In 1974 The Town of Aurora owned property that backed onto individual properties along Old Bloomington, Bluegrass Drive and Steeplechase Ave. In 1998 The Town of Aurora sold the said property to the home owners in our neighbourhood. At the time of sale the Town of Aurora registered a Grant Of Easement for the reason that the parcel of land Would from time to time allow Public Works access as this land is deemed to be a flood plain. Since 1998 many homes in our neighbourhood have been sold with The Registered Grant Of Easement on thew properly titles without incident , until 2006 when the properties at Number 4 and 6 Bluegrass Drive were sold. In the spring of 2007 both properties put up fences around the property lines that many Neighbourhood properties share. In The Grant of Easement it clearly states that they must require in writing permission from The Town of Aurora in advance to install fences , Buildings, structures or other obstructions. The new owners DID NOT obtain permission in writing from The Town as per the Easement Registered on OUR PROPERTY TITLES. In June of 2007 it was brought to the attention of The Town , that fences were being Installed without written permission at 4 and 6 Blue Drive which clearly breached The Registered Easement. For the past nine years all of the property owners have been compliant with The Registered Easement and all of our neighbours have enjoyed the park like setting, as well as the local wildlife. Are you in agreement that The Easement should stay intact and that The Town of Aurora Should order the removal of the fences that were erected without prior written permission And without co of informing the other properties involved Ca zo�.YtJ �R.° 81Q 2J !t}U2oaCq ONT. m 1-0 -panlonul sopmdoxd xagpo agt Suruuo3m3o Ssalm.00 aql lnoglTM puy uotssluuad mnpm xopd wopm palaaxa axam;mR saaua3 agy;o lenouuu aqy xapm pTnogs uxomy;o umoy aqy mT pue laetrg Sets Plnogs luamaseg aqy imp luamaaxSe ui noS axy 'a3TlPllm TuaoT agl su am se `Sulllas aXg xlmd o T Wo[ua aneq smoggSleu mo;o au pue luatuase3 paimsTHad aqy ipm luslldmoo uaaq aeuq smumo Slxadoxd mp;o no s A auto teed aq; xo3 7uomoseg p3rrl0190H aqy pagoeaiq STxuaTo galgm anuQ anTH 9 Pus b is uolaslunad uagT m Tnogtgx. palinsal Sulaq axam smug; tugl ` umoy aqy;o noTivalle aq; of lg8noxq seM u LOOZ30 aunt uI 'S9:= CxHaw2Id imo uo Pomsisay luaamna agl xad so umoy aqy la04 Sm7pM ul volssrEmd ululgo yol l (IIQ sxaamo mou aqy 'mcgmxlsgo xagto xo samlanxls `seulplmg ` saaua3 Tlutsal of oouenpe ul uxamy;o umoy aqy mog uorss[uuad 3utpm m axmbax Imm Sagl lugl satins Slmalo it luamasR JO I=J aqy uI •axugs sagxedoxd poogmogq2iofq Suem lugt saull Slxadoxd a p punom sa=g do tnd saTpodoxd gloq LOOZ do Suuds aql uI 'plus amm anuQ ssexSanTg 9 Pur b xa4=N le sallmdoxd a p uogm 900Z Tpun ` luoplom lnogt m sopp lixadoxd Hoyt uo luaumse33o luexo pajowdag aqy gtTm Pros uaaq aeeq poogmogqffpa mo ul saruoq Suem 8661 aourS .Upld pooh u aq ul paureap sl puul srcp se ssaooe sa[xoM a!10.nd moll¢ amtl of autll auul pinoM pw13o loaxed ac0legt uomax agl xo3luouaseg;o lusuD a pomwlSax womy;o umo,L agl opes;o amp a p ly 'poogmogxpm mo ur sxaumo amoq mp of S}radoxd pies aql plus emmy;o umoy agy S661 nI 'any 0segoaldaal9 Pus anuQ ssex8anlg `uaO=oolH plo Scope sot adoxd lunpuypm otuo pa Inq legl Spadoxd paumo saomy3o umoy aqy VL61 al •Stxadoxd moS anlonul Sem legl3o amms noS oVm of axllT PTnom I Teal padolmap seq onssl uv 6mo4g2lax.mQ LOOZ `b H9W31d3S — 33111WW00 IV83N30 GENERAL COMMITTEE — SEPTEMBER 4, 2007 Dear Neighbour, An issue has developed that I would like to make you aware of that may involve your property.

