COUNCIL REPORT

No. BA05-005
SUBJECT: Variance to Sign By-law— Shoppers Drug Mart — 446 Hollandview Trail
FROM: Leo J. Grellette, Director of Building Administration
DATE: May 10, 2005
RECOMMENDATIONS
THAT Council approve the request by Shoppers Drug Mart for a variance to
permit an additional 28 square metres of signage subject to the following
conditions:
9. That the images be restricted to those shown on Appendix A
attached hereto
2. That there be no advertising, lettering, pricing or products display
3. That should the applicant wish to alter the images in any way that
an application for variance be brought before Council
4. That the images be enclosed in glass frames and be restricted to
the east wall
BACKGROUND
Council at the general committee meeting of May 3, 2005 approved in principle the
request by Shoppers Drug Mart for additional signage in the form of lifestyle images.
However council further requested that staff delineate or define parameters around the
term lifestyle and that staff provide the overall percentage of signage when compared to
the area of the wall.
Staff in considering parameters of the term "lifestyle" determined that as this termis highly
subjective and could mean very different things to various persons, depending on their
particular lifestyle, it would bring mor certainty to the application to restrict the request by
Shoppers Drug Mart to the particular images requested rather than to attempt to define the
term "lifestyle".
Staff also reviewed the drawing and calculated the overall wall area to be to be
approximately 270 square metres. The applicants are requesting a variance that will result
in total sign area of approximately 53 square metres. This will result in approximately 20%
of the total wall area being encumbered with signage.
IME
COUNCIL — MAY 10, 2005
May 10, 2005 .2. Report No. BA05-005
In discussions with the applicant staff are suggesting that the signage be restricted to the
images presented to the general committee as shown on Appendix A and that there be no
writing, lettering, pricing or product display. Furthermore staff would recommend that
should the applicant wish to alter or change the images from those shown on Appendix A
that a variance be required.
OPTIONS
Council could deny the request.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
Nil
CONCLUSIONS
That council approve the request by Shoppers Drug Mart for a variance to permit only the
images as depicted on Appendix A which are to be placed in glass frames on the east wall
of the store to be located at 446 Hollandview Trail with no writing, lettering, product display,
or pricing to be indicated thereon. In addition staff would recommend that should the
applicant wish to alter or change the images that they be required to apply for an additional
variance.

Reconstruction of Vandorf Sideroad from Industrial Parkway to Monkman Court/Archerhill
Court.
In consideration of the above, the tender for this project was issued on April 8, 2005.
COMMENTS
1.0 Project Description
This project involves the complete reconstruction of Vandorf Sideroad from Industrial
Parkway South to Monkman Court/Archerhill Court from its present 2-lane rural cross-
section to a 2-lane urban roadway with curbs, storm sewers, streetlights, and sidewalks on
both sides and a bikepath on the south side. To improve the geometry of this road, the
road elevation will rise by up to 1.4 metres in the section through the valley.
There are two streams within the project limits that have been identified as cold -water
fisheries. Therefore, as part of the project the existing partially failed culvert in the valley
west of Monkman Court will be replaced with a larger open -bottom structure and other
-35-
COUNCIL — MAY 10, 2005
May 10, 2005 - 2 - Report No. PW05-010
improvements will be made to improve fish habitat and fish passage through the culvert.
The second stream, which currently runs along the ditch on the south side of the road in
the valley, will be redirected to the north side of the road and a completely new stream will
be created.
This reconstruction project was initially identified in the Town's Development Charges By-
law to be completed in 2001. Due to the size and environmental sensitivity of the project a
full Schedule "C" Class Environmental Assessment (EA) was necessary, and this work
commenced in 1998. As part of the EA an extensive public and review agency
consultation program was undertaken, and the results of those consultations were
incorporated into the EA document and then into the design for the project. The EA was
completed and approved in 2000 and the design for the project was completed in 2001.
The project was later shifted from 2001 to 2002, and then during deliberations forthe 2002
Capital Budget, Council deferred the project to 2005.
As part of their approval for the project, the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans
requires that an environmental monitoring program be implemented. This monitoring
program will be conducted both during the construction and for a period of 2 years after the
construction is completed.
2.0 Closure of Vandorf Sideroad
The installation of a new culvert structure at the point where the tributary of the East
Holland River crosses Vandorf Sideroad and raising the centreline in this area will
necessitate the closure of the valley section of Vandorf Sideroad between the easterly
entrance to Van Robb Stamping, (200 metres east of Engelhard Drive), to Monkman
Court/Archerhill Court.
Until the contractor is onboard the detailed scheduling for the project will not be known.
Staff's estimation, however, is that the closure will be for 3 to 4 months, likely starting
sometime in June 2005.
Once the dates for the closure are known staff will bring forward the necessary by-law for
Council's adoption.
3.0 COMRIF Application for Funding for the Reconstruction of Vandorf Sideroad
Council, at its meeting of December 7, 2004, considered Report PW2004-47 (Application
for Funding forthe Reconstruction of VandorfSideroad between Industrial Parkway South
and Bayview Avenue - Canada -Ontario Municipal Rural Infrastructure Fund Program) and
resolved:
`THAT staffbe requested to prepare and submit a application to the Canada -Ontario
Municipal Rural Infrastructure Program for funding for the reconstruction of Vandorf
Sideroad from Industrial Parkway South to Bayview Avenue; and
—36—
COUNCIL — MAY 10, 2005
May 10, 2005 .3. Report No. PW05-010
THAT the reconstruction of Vandorf Sideroad from Industrial Parkway South to
Bayview Avenue be declared as the Town's highest priority project."
Staff subsequently completed and submitted the funding application. The amount of
funding sought was up to $1.634M, or two-thirds of the eligible costs of the project.
By letter dated April 25, 2005 (attached as Appendix "D"), the Town was informed that
Vandorf Sideroad project was not one of the "winners" of funding under the program.
At this time, no details are available on the reasons that this project was not successful in
being approved for funding under the COMRIF program. Staff will attempt to determine
these reasons with the objective of resubmitting the application for consideration during
future rounds of the COMRIF program, should the project qualify at that time.
The reconstruction of this road was part of the Town's Capital Program before the COMRIF
program was announced. Accordingly, although obtaining COMRIF funding would have
reduced the Town's overall costs to construct the project, this outside funding would have
been a "bonus" as the financing of the project was already part of the Town's Development
Charges By-law and Capital Road Reconstruction Program.
4.0 Tender Process
On April 22, 2005, the Tender Opening Committee opened 7 tenders for the reconstruction
of Vandorf Sideroad. The tender prices were as follows:

