents have said that they are satisfied with the infill housing built on their street
and that it would be unfair to now place restrictions on new housing, which previous
builders did not have to conform to. There was also an expression of concern that infill
zoning provisions would have a negative impact on property values on the street.
Relationship between Infill Zoning and Heritage District Plans
As Council is aware, a Heritage District Plan has been prepared for the area known as
Northeast Old Aurora. This plan contains provisions similarto the ones described above in
order to ensure that redevelopment in the area is consistent with the Heritage Character.
The Ontario Heritage Act allows for the creation of these plans, which supersede the
zoning by-law. However, it is the Town's intention that the zoning by-law be brought into
conformity with the Heritage District Plan in the fullness of time for consistency purposes.
In preparing a zoning by-law amendment regarding infill residential development and
determining their applicable areas, it should be noted that in some areas, this by-law could
proceed along with a Heritage District Plan if the area contains considerable heritage
resources. to other areas such as Hillview Drive, where heritage resources are limited, a
Heritage District Plan would not be warranted and therefore an infill by-law would proceed
independently, should Council direct it. It should therefore be noted that different
geographical areas may require different approaches when dealing with infill development.
Next Steps
The next step would be to continue studying infill zoning provisions used in other
municipalities in orderto establish preferred zoning provisionswhich could be presented to
residents at a Public Open House. At that time, a decision could also be made as to
whether the process would benefit from having a steering committee with citizen
involvement. The working group would also undertake a study of the Town in order to
determine what geographic area or areas the infill zoning provisions would apply, which
would ultimately be decided by Council.
—47—
GENERAL COMMITTEE — OCTOBER 3,
2006 _
October 3, 2006
OPTIONS
- 4 - Report No. PL06-121
As the study progresses, Council will have a number of options regarding preferred zoning
provisions as well as applicable geographic area.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
No funds to carry out additional studies that are not identified within the departmental
business plans have been included in the 2006 capital budget. Some Staff time has been
freed up, by reordering priorities to undertake a preliminary review of zoning standards and
studies that have been undertaken in other municipalities in the Greater Toronto Area.
Funds may be needed in 2007 for this undertaking depending upon the results of these
preliminary investigations.
LINK TO STRATEGIC PLAN
The Strategic Plan contains objectives to ensure high quality, comprehensive community
planning and preserving heritage resources. A review of the Town's zoning by-law as it
relates to infill development would be consistent with these objectives.
PROVINCIAL POLICY STATEMENT
The Provincial Policy Statement requires the conservation of significant built heritage
resources and significant cultural heritage landscapes.
CONCLUSION
In accordance with Council's resolution, a working group has been established which
contains members of both the Planning and Development Services and Building
Administration Department. An inaugural meeting was held and some preferred infill
zoning provisions were identified. Staff believe that there is value in further studying these
and other provisions and that their application would be beneficial as they would provide for
an increased quality of design and reduced impact on the character of existing
neighbourhoods. Furthermore, infill zoning provisions would also reduce the impact of infill
housing on the existing adjacent dwellings. Should Council agree that there is merit in
studying infill development, it is recommended that they direct Staff to continue working
through the identified process.

south of Centre Street, west of Industrial Parkway North, east of the train tracks, and are
municipally known as 154 Wellington Street East. The subject property has an
approximate area of 73OM2 (7,855ft ), has a frontage of 15m (49ft.) on Wellington Street

portion of the subject lands has a cross easement in favour of the adjacent western
property.
Surrounding Uses
To the North: Residential and Commercial — Tony's auto repair shop across Centre Street
South: Vacant — across Wellington Street East
East: Mix use — residential and commercial
West: Commercial -Animal Hospital
Official Plan
The subject lands are designated as "Service Commercial" by the Town of Aurora Official
Plan and are located within the Town's designated "Heritage Resource Area". Permitted
uses for lands designated as Service Commercial include, but are not limited to, offices,
data processing centres, motels, hotels, restaurants, technical trades, and child care
centres. Staff are of the opinion that the proposed rezoning to allow the lands to be used
for an animal hospital, including ancillary retail, or a business and professional office,
conforms to the policies of the Official Plan.

