Mr. Orsi asked Council for their comments on a piece of property he owned
which fronts on the St. John's Sideroad. Mr. Orsi was informed this property
is outside the Planning Area and any Subdivision planned for this area would
be premature at this time. It was suggested that Mr. Orsi could contact
Mrs. Siebert, Regional Planner and South Lake Simcoe Conservation Authority

226 Clemow Avenue, Ottawa, Ontario KlS 2B6
Part Lot 23, Concession 2, Town of Aurora
In the matter of Subsection (3) of Section 42 of The Planning Act (R.S.O. 1970,
c.349) as amended, and
In the matter of an application by David Lakie, for consent to convey a parcel of
land having an area of 3.2 acres and frontage of 205 feet, as shown hatched on a
sketch attached as Appendix No. 1, for residential purposes.
Before: R.E. McAfee (Chairman), W. Bales, G. Bellach, H.J.A. Chambers,
G.R. Gregory, R.E. Preston, Mrs. M.I. Smithyes, W.J. Taylor, being a quorum of the
Land Division Committee on Tuesday, September 6, 1977.
Mr. Don Glass, authorized agent, appeared at the Hearing.
The owner seeks consent to convey a parcel of land having an area of 3.2 acres
with frontage of 205 feet on the west side of the 3rd Concession Road, for
residential purposes. The owner would retain parcel of land having an area of
47 acres with a "split" frontage totalling 1,141.29 feet, for agricultural
purposes. There is an existing dwelling (converted barn) and a detached frame
garage located on the subject land. There is an existing two-storey brick
dwelling and a frame shed loc.ated on the remainder.
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 notes that the soil capability of the owner's land for agriculture
is designated as Class 1 in the Canada Land Inventory. The land is designated
"Rural" on the Official Plan for the former Township of Whitchurch Planning Area,
which has been approved by the Minister of Housing. The Official Plan provides
that good agricultural land is to be preserved; that isolated development should
be prevented; that the proposed lot is .to be in character with adjacent
development and that lots are to conform with the Zoning Bylaw. The land is
zoned "RU"-Rural by Bylaw Number 2142-77, which requires minimum frontages of
600 feet and minimum lot areas of 25 acres. The Bylaw has not yet been approved
the Municipal Board but predecessors of the Bylaw have the same requirements.
The Committee concludes

In addition, the Committee is of the opinion that the

Administration Committee -Report #92
Counciller Tonner in the Chair.
A meeting of the Administration Committee was held on Tuesday, September 27th,
1977 at 3:00 p.m. in the Mayor's Office. Those in attendance were:
Mayor George D. Timpson, Councillor R. Isaacson, Councillor K. Tonner,
Clerk-Administrator K.B. Rodger and Treasurer Wrn. Johnson. Councillor L. Ostick
joined the meeting at approximately 4:30 p.m.
Item #1 -Air Conditioning in the Computer Room
The Committee discussed the problems that have been encountered by the Treasury
Department with regard to the proper functioning of our in-house computer.
The Committee recommends that the following steps be taken:
1. That the Treasury Department obtain advice from the manufacturer and/or
supplier of the computer as to the best method to correct the kinds of
problems that we encounter.
2. Pending completion of recommendation No. 1, that the purchasing agent,
Mr. R. Smith, contact various suppliers to obtain prices for equipment
similar to that which has been recommended by one local supplier.
Item #2 -Sewage Rate By-Law
The Committee discussed the development of this By-Law and makes the
following recommendations and observations:
1. The By-Law will be ready for full preliminary Council discussion on
November 2nd, at the regularly scheduled Council in Committee meeting.

COUNCIL MEETING -OCTOBER 3rd, 1977
REPORTS OF COMMITTEES (continued)

2. The Committee recommends that the total sewage cost assigned the Town
of Aurora by the Region of York be broken down so that commercial and
industrial users pay for sewage according to the amount of water meter
readings and that this cost be initially deducted from the total sewage
cost. The balance of the cost then be divided by the number of residential
municipally sewer-serviced homes within the urban area of the town to
determine a residential flat rate similar to the flat rate presently in
vogue with relation to water charges.
3. The Committee recommends that the Treasury Department explore with Aurora
Hydro methods by which the sewage flat rate charge can be added on to the
same bill which is presently used for water. The end result of this action
would be that the resultant bill would be a combined water and sewage bill.
Item #3 -Bus Schedule Changes
The Committee concurs with the recommendations of the Transit Co-ordinator,
Mr. R. Smith, with regard to:
1. The 7:10 a.m. bus being routed directly to the railway and then back to
its normal route.
2. The timing changes to be made for Yonge Street, South and Murray Drive-
Victoria Street and Wellington Street, East, and Yonge Street, North and
Mark Street.
3. The Committee recommends that the noon-hour Saturday run be cancelled so
that the driver may have lunch.
4. The Committee recommends that the route be changed so that the bus proceeds
north on Victoria Street, west on Wellington, north on Yonge, then east on
Centre Street to Walton so that better service can be provided the Senior
Citizens who use the bus. The Committee further recommends that Travelways
be instructed that drivers are not to stop for longer than necessary to pick-
up or discharge passengers on Yonge Street.
Item #4 -Advertising in the 125th Anniversary Edition of the Era
The Committee recommends that no advertisement be placed by the Town of Aurora as
the Town of Aurora cannot afford to spend money in this regard.
The Committee recommends, however, that the Council extend its congra~ulations
to the Era upon their celebration of their 125th Anniversary on October 5th and
that the Council wish the Era every success in their future work as a local
community newspaper serving this area.
Item #5 -Letter 17-53 Memo from Mr. R. Smith -Transit Co-ordinator
The Committee advises that Mr. Bob Coghill is to be invited to attend the next
Administration Committee meeting on Wednesday, October 12, 1977 at 3:00p.m.
