Edward James Jones and Margaret May Jones
8178 Yonge Street, Thornhill, Ontario L4J 1W5
Lot 3, Plan 583, 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 Edward James Jones and Margaret May Jones,
for consent to convey a parcel of land having an area of 0.50 acres and frontage
of approximately 120 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, J.P. Jongeneel, R.E. Preston, Mrs. M.I. Smithyes, W.J. Taylor,
being a quorum of the Land Division Committee on Tuesday, March 7th, 1978.
Mr. Jones appeared at the Hearing.
Originally, the owners sought consent to convey a parcel of land having an
area of 0.50 acres with frontage of approximately 120 feet on the south side
of Kenlea Court, for residential purposes, as shown on Appendix No. 1 attached
hereto. The owners would have retained a parcel of land having an area of
approximately 2.5 acres with frontage of approximately 27 feet on Kenlea Court
and frontage of 300.90 feet on the north side of Wellington Street West, for
residential purposes.
Subsequently, the Committee accepted a request by the owners to amend
the application, to convey a parcel of land having an area of 1 acre with
frontage of approximately 120 feet on the south side of Kenlea Court and

REPORTS OF COMMITTEES (continued)
frontage of 110 feet on the north side of Wellington Street West, for
residential purposes, as shown on Appendix No. 2 attached hereto. As amended,
the owners would retain a parcel of land having an area of approximately 2
acres with frontage of approximately 27 feet on Kenlea Court and frontage of
approximately 200 feet on Wellington Street West, for residential purposes.
The subject land as amended is vacant. There is an existing dwelling and a
swimming pool located on the remainder.
In considering the owners' proposal as amended, 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 owners' land is designated as "Urban Residential" on the Aurora Official
Plan. The land is affected by By-Law 986 of the former Township of King which
requires, for residential uses, minimum lot areas of 15,000 square feet and
minimum frontages of 100 feet. The By-law has been approved by the Municipal
Board.
The Committee notes that although the remaining land would not have sufficient
frontage on Kenlea Court to meet the requirements of the By-law, it would have
sufficient frontage on Wellington Street West. Nonetheless, the Committee is
of the view that the frontage on Kenlea Court should be increased somewhat to
facilitate access to the lot since it is apparently intended that Kenlea Court
shall be the principal means of access to the dwelling. It appears that the
frontage of the subject land as amended could be reduced somewhat, in the manner
shown on Appendix No. 3 attached hereto, in order to provide the remaining land
with additional frontage on Kenlea Court, and still conform with the
requirements of the By-law.
The Committee concludes that the proposal conforms to the Official Plan and to
Restricted Area By-law 986. The Committee is satisfied that conveyance of the
subject land as amended 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, and development of the
subject land as amended for residential purposes will not overtax existing
school facilities.
It is, therefore, the decision of the Land Division Committee that consent be
Granted to Application Number A.77.5 as amended, upon fulfilment of the
following conditions:
1. Payment of all taxes, to date, to the Town of Aurora.

Councillor Tonner in the Chair.
A meeting of the Administration Committee was held at 2:00p.m. in
Committee Room #2 Wednesday, April 26th, 1978. Those in attendance
were Mayor George Da Timpson, Councillor R. Isaacson, Councillor K.
Tonner, Councillor E. Stewart and Councillor P. Miller. Councillor
B. Ferguson and Councillor L. Ostick along with Clerk-Administrator
K.B. Rodger, Transit Co-ordinator R. Smith, and Treasurer Wm. Johnson
joined the meeting during its progress.
Item #l -Delegation from Reliable Taxi
Mr. Dave Smalley, President, and a Mr. Harding appeared before the Committee
to discuss the establishment by Reliable Taxi of an office in the Town of
Aurora. Mr. Smalley pointed out that Reliable Taxi now operates eighteen
vehicles in the Town of Newmarket, that the company has been in business for
twenty years and has forty employees. They would offer twenty-four hour
service and are wanting to receive five licences for four cars.
The only advantage that Reliable Taxi would have as the result of having an
Aurora licence would be the legal ability to pick-up and to drop-off passengers
within the municipal boundaries of the Town of Aurora. It is already possible
for them to pick-up passengers with destinations outside this municipality and,
on the other hand, to pick-up passengers in other municipalities and leave
them in Aurora.
This information is presented to Members of Council with a recommendation
from the committee.
Item #2 -Letter 9-58 -York Taxi
Mr. Russell T. Hughes, President of York Taxi, appeared before the Committee
to discuss his operation in the Town of Aurora. York Taxi now offers twenty-
four hour service and will shortly be increasing the number of cabs licenced
in the Town of Aurora to nine frOm the present seven. The new cabs include
a Chrysler Newport, a relatively comfortable air-conditioned vehicle, and a
Stationwagon, in order that York Taxi will be able to provide better service
to the Town of Aurora. Mr. Hughes is very definitely of the opinion that
there is insufficient business in the Town of Aurora to warrant the licencing
of a second company, so that that company may pick-up and drop-off passengers
within the Town of Aurora, recognizing fully that companies in neighbouring
municipalities can pick-up passengers in the town and drop them off outside
the town, or pick-up passengers outside the town and drop them off inside
the town.

The Planning Committee of the Region of York recommended that this ·Technical
Report regarding the Alliance Industrial Subdivision east of the C.N.R.
tracks be. given draft approval. Close examination of the conditions of draft
approval saw a few conditions which were not entirely satisfactory to the·
point of view of the Town of Aurora. Therefore, I requested that Regional

a submission from the Town of Aurora regarding the report. The referral
was made by Regional Council.
