Councillor Timpson chaired the meeting.
The meeting was to outline Council's concern regarding~ road
pattern through the Sheppard's Bush area and Council stated that this
road pattern had been proposed in the Town of Aurora Official Plan
since 1964, and also to discuss the S.L.S.C.A. letter re the 1'
reserve.
Mr. Richardson advised Council that the Conservation Authority were
only managers of this Conservation Area and that they had to carry
out the wishes of the Ontario Heritage Foundation.
Mr. Pyzer outlined the Conservation plans for the area and in
particular the Maple Sugar making demonstration and the tours planned
for the school children. Mr. Pyzer advised that before starting, the
plans had to be approved by the Conoervation Area Advisory Board, the
Heritage Foundation and the Ministry of Natural Resources.
The S.L.S.C.A. were mostly concerned now with obtaining permission
from Council to cross the one foot reserve at the end of Industry
Street, South, so that the demonstrations of maple sugar could take
place.
Councillor Timpson stated that the Council were sympathetic to the
Conservation principles but the Council must have the whole Towns
interest at heart, and members of the Authority stated they under-
stood the Towns problem and the Towns desire for a service road.
It was suggested that a meeting be arranged between the Heritage
Foundation and Council to discuss the road pattern problem.
After further discussion, Council in Committee would recommend that the
S.L.S.C.A. be granted permission to cross the one foot reserve at the
south end of Industry Street, South.
