2. Motion Tabled by Councillor Collins-Mrakas
Re: Sustainable Landscaping Provisions
Moved by Councillor Collins-Mrakas Seconded by Councillor MacEachern
WHEREAS the Government of Canada, the Province of Ontario, the
Region of York and the Town of Aurora have recognized the vital
importance of water resources to the sustainability and the health and well
being of our communities and have enacted various regulatory
mechanisms expressly protecting and/or conserving water; and
WHEREAS the Region of York, facing serious water constraints, is under
outdoor water use restrictions every year from May through August and, in
Aurora, often outright water bans through much of the summer; and
WHEREAS according to Environment Canada, outdoor water use can
account for more than 50% of residential water use; and
WHEREAS traditional landscaping (lawns; non-native species) is resource
intensive requiring significant amounts of water, pesticides and fertilizers;
and
WHEREAS traditional landscaping requires significant maintenance in the
form of mowing, weeding and pruning at considerable financial and
environmental cost; and
WHEREAS lawnmowers emit substantial quantities of Greenhouse Gases
(GHGs) and it is estimated that they contribute, according to a University
of Toronto report, approximately 3 – 5% of Canada’s TOTAL air pollution;
and
WHEREAS according to a Suzuki Foundation report, one hour of lawn
mowing contributes the same level of emissions as a car emits in a 300 –
600km trip; and
WHEREAS sustainable landscaping and in particular xeriscaping has the
potential to reduce water use by up to 75%, to reduce or eradicate
cosmetic pesticide use and to reduce GHG emissions due to energy
intensive maintenance activities by up to 80%; and
WHEREAS sustainable landscaping, through the re-establishment of
native species, can control invasive species and can increase biodiversity
and hence enhance the integrity of our ecosystem; and
WHEREAS voluntary residential responsible water use and organic
lawncare initiatives such as York Region’s “Water for Tomorrow – Water
Efficient Landscape Visits” have proven effective in improving water
conservation and reducing cosmetic pesticide use in the Region; and
WHEREAS the Town of Aurora firmly supports the need for the use of
sustainable design requirements in the built environment through the
LEEDS certification programme; and
WHEREAS under the amendment to Bill 51, section 41.4.2.d (The
Planning and Conservation Land Statute Law Amendment Act)
municipalities will now be able to control “sustainable design
elements…including without limitation trees, shrubs, hedges, plantings or
other ground cover.”; and
Minutes of Council Meeting No. 08-17 Page 9 of 12
Tuesday, June 10, 2008
WHEREAS as no municipality in the Greater Toronto Area has enacted
regulatory mechanisms requiring sustainable landscaping provisions in
site plan agreements, Aurora has the opportunity to take the lead in
creating the first enforceable “Green” standard in sustainable landscape
design;
BE IT RESOLVED THAT, in order to reduce water use, to conserve and
protect our water resources, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, to
reduce and/or eliminate the need for pesticides, to reduce the need for
landscape maintenance and its associated financial and environmental
costs, to reduce waste going to landfill, the Town of Aurora consider
sustainable landscaping provisions, most notably the use of Xeriscaping
or similar water and energy-efficient landscaping practices, in all future
site plan agreements for industrial, commercial, institutional and mixed
use developments and in future subdivision agreements as they pertain to
the boulevards only; and
THAT the Town consider the implementation of similar sustainable
landscaping requirements on all Town-owned properties, in particular all
Town-owned boulevards; and
THAT York Region be requested to consider instituting a similar policy
requiring the application/implementation of sustainable landscaping
provisions, in particular the use of xeriscaping, on all regionally-owned
properties including boulevards; and
THAT staff be directed to bring forward to Council, at a future General
Committee meeting, a report outlining the method(s) by which sustainable
landscaping requirements can be implemented in and/or incorporated into
the site plan agreement process. Further, that this report should identify
possible solutions for Council’s consideration with recommendations
indicating potential implications, financial or otherwise, of the options
suggested; and
THAT, once the upcoming report has been considered by Council,
this motion be referred to the Environmental Advisory Committee,
the Economic Development Advisory Committee and the Leisure
Services Advisory Committee for review and input.

Mayor Morris requested an explanation regarding residents concerns pertaining
to an issue of water draining for hours onto Moorcrest Drive and other roadways

flushed and the water loss resulting from this exercise is calculated and
accounted for by the Town.
Mayor Morris requested clarification of the wording which has been placed on
garbage cans throughout Aurora pertaining to taking pet waste home, rather than
putting it in the garbage. The Director of Leisure Services advised that Council
approved a staff report that supported the placement of stickers on garbage cans
to inform the public of the proliferation of dog waste in certain areas, the wording
of the stickers was not included in the report. Mayor Morris advised that she
would provide staff with information that she obtained, regarding a company that
provides the service of collecting pet waste, for staff to investigate.
Councillor MacEachern advised that she had reviewed the policy where this
directive originated and advised that her interpretation was that the stickers were
to encourage residents to take recyclables home.
Mayor Morris inquired about the 3 bag limit on garbage bags as members of
Council have received calls from residents advising that the limit was enforced
for the first time last week and bags were left behind without prior warning. The
Director of Public Works advised that there was a miscommunication and the
matter has been resolved. The Director further advised that any calls received
have been handled by Town and Turtle Island staff and the program will continue
as it has been to date.
Councillor Collins-Mrakas requested that the correspondence from Mr. Anthony
Marcil, President and CEO of Forest Stewardship Council of Canada in support

Animals (OSPCA) is not picking up dogs at large as quickly as the previous
provider and requested that staff look into the frequency of patrols.
