REPORTS OF COMMITTEES:
Report #58 -Public Safety Committee ••. Various Matters
A meeting of the Public Safety Committee was held on Monday, June 26th, 1978
at 7:30 p.m.
Present were: Councillor E. Stewart, Acting Chairman; D. Lougheed and D. Farrow,
members; Fire Chief S. Wilson and Deputy Fire Chief D. Patrick,
regrets from Councillor B. Ferguson and Councillor N. Stewart.
1. Letter 13-49 -Mr. E. Sim, Complaint regarding motorbikes in Regency Acres
area in the vacant fields behind the schools.
The Committee recommends that the York Regional Police be contacted and a request
for selective enforcement be requested. The Committee also recommend that a letter
be sent to Mr. Sim outlining the action taken and to advise that the Ontario
Housing Corporation will be starting their subdivision in early 1979 which will
partly rectify this situation.
2. Letter 13-44 -Region of York-Traffic Control signals and parking on
Wellington Street at York Road 15 and Highway No. 11
The Regional Clerk advised that the Region of York had denied the request of the
Aurora Council for north-bound advanced green signal at the intersection of
Wellington Street and Yonge Street between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m.
They have suggested that we restrict parking of vehicles on the east side of
Yonge Street in the a.m. peak period from Wellington Street to a point approximately
250' south thereof.
The Committee felt the Regional solution to be unacceptable and would request that
the Region continue to monitor the .intersection and to reconsider the installation of
an advanced green signal in the a.m.

REPORTS OF COMMITTEES (continued)
3. Letter 11-25 -Region of York -Three-Way Stop at Aurora Heights Drive
and Tecumseh Drive
The Committee concur with the Council's decision made in this regard.
4. The following problem areas with regard to traffic safety were discussed:
(a) South/west corner of Centre and Wells Street -rear of Dr. William's horne.
The owner has planted a new hedge where fence was originally. The Committee
is concerned regarding the future growth of this hedge which would cause a
blind corner and would request the Clerk-Administrator advise the owner
of this concern.
(b) South/East Corner of Wells and Mosley Street
As there appears to be a parking problem at this corner the Committee
recommends that the appropriate signs be erected and that the York Regional
Police be requested to enforce same.
(c) North/West corner of Wells and Metcalfe Streets
Cars parking too close to the corner. The Committee recommends that
parking restrictions be enforced and the Regional Police be so advised.
(d) Parking on Both Sides of Kennedy Street, West -West of George Street
The Committee recommends that no parking signs should be installed on the
north side of Kennedy Street, West from George Street westerly to the western
end of Kennedy Street, West.
5. Hedges Covering Fire Hydrants
Fire Chief Wilson expressed concern regarding some property owners installing
hedges on town property that obscure fire hydrants. Also, some fences have been
erected too close to the fire hydrants.
It is recommended by the Committee that there should be at least three feet of
clearance all around the fire hydrants and the respective property owners
should be advised to remove either fences or hedges in this area.
6. Intersection of Harrison and Edward Streets
The Committee expressed concern that nothing had been done regarding the
intersection at Harrison and Edward Streets. The Committee recommends that the
Town Superintendent report on the feasibility of reconstructing the intersection
to eliminate as far as possible, the jog in the road. The committee further
recommends that Edward Street, from Connaught Avenue to Metcalfe Street be

REPORTS OF COMMITTEES (continued)
posted "No Parking" on the east side at any time and further that all derelict
vehicles parked on the est side of Edward Street, south of Metcalfe, be removed,
and that a letter be sent to the owners of such vehicles.
7. Purchase of New Radio-Pumper No. 4
The Committee recommends that as the radio for Pumper No. 4 is obsolete and
not working properly, that a new transistorized portable radio at a cost of
approximately $800.00 be purchased.
8. Rental of Additional Pager
Chief Wilson recommends that one pager be rented at a cost of $27.00 per month
$324.00 per annum, due to the addition of a new volunteer firefighter.
9. Purchase of a Hydraulic Hose Coupling Expander
Chief Wilson requested consideration in the purchasing of a hydraulic hose
coupling expander at a cost of approximately $2,104.75, plus tax. The present
hand expander is unserviceable. The Committee feels that some of the cost
could be recouped by using the hydraulic expander to repair hoses for other fire
departments in the area. The Committee recommends that the Council approve the
purchase of the hydraulic expander.
10. Scott Air-Pak
The Committee recommends that a Scott Air-Pak, at a cost of $837.00 be purchased.
This item is covered in the 1978 Fire Budget.
11. Repairs to Pumper
As the pump of the 1951 Pumper is not operating to full capacity, it is
recommended that King Seagrave Ltd. be. instructed to over-haul the pump unit at
a cost not to exceed $6,000.00.
12. Chief's Van
The Committee discussed the cost of repairing the van presently used by the Fire
Chief. It is estimated that mechanical repairs in the amount of $511.62 were
required and body repairs with estimates from a low of $790.00 to a high of
$1,290.00 would be required. Estimates on the purchase of a new van ranged from
approximately $4,600.00 to $5,784.00.

REPORTS OF COMMITTEES (continued)
The Committee recommends that consideration be given by Council to the
purchase of a new van rather than the repair of the old one. If this is not
possible, then the Committee would recommend that the Fire Chief and the
Inspector be allowed a car allowance to use their own vehicles on town business.
13. Nozzles
Chief Wilson requested the purchase of two new nozzles for Pump No. 4 at a cost
of approximately $280.00 each. The Committee recommends that the two nozzles
be purchased immediately.
The meeting adjourned at 10:00 p.m.

REPORTS OF COMMITTEES (continued)
Margaret Taylor, accountant for Mr. Fry, appeared at the Hearing.
The owner seeks consent to convey a parcel of land having an area of 9.188 acres,
with frontage of 930.91 feet on the east side of Industry Street, for light
industrial purposes. The owner would retain a parcel of land having an area of
2 .154 acres, with frontage of 216.27 feet on the north side of Wellington Street
East, and flankage of 385.13 feet on Industry Street, for light industrial
purposes .. The subject land is vacant. There is an existing warehouse, an office
and two sheds, located on the land to be retained.
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 owner's land is designated as "Industrial" on the Official .Plan. The Plan
has been approved by the Minister. The land is zoned "L" -Industrial by By-Law
1863 which has no area or frontage requirements, such being determined by
minimum yards and maximum building coverage requirements of the By-Law. The
By-Law has been approved by the Municipal Board.
The Committee concludes 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
the shape and dimensions of the resulting lots are adequate and the lots are
suitable for the intended purposes. The Committee is further satisfied the
conveyance will not be deterimental 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.
It is, therefore, the decision of the Land Division Committee that consent be
granted to Application Number A.78.7, upon fulfilment of the following conditions:
1. Paymen.t of all taxes, to date, to the Town of Aurora;
2. Payment of a Lot Levy and-Development Charge of $1,000.00, to
the Town of Aurora;
3. Payment of a Recreational Development Fee based on $100.00 per
acre, to the Town of Aurora;
4. Payment of a Services Levy based on $1,300.00 per acre of
Industrial land, to the Town of Aurora;
5. 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 only;
