Councillor E. Stewart and Citizen members J. Smith and B. Johnston.
1. Chairman E. Stewart reported that the contract for the Industrial roadway
to the Engelhard site had been awarded to Meca Mechanical Industries Ltd.
of 16 Rivalda Road and that the machines would be on the site on Tuesday,

REPORTS OF COMMITTEES (continued)
2. The cheque. for the land purchased by Engelhard Industries was given to Mayor
Timpson on March 23rd and the firm is expected to start construction of
their 80.,000 square foot plant on May 15th, 1978.
3. The question of access to the Engelhard property was discussed and the C.N.R.
have agreed to allow the use of the old Wood farm crossing for a 3-month
period provided that the gates on either side of the crossing are kept locked
at all times when the crossing is not being used by Engelhard Industries or
their contractor Wm. Parker Construction. Use by others is not to be permitted;
that the Town upgrade the crossing and install larger culverts at the Town's
expense; that engineering costs of about $200.00 be paid to C.N. before any
improvements are made to the crossing; that the Town pay to C.N. a rental of
$25.00 for the three month term and that the Town secure liability insurance
payable to the C.N. in the amount of one million dollars.
The Committee recommends that Council approve the use of this crossing and
agree to the terms and conditions and instruct Reid & Associates to prepare
the necessary plans and further that Council authorize the necessary work to
be done at a cost not to exceed $9,000.00.
4. Names of Roadways -The Committee discussed the naming of the two roadways
and recommends that the north/south road be named Industrial Parkway which
would require a change in name for that portion of Ross Street that will form
part of the road and also the north portion of Industry Street South that is
to be part of the Parkway.
The Committee recommends that the east/west road from Edward Street easterly
to the Engelhard plant be named Engelhard Drive in honour of the first Industry
to locate east of the C.N.R. in our Industrial Park.
5. The Committee further recommends that when the Industrial Parkway, east of
Ross Street is completed that the portion of Ross Street south of the old
Dodgson house and north of the proposed Parkway be closed and that Ross Street
be made a dead end street with a suitable turning cul-de-sac.
6. Chairman E. Stewart advised that he had taken out membership in Industrial
Developers Association of Canada and that a meeting would be held on May 6th
in Oshawa and requested permission to attend.
The Committee recommends that permission be granted and the usual expenses
be allowed.
7. The I.D.A.C. are sponsoring a Course in Economic Development at the
University of Waterloo and the first year course is on May 14 to May 19, 1978.
As provisions was made in the Industrial Committee budget for the cost of
this course, the Committee recommends that Councillor Stewart be allowed
to attend and the tuition fee of $295.00 and the costs of accommodation and
the usual expenses be allowed.

The owner seeks consent to convey a parcel of land having an area of 0.124 acres,

2142-77, which requires minimum lot areas of 2 acres and minimum frontages of 150
feet. The By-law has been approved by the Municipal Board.
The Committee notes that the subject land is to be conveyed to the owner of Lot
49 abutting on the north, to be taken into the title of that lot. In
exchange, the owner of Lot 49 proposes to convey a parcel somewhat similar in
area to the owner in the subject application. The effect will be to decrease the
frontage of the owner's land and increase the width of the rear, with a
corresponding decrease in the width of the rear part of the owners' land to the
north and an increase in the frontage.
The Committee concludes that the proposal conforms to the Official Plan and to
the Zoning By-law and that each of the resulting parcels will have an area of at
least 2 acres as required by the 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 the intended 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 in this instance
to ensure the proper and orderly development of the Municipality.
It is, therefore, the decision of the Land Division Committee that consent be
GRANTED to Application Number A.77.4, upon fulfilment of the following conditions:
1. Payment of all taxes, to date, to the Town of Aurora;
2. Payment of an Administration Fee of $100.00, to the Town of Aurora;
3. Payment of a Park Levy to the Town of Aurora, in lieu of the deeding
of land for park purposes, said levy not to exceed 5% of the
appraised market value of the subject land, or submission to the
Secretary-Treasurer of written advice from the Municipality that a
park dedication or payment of cash in lieu thereof was made at the
time of the registration of Registered Plan Number M-1582 and
therefore, no park levy is required in the subject application;
4. Submission to the Secretary-Treasurer, of a fully executed deed, in
duplicate, conveying the subject land only to the owner of Lot 49
abutting on the north;
5. Submission to the Secretary-Treasurer, of two white prints of a
registered Plan of Reference of the subject land which conforms
substantially with the application as submitted;