Since it was designated as flood plain, it was never developed or privately owned until recently. In 2006 the Town of Aurora allowed a tile bed at 4 Bluegrass Ct (currently 3'4 above the flood plain level) and fences at number 4 and number 5 Bluegrass Ct. to be built on this land. This was a mistake. When the land was divided up and sold to the homes adlecent to this area, agreements were made with easements to never allow structures including fences to be built here. Now new homeowners at #4 and #6 Bluegrass Ct. have ignored this agreement and begun to develop this land and fence it off without any notification to the property owners on the other side of the fences. If this were to continue, this area would eventually be all fenced and closed off leaving an unsightly mishmash of fences in the middle of field and forest. This area was important enough to restrict development in 1999 and now 8 years later the town says it is ok to develop. What has changed since then? Our neighbourhood is unique in that with each property being 2-4 acres backing onto each other, we can and should maintain a natural setting with the vested interest to stay in touch with nature, and not interfere with the natural wildlife that has been here all along. We have wild turkeys, coyotes, deer, rabbits and foxes that move freely through this area and use it to connect with the other preserved marshes and woodland around Aurora. It is important to note that this up -to -now undisturbed natural habitat is part of the Oak Ridges Moraine. I therefore request that when this issue is presented at the Town Meeting on August 14th that you please vote to preserve this area from development. At least don't allow fencing to section it off eventually destroying this important wildlife refuge and parkland/ forourneighbourhood. ,,,,',, Yours truly, �� J V ore —7 Dr. Graham Allen 50 Steeplechase Ave. Ay /rye IO%4,r C }nc, 7/25/2007 WQ 7og *p U yanlow sauiadud mpo a p 9upwo;u!

In 1974 The Town of Aurora owned property that backed onto individual properties along Old Bloomington, Bluegrass Drive and Steeplechase Ave. In 1998 The Town of Aurora sold the said property to the home owners in our neighbourhood. At the time of sale the Town of Aurora registered a Grant Of Easement for the reason that the parcel of land Would from time to time allow Public Works access as this land is deemed to be a flood plain. Since 1998 many homes in our neighbourhood have been sold with The Registered Gram Of Easement on their property titles without incident , until 2006 when the properties at Number 4 and 6 Bluegrass Drive were sold. In the spring of 2007 both properties put up fences around the property lines that many Neighbourhood properties share. In The Grant of Easement it clearly states that they most require in writing permission from The Town of Aurora in advance to install fences, Buildings, structures or other obstructions.