GENERAL COMMITTEE — OCTOBER 3, 2006
October 3, 2006 - 2 - Report No. PL06-122
Zoning By-law
The subject lands are currently zoned `Restricted Industrial (M1-A) Exception Zone" by the
Town of Aurora Zoning By-law 2213-78, as amended. The M1-A Zone permits a wide
range of uses that include, but are not limited to, warehouses, commercial self storage
facilities, data processing centres, repair shops, and trade schools. The proposed uses of
the lands for the purposes of an animal hospital with accessory retail, or a business office,
are not permitted by the Zoning By-law.
September 28, 2005 Public Planning Meeting
At the September 28t" public meeting, no objections regarding the subject application were
expressed by Staff or members of the public. As noted in the public planning report (PL05-
090), the Building Department did recommend that the implementation of the zoning by-law
be subject to a review of a site plan submission in order to better evaluate by-law
performance provisions relating to parking and building setbacks. After the public meeting,
Council adopted the following resolution,
"THAT Council approve the application, in principle, subject to a site plan submission that
addresses concerns raised by the Building Department".
RESOLUTION OF OUTSTANDING ISSUES
Parking
The applicant submitted a site plan application on June 19", 2006. As illustrated on the
site plan (Figure 2) the applicant intends tc
sufficient vehicle manoeuvring space, to the
the existing laneway.
Building Setbacks
provide the necessary parking spaces, with
rear of the existing building and to the east of
As illustrated by the attached site plan, York Region is protecting a 36 metre (118ft.) right-
of-way along Wellington Street East. It is noted that the existing building and porch is
located within this right-of-way. As such, the Regional Municipality of York requires the
conveyance of land between the front porch and the existing street line [approximately
5mx11m (16ft.x36ft.)]. Building setbacks noted in the implementing by-law have been
adjusted accordingly.
Given that the submission of the site plan application has provided clarification with respect
to parking and building setback provisions, Staff have no objections to the passing of the
implementing zoning by-law.
OPTIONS
Council has the option of either approving the site specific Zoning By -Law 4862-06.D or
directing staff to modify the aforementioned document.

GENERAL COMMITTEE — OCTOBER 3, 2006
October 3, 2006 -3- Report No. PL06-122
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
Fees and service charges will be payable upon execution of the site plan agreement.
LINK TO STRATEGIC PLAN
The Strategic Plan contains goals that promote a sustainable community that respects its
historic culture and character, and embraces diverse cultural development and renewal
with sound environmental management and business development activity. Review of the
subject applications through the Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment process, as
well as the Site Plan process, will contribute in the facilitation of these goals.
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 to rezone the subject
lands from "Restricted Industrial (MI -A) Exception Zone" to a site specific "Service
Commercial (C3-16) Exception Zone". The rezoning would enable the subject lands to be
used for an animal hospital, including accessory retail, or a business and professional
office. Staff have no objection to the approval of implementation of By-law 4862-06.D.

GENERAL COMMITTEE REPORT No. FS06-034
SUBJECT: Annual Cancellation, Reduction or Refund of property taxes under
Section 357 of the Municipal Act
FROM: L. John Gutteridge, Director of Finance/Treasurer
DATE: October 3, 2006
RECOMMENDATIONS
THAT the Property Taxes in the amount of $34, 784.07 be adjusted in accordance with
Section 357 of the Municipal Act; the Town of Aurora's portion being $10,703.66;
THAT the associated penalty/interest be cancelled in proportion to the tax
adjustment;
THAT the Director of Finance/Treasurer be directed to adjust the Co/lector's Roll,
BACKGROUND
Applications have been received to adjust taxes under Sections 357 of the Municipal Act,
2001 S.O. 2001 c, 25 as amended for the taxation years 2005 and 2006 as specified on
the attached Schedule A.
Sections 357 of the Municipal Act allows for the cancellation, reduction, or refund of
property taxes. Section 357 permits property tax adjustments for the following reasons:
a) as a result of a change event, as defined in clause (a) of the definition of "change
event" in subsection 34(2.2) of the Assessment Act, during the taxation year, the
property orportion of the property is eligible to be reclassified in a different class of
real property, as defined in regulations made under that Act, and that class has a
lower tax ratio for the taxation year than the class the property or portion of the
property is in before the change event, and if no supplementary assessment is
made in respect of the change event undersubsection 34(2) of theAssessmentAct;
b) the land has become vacant land or excess land during the year or during the
preceding year after the return of the assessment roll for the preceding year;
c) the land has become exempt from taxation during the year or during the preceding
year after the return of the assessment roll for the preceding year;
d) during the year or during the preceding year after the return of the assessment roll,
a building on the land,

