Report on Road Vibrations on Yonge Street, North Councillor Ostick reported that he had contacted the Ministry of Transportation & Communications in the hope that tests could be done to determine the level of vibration caused by traffic passing over faults in the road opposite 54 and 72 Yonge Street North. This matter was brought to the attention of LACAC as both properties are of architectural and historical importance. It was agreed that, if the level of vibration is found to be unacceptably high, measures should be taken to correct the situation and repair damage which already has been caused. 5.

Resolution Regarding the Church Street School 7. Councillor Ostick reported that Council in Committee will discuss the Church Street School at a meeting on May 2nd.

(3) This work should be financed through the sale of the Museum and Potters Guild building.

The LACAC's chief concern is the preservation of the building and not the specifics of how the building is used. Accounts A cheque for $50.00 was received from the Aurora and District Historical Society to cover the cost of a meeting held in February between A.J. Diamond and Associates and representatives of the Town of Aurora and LACAC. A bill was received for a total of $152.00 from A.J.

C.N.R. to Edward Street The Committee were unanimous in their desire to have this road work, level crossing, complete with the required safety signals and the connection of the two 12" watermains completed this year. The Engineering plans and cost estimates are now ready and the Committee would ask Council to put the contract for the entire job out for tender as soon as is possible. Item #2 Re: Sale of 1 acre. Industrial Lots The Committee discussed the problem of not being able to sell lots of 1 acre in size due to the depth of the existing lots being 600 feet on an average. The Committee would ask Council to engage Reid & Associates to estimate the cost of installing a small cul de sac complete with the services on one of the large lots so that small lots could be created. Item #3 Re: Vacant Wood Lot east of the Greenbelt in the Industrial Park The Committee recommends to council that they consider selling this land to adjoining property owners as it is a separate parcel and would not likely be used as part of the Industrial Park due to its location and high cost of servicing. The Committee would ask permission to advise adjacent property owners that the Town of Aurora. would consider bids to purchase this property. Item #4 Street Lighting in the Industrial Park The Committee recommends that Council authorize the Aurora Hydro to proceed with the installation of the necessary street lighting for the entire Aurora Industrial Park and the necessary funds be taken from the Industrial Park Account. Item #5 Survey for Old Police Building Property on Yonge Street The Committee recommends to Council that an estimate of the cost of a survey for the Old Police Building property be requested from Lloyd and Purcell, Land Surveyors, as it is Council's intention to sell this property and the Committee find it difficult to determine the boundaries and size of this property from the existing information available. ~-------------·"·-'·'";.:.:'~~~··----·--·-· ._-.,.:__;_.:__.,:...~..;,.:._~"'-'"=-'-='•·""""~~ X GJJ@ "'~'"""'"'-~~ • ..,,<-,~~· -"-'~-----~~-'~----··•·•···~---------·~•~-~- COUNCIL MEETING •..

The owner seeks consent to a grant of easement having an area of 0.186 hectares (0.460 acres) with an average width of 15 metres (49.212 feet) , for recreational purposes. The owner's land has an area of 0.72 hectares (1.78 acres) with frontage of 70.85 metres (232.48 feet) on the south side of Elderberry Trail, and is to be used for residential purposes.
