He said that in the area Where the watercourse ·iS enclosed there were complaints about children plating on the easement, and we should investigate the possibility of making the easement a park. Councillor Williamson said that Councillors are not professional men, and if previous attempts have failed the engineers are to blame. Councillor Illingworth said the fact that previous attempts have failed indicates the necessity for doing the whole job. Any emergency repairs should be completed and an engineering study prepared to attack the whole problem. TRENT: "Resolved that the question be referred to the ILLINGVJORTH: Engineer for study and report." CARRIED.

Th~re are many reasons from an educational viewpoint why the Church St. schoQl is unsatisfactory~· It is unsafe as indicated by the Fire Marshall 1 s report. The~e are no playground facilities, and lunchroom facilities are limited,. The cost of transportation would be high. The delegation asks Council to weigh these facts. The delegation is concerned about the delay, Renovation is long and time consuming. Delay may force the Board to an unwise decision which will result in poor educational facilities for some of ·--··the children. Mayor Davis said that he would set a night for a meeting, COMMITTEE .REPORTS - Reeve Patricl{ reported verbally that Toronto and York Roads Commission are willing to discuss the problem of cross-wf',lks on ¥/ellington Street. He suggested that the Chairman of the Works Committee and the Engineer meet with Mr. Rettie, Councillor Illingworth asked if th,e purpose of the meeting was just to to discuss the painting of the cross-walks, or are they going to decide whether cross-walks should be allowed. If the latter, he felt it was a matter for the Police Committee. Mayor Davis said he felt that the County just wants conformity in cross- walks. Councillor Illingworth said that cross-walk conditions are set out by the Department of Transport and the County cannot change them. If County feel that they have the right to dictate where cross-walks may be placed he would like to challenge them in the courts. This is a legal matter. The By-Law has been approved by the Department of Transport. The two places involved are school-crossings, and the crossing guards will not be there in two weeks. VJe do not want the unfortunate accident which occurred in a neighbouring town. This is a town road within the confines of the Town, and he did not feel Council should be dictated to by County.

Reference is made to minutes of Council dated April 18th, 1966 in which a report was submitted regarding the Central Ontario Regional Development Association, and in which the following resolution was passed: "Resolved that the Town of Aurora take no action at this time to join the Central Ontario Regional Development Association." Based on the comments of Hon, George Hees, in Lindsay, May 13, 1966 on the subject 11 1Promating Industry for the Smaller Municipality," and from comments from other sources, it is evident that industry wanting to locate in Ontario or change location within Ontario, contact the Department of Economics and Developinent and this information is continued through the Regional Development Association. In addition, regional government and regional development while only words to-day, will be facts to-morrow. We cannot slow or stop progress and it may be better to have a voice in the formation of the new concept, before they are formed, rather then afterwards when it is too late~ ~·~.--·.·.·.-.--,="~"" _-_,-_,.,.,.,"'= o··="=·=-. ·- 12TH REGULAR -12-JUNE 20th, 1966.

Councillor Illingworth presep.ted a brief regarding official plan Members of Council have received a smmnary of the remarks rJade by i't1r._ C.E. Onley, Q.C. at Lind$ay on May 14th, 1966 under the heading "The Official Plan and the TJ;lunicip 8 1 Official," Mr ~ Onley stated that ·the Planning [;,rea should include abutting rural are.a$ that are likely to be developed within the next 10 to 20 years, and if this takes in more than one municipality, a joint planning area is required. There is no doubt that in the next 10-20 years the area around Jl;urora i's goirig to develope, regardless of whether it is annexed or not. . If it is to be developed with consideration for all aspects of the land use, and the people concerned~ good planning must start now. The Peterboro and Suburban I>lanning Board is in the process of pr:aparing a long range plan for orderly developme11t, which will contain urban expansion, attract commercial e,nd industrial development and. relieve tax pressures on farmers in this area. It is noted that when Ford of Canada decided to build a new plant in Southwold Township. Elgin County Council set up a fact finding committee to examine 'j:.I:J.e need for county~wide planning. Because of the wide differences ita population density, land uses etc, between the northern eight and the southern six of York County, I do not feel that County planning per se, would be a good thing for this County, but I do feel that a.larger area for planning is a necessity and should be given earnest consideration. The relationship of one municipality to another an.d co-operation between and among municipalities is neC'Eissary for effective planning. It should be realized, however, · that :regardless of the Planning Boards jurisdiction, it is an advisory board only. There is no legislation in Ontario that rer.1.oves the decision for planning and zoning matters from the local Council. ..... -............ ~ ....... ~. -·--~~ .. ·~ .... ~~~=~~=~~ -.... ·-- c.~--~ ~-~· 12TH REGULAR -lS...

I>J.lembers of Council have reviewed copies of York County Planning Report: "Regional Government" as it affects York County" in which the County supports the reconmendations of the Select Committee as outlined above, While there is no doubt in my mind that a larger planning area for Aurora ia a necessity, I &~ not sure that County planning is the answer, and that some i<;mJediate steps is required. I believe that this Council should consider the following and provide direction in the course to be followed: (a) Remain as is Aurora Planning Board (b) Consideration of a joint planning area taking in those portions of King & i7hitchurch that would possibly affect Aurora in the next 10-20 years period.