i. was razed by fire, demolition or otherwise or
ii. was damaged by fire, demolition or otherwise so as to render it substantially
unusable for the purposes for which it was used immediately prior to the

fl a mobile unit on the land was removed from the local municipality during the year or
during the preceding year after the return of the assessment roll for the preceding
year;
g) a person was overcharged due to a gross ormanifest error that is clerical or factual
in nature, including the transposition of figures, a typographical error or similar error
but not an error in judgement in assessing the property, or
h) repairs orrenovations to the land prevented the normal use of the lands fora period
of at least three months during the year.
COMMENTS
The 19 applications for the adjustment of property taxes filed under Sections 357 have
been reviewed and approved bythe Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC)
and Town of Aurora's Financial Services Department as required by the Municipal Act.
The schedule attached identifies the amount of the property tax adjustment, the year of
taxation, and the reason for the adjustment. The value is inclusive of the Town of Aurora,
Region of York and Boards of Education portions of the property taxes.
OPTIONS
01
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS:
The amount of property taxes adjusted for each of the Region of York and Boards of
Education will be reflected on the 2006 payment submissions to these bodies. The Town
of Aurora's portion of the levy for the two years 2005 and 2006 is $10,703.66.
The 2006 budget for Town tax adjustments is $150,000. To date, (including the
adjustments contained in this report) we have processed Assessment Review Board (ARB)
Decisions, Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) Reconsideration's, Bill79
and Bill 140 Capping and Clawback Adjustments, Municipal Act Sections 357 and 358
Adjustments totalling $185,893.19. The Town of Aurora's share is $59,435.28 less the
amount accrued as at December 31, 2005 of $50,711.04 for a net 2006 expenditure to
date of $8,724.24(See Schedule B attached hereto).
The Town of Aurora maintains an Allowance for Tax Write Off's and Adjustments (GL
Code 1-1-00100-0060). The funds available in this allowance to offset unbudgeted Tax
Write Off's and Adjustments are $150,000.00.

GENERAL COMMITTEE — OCTOBER 3, 2006
OCTOBER 3, 2006 - 3 - Report No. FS06-034
Assessment Review Board (ARB) decisions and Municipal Property Assessment
Corporation (MPAC) Reconsiderations will continue to be processed as they are received
to year-end. We have a number of assessment appeals outstanding with the Assessment
Review Board for the taxation years 2003 through 2006 for properties in both the capped
and non -capped tax classes. The majority of these complaints are still at the Pre -Hearing
stage with the Assessment Review Board (ARB); therefore, we are unable to estimate the
financial impact of these outstanding assessment appeals should they be successful.
CONCLUSIONS
That Council approve the adjustment of property taxes under Sections 357 of the Municipal
Act totalling $34,784.07.

GENERL COMMITTEE - OCTOBER 3, 2006
VtTOWN OF AURORA AGENDA ITEM9
GENERAL COMMITTEE REPORT No. LS06-043
SUBJECT: Naming of Park
FROM: Allan D. Downey, Director of Leisure Services
DATE: October 3, 2006
RECOMMENDATIONS
THAT Council approve the name Stewart Burnett Park for the future Community
Park proposed for the lands north and west of the Aurora Recreation Complex
(ARC); and
THAT appropriate signage be erected on site indicating that the lands have been
named and identified as noted for future community park use.
BACKGROUND
With the acquisition of the Burnett property and the successful completion of the new
Recreation Complex (ARC) on a portion of these lands it has been deemed appropriate
that one of the next phases of development on the remainder of the lands could potentially
be an active community park.
The Culture and Recreation Master Plan indicates that several community wide sports field
facilities are needed in the near term if we are to achieve the approved level of recreation
facility services for our residents.
In view of this situation and to recognize a very prominent and historic connection to the
subject lands it is considered appropriate that the future park be named, "Stewart Bumett
Park" in honour of Mr. Stewart Burnett, the long time Aurora resident and owner/operator of
the Burnett family farm on the lands that are now occupied by the ARC and future
Community Park.
It is well known that Mr Stewart Burnett, did in fact have a significant history in the Town of
Aurora and the Town of Witchurch Stouffville prior to the annexation of that part of the
Township by the Town of Aurora when the Regional Municipality of York reorganized the
municipal boundaries in the early 1970s.
COMMENTS
Based on the attached personal outline and distinguished accomplishments of Mr. Burnett
it is clear in the opinion of staff that the name Stewart Burnett Park is a most appropriate
selection for this future Community Park.
In reviewing the Public Facilities Naming Policy it is the opinion of staff that the process
required to establish a name for this park is in compliance with the Public Facilities Naming
Policy

