REPORTS OF COMMITTEES (continued)
The owner seeks to convey the subject 1 and marked "A" on the attached sketch, for
residential purposes and retain the land marked "B", for residential purposes. The
subject land is vacant. There is an existing dwelling located on the land to be
retained.
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 Council has passed By-law 2298-79 to facilitate the
conveyance, and the use of the resulting lots for the intended purposes. The By-law
has not yet been approved by the Municipal Board.
On the basis of the evidence before it, the Committee concludes the proposal conforms
to the Official Plan and will conform to the Zoning By-law if amending By-law 2298-79
is approved by the Municipal Board.
The Committee is satisfied the subject land is compatible with the established pattern
of development in the area and the conveyance will not be detrimental to the public
interest. The proposal is considered to be infilling. The Committee is further
satisfied the shape and dimensions of the resulting lots are adequate and the lots are
suitable for the intended purposes.
In the opinion of the Committee, a plan of subdivision approved under section 33 of
The Planning Act is not required in this instance.
It is therefore, the decision of the Land Division Committee that consent be Granted
to Application number A.79.16, Shirley Elizabeth Thompson, upon fulfillment of the
following conditions:-
1. Payment of all taxes to the date of this decision, to the Town of Aurora;

8. Submission to the Secretary-Treasurer of a fully executed deed, in duplicate,

conformity with the requirements of the By-law, as amended;
10. Fulfillment of conditons 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 not later than September
22, 1980.
