MAY 2nd. 1977
Councillor E. Stewart presented a report of the Industrial Committee
in which.the Committee respectfully submitted the following:
A meeting of the Industrial Committee was held on April 19th. 1977
in Committee Room #1 at 7:30 p.m.
Present were: Mayor G. Timpson, Councillors E. Stewart, R. Isaacson,
L. Ostick, R. Simmons, Mr. Mike Lysecki, Mr. John
Smith, J. D. Reid and Henry Borgdorff of J. D. Reid
& Assoc. Engineers and Mr. Max Sherman of Alliance
Building Corporation.
1. The meeting was called to order at 7:30p.m. sharp by Chairman
E. Stewart who gave a brief summary of the purpose of the Industrial
Committee and a resume of what had been done since January 1st.
1977-
2. The Chairman followed with a report regarding the progress being
made on the roadway planned to connect Edward Street and the
Alliance Building Corporation lands to the south. The O.L.S.
surveys were complete and the area of land required for the road
to be purchased from Aladdin Industries was to be computed by
Lloyd and Purcell together with the portion owned by the Town
and then the plan would be registered.
This completed, the next step would be to instruct our Solicitors
to prepare the necessary papers for the land transfers, etc. and
sent the required copies to Aladdin Industries for acceptance.
Aladdin have suggested a price for their land and this cost "rould
be charged back to Alliance Building Corporation.
Mr. Max Sherman of Alliance advised that his Company were prepared
to pay for all the costs involved for completing the road, and
their firm would complete the construction with the To1m Engineer
doing the inspections as needed. ·
He advised that Alliance were prepared to start construction of the
road as soon as the necessary paper work was completed.
3. The Clerk Administrator gave us a report on the present status of
the unsold lands within the Industrial Park and advised that the
closing date for the Ganz Property may have to be extended awaiting
the final location of the roadway to cross the CNR from Edward
Street to the lands east of the CNR."
A meeting had been set up for 10:00 A.M. the next day to consult
with Mr. Reeder of the Canadian Railway Commission and Mr. P. A.
Weber of the C.N.R. to discuss the possibility of a level crossing.
NOTE: That meeting was held and a favourable indication was given
subject to our Engineer preparing a formal application
to the Canadian Railway Commission in Ottawa. This work
is now under way.
REGULAR MEETING -18 -MAY 2nd. 1977
RE:FORTS OF COMMITTEES CONT' D
The Clerk Administrator reported that he had had a meeting with
Mr. Ganz that afternoon and Mr. Ganz had suggested a new route
for the proposed new roadway to the Alliance property through
his property, but the Committee felt the changing of the road'liay
at this late date would only delay the development of the Alliance
property, and it was not in the best interests of the Town or the
Alliance Building Corporation.
4. Mr. Max Sherman of Alliance Building gave a brief summary of his
company's plans for the lands east of the C.N.R. He advised
that they had prospective clients for about 18 acres of their
lands east of the C.N.R. but as they had not finalized their road
pattern they would not be proceeding with this matter until some-
thing more definite could be finalized as to the best eventual road
pattern for all concerned.
He said their Company wished to work along with the To\in of Aurora
and would do anything possible to assist the Town with their
development.
5. Mr. Jack Reid gave the Committee a brief report on some of his
personal feelings about the Ross Street route for the roadway
and suggested that the Committee look closely at all aspects of
this route to prevent any future problems.
6. A discussion on all the possible routes for the roadway was held
and although no final decision was reached due to lack of
permission from the various government agencies, it was agreed
by all that the servicing of the Industrial Park lands 1rras indeed
a top priority and must be proceeded with as soon as possible.
Meeting adjourned at 9:35 p.m.