GENERAL COMMITTEE — OCTOBER 3, 2006
October 3, 2006 - 2 - Report No. LS06-043
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
Current Year
Cost associated with installing temporary park name signage are estimated at
approximately $300.00 and funds are available in Parks Division operational accounts for
this expenditure.
OPTIONS
Council could elect to defer naming of the future Community Park until a later date,
however given that the ARC has now been completed with the Official Grand Opening
scheduled for October 28, 2006, it may be considered in the best public interest from a
Leisure Services recreation planning perspective to establish the name for this future
Community Park as a first step in the planning and development process for the actual
park.
CONCLUSIONS
That the General Committee consider this park naming request and provide staff with their
direction in this matter.
LINK TO STRATEGIC PLAN
Goal "Cl" speaks to maintaining, respecting, preserving and enhancing natural
environment, natural heritage and green spaces.

Proposal
No. PL06-120

• access is proposed via a double lane ingress and egress from Vandorf Sideroad;
and,
• Density: 4.54 units per gross hectare (1.83 units per gross acre)
The estimated population for this development is 225 persons (based on a calculation of
3 persons per dwelling unit).
It should be noted that access to the proposed draft plan has been slightly revised
(shifted further eastward along Vandorf Sideroad) to facilitate improved vehicular
movements along Vandorf Sideroad. This revision is reflected on Figure 2 of this report
and will be the final location of the access to the subject lands.
No Pre Sales Agreement

acceptable and has been signed by Brookvalley Developments (Aurora) Limited with an
accompanying letter of credit.

GENERAL COMMITTEE — OCTOBER 3, 2006
October 3, 2006 -3- Report No. PL06-120
SERVICING ALLOCATION
Council has an approved servicing allocation policy and matrix, listing applications
suitable for allocation of services (The matrix is updated quarterly with the approved
version being dated September 19, 2006). The Brookvalley Developments application is
ranked as third priority for allocation among all active applications. Brookvalley
Developments is requesting allocation of 75 units and all these units are available for
allocation in accordance with the approved policy and matrix. However, all of the 75
units will require additional draft approval conditions restricting building permit issuance
and pre -sales until the Region has indicating in writing that the infrastructure has
progressed to a point to allow for the removal of these restrictions.
As per the recommendations section of this report, the total allocation being
recommended by staff is 75 units with draft plan conditions containing restrictions on all
of these units.
PROVINCIAL POLICY STATEMENT
The subject proposal is consistent with the policies of the Provincial Policy Statement
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
Development charges and other associated development fees will be generated as a
result of the subject development proposal.
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 subject applications will facilitate this objective through the
creation of this new residential neighbourhood.
CONCLUSION
The subject proposal to permit the subject lands to be developed for a Draft Plan of
Subdivision subject lands is considered appropriate from a land use planning
perspective. The proposal conforms to the Town's Official Plan polices, Strategic Plan
policies and the provisions of the Provincial Policy Statement. The issues and concerns
raised by area residents have been addressed and there are no outstanding issues with
regard to the subject applications. Based on the aforementioned, staff recommends
Council draft approve the subject plan of subdivision subject to the conditions contained
within the Schedule of Conditions of Draft Approval attached as Appendix 'A' to this
report.

ITEM

Town of Aurora,
Attention: Mr. Bob Panizza
Dear Sir:
I would like to request delegate status at the council meeting on October 3,2006.
I would like to ask council to reverse their decision in March of 2004 to
change the address of the Town Hall.
Reasons given by two councilors as to why they supported the motion are,
in my opinion not relevant anymore.
Thank you in advance for the privilege of addressing council,
Yours truly,
Graham Wride.
