REPORTS OF COMMITTEES
2. Complaints re Change of Street Names
The Committee reviewed a letter from Mr. & Mrs. Terrance Moreau of 91 Ross Street
who had purchased the property in August of this year from a Mr. & Mrs. Andrew
Ritchie. It was noted by the members that Mrs. Ritchie had attended the public
meeting that was held regarding the closing of Ross Street and she had expressed
her concern about the name change. It was felt by the Committee that the majority
of the people living on the street were aware of the future road construction and
name change and that as the property has an Industrial zoning, anYone purchasing
property in that area should have been aware of the intended future use of the
property.
The other letter was from Erwin Gray Ltd., 12 Industry Street, South, which stated
that this firm had recently purchased $5,000.00 worth of stationery on which their
address was printed. The Committee would recommend that Council delay the renaming
of the street to Industrial Parkway until the end of 1980 to allow time for this
firm to use up the newly purchased stationery.
3. Purchase of Lapel Pins
The Committee felt that some small token should be available to Council and
especially the Economic Development Committee to give to prospective newcomers and
industry to Aurora. The Committee would recommend that Council consider purchasing
1,000 lapel pins of a design suitable to Council at a cost not to exceed $1.25 each
including all taxes.
4. Budget Review for 1980
The Committee reviewed anY possible changes to be made in the. 1980 Economic
Development Committee budget and would recommend to Council that Items 10 and 11 be
reduced by $100.00 each and that the balance of the budget remain the same as in
1979 with the total being reduced to $8,300.00.
5. Building Permits for 1979
The Committee reviewed a report from Roy J. Harrington, Chief Building Inspector,
with respect to the building permnits issued during eleven months of 1979.
It was noted that the estimated cost of industrial building construction had risen
from $2,782,070.00 in 1978 to $5,326,589.00 or an increase of $2,544,519.00 for 11
months in 1979.
Total number of all permits issued during the 11 months of 1979 were 469 permits
having a total construction value of $22,206,015.00 an increase of $15,573,321.00
over 1978.
6. New Business
It was noted by the Committee that the original sketches of town buildings made by
Dorothy Clarke McClure were being stored in the Town vault.
The Committee would recommend to Council that these sketches be individually framed
and covered by a non-glare glass facing and that they be hung in suitable locations
around the Administration building for all to see.

In The Matter Of Subsection 3 of Section 42 of The Planning Act (R.S.O. 1970,

R.E. Preston (Chairman pro tern), w. Bales, G. Bellach, E. Chester, G.R.
Mrs. M.I. Smithyes, being a quorum of the Land Division Committee on
October 2nd, 1979.
Mr. Bryan Thomas, authorized agent, appeared at the Hearing. Mr. Tucciarone was
also present.
The owners seek consent to convey the subject 1 and marked "A" on the attached
sketch, for residential purposes, and retain the lands marked "B", for residential
purposes. Both the subject 1 ands and the 1 ands to be retained are vacant.
In reaching a decision, the Committee had regard to all of the matters set out in
subsection 4 of section 33 of The Planning Act and to the written and oral
submissions and comments made at the Hearing.
The owners' land is designated as "Urban Residential" by the approved Official
Plan. The Plan provides that development within urban residential areas shall
proceed in a controlled and progressive manner so that new development can be
easily serviced and will be contiguous to existing developed areas. It is the
intent of the Plan to protect and preserve, wherever possible, the older
residential areas of the Municipality from the introduction of higher density
residential dwellings or incompatible non-residential uses which could destroy the
area.
If a plan of subdivision is deemed to be not necessary for the orderly development
of the Municipality, regard shall be had to the matters set out in section 33{4) of
The Planning Act and to the following:
i )
i i)
iii)

Financial implications;
Adjacent uses (compatibility);
Access;

Zoning By-law
The land is zoned "R" -Residential Single Family by the approved Bylaw, which
requires minimum frontages of 50 feet and minimum lot areas of 5,000 square feet.

