DELEGATIONS:
1. Delegation-Official Plan Amendment #12
Mr. D. Cox appeared before Council representing a group of citizens objecting to
Official Plan Amendment #12. Mr. Cox outlined the three alternatives as follows
that the group feels should be given consideration:
(1) That the land be zoned for multiple residential use, i.e., condominiums,
apartments or town houses, or senior citizens' housing. This, contrary to the
opinion expressed last Wednesday, could be a sound financial proposition, both
for the developer and for the town.
The assessment derived from this type of development would be considerably in
excess of that derived from that proposed in the amendment. There is a
definite need for this type of housing, as illustrated by the sale of the
condominium built recently on Yonge Street which is located in a far less
attractive setting.
New industry moving to town requires far more rental properties than are at
present available in the town.

COUNCIL MEETING ••• MONDAY, JANUARY 21st, 1980

DELEGATIONS: {continued)
(2) That a Motel-Hotel-Theatre building be avoided in this section of the town.
It could conceivably cost the town money, for studies (there have been two
made for Newmarket and Aurora) indicate that a motel is not feasible at this
time. Certainly, if the study had been positive, the one planned for
Newmarket would have been completed by now. If one is built in Aurora, it
will have to rely on a tavern/bar to provide revenue and another Black Hawk
will probably result. Aurora does not need this with its attendant garbage,
noise pollution and excessive traffic problems.
If a Hotel must be built, it would be kept adjacent to the industries it would
serve which are located in the south end and where land is available. This
location would be closer to Toronto, Hamilton, etc. from where, we are sure,
nearly all the traffic using such facilities will originate.
(3) That a long range plan is far superior to a short-sighted decision which can
only result in a collection of buildings which will become an eyesore of the
future.
West:
Stewart:
Resolved that Letter #2-123 be received and Mr. Cox be kept informed as
to developments in this regard.

Pt. Lot 14, Cone. 2, Bayview Avenue and Dr. Loukras property, Pt. Lot 15, Cone.
2, Bayview Avenue.
Mr. Karl Stevens of Stevens & Associates Ltd., Planning Architects, Urban
Design Research, appeared before the Committee to explain the proposed Estate
Lot Subdivision consisting of 30 Lots ranging in size from 2 to 5 acres {0.8
ha. to 2.02 ha.). Each lot would be serviced by an individual well and a
private septic tank and tile bed system. To facilitate this development, an
Official Plan Amendment and a Re-zoning to Estate Residential would be
necessary.
The Committee recommends Mrs. s. Seibert liaise with Mr. Stevens and prepare a
preliminary report and recommendation for Council, along the Estate Residential
Guidelines, as adopted by the Town of Aurora.
2. Re: Dical Investments Ltd. -Pts. of West 1/2 of Lots 11 and 12, Cone. 2
E.Y.S. North Side Bloomington Road, East and Bayview, proposed Estate
Residential.
Ms. Pat Parker from R.E. Winter & Associates Ltd. appeared before the Committee
and explained the proposal consisting of 48 Estate Residential lots, a minimum
of 2 acres each {0.8 ha.), to be serviced with individual wells and private
septic tank systems. The lands are presently designated Rural on the Interim
Official Plan, and the present zoning of the lands is also Rural.
An Official Plan Amendment and a Re-zoning will therefore be necessary prior to
the development.
The Committee recommends Mrs. S. Seibert meet with Ms. Parker and prepare a
preliminary report for Council's consideration, keeping in mind the "Estate
Residential Guidelines''.

Report #8 -York Regional Land Division Committee -A.79.17
Date: December 13, 1979
Name: Dical Investments Limited
Address: 1769 Danforth Avenue, Toronto, Ontario M4C lJl
Part Lots 11 and 12, Concession 2, Town of Aurora Property:
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 Dical Investments Limited, for consent to convey
the subject 1 and marked "A" on a sketch attached as Appendix No. 1.
Before: R.E. Preston (Chairman pro tern), w. Bales, G.R. Gregory, being a quorum of
the Land Division Committee on Tuesday, December 11, 1979.
Ms. Susan Plamondon, of Stiver, Vale, Solicitors and authorized agents, appeared at
the Hearing. Mr. Guy Di Blasi, one of the principals in Dical Investments Limited,
as also present.
The owner seeks consent to convey the subject 1 and marked "A" on the attached
sketch, for farm-related rural residential purposes and retain the land marked "B"
for agricultural purposes. The subject land is vacant. There is an existing
dwelling, a barn, a shed, and a garage 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 owner's land is designated as "Rural" by the approved Official Plan, which
provides that the predominant use of the land shall be for agriculture. Other uses
permitted are those considered necessary in the rural area. The general policy of
the Plan is to prevent urban development in the rural area. Rural non-farm
residential may be permitted but only on a limited scale and shall be in accordance
with the policies of the Plan for estate residential.
Estate residential policies provide that development shall only occur on the basis
of retaining the rural character of the landscape. Non-farm residential
development on prime agricultural land shall not be permitted. Where applications
arise for residential development in the rural area, they shall be discouraged
except in areas of rolling topography, adjacent to established wooded areas and
areas of scenic quality. Residential development in the rural area shall be
serviced by private septic tanks and tile beds approved by the Regional Medical
Officer of Health and shall be serviced by a private well for each lot.
Consents will generally be discouraged. Regard shall be had to section 33 (4} of
The Planning Act and to the following:
( 1 )
(2}
Good agricultural land is to be preserved. Scattered isolated residential
development throughout the Municipality should be prevented.
Non-agricultural development should be encouraged to locate as infilling in or
adjacent to existing groups of houses. Ribbon residential development along
major roads should be considered subject to the following criteria:-

