-7-DECEMBER 4, 1967
u. • A memorandtm from J. D. Re1d
Subject: South Shopping Plaza, Theatre Access.
Mr. Merkur, the Owner ·of the above noted Plaza has
requested access through the Billings Well property to
accommodate rear service to a proposed theatre. The
following comments are made with a view to assisting
the Planning Committee in forming a decision on this
matter.
1. The Billings Well property (66 feet by 165 feet)
is in need of upgrading for appearances sake at
least.
2. A 25 foot easement consisting of the most northerly
25 feet parallel to the north property line would
satisfy Mr. Merkur's requirements.
3. To construct the roadway including pavement and fill
complete with sodding and a 30 inch diameter storm
sewer to enclose the drainage course here would cost
approximately $12,000. 00.
4. The above construction and vehicular access will not
affect the continued use of the wells.
5. To grant a 25 foot easement <rould affect the value
of the property should the ~<ells be abandoned and
this property become saleable.
Recommendations:
That the easement be .o:ranted sub,ject to improvements
and road construction in the amount of :li12,000.00 all to
Town standards. This easement be contingent upon the
construction of a theatre as decribed by Mr. 11erkur.

A memorandum from J. D. Reid
Subject: \vaterworl's By-law lfl 759
DECEMBER 4, 1967
Clause 3 of the above noted By-Law deals with the
replacement of water and se1<er connections. It is our
understanding that any repairs or maintenance of existing
sewer and vrater connections to the property line are
the responsibility of the Municipality and other than
flagrant mis-use there is no charge to the property
o;mer for normal maintenance. It would follo;r then if
replacement of a sanitary or 1mter service connection
1-1as necessary that there vrould be no charge to the
property 01mer pro.;i.ding it 1<as not an enlargement of
an existing water or sewer connection. Any application
for an increase in size would be interpreted as a new
servic·2.
A particular condition that does arise occasionally
on water services is 1·rhere a property mmer is experiencing
low pressure due to a galvanized service and we 1-rould
recommend replacement of the existing galvanized service
at no charge providing the property owner undertakes to
replace any galvanized pipe on his property that 1muld. be
contributing to the low pressure.
Generally we feel that Clr.use 3 should be deleted
from the By-la;r and that the work superintendent should
be instructed to conform with a policy consistent ,,rith
the above.

General Servicing Requirements
We have examined the proposed servicing plans for the
above noted project with a vim< to co-relating the future
servicing of north Yonge Street ;rith the proposed plan in
in order to avoid duplicating services for the north area
as a whole.

p1mping station located at the sewage treatment plant.
This venture in our opinion could be undertaken with the
follm-ring conditions applied for future: servicing of the
north area of Yonge Street.
(a) A pumping station would be required near the
intersection of Orchard Bbrd. and Yonge St.
(b) A gravity se,.rer includine connections on Yonge St.
north and south of th2 pumping station.
(c) A force main from the pumping station along
Orchard Blvd. discharging into the proposed gravity
sewElr here.
He do not wish to convey thflt this scheme is the best
arrangement for servicing the north Yonge St. properties
but it is a reasonable solution considering the urgency
for approvals of this shopping centre. Likely the sizes
of the gavi ty sewer shmm will have to be increased to
accomodate the extra area to be serviced.
May 1re suggest approval sub,i ect to final plans being
prepared for the 1;hole of the area. It would appear that
the best method of underta_king the 1mrk on Yonge St. would
be in con,juction with the connecting link road improvements.
WATER SERVICES:
An 8" ;ratermain should be constructed from Yonf'e St. along
Orchard Blvd. to the rear limit of the shopping centre
area. The water ;rould be metered at one point with rates
established to include fire protection services.
STORM SEHERS :
The Storm Sewers sho1m on the plans are adequate.
VEHICULAR ACCESS:
The .Plaza parldnp; area would be serviceS. with an access
from Orchard Blvd. road allowance plus one additional
access off Yonge St.
ROADS:
Complete development of Orchards Blvd. abutting the property.
The 1vork would inclucle curb, gutter, side;-ralk, asphalt

Hr. Mario Priola su.bmi tted_ a plan to Cou.11cil on

units and. 102 Tmm House Units on land. located
on the South Side of Wellim;ton St. 1,/est lying westerly
of the present Senior Public School site.
This proposal 1vas submitted by Council to the Aurora
Planning Board on September 5, 19f7 for their advice
concerning this type of Development. Plannino-Board
dulv reported back to Council a.s follows in part:

2. The experience of other munici~alities indicate that
apartments present no ail.d.itional tax burden on the
r-atepayers; Town Houses appear not so favourable.
3. Assessment increases must be gained to meet the ever
gro1-ring expenditure demands of each year; Industrial
Development if it is to be gained must have access to
housing facilities for its employees and to a minor
extent the same applies to Com1~ercial entities.
4. Our changing living conditions advocate the neec1 of a
varied type of accomodation be constructed as o~posed
to only single family type d<relling. There is no
doubt that a regional type of local Government contem-
plated. for the future i?:i.ll e.ffect our Planning;
Ho1;ever we must content ourselves <rith a conscientious
and earnest endeavour to ensure complete stability
under our existing framework of operation.
5. The actural agreement authorizing the enactment of any
such proposal is of the utmost importance. Co.snizance
must be taken of nu_merous items such as -PlanninR:,
Engineering Education and. Financial Arrangements.
RECOW1ENDATIONS: l. Council concurs in principle
i·rith the said proposed construction as submitted by Mr.
Mario Priola provided the pro,ject be undertaken in hro
phases viz:
FIRST PHASE -The construction of anartments only and upon
their completion consideration 1wuld be allo,,red.
SECOND PHASE -The construction of town houses and pr

(b) That the flood claim of $333.00 be approved for payment.
2. The matter of engaging a firm of Hunicipal Insurance

'based on existine; amounts and coverage. The cost of
this survey to be included in the budget estimates
for 1968.
3. Collection of Garbage disposal charges added to the
1968 taxes. Your Committee reviewed this matter and
recommend. the present system of billing remain unchanged
due to the fact that:
Should garbage collection charges be added to taxes:
1. There would be no reduction in the monthly water &
garbage billing charge of .40 cents.
2. Tax bills may only be for•.re.rded to mmers and therefore
tenants. who now receive a bill, would not be taxed.
3. Estimating next year's population at 11 .,000 x $4.05
per person p;arbage collection ratG equals $44,550.00
to be raised by taxes. This would increase the Mill
Rate some 2 3/l~ mills on actual tax))ayers onlv.
