Recreation Plan now underway, could affect his proposal, in relation to the
park and school locations.
3. Letters 9-28, 9-27 and 9-47 -Proposed Plan of Subdivision, Part Lots 71 and
72, Cone. I, WYS, Official Plan Amendment and Rezoning Application (Extension

REPORTS OF COMMITTEES (continued)
Letter 9-30 -Committee of Adjustment, A.5.80, Lot 53, R.P. #475, John E.
Sunnerton, 58 Tecumseh Drive. This application was previously commented on by
Town Building Department.
4. Letter 8-31 -Region comments regarding Town of Aurora comments on Official
Plan Amendment #11, Aurora Country Estates, Part Lot 75, Cone. I, WYS.
D. Land Division:
1. Letter 9-59 -Application #146.80.A, Walter Routledge
Part Lots 15 and 16, Cone. 2 and 3, EYS.
The Committee recommends this application be approved and the usual fee shall
apply.
2. Letter 9-53 -Application #139.80.A, Harry and Jane Strawbridge
Part Lot 77, Cone. I, EYS
This proposed application was discussed by the Planning & Development Committee
at a meeting on March 5th, 1980.
The Committee recommended to Council and Council on March 17th adopted said
recommendation that the application be refused.
The Official Land Division application was reviewed by the Committee on May 7th
and the Committee still feels the severance should not be permitted for the
following reasons. The proposal does not conform to the Interim Official Plan:
i) As per Section 10.6.C (ii) non-Agriculture Development should be as
"infilling''.
ii) As per Section 10.6.C (iii), severances for non-Farming Residential Uses
should be discouraged.
The Committee also feels the future of the adjacent Town owned lands, and
Alliance lands should be examined in relation to the subject proposal.
A By-law Amendment would be necessary to facilitate the proposed severance, as
both parcels would not conform to the 25 acre minimum requirement in a Rural
Zone. The lands to be retained and the land to be conveyed would constitute
9.15 acres, and 10.99 acres respectfully.
3. Application #174.80.A; Part Lot "E", R.P. #36
Irwin Avenue; Owen and Margaret Barr
This application is to facilitate the separating of two dwellings on the same
lot for conveyance purposes. The two resulting lots will only have 11.88
metres (38.98 feet) at 13.38 metres (43.89 feet) of frontage.
The new proposed Zoning By-1 aw #2213-78 wi 11 require a mini mum of 50 feet
frontage per lot.
The Committee recommends the Application be approved and the necessary By-law
Amendment be enacted regarding the lesser frontages.
The usual severance fees will apply.
E. Recommendations:
1. Memo from Tom Van to R.J. Harrington regarding a one week course on heating and
air conditioning. The Committee feels this course would be beneficial to the
Building Department in relation to heating drawings and calculations submitted
by contractors when applying for Building Permits.
The Committee recommends Mr. Van attend the course and the cost of $200 as
required, be paid by the Town of Aurora.

2. Old Park Holdings, Proposed Industrial Subdivision, South Side of Wellington
Street, East, Part Lot 80, Cone. 1, EYS.
Mr. John Dovaston, P.Eng., appeared for the Owners and explained a proposed
draft Industrial Subdivision Plan.
The Committee recommends the owners officially submit a Draft Plan of
Subdivision simultaneously, to the Region, and the Town of Aurora.
3. Theme Mall, Part Lot 83, Cone. 1, WYS, Corner of Orchard Heights Boulevard and
Yonge Street
The Committee perused a revised Site Plan and would recommend it be referred to
the Town Technical Committee for a report.
4. New Town Zoning By-law #2213-78
The Committee recommends the new By-law be referred to the next Council in
Committee meeting, for discussion, and then to proceed to the next Council
meeting for Third Reading.
The Committee discussed a possible circulation procedure which would entail the
delivery of a copy of the By-law in newspaper form to each household in the
municipality.
The Committee also discussed the feasibility of holding drop-in sessions at the
Town Municipal Offices where members of the public could come to discuss the
effects of the By-law on their properties, with town staff and or Council. The
purpose of this procedure would be to make the town aware of any errors in the
zoning maps, or suggestions for revisions.
The Council then could consider amendments they would deem necessary, prior to
submission of the By-law to the O.M.B. It is hoped this procedure would reduce
the length of an O.M.B. Hearing.
The next Planning & Development Committee meeting will be held Wednesday, June 4th
