BEFORE: R.E. McAfee (Chairman), Ms. B.E. Brodeur, H.J. Chambers, R. W. Keffer, R.E. Preston, Mrs. M. I. Smithyes, W.J. Taylor, being a quorum of the Land Division Committee on Tuesday, February 24th. 1976. Mr. Steven Iczkovitz of Shiff, Gross, Solicitors for the applicant, appeared at the Hearing. Mr. James Jongeneel, President of Matjon Properties LimitEd was also present. The applicant seeks consent to convey a parcel of land having an area of 1.951 acres with frontage of 492.70 feet on the north side of Bloomington Road, located approximately 1900 feet west of Bayview Avenue, for agricutural purposes. The applicant would retain lanq which comprises Registered Plan M-1582, an Estate Residential ,~lan of Subdivision location to the north. Access to the lots' 'in the Plan are gained via an internal road system. The subject land is vacant. The Estate Residential Plan of Subdivision is presently under development. The applicant's land is designated "Estate Residential" by Amendment Number 1 to the Official Plan for the former Township of Whitchurch Planning Area, except for the southerly 150 feet, being the subject land, which is designated "Rural". The Rural designation requires that the subject land conform to the provisions of the Zoning By-law. However, the Town of Aurora has adopted an Interim Official Plan which is not yet approved by the Minister, but which designates the subject land •Estate Residential". The subject land is zoned "R" -Rural by By-law Number 2042-75 which has not yet been approved by the Municipal Board. The rural zone requires a minimum lot frontage of 600 feet and a minimum lot area of 25 acres. Notwithstanding that the proposed use of the subject land is shown as being "Agricl'ltural", the agent for the proposed purchaser advises that the subject land will be used for residential purpos~s. Neither the subject land nor the remaining land is serviced by a municipal water system or municipal sanitary sewers and apparently none are contemplated in the foreseeable future • . . __ .t! ..

COMMITTEES CONT' D Lots in the abutting Estate Residential Plan are to be serviced by private well and septic tank and tile field systems. The subject land fronts onto the original road allowance for Bloomington Road which will, in effect be a "Service road" adjacent to , Bloomington Road as re-constructed by the Regional Municipality of York, to the south. Reportedly, the origiLel road allowance will remain as an assumed public street. The Committee is satisfied that the applicant's proposal conforms to the provisions of the Interim Official Plan and that the subjeqt land is suitable for residential purposes and will be compatible · with the Estate Residential Plan of Subdivision presently under ·,,,/ development to the north. The Committee is further satisfied that a Plan of subdivision approved under Section 33 of the Planning Act is not necessary to ensure the proper and orderly development of the Municipality. It is, therefore, the decision of the Land Division Committee that Application Number A.75.18, be, and the same is, hereby, APPROVED, upon fulfilment of the following conditions: 1. Payment of all taxes, to date, to the Town of Aurora; 2. Ontario Municipal Board approval of an appropriate amendment to the Restricted Area By-law affecting the applicant's land, passed by Council in response to an application submitted by the applicant, to permit the use of the subject land for the intended residential uses; 3. Conveyance of a one foot reserve across the Regional Road Number 40 frontage of the subject land, to the Regional Municipality of York, without cost, and free of encumbrances; 4. Submission to the Secretary-Treasurer, of a fully executed deed, in triplicate, conveying the subject land; 5. Submission to the Secretary-Treasurer, of three white prints of a registered Plan of Reference of the subject land, which conforms substantially with the application as submitted and which shows the required one foot reserve: 6. Fulfilment of Conditions 1,2,3, 4 and 5 not later than JANUARY 26, 1972. NOTE: The foregoing conditions must be fulfilled before certificate of consent can be issued (Subsection (12) of Section 29 of The Planning Act (R.s.o. 1970, Ch. 349) as amended).

Town of Aurora. IN THE MATTER OF Subsection (3) of Section 42 of The Planning Act (R.S.O. 1970 Ch. 349) as amended, and IN THE MATTER OF an application by Village In the Valley Limited, for consent to convey a parcel of land having an area of 47.498 acres and frontage of 325.92 feet, as shown hatched on a sketch attached as Appendix No. 1, for agricultural purposes. BEFORE: R. E. McAfee (Chairman), Ms. B. E. Brodeur, H. J. A. Chambers, R.W. Keffer, R.E. Preston, Mrs. I'l. I. Smithyes, W.J. Taylor, being a quorum of the Land Division Committee on Tuesday, February 24, 1976. Mr. Steven Iczkovitz of Shiff, Gross, Solicitors for the applican~, appeared at the Hearing. Mr. James Jongeneel, President of I'latjon Properties Limited, was also present. The applicant seeks consent to convey a parcel of land having an area of 47.498 acres with frontage of 325.92 feet on the east side of Yonge Street, located approximately 1343 feet north of Bloomington Road, for agricultural purposes. The applicant would retain land which comprises Registered Plan M-1582 an Estate Residential Plan of Subdivision located to the east. Access to the lots in the Plan are gained via an internal road system. The subject land is vacant. The Estate Residential Plan of Subdivision is presently under development. The applicant's land is designated "Estate Residential" by Amendment Number 1 to the Official Plan for the former Township of Whitchurch Planning Area. The Estate Residential designation permits residential lots of not less than 2 acres in area, subject to rezoning. The subject· land is zoned "R" -Rural by By-law · Number 2042-75 which has not yet been approved by the Municipal .Board. REGULAR MEETING -'14--.APRIL 5th. '1976 REPORTS .Q! COMMITTEES CONT' D The rural zone requires a minimum lot frontage of 600 feet and a minimum lot area of 25 acres. The Committee notes that the Ministry of Transportation and Communications has no objections to the application provided that access to the subject land is gained via Steeplechase Avenue, being one of the internal roads in the adjacent Estate Residential Plan, Number M-'1582. Reportedly, the subject land is used for the grazing and keeping of horses, with physical access being gained from Yonge Street. At present, there is a one foot reserve across Steeplechase Avenue, preventing legal access to that street. In any event, existing trees and topographical considerat~­ ions would appear to make direct access to Steeplechase Avenue difficult, at this time. The Committee is satisfied that the applicant's proposal conforms to the provisions of the Official Plan and that the subject land is suitable for the continuation of existing agricultural uses and will be compatible ~:th the Estate Residential Plan of Subdivision presently under development to the east. The Committee is also satisfied that a Plan of Subdivision approved under Section 33 of The Planning Act is not necessary in the subject application, to ensure the proper and orderly development of the Municipality. Further, the Committee is satisfied that conveyance of the subject land will not contribute to an increase in traffic onto Yonge Street provided the land continues to be used for agricultural purposes and that if the land is developed as Residential Plan of Subdivision in the future as suggested by the Ministry of Transportation and Communications, that Ministry will have an opportunity at that time to comment on and regulate traffic onto Yonge Street. Finally, the Committee is satisfied that conveyance of the subject land will not create a parcel which does not conform to the provisions of the By-law with respect to minimum frontage on a public street, since the frontage of the subject land represents all of the frontage owned by the applicant. The Committee notes that if the applicant conveys lots 23 to 30 inclusive, Plan M-'1582, it will effectively create the parcel which is the subject of this application. It is, therefore, the decision of the Land Division Committee that Application Number A.75.'17 be, and the same is, hereby, APPROVED, upon fulfilment of the following conditions: '1. Payment of all taxes, to date, to the Town of Aurora; 2. Submission to the Secretary-Treasurer, of a fully executed deed, in triplicate, conveying the subject land; 3.