BACKGROUND On October 18, 2005, Council considered Report PW05-027 entitled "Stormwater Management Remedial Strategy — Award of Contract for Professional Services" and resolved: "That Council authorize the Director of Public Works to execute an Engineering Agreement between the Town of Aurora and XCG Consultants Ltd. to complete a Stormawater Management Remedial Strategy for the Town of Aurora at a price of $86,466.00 exclusive of G.S.T." The overall goal of the Stormwater Management Remedial Strategy Study (Study) was to develop a stormwater remediation plan that will result in improved stormwater runoff quantity from the Aurora area. As a conclusion of the Study, a long term stormwater management remedial strategy was developed that will reduce pollutant loadings into area receiving waters, which ultimately flow into Lake Simcoe. Very few other municipalities have undertaken studies such as this one, whereby all uncontrolled outfalls in the municipality have been examined to determine if SWM controls can be implemented at them. -29- GENERAL COMMITTEE - SEPTEMBER 4, 2007 SEPTEMBER 4, 2007 - 2 - Report No. PW07-026 The intent of this Report is to present the results of the Study and to seek Council's approval to proceed with the next steps in the implementation of the recommendations of the Study. COMMENTS The project has been completed in two stages, as outlined in the Executive Summary of the Study (attached as Appendix "B"): a) Stage 1 assessed all 14 existing and assumed wet/quality stormwater management facilities, developed an estimate of sediment volumes in these facilities and analyzed sediment samples in order to determine suitable disposal options. b) Stage 2 surveyed the 16 existing dry/quantity facilities, assessed existing storm outfalls and developed an overall stormwater remedial strategy to address stormwater runoff quality from existing developed areas. It is noted that two of these dry facilities are proposed to be retrofitted into wet/quality facilities in 2008. Appendix "A" contains a map showing the locations of the 32 facilities. 1. Stage 1 Report Sediment volume in all wet ponds was measured and chemically analyzed for disposal purposes. Key findings of this assessment are as follows: a) Sediment Depth and Cleanout From the total of 14 wet facilities investigated there are 4 stormwater management facilities (C2, SC2, NC8 and NW6) which will require sediment dredging (see Appendix "A" for the location of these 4 ponds). Sediment removal is recommended immediately for ponds C2 and SC2 together with deepening or widening of these facilities in order to increase the permanent pool to achieve enhanced suspended sediments control and removal efficiency. Sediment removal is recommended for facilities NC8 (in 5 years) and NW6 (in 11 years) if sediment continues to accumulate at the current rate in both facilities. b) Sediment Quality Chemical analysis of sediment samples collected from all stormwater management wet facilities investigated were analyzed for specific parameters in orderto evaluate disposal options after sediment is removed. —30— GENERAL COMMITTEE - SEPTEMBER 4, 2007 SEPTEMBER 4, 2007 .3. Report No. PW07-026 Samples were analyzed for: • Metals; • benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylenes (BTEX); • petroleum hydrocarbons (PHC Fractions F1 to F4); • leachate test for inorganic parameters, benzo(a)pyrene, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and polychlorinated byphenyls (PCBs). Sediment quality results were compared to Ontario Regulation 153/04 Clean -Up Standards. The analytical data were compared to the Standards for both residential/parkland/institutional land use and industrial/commercial/community land use since the final destination of the material is currently unknown. All test results were below the applicable standards, so there are therefore no limitations on disposal options for the sediment. 2. Stage 2 Report In this stage, a survey of the existing dry ponds has been completed along with an assessment of all of the remaining, and uncontrolled, existing outfalls. The Study concluded with the Stormwater Management Remedial Plan in order to address uncontrolled areas of the Town. It is recommended that the Town undertake additional maintenance activities to repair damaged outfalls. Also, the Town should consider a program of dry weather discharge sampling in order to identify the presence of any contamination. 3. Stormwater Management Remedial Plan As a conclusion of the Study, a Stormwater Management Remedial Plan was developed to address the issue of stormwater quality control in older areas of the Town which currently are not served by modern SWM facilities. The recommended plan includes source controls, conveyance controls and end -of -pipes controls. 