It is noted that the analysis of the bids revealed that the Miller Paving Limited bid is still the
lowest bid if the contingencies are not included in the calculations.
OPTIONS
Council may decide not to award the contract for this reconstruction project. However, the
condition of the road is such that our Operations Division have advised that they can no
longer maintain it in an acceptable fashion. Also, the environmental approvals, including
the Class EA, related to the project would also become stale -dated should the project not
proceed to construction in 2005.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
Funds have been allocated in the amount of $374,000 from the Municipal Capital Reserve,
$12,000 from the Sewer/Water reserve, $268,000 from the Storm Sewer Reserve and
$2,339,000 from the Development Charges Reserve,
The Municipal Capital part of the tender is $36,950.79 under budget, the Sewer/Water
portion is $18,563.19 over budget, the Storm Sewer portion is $58,722.01 over budget and
the Development Charges portion is $37,119.70 under budget. Overall, the entire project
is under budget by $3,214.70.
Funds are available in the Sewer/Water and Storm Reserves to fund the variances in those
parts of the project.
C"
COUNCIL — MAY 10, 2005
May 10, 2005 - 5 - Report No. PW05-010
CONCLUSIONS
The background Environmental Assessment work and design for the reconstruction of
Vandorf Sideroad from Industrial parkway South to Monkman Court/Archerhill Court was
commenced in 1998, with the construction of the project originally scheduled for 2001. An
extensive public and approval agency consultation program was undertaken during the
preparation of the Class EA for the project.
Although the application for funding for this project from the COMRIF program was not
approved, the financing for this project was already part of the Town's DC By-law and
Road Reconstruction program and the outside funding would have been a "bonus" for the
project. It is not an essential part of the planned financing for the project.
The total cost for this project is $3,214.70 under the budget estimate with required funding
for variances in the Sewer/Water and Storm funding to come from their respective rate
supported reserves.
The tendered price from Miller Paving Limited is $130,847.83 lower than the second bid
and is $280,350.71 lower than the average bid. Accordingly, it is believed the tendered
price submitted by Miller Paving Limited is a very competitive price.
Miller Paving Limited has successfully completed the reconstruction of Orchard Heights
Boulevard, Kennedy Street West, and Ridge Road in the past. These contracts were
completed in a timely manner.
In consideration of the above, it is suggested that the Tender submitted by Miller Paving
Limited be accepted.
As part of this project, Vandorf Sideroad from a point east of Engelhard Drive to Monkman
Court/Archerhill Court will have to be closed for a period of several months to allow for the
construction of the new culvert structure and the raising of the road grade. Once the dates
the contractor needs for the closure have been determined, staff will bring forward the
necessary by-law for Council's adoption.
LINK TO STRATEGIC PLAN
Goal "A" speaks to maintaining a well -managed and fiscally responsible municipality,
including the reduction of operating costs by setting priorities and focusing on core
services.

Program Roads -- Reconstruction of Vandrof Sideroad from Industrial Parkway South to Bayview

sewers, sidewalks and bikeway, stream construction and rehabilitation, and illumination.
This project was originally scheduled for 2D02, and was deferred by Council to 2005 during the 2002 budget
deliberations as acost-saving measure. It is noted that a further deferral will result in the Class EA that was carried
out in support of this project becoming "stale" and having to be completely redone in the future. It is also noted
that the condition of much of this section of the road has deteriorated to a point where further maintenance
activities cannot keep the road in adequate condition. The valley section west of Benville Crescent was repaved
with a single layer of asphalt in 1997 as a temporary measure that was intended to last only until 2001 when the
road was to be reconstructed. The reconstruction project was later moved to 2002, and then moved again to 2005.

