Members of Council
The Office of the Fire Marshal (OFM) has conducted a Municipal Fire Protection
Information Survey for your municipality. The survey was developed as a means
to gather information relating to minimum fire prevention and public education
programs being delivered in municipalities under the requirements of the Fire
Protection and Prevention Act, 1997 (FPPA). The power to conduct this review is
found in the FPPA.
9. (1) The Fire Marshal has the power,
(a) to monitor, review and advise municipalities respecting the
provision of fire protection services and to make
recommendations to municipal councils for improving the
efficiency and effectiveness of those services.
The FPPA also sets out the following municipal responsibilities for providing fire
prevention and public education services:
2. (1) Every municipality shall,
(a) establish a program in the municipality which must include
public education with respect to fire safety and certain
components of fire prevention;
Based on our analysis of information gathered to date, your municipality is
currently providing the minimum required services in fire prevention and public
education according to community needs as prescribed in the FPPA. The details
of the OFM findings are contained in the attached survey summary of findings.
Notwithstanding that your fire department is providing the minimum required fire
prevention and public education programs, you will find that the OFM did identify
-1-
COUNCIL MAY 11 2004
opportunities for improvement during the survey process. These opportunities for
improvement are also identified in the attached survey summary of findings.
If you would like to set up a meeting with you and/or your representatives to
discuss the results of the survey for your municipality please let me know and I
would be more than happy meet with you.
Yours sincerely

SUMMARY REPORT of Survey Findings and Identified Needs
Central York Fire Services - Aurora
Completed by: Peter Guiry Date: 04-02-11
Fire ProtZtlan Adviser yy-mm-dd
Preamble
Officially on Jan.1, 2002 the Towns of Aurora and Newmarket amalgamated their fire
departments into what is now known as the Central York Fire Services. The two municipalities
maintain their separate identities but have a Consolidated Fire and Emergency Services
Committee that co-ordinates the fire departments activities and responsibilities and to which th(
fire chief reports. The agreement between municipalities recognizes the Fire Chief of
Newmarket as having the ability to access both councils should the need arise.
There has been a lot of concerted effort by all fire department personnel to ensure a smooth
transition to this consolidated state.
With a strong prevention team in place, public education and inspection programs are being
provided in a more consistent manner in the two municipalities than was previously possible.
With the addition of four platoon chiefs and the hiring fourteen new firefighters in January of
2002, and two new fire inspectors in February of 2002 the service levels for the Central York
Fire Services are expected to exceed those of two stand alone departments.
With regards to the fire prevention and public education requirements of the Fire Protection and
Prevention Act, 1997, the following findings were noted:
A) Simplified Risk Assessment
Prior to Aurora "and Newmarket consolidating their Fire and Emergency Services a Master Fire
Plan was developed as part of the overall amalgamation strategy. Within the plan it was
indicated that certain actions were necessary to achieve success in their overall objectives. One
of the departmental objectives states that the fire department will "Provide levels of service that
adequately meet the community needs." In order to do this the Central York Fire Prevention
Division utilized the OFM Simplified Risk Assessment Public Fire Safety Guideline to conduct an
in-depth risk analysis. Demographics, building stock and municipal fire loss profiles were
extensively researched and from these the local community fire safety concerns were identified.
The information gathered was analyzed and identified in the report separately for both
municipalities and jointly as a comprehensive look at the fire problem for the Central York Fire
Department jurisdiction.
The 'Priority Setting for Compliance' chart from the guideline was completed as part of the
analysis. It highlights the priority status of all concerns as well as the goals and objectives for
those community concerns that may require additional attention from that which is presently
being provided.