3.1 Source Controls Recommended Source controls include: rain barrels collect roof drainage and allow residents to draw rain water for lawn watering. A total of two rain barrels could be provided to each home. Rain barrels would reduce the quantity of runoff and pollutant loadings but may not have a significant effect on pollutant concentrations in receiving waters since uncontrolled discharges from road and paved areas will still contribute significantly to pollutant loadings. The Study assumed that a rain barrel program would result in 15% of homes with rain barrels. The total cost for implementation of a rain barrel program in approximately 710 homes within the Town is estimated at $203,000. —31— GENERAL COMMITTEE — SEPTEMBER 4, 2007 SEPTEMBER 4, 2007 -4. Report No. PW07-026 soakaway pits could be considered in areas with suitable soils and allow roof runoff to infiltrate into the ground. Like rain barrels, they can reduce the quantity of runoff and pollutant loadings but may not have a significant impact on in - stream water quality since they cannot control paved and road areas. The implementation of soakaway pits in Aurora would be limited to those areas with highly permeable soils such as residential areas within the Town that are located within the Oak Ridges Moraine. It was assumed that 15% of homes would install soakaway pits with a total cost estimated at $540,000. The total cost for source controls is estimated at $744,000 for a 20-year Implementation timeframe. 3.2 Conveyance Controls Recommended conveyance controls consist of: improved maintenance activities such as higher frequency of street sweeping, catchbasin cleaning, sewer flushing, and water quality catchbasin inserts that are usually suitable for small tributary areas. Staff will consider these recommendations and report further as necessary during the 2008 Budget process. 3.3 End of Pipe Controls Recommended end of pipe controls consist of: SWM Facility Retrofits Following recommendations in the original 2001 SWM Facility Maintenance and Remediation Study, the Town undertook a program to retrofit or rebuild five dry/quantity facilities into wet/quality facilities that meet current standards. One facility was rebuilt in 2004, two in 2006, and the last two are planned to be rebuilt in 2008. The Class Environmental Assessment and design work for those facilities, being Nos. SW2/3 and C1, are almost completed and the construction projects will be presented to Council for consideration as part of the 2008 Capital Budget. As part of the current Study, the consultant re-examined the remaining dry/quantity facilities to identify any other potential candidates for retrofitting, given changes in technology and standards since the first review in 2001. No other retrofit candidates were identified. —32— GENERAL COMMITTEE - SEPTEMBER 4, 2007 SEPTEMBER 4, 2007 .5- Report No. PW07-026 wet quality ponds should be considered fordrainage areas largerthan 5 ha. For each area without a stormwater management quality facility, the volume and surface area of a wet pond were determined based on the MOE Standards and the possibility of a pond location was examined. The Study proposes 22 new wet/quality facility locations within the Town. The following issues have to be considered when implementing any of these new stormwater management facilities: 1. many of the proposed facilities would be located within the LSRCA regulation fill line, where SWM facilities are generally not located; 2. some of these facilities have been proposed on open lands that are not currently owned by the Town of Aurora, including golf course lands; 3. facilities proposed on Town's lands consider existing open lands including recreational areas and parks. This is consistent with the direction given to the consultant during preparation of the Study. The consultant was given instruction to identify all possible candidate sites which would be considered further at a later date to identify whether the constraints on the sites would allow for a facility to be built there. For the completion of any new stormwater management wet facility, the Town will need to complete a Schedule B Class Environmental Assessment. For areas greater than 5 ha where wet ponds cannot be built, underground storage could be considered as an alternative, although this would be comparatively very expensive. oil/grit separators should be considered for small areas of less than 5 ha or areas with no opportunities for a wet pond. It is estimated that 65 uncontrolled drainage areas could be controlled by oil/grit separators. The total number of units to be installed would be established during the implementation phase. 4. Implementation Schedule and Costs The proposed Implementation Schedule with related costs is presented in Table No. 1. —33— GENERAL COMMITTEE - SEPTEMBER 4, 2007 SEPTEMBER 4, 2007 - 6 - Report No. PW07-026 Table No. 1: Implementation Schedule Timeframe ,`` .Source Controls, _ Wet t'onds ` "Oil/Grit`se arators .; 0-5 Implement rain barrels Construct 10 wet ponds None years and soakaway pits in to control discharges from 25% of Town. 273 ha.