COUNCIL MEETING ••• MONDAY, JANUARY 7th, 1980

REPORTS OF COMMITTEES
The Committee notes that the owners' land is located within the boundary of a six
lot plan of subdivision which was registered on April 25, 1979. The Plan extends
Ransom Street westerly from Temperance Street into an area that is low lying. It
appears that a considerable amount of fill has been introduced to bring the
extension -known as Ransom Court -up to nearly the same elevation as the
intersection of Ransom and Temperance Streets. Although Lots 5 and 6 are somewhat
higher than the remaining four lots, all the lots appear to be lower in elevation
than the street upon which they front. Lot 5 has a minimum depth of approximately
93 feet and.a maximum depth of approximately 157 feet. Lot 6 has an average depth
of about 157 feet. The remaining four lots have average depths of about 89 feet.
Although Lots 5 and 6 have greater depths and the average elevations are higher
than in the case of the remaining lots, the Committee is of the opinion that
because of the topography, lotting in the plan might, if anything, have been larger
than was actually permitted. The Committee is of the opinion that the proposed
attempt to "squeeze" another lot into this six-lot plan would not, under the
circumstances, be reasonable and would not contribute to the proper and orderly
development of the Municipality.
It is, therefore, the decision of the Land Division Committee that consent be
REFUSED to application Number A.79.14.
Pedersen: Resolved that York Regional Land Division Committee Report No. 3,
Stewart: Clemente Tucciarone and Louis B. Taylor, A.79.14 dated December 21st,
1979 be accepted.

December 4, 1979
Oak Ridges Excavating Limited
Ridge Road, R.R. #2, Aurora, Ontario L4G 3G8
Part Block 21, Plan 132, Rown 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 Oak Ridges Excavating Limited, for consent to a
grant of right-of-way marked "A" on a sketch attached as Appendix No. 1.
Before: R.E. Preston {Chairman pro tern), w. Bales, E. Chester, G.R. Gregory, Mrs.
M.I. Smithyes, being a quorum of the Land Division Committee on Tuesday, November
27th' 1979.
Tom McPherson, Solicitor, appeared at the Hearing. J.F. Bentley, president of Oak
Ridges Excavating Limited, was also present.
The owner seeks consent to a grant of right-of-way marked "A" on the attached
sketch, for residential access purposes, in favour of the parcels shown as 1, 2, 3
and 4 on the attached sketch. The owner's total holding consists of Part A and
Part B on the attached sketch. The subject land is vacant. There is an existing
dwelling located on the owner's land.
In reaching a decision, the Committee had regard to all of the matters set out in
subsection 4 of section 33 of The Planning Act and to the written and oral
submissions and comments made at the Hearing.
The Committee notes that the proposed right-of-way will be located partly on Lots
1, 2 and 3 and will serve not only the purchasers of these lots, but also the
purchaser of Lot 4. Since the owner presently owns all of these lots, a single
consent only is required of this Committee.
On the basis of the evidence before it, the Committee concludes the proposal
conforms to the Official Plan and the Zoning By-law.
COUNCIL MEETING ••• MONDAY, JANUARY 7th, 1980

REPORTS OF COMMITTEES
The Committee is satisfied the grant of right-of-way is necessary for the orderly
development and use of the adjoining land. The Committee is further satisfied that
such right-of-way will not adversely affect the established pattern of development
in the area.
It is, therefore, the decision of the Land Division Committee that consent be
Granted to Application Number A.79.19, upon fulfillment of the following
conditions:
1. Payment of all taxes, to the date of this decision, to the Town of Aurora;
2. Payment of an Administration Fee of $100.00, to the Town of Aurora;
3. Submission to the Secretary-Treasurer, of a fully executed document, in
duplicate, in respect of the proposed right-of-way;

application as submitted;
5. Fulfillment of Conditions 1, 2, 3 and 4 not later than October 24, 1980.
Note: A Certificate pursuant to subsection 20 of section 42 of The Planning Act
cannot be given until all conditions of consent have been fulfilled (subsection 12
of section 29 of The Planning Act (R.S.O. 1970, c.349) as amended).