COUNCIL MAY 11 2004
Office of the Fire Marshal MUNICIPAL FIRE PROTECTION INFORMATION SURVE
SUMMARY REPORT of Survey Findings and Identified Needs
All fire prevention staff assisted in the completion of the Simplified Risk Analysis. It involved
many hours of research, consultation and revisions to reach a completed product. It will serve
as an excellent tool to help determine the direction of the prevention division over the next few
years and at the same time providing a benchmark for comparisons in the future.
This survey focus can be considered as complete.
B) Smoke Alarm Program and Home Escape Planning
The department has an active smoke alarm distribution and home escape program in place with
an up to date Operational Guideline. There is a tracking system that permits the department to
know how many smoke alarms and batteries have been distributed within the minicipalities.
This survey focus can be considered as complete.
C) Distribution of Public Fire Safety Education Materials:
Public education materials are distributed in a number of different locations and through various
public education programs throughout the two municipalities. Risk Watch, Older and Wiser,
Alarm For Life, Home S.A.F.E. Home and the TAPP-C programs are all in place. Station tours
are available during fire prevention week and upon special request.
In this respect this section can be considered to be in compliance.
D) Fire Safety Inspections:
The Chief indicated that the amalgamation of the two fire departments into one was, to say the
least, a tremendous amount of work. There are now 5 full time fire inspectors and as a result fire
code inspections are conducted more consistently throughout the municipalities than in the past.
Accurate record keeping of all inspections are now maintained in a Weekly Time Use Analysis
report. As well as the weekly tracking system a separate tracking record for complaints and
requests is also maintained.
This section can also.be considered as being compliant.
1.Central York Fire Services actively participates in most OFM as well as other locally
developed fire safety programs. They presently have one certified Public Fire and Life Safety
Educator. The inspection staff conduct routine inspections not only in high -risk establishments
but in other occupancies as well.
2.In January of 2002 Central York Fire Services hired their first group of fourteen new
firefighters and added two new fire prevention inspectors to the team.
3.A Master Fire Plan was completed as part of the consolidated fire service agreement between
Aurora and Newmarket in January 2001. This research document (plan) should provide the fire
department with an appropriate strategic direction to follow for the near future.

Other Opportunities for Improvement
1) Written guidelines help define how departmental operations are to be conducted. They spell
out the expectations required of personnel during emergency response and non -emergency
activities. They provide a mechanism to communicate legal and administrative requirements,
organizational policies, and strategic plans to members.
In order for the fire prevention/public education section to function in a cohesive, consistent and
safe manner additional departmental guidelines/polices should be developed, Following are
examples of some of the policies that may be considered:
FIRE PREVENTION: Inspections, Fire Alarm Verification, Fireworks Inslde/Outside, Code
Enforcement, Fire Safety Plan Review, Fire Investigation and Cause Determination, Record
Keeping etc.
PUBLIC FIRE SAFETY EDUCATION Smoke Alarm Initiatives, Alarm for Life Program,
Station Tours, Risk Watch, TAPP-C, Older, & Wiser, LNTB, Put a Lid on It, Public
Service Announcements (PSAs), Scout/Guide Program, Public Fire Safety Educator Course,
Fire Prevention Officer Certification, etc..
2) Ensure that all appropriate by-laws (in Aurora and Newmarket) are updated to reflect the
newly amalgamated department. i,e, Appointment of Building Inspectors etc.

SUMMARY REPORT of Survey Findings and Identified Needs
3) Attempts should be made to separate out the public education budget form the fire prevention
budget,
4) As the prevention division becomes further established, and standard operating
policies/guidelines are developed and implemented the routine inspection of high priority
properties such as nursing homes, homes for the aged, hotels/motels, hospitals etc. should be
more firmly established and consistently conducted.