Projects were identified within the 0-5 years, 5-10 years, 10-15 years and 15-20 years timeframes using the following assumptions: • Source controls (rain barrel and soakaway pit program) would be implemented over the entire 20-year. plan period with evenly distributed funding. Wet ponds would be implemented as a first priority, prior to the implementation of oil/grit separators, as wet ponds will be more effective in improving water quality. The implementation of wet ponds was prioritized based on contributing areas, meaning that the largest ponds will be constructed first. These larger facilities will have the greatest impact on downstream water quality. The smaller facilities will be constructed last. As implementation proceeds, the Town can re-evaluate the need for the construction of the smaller facilities. • Following the completion of wet ponds, oil/grit separators would be implemented. Oil/grit separators were prioritized based on contributing area. • This implementation will also allow the Town the flexibility to continue to investigate new technologies for small drainage areas. -34- GENERAL COMMITTEE — SEPTEMBER 4, 2007 SEPTEMBER 4, 2007 - 7 - Report No. PW07-026 5. Implementation Policies A policy that the Town can put into place to assist in the implementation of this plan is a cash-in-lieu-of-stormwater policy for Site Plans and in -fill developments. 5.1 Cash -in -Lieu Policy Current Town policy for site plans is that every development must implement its own SWM quantity/quality controls. This has resulted, in particular, in many small developments installing small oil/grit separators on their properties for quality control. There are two issues related to this: (i) Maintenance of these devices may, or may not, be completed as needed to keep them operating efficiently as the Town has no authority to require them to be maintained; and (ii) Implementing one larger SWM control facility for an area is more efficient in terms of environmental protection than implementing a number of smaller facilities covering smaller parts of that same area (i.e. bigger is better). Because of these two factors, it is recommended that the Town implement a policy that would allow developers to contribute financially towards the construction of centralized stormwater management facilities or oil/grit separators instead of implementing on -site stormwater management facilities. The policy would consist of a financial contribution formula based on local conditions and the type of project anticipated. Many other municipalities have adopted cash -in - lieu policies for stormwater management projects for Site Plan and other in -fill developments (e.g. Town of Markham, City of Kitchener, etc.). OPTIONS Council may decide to approve in principle the "Stormwater Management Remedial Strategy Study" and take into account for 2008 Budget consideration the Implementation Plan and Schedule. 2. Council may decide not to approve the Study containing its recommendations and implementation program. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS The Stormwater Management Remedial Strategy Study recommends an implementation plan for stormwater source and end -of -pipe controls along with an implementation schedule with a timeframe of 20 years. —35— GENERAL COMMITTEE — SEPTEMBER 4, 2007 SEPTEMBER 4, 2007 - 8 - Report No. PW07-026 A rain barrel and soakaway pit program is recommended for the Town with a total cost of $744,000.00 for 20 years. A total of 22 wet ponds are recommended at various locations within the Town for a total cost of $7.9 million for 20 years. A total of 65 drainage areas are recommended to be controlled by oil/grit separators or underground storage facilities for a total cost of $16.6 million for 20 years. Funding for the implementation of the Study would come from a variety of sources. These would include Storm rate funding, funding from developers should a cash -in -lieu policy be implemented for Site Plans and in -fill developments, and funding from the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority, as noted below. Other sources would also be explored which might provide grants for projects that improve water quality in particular, and the environment in general. The LSRCA has indicated that they will continue to provide financial support, through the "Lake Simcoe Water Quality Improvement Program", for all stormwater management projects that contribute to the reduction of phosphorus loading throughout Lake Simcoe Watershed. CONCLUSIONS The Stormwater Management Remedial Strategy Study has been completed with key recommendations and an Implementation Schedule. This Study is considered to be "state-of-the-art", as few other municipalities have undertaken a Study with a similar broad scope. Implementing SWM quality controls at outfalls in the Town which currently are uncontrolled will improve water quality in the receiving waters (East Holland River) and ultimately in Lake Simcoe. It is recommended that implementation, and funding for the implementation, of the Study be referred to the 2008 Budget process for consideration.
