COMMITTEE REPORTS
~iiilding & Development Committee Repo:tt No. 58.
Reeve Buck presented a report of the Building and Development Committee
in which the Committee respectfully submitted the following:
1. Proposed additiorrto Cobblestone Nursing Home: Mr. Wells, York County's
Assistant Planning Consultant; Mr. Jubb, the Town Building Inspector and Mr.
Starkey the property owner '·rere present for this discussion.
The following facts were ascertained. When the project was first contem~
plated in August 1968, Mr. John Dol of Model Builders, on behalf' of' the
owner, was in communication with the Town Building Inspector. Under the old
land use by-law the area was designated residential. However, various
commercial activities were per;mitted. In Mr. Jubb's opinion, since the
owners of' the nursing home were paying business taxes the requirements
applicable to commercial development should be permitted e.g. no sideyards
nor parking requirements.
Mr. Dole proceeded with the plans accordinglY. Retj_uirements of the
Provincial Health Department pertaining to nursing homes and economic
feasibility were also essential considerations. An application for a permit
was not made at that time because of' difficulties in obtaining mortgage funds.
In December 1968 the Town Council gave three readings to a Zoning ByLaw.
Though this by-law has not yet received O.M.B. approval, for the town's
purposes it is a legally enforceable document.
The new By-Law designates the area in question as multiple family
residential. Certain standards are applicable namely; sideyards, parking
facilities and landscaped area.

Buildinf ~ tievelopment Committee Report No. 58 Cent •a •
. -.,
Intbe earlY part of May an application for a permit was made and Mr. Dol
was'fl,ssured by the Building Inspector that there would.be npdH'ficulty
in o'\ltai)ling the permit. Consequently, having men and materials available,
the owner having made commitments to receive new patients bY a certain
date. and foreseeing no obstacles, preliminary work was uildejZtll.ken. One
thousand dollars worth of blue spruce trees were removed and excavation work
was completed.
At thi§ point it should be made clear to Council that according to Mr~ Jubb,
the Buiiain:g Permit Committee of the 1968 Council had been made aware of the
pro];!oshl. and had expressed no objection to the plans.
However the preselit Committee's experience
the passing of the Z.onipg By -Law, vie have
document. ·>
':
with this
taken our
department dates since
reference from this
Having drawn Council's attention to the application and it's variance to the
By-Law we were directed to withhold permission until the matter was thoroughly
studied. A stop work order ;<'as. issued.
The excavati()nS M.Ji.ngbeen compietedahd in the interests of preventing
possibl~ ca~e~in ~d a6ciident, the builder Undertook to pour foundations and
complete the. work to ground level at his. oWn risk. It has been pointed out
by Mr. Dol that this was done riot in defiance of Council's authority, but
solely with regard to the hazatds involved.
Subsequent discussions with the planner knd his representative have shown that
proper procedure for the owner would have been to make an application . :for
·an amendment to the By-Law to permit extended nori~conformihg use. Had this
been done the applicant would have been made aware in good time of the various
requirements, namely; sideyard clearance, adequate parking facilities,
landscaped areas and lot coverage of not more than 33-1/3.
Sideyards recommended by the consu1tant are four·feet. Parking spacesl one
for every five beds and landscaped areas are considered essential for patient's
use.
Though the plan allows 2-1/2 feet for sideyard, the consu1tant does not
consider this a serious difficu1ty under the particu1ar circumstances.
Sufficient parking spaces cou1d be provided with the removal of an existing
frame garage on the property and elimination of the landscaped areas.
The latter is not recommended by the planner. The alternative is to require
the owner to provide off-site parking or for the town to permit off--street
parking.
The owner points out that coping with an army of visitors is not one of their
problems, in fact, the opposite is the case. In his experience it is also
a problem to persuade the residents of the home to avail themselves of the
opportunity to enjoy the sunshine and fresh air.
If Council shou1d decide 'to tll.ke these factors into consideration an
application can be made to the O.M.B. for an exceptions claQse under By-Law
1822 on lot coverage.
Rl!lGuLAR MEETING "8 JUNE 2, 1969.
· B\.d1ding & Development CO!!llllittee Report No. 58 Cont. 1 d
However, if this course of a~tion is undertaken future difficulties in
enforcing the Zoning By-Law by reason of having set a precedent dould be
the result;
In fairness to the owner it must be emphasized that the plans were m~de on
the understanding that the1 confOrmed.with the Town's requirements. If
.permission to proceed. is withheld considerable hard.ship to the owner would
be the result. ·
In the opinion of tile-Committee the probiem could properly be described as
one of the birth pangs. of a community like AurOr(l. acquiring a Zoning By Lmr
and attempting to apply good planning principles in the old established
areas.
The ited.sloito' be made is not a simple one. It is for the purpose of
enali:line! CoUncil to consider all the_ facts' that this detailed report has been
submi tt.ed, .

The application pertai0 ed to an Industrial Buildi~g with art apartment or

heavy. constrtict:l.bn equipment. The o~mer has sold his present acc()$1Ubdation
and is arlxious tb remain iri Aurora. .
In the opinion of the Committee it is ilndesirable tb lncotPorate residential
with industrial use and this proposal does not conform to the Town's
zoning by-law. It is therefore recommended that the permit shoulci not be
granted.
3. Application for permit to build an addition was received from Aurora
Tank and Welding
The plans do not conform to the By-Law requirements for a 10 ft. sideyard.
The applicant proposes 3 feet only. The Committee recommends that the By-
Law be adhered to and permission be refused.
4. Application for permit to build a Coin-operated Car Wash on Lot 15 of
Industry_ Street __ _ _ _ ____________ _
This proposal is for commercial type use. This land is zoned ·'Industrial".
Under By-Law 1822, car wash establist::ents are allowed to locate in
industrial areas under the classification of "Industrial Service Uses".
The Committee recognizes that this operation could be located within this
area and comply with the wording of the By-Law, but are concerned about
the number of commercial sites locating in this Industrial area.
5. Form T being a questionnaire to be completed and returned to the
Department of Municipal Affairs pertaining to the plan of subdivision, o;mer
