MAYOR'S REPORT NO.~
Mayor Illingworth presented Report No. 54 in which he respectfully submitted the
following:
The South Lake Simcoe Conservation Authority held a meeting in Newmarket on
Thursday, April 29, 1971 for the presentation of the James F. MacLaren Floodline
Mapping Report.
The meeting was attended by members of the Authority, the Department of Energy
and Resources Management, the Region of York, Ne~~arket, East Gwillimbury and
others. Aurora was represented by Mayor R. Illingworth, Councillor W. Trent,
Clerk K. B. Rodger and Building Inspector A. E. Jubb.
Mr. Sexsmith of James F. MacLaren, presented a report and defined the meaning of
a project storm and a maximum probable storm.
lOTHo REGULAR MEETING -11-MAY 17, 197L
MAYOR 1 S REPORT NOo 54 CONT•d
As this area was located on the periphery of Hurricane Hazel, a storm of the same
intensity was transposed to the area as the project storm" A maximum probable
storm will have a greater intensity than a project storm" The dump and fill
line will be outside the limits of the flood plain so that the flood plain will
not be further restricted in any wayo
Any changes that are brought about by creek bank stabilization, larger culverts
or bridges, etco, will have an effect on the flood plain and it is necessary to
update the map from time to timeo
It is understood that the Department of Energy and Resources Management have
accepted this concept of designating a project storm and use the floodline
mapping in preparing their comments on plans of subdivision and re-zoning
applicationo
Following the presentation, a question and answer period was heldo
The Mayor of East Gwillimbury advised that the Council was not accepting or
rejecting the report at this time and would not make a decision until they received
anawers to previous questions" It was noted that the Roger's Dam had been
designed to Hurrican Hazel standards by another well-known engineering firm, but
the design was not acceptable in the MacLaren Report based on the project storms"
Newmarket was presented by an appointed member of the Conservation Authority" The
meeting was advised that while there were some items that required further
clarification and discussion, the Report was generally accepted"
On behalf of Aurora the meeting was advised that we could not accept theReport as
is,because it was felt to be unrealistic for the head water areao It was
suggested that the Report be used as a guide only and each individual case be
judged on its own merits" It was also suggested that the regulatory control be
placed with the elected Municipal Officials, rather than the appointed
Conservation Officials"
It is recommended that:
lo The Conservation Authority and the Department of Energy & Resources
Management be advised that the Report is not acceptable insofar as the Council
of Aurora is concerned, as it is too restrictive and unrealistico
2o The Conservation Authority and the Department of Energy and Resources
Management be requested to prepare a copy of the Floodline Map for the Aurora
Area with the actual flood limits of Hurricane Hazel superimposed"
3o The Conservation Authority and the Department of Energy & Resources
Management be requested to hold in abeyance any proposed legislation or action
with regard to the implementation of the MacLaren Report until the information
requested in parao 2 be made available and discussedo In the event that action
is to be taken, that all concerned municipalities and the Region of York be so
advised, so that appeal action may be taken if requiredo
4o That a copy of the recommendations, if approved by Council, be forwarded to
the Region of York, the Town of Newmarket, the To•<nship of East Gwillimbury and
in addition, the Conservation Authority and the Department of Energy and Resourcee
Management"