COUNCIL MEETING ••• MONDAY, JANUARY 21st, 1980

REPORTS OF COMMITTEES (continued)
(a) the application intends to convey a parcel to a son or daughter who
proposes to live on the lot and the grantor and grantee have signed a
declaration regarding the use of the proposed lot and that the relatives'
labour is essential to the farm operation;
(b) the lot is to be used as a retirement lot for a long-time resident
fa~r.
The land is zoned "Rural" by Bylaw 2142-77, which requires minimum lot areas of 25
acres and mini mum frontages of 600 feet.
Although the evidence is that the owner's land is not actively farmed and that
attempts to grow a vegetable garden on an adjacent lot have been virtually
non-productive, the Committee is advised by the Ministry of Agriculture and Food
that approximately 70 per cent of the owner's land is Class I land and the
remainder is Class II. The Committee is of the opinion the land has high
agricultural capability, if properly managed.
The Committee concludes the application does not conform to the Official Plan,
which requires that good agricultural land be preserved. Further, conveyance of
the subject land for residential purposes would conflict with the policy that
scattered isolated residential development be prevented. The Plan requires
non-agricultural development to be located as infilling in or adjacent to existing
groups of houses. Ribbon residential development along major roads is to be
discouraged.
The subject land is to be conveyed to the sole shareholder in the owner/company,
for residential purposes. The application would not, therefore, conform to the
consent policies for rural areas, which requires that the lot be conveyed to a son
or daughter who proposes to live on the lot. Further, there is no evidence that
either the proposed grantor or the grantee has signed declarations regarding the
use of the proposed 1 ot and that the re 1 at i ves' 1 abour is essential to the farm
operation.
Additionally, no evidence has been submitted that the lot is to be used as a
retirement lot for a long-time resident farmer. Reportedly, the land was purchased
by the present owner/company in November, 1978.
The subject land does not conform to the requirements of the Zoning Bylaw, which
requires minimum areas of 25 acres and minimum frontages of 600 feet. No evidence
has been submitted that an amendment has been passed to facilitate the use of the
subject land for residential purposes, or that Council would support such an
application, if made.
The Committee notes the subject land is located on the better part of the farm
holding and in the opinion of the Committee, its conveyance would tend to increase
the difficulty of farming the remaining parcel.
It is, therefore, the decision of the Land Division Committee that consent be
REFUSED to Application Number A.79.17.

REPORTS OF COMMITTEES: (continued)
In The Matter Of an application by Dical Investments Limited, for consent to convey
the subject land marked "A" on a sketch attached as Appendix No. 1.
Before: R.E. Preston (Chairman pro tern), W. Bales, G.R. Gregory, being a quorum of
the Land Division Committee on Tuesday, December 11, 1979.
Ms. Susan Plomondon, of Stiver, Vale, Solicitors and authorized agents, appeared at
the Hearing. Mr. Guy Di Blasi, one of the principals in Dical Investments Limited,
was also present.
The owner seeks consent to convey the subject land marked "A" on the attached
sketch for farm-related rural residential purposes, to the owner of land abutting
on the east to be taken into the same title. No additional lot would be created by
this application. The owner would retain the land marked "B" for agricultural
purposes. The subject land is vacant. There is an existing dwelling, a barn, a
garage, and a shed located on the land to be retained. The application was heard
in conjunction with Application Number A.79.17, by the same owner.
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 owner's land is designated as "Rural" by the approved Official Plan, which
provides that the predominant use of the land shall be for agriculture. Other uses

Consents will generally be discouraged. Regard shall be had to section 33 (4) of
The Planning Act and to the following:-
(1) Good agricultural land is to be preserved. Scattered isolated residential
development throughout the Municipality should be prevented.
(2) Non-agricultural development should be encouraged to locate as infilling in or
adjacent to existing groups of houses. Ribbon residential development along
major roads should be discouraged.
(3) Conveyances should be considered subject to the following criteria:
(a) the application intends to convey a parcel to a son or daughter who
proposes to live on the lot and the grantor and grantee have signed a
declaration regarding the use of the proposed lot and that the relatives'
labour is essential to the farm operation;
(b) the lot is to be used as a retirement lot for a long-time resident
farmer.
The land is zoned "Rural" by Bylaw 2142-77 which requires minimum lot areas of 25
acres and minimum frontages of 600 feet.
The Committee is advised the subject land is to be conveyed to an existing small
parcel of land abutting on the east, to form a larger lot for residential purposes.
The resulting parcel would have frontage of approximately 151 feet by a depth of
approximately 645 feet - a depth to frontage ratio of approximately 4.27:1.

REPORTS OF COMMITTEES (continued)
Although the evidence is that the owner's land is not actively farmed and that
attempts to grow a vegetable garden on an adjacent lot have been virtually
non-productive, the Committee is advised by the Ministry of Agriculture and Food
that according to the Canada Land Inventory, approximately 70 per cent of the
owner's land is Class I land and the remainder is Class II. The Committee is of
the opinion the land has high agricultural capability, if properly managed.
The Committee concludes the application does not conform to the Official Plan,
which requires that good agricultural land be preserved. Further, conveyance of

scattered isolated residential development be prevented. The Plan requires
non-agricultural development to be located as infilling in or adjacent to existing

The subject land is to be conveyed to an adjacent owner, reportedly for residential

for rural areas, which requires that the lot be conveyed to a son or daughter who