Canada and Ontario Announce Approval of
COMRIF Funding for 120 Projects
The Honourable Joe Comuzzi, the federal Minister responsible for COMRIF, and the Honourable
John Gerretsen, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, announced COMRIF approvals
yesterday at a ceremony in North Bay.
Background:
Intake One of the Canada Ontario Municipal Rural Infrastructure Fund (COMRIF) program was
launched on November 15, 2004, and closed on January 10, 2005. Through Intake One, some
350 applications were received by the COMRIF Joint Secretariat.
The announcement commits approximately $250 million in combined provincial and federal
funding to projects totaling approximately $370 million. Projects include water and wastewater
systems, solid waste management, and roads and bridges.
Details of the announcement including a backgrounder listing all approved projects is available on
the COMRIF website at www.comrif.ca
The announcement also included a commitment to launch COMRIF Intake Two in the coming
weeks. A third intake is expected in Spring 2006. Intake One accounts for approximately 40 per
cent of total COMRIF funding.
While AMO is working in partnership with Canada and Ontario on the development, promotion
and monitoring of the COMRIF program, AMO did not play any role in the assessment of project
applications or the selection of projects for approval.
Action:
AMO will keep members informed of the status on COMRIF Intake Two. AMO continues to
advocate for additional funding to address the significant infrastructure deficit at the municipal
level of government.
This information is available in the Policy Issues section of the AMO website at www.amo.on.ca

Re: Tree Permit -340 Ridge Road
Further to report LS05-022 that was tabled for discussion at the May 3, 2005 General
Committee meeting I provide the following information and clarifications regarding the
intent of the tree permit application and the quantity of trees involved.
As outlined in the report the applicant was required to obtain a minor variance from the
Committee of Adjustment based on the subject lands being situated on the Oak Ridges
Moraine and the applicable legislation controlling development on the moraine.
In addition to the above noted Oak Ridges Moraine related issues, the Committee of
Adjustment imposed conditions requiring the owner of the subject lands to comply with
the Town of Aurora Tree Permit By-law and to enter into a Tree Preservation Agreement
with the Town. I have attached a copy of the draft Tree Preservation Agreement for your
information.
For Councils information, the owner of the subject property has submitted an application
to obtain a permit to.remove trees and paid the applicable fees. Immediately following
Councils approval of the tree permit the owner will be required to execute the permit
application and staff will then issue the permit.
By brief description, the subject lands are located at the extreme west end of Ridge Road,
and are comprised of 1.6 hectares of completely forested lands currently zoned Rural
General.
The owner of the lands intends to remove a total of 120 trees in order to facilitate the
development of residential dwelling, access driveway and septic tile field.
—51—
COUNCIL — MAY 10, 2005
Information provided by the owner's ecological consultant indicates that of the 120 trees
identified for removal, 54 trees meet the size criteria (20 cm or above in diameter) to
warrant protection under By-law 4474-03.D
Staff have been on this site on several occasions and confirm that this information is
accurate.
In addition to the above, staff have also been in contact with Region of York staff to
discuss this matter from a jurisdictional perspective as it relates to the Regional Tree
Cutting By-law and our own Tree Permit By-law. Region staff has confirmed that the
jurisdiction in this particular case lies with the Town of Aurora based on the nature of the
building and development related applications involved.

Dear Mayor & Members of Council
Re: Shoppers Drug Mart Store — 446 Hollandview Trail
May 9, 2005
On behalf of Shopper's Drug Mart, I would like to express my appreciation to the Town of Aurora
Council and staff for their consideration of our request to vary the Town's sign bylaw to allow the four
proposed lifestyle images to be displayed as part of the Bayview Avenue elevation forming part of the
above new store.
We have reviewed Mr. Grellette's report to Council No. BA 05-005 and agree with his comments and
conclusions that to try to define what constitutes lifestyle is an onerous task and that it's meaning could
be highly subjective. Instead, Shoppers Drug Mart agrees that the specific images in question should
be allowed with the specific restriction that requires an application to Council should Shoppers Drug
Mart ever wish to change the images. In addition, we agree that there be "no advertising, lettering,
pricing or products display" as part of the images in question.
Council will note that in my deputation to the Members of General Committee on May 3, 2005, that I
indicated it is not Shoppers Drug Mart's intention to ever use these images for product or corporate
promotions. They are only intended to be a form of message that promotes healthy living.
Therefore Shoppers Drug Mart respectfully requests that Council approve our request for variance with
the conditions (restrictions) addressed in Mr. Greilette's report.
Yours truly,
Chris Stoyanovich
Director of Planning & Development
Shoppers Drug Mart
