REGULAR MEETING -'16 -JUNE 6th. '1977
REPORTS OF COMMITTEES CONT' D
In considering the owner's proposal, the Committee had regard
to subsection 4 of section 33 of The Planning Act and to written
and oral submissions and comments made at the Hearing. The
Committee concludes that the proposal conforms to the Official Plan
and the Zoning By-law. The Committee is satisfied that conveyance
of the subject land will not adversely affect the established pattern
of development in the area and that the shape and dimensions of
the resulting lots are adequate and the lots are suitable for res-
idential purposes. The Committee is further satisfied that the
conveyance will not be detrimental to the public interest. In the
opinion of the Committee, 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, and development of the
subject land for residential purposes will not overtax existing
school facilities.
It is, therefore, the decision of the Land Division Committee, that
Application Number A.76.'14 be, and the same is, hereby , APPRQVED
upon fulfilment of the following conditions:
'1. Payment of all taxes to date, to the Town of Aurora;

6. Authorization without successful appeal of a variance from the
provisions of By-law number '1863, given by the Aurora Committee

owner in respect of the proposed westerly side ~rd of the
existing frame garage;

requiring connection of each of the resulting lots to a
municipal sanitary sewer, when such sewer becomes available;

Item #1
The Committee discussed the Terms of Reference of the Town
Superintendent pending definition of town staff's role in relation
to projects assigned to the. ·Town Engineer, no recommendations ;rill
be made.
Item #2
The Superintendent's request for authority to expend the money
in the budget for survey equipment up to a maximum of$ 1,500.00
is recommended. Pending confirmation of this some equipment is
being tested on a rental approval basis.
Item #3
The Works Department at present only own 1, 2" submersible pump.
When this breaks down at week-ends a rental replacement is not
available. Cases have occurred recently where the Town emergency
crew have been unable to give adequate service.
The high rental rates make extended time rental very expensive. It
is recommended that a 2nd. pump be purchased. This item is in the
1977 Works Budget.
Item #4
The Committee considered the Town Superintendent's report on
Capital Equipment purchases, which is available to any member
of Council on request. We recommend the purchase of a single

that Town staff do layout and inspection work on the Aurora Heights
rebuilding contract.
Item #7

and we recommend payment of 50%.

The Committee received a memo from the Town Engineer giving
an estimate of completion times for 1976 projects carried over
to 1977.
Item #9 Clearway Construction Letter #11-136
The Committee recommend that no further consideration be given

It is not normal in very old parts of any town or city to
,,, have complete records of sewer connections. To our knowledge
the contractor did not make any intensive effort to locate
these services.
Item #10 Letter #9-15
The Committee feel that a decision on this matter depends on
the 2nd. paragraph of the letter. If the Town Engineer is
prepared to support these statements that Council have little
hope of enforcing payment, then the matter be discussed further.

advancing the fall and winter season by one month. This is to
accommodate the Aurora Tigers Training Camp. and the Aurora
Figure Skating Club has applied to the C.F.S.A. for permission
to hold a month long Skating School. With other hours being
rented to Minor Hockey Rep teams, an estimated revenue of some
$ 6,600.00 is expected for the month of September. This does
not include Canteen revenue, so the figure should be higher.
E. Batson also stated that he would like to keep the ice in
next Spring until the end of April, one month longer than usual,
as he feels it is worth the gamble, as expected revenue could
well exceed that of a normal April.
The Committee concurred on this recommendation.
3. Mr. E. Batson also requested an increase in Ice Rates of $ 2.50
per hour making prime time for Monday to Friday inclusive
$ 32.50 per hour and all hours on Saturday and Sunday ~~ 35.00
per hour.
The Committee recommends to Council that this increase be
approved.
4. The date of June '18th. has been set for the Recreation Appreciation
Night, and the Committee unanimously agrees that the Recreation
Committee pay for all expenses, as budgeted.
5. Councillor P.Miller raised the question of phones in Factory
Theatre and Victoria Hall.
The Committee recommends that such phones be left as they are,
to avoid any possible accidental occurances which might
occur, with no method of calling for assistance.
6. Councillor P. Miller informed the Committee that the Aurora Tigers
are interested in enlarging it's present dressing room, utilizing
the wa.shroom immediately adjacent to the dressing room, for this
purpose. Mr. Batson stated that he had also been asked and had
no objections, but had provisions, such as:
'1. That all expenses and costs incurred be the responsibility
of the Aurora Tigers Hockey Club.
2. In the event that the Tigers wish to have a permanent office
in the new addition, that a rental fee be assessed.
3. The washroom in question is used very little, and it's
removal would not create any problems.
The Committee recommends permission be granted subject to these
provisions.