AGENDA ITEM #
TOWN OF AURORA
COUNCIL REPORT No. PL04-057
SUBJECT: Official Plan Amendment Application
M! Developments Inc.
Part of Lot 20, Concession Il
File Number D09-01-04
FROM: Sue Seibert, Director of Planning
DATE: May 11, 2004
RECOMMENDATION
THAT By-law 4525-04.D, being a by-law to adopt Official Plan Amendment Number 52
be enacted, subject to Council being satisfied with the applicant's response to their
resolution at the Public Planning Meeting held on April 28, 2004.
BACKGROUND
This application was before Council at the Public Planning Meeting held on April 28, 2004.
The application is for an official plan amendment (OPA) which would delete a portion of the
designated east -west collector road, located south of Wellington Street along the southern
boundary of the "Mixed Use" and "Business Park" designations, and redesignate the lands
to the underlying "Mixed Use" and "Business Park" designations. At the public meeting,
Council directed Staff to bring the draft OPA back once the changes suggested by the
applicant were considered by Staff, and the most appropriate language used in the
amendment. The applicant has suggested the following changes to Section 2.0, Item (2) of
the amendment, with the suggested changes in bold:
The Town recognizes that the deletion of a portion of the designated east -west
collector road, located south of Wellington Street along the southern boundary of
the "Mixed Use" and "Business Park" designations, re -enforces the need for the
implementation of the portion of the collector road system linking Bayview Avenue
to Wellington Street in order to maximize accessibility to the abutting lands to the
west without compromising traffic operations of the intersection. The Town shall
require the collector road to be in place prior to, or at the same time as the
development of the abutting lands to the west.
Council has also imposed a condition of approval that the necessary lands be dedicated as
a public highway and constructed at the time of development approval of the abutting lands
to the west. The timing, design and construction of the collector road should be to the
satisfaction of the Town and Region and, in particular, should align with the local road on
the north side of Wellington Street.

COUNCIL MAY 11 2004
May 11, 2004 - 2 - Report No. PL04-057
Finally, Council also resolved that Staff report back to them on the feasibility of whether an
emergency access to the proposed medical facility could be created as part of the site plan
approval process.
COMMENTS
Staff have reviewed the proposed wording the applicant has requested in the OPA and
have no objections. Accordingly, the OPA has been revised and is attached as Appendix
1. With respect to the emergency access issue, the applicant has provided a letter stating
that it would not be possible to provide the emergency access for the following reasons:
• There is a grade separation of about 4 metres between the stub end of Magna Drive
and the (higher) medical centre parking lot. There is no plan to build a road in this
area and to do so would create environmental problems because the area near the
end of Magna Drive is environmentally sensitive.
The area where any road might emerge onto the parking ramp is too close to the
helipad, which is a licensed aerodrome with approved flight paths. This area is
under heavy security owed to the dangers posed by helicopter traffic and it is not
possible to have public vehicular traffic in this vicinity.
• Magna advises us that both Stronach Blvd. and Magna Drive are private driveways
internal to the Magna head office campus, and it had not been intended to open
these roads to the public. The parking lot itself is intended for use only by patients
and physicians using the facility, and is not a general thoroughfare.
Staff have reviewed the letter and do not have any alternative suggestions for an
emergency access to the proposed medical facility. The site plan for the medical facility
has been attached as Figure 1 for Council's reference and the subject letter is attached as
Appendix 2. Finally, with respect to Council's wish to impose a condition of approval that
the necessary lands be dedicated as a public highway and constructed at the time of
development approval of the abutting lands to the west, the applicant's legal council has
advised that this is inappropriate as there is no Planning Act authority for this type of
"expropriation" or"construction" condition in an OPA. His email to this effect is attached as
Appendix 3. Staff agrees with this position, however would like to advise that if there is a
future application for consent or subdivision, then the condition may be applied at that time.
It should be noted that the revised wording in the OPA will strengthen the Town's ability to
enforce the future road link to Bayview Avenue in order to serve the lands to west and the
north.
OPTIONS
Should Council be satisfied with the applicant's revisions to the draft OPA and their
response to Council's resolution at the public meeting, they have the option of adopting the
OPA. Alternatively, Council also has the option of directing Staff to make further changes
to the draft OPA.

COUNCIL MAY 11 2004
11, 2004 - 3 - Report No. PL04-057
CONCLUSION
The applicant has provided a response to Council's resolution at the Public Planning
Meeting held on April 28,2004. Accordingly, Staff is recommending that the Official Plan
Amendment be adopted if Council is satisfied with their response.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
Not applicable.
LINK TO STRATEGIC PLAN
The Strategic Plan contains objectives to ensure high quality, comprehensive community
planning to protect the overall investment of citizens in the community. Critical review of
the subject application through the OPA process facilitates this objective.
