REPORTS OF COMMITTEES:
Report # 7 -Economic Development Committee ••• Various Matters
The Committee respectfully submits the following:
A meeting of the Economic Development Committee was held on December 17th, 1980 at
7:00 p.m. in the Administration Centre.
Present Were: Chairman Earl Stewart and Councillors Tim Jones and Betty
Pedersen. Councillor Elinora Stoddart sent her regrets.
1. Review of November 20th Meeting Report:
(a) Charging Interest on Services Reserve Loan
The present Committee or the previous members of the Economic
Development Committees were never advised that interest would be
charged on the loan from services reserve. The Committee would request
that Council investigate this matter to determine if interest is to be
charged and at what rate.
(b) Purchase of 20 Acres of Industrial Lands
As two (2) acres of the Industrial Park # 2 have been sold and as funds
are available in the Industrial Account, the Committee would recommend
that after the $381,000.00 has been repaid to the Services Reserve
Account that the purchase of the 20 acres be completed as soon as
possible.
(c) Additional parking for Hotel Aurora
As the addition of a banquet facility in the Hotel Aurora would
increase Aurora's potential for attracting conventions which would in
turn benefit the existing and future merchants of Aurora and the
economy of the community, the Committee would recommend that Council
give serious consideration to allowing a 50 car parking lot to be built
at the expense of the owner of the Hotel Aurora within the Town owned
park lands if no other means of providing the extra parking facilities
can be found by the owner as the Committee feels that an elevated
parking garage at the rear of the Hotel would be aesthetically
detrimental to the area.
2. Memo from Councillor Tim Jones
3.
4.
Councillor Jones' memo to the Committee was reviewed and it was agreed that
the Committee should, with the co-operation of the media, produce a map
showing the location of all the new and existing industries and also show
the location of the vacant Industrial lands within the Town. Details of the
type of goods being manufactured by the individual industries, number of
present or future employees could also be made known.
The total increased assessment or taxes provided by all of these new
industries would also be of interest to the citizens of Aurora.
The Committee will proceed to produce this information during the new year.
The Chairman complimented Councillor Jones for his suggestion.
Review of Industrial Account
The Committee reviewed a statement of the Industrial Park Account dated
December 17th, 1980. A copy of this statement is included with this
report.
Registering of all new Commercial Businesses and Industrial Firms
As some concern has been evident that transient firms or individuals have
been setting up businesses for short periods or in some cases firms that do
not conform with local zoning by-laws have established operations in Aurora
and that these firms or individuals through the nature of their operations
could create hazards from a fire or safety standpoint, and whereas the Town
has no way of knowing of the existance of these establishments or businesses
until after they have become established and/or created a problem, the
Committee would recommend that Council consider the feasibility of making it
mandatory for all new businesses or firms to register with the Town of
Aurora before they occupy any premises within the Town to operate any type
of business or industry.

The Committee would further recommend to Council that staff be consulted as
to the administration costs of this registration and if a fee were to be
charged as to whether any of the said fee should be refundable to the said
registrant to ensure that they return and notify the Town when they are
leaving Aurora.
It was also suggested that the Hydro could be consulted to see if they could
co-operate by not supplying hydro until the individual or firm shows proof
of this registration
1981 Economic Development Seminars
The Committee recommends to Council that Councillor Stewart be allowed to
attend the three (3) day seminar at the University of Waterloo on either May
31 -June 2, 1981 or June 4 -6, 1981 and tuition fee of $350.00 and the
accommodation costs of $130.00 be allowed.

REPORTS OF COMMITTEES: (continued)
Re ort # 8-York Re ional Land Division Committee-336.80.A-Dical Investments
Limited continued
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.
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 1 and is designated as "Rura 1" by the approved Offici a 1 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 no 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} Good agricultural land is to be preserved. Scattered, isolated residential
development throughout the Municipality should be prevented.
(2} Non-agricultural development should be
adjacent to existing groups of houses.
major roads should be discouraged.
encouraged to locate as infilling in or
Ribbon residential development along
(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 a relative's
labour is essential to the farm operations;
(b) The lot is to be used as a retirement lot for a long-time resident
farmer.
The land is zoned "Rural" by By-Law 2142-77 which requires minimum lot areas of 25
acres and minimum frontages of 600 feet.
The Committee is ad vi sed that the subject 1 and ;~-to be conveyed to the owners of
an existing small parcel of land abutting on the east, to form a larger lot for
residential purposes. The resulting parcel would have a frontage of approximately
151 feet by a total depth of approximately 421 feet.
The evidence is that one of the owners of the parcel abutting on the east to whom
the subject land is to be conveyed, is the principal shareholder in the
owner/company in the subject application. The existing adjoining parcel has a
frontage of approximately 151 feet by a depth of approximately 86 feet and in its
present form, is not eligible for a building permit for residential purposes.
,,
COUNCIL MEETING ••• MONDAY, JANUARY 12th, 1981

REPORTS OF COMMITTEES: (continued)
Committee -336.80.A -Dical Investments
The owner/company has a total holding of approximately 245 acres, having frontage
on the west side of Leslie Street (the general location of the subject land) and on
the east side of Bayview Avenue, and having flankage on the north side of
Bloomington Road. The property is bisected at approximately its mid-point by an
Ontario Hydro power line. The land lying west of the Hydro line is the subject of
a proposed estate residential plan of subdivision by the owner/company which
apparently has been given some form of approval by the Municipality. The land
lying east of the Hydro line will continue to be used for agricultural purposes, at
least for the foreseeable future. There is an existing farm dwelling, a barn and
several sheds located in the easterly part near the Leslie Street frontage.
Reportedly, the dwelling is occupied by a farm manager employed by the
owner/company. The barn, which is located approximately 80 feet from the southwest
corner of the subject land, is used for livestock purposes. At the present time,
about 40 sheep are kept on the land.
The Committee is advised that the principal in the owner/company, Mr. Guy DiBlasi,
wishes to convey the subject land to the adjoing lot to the east which is owned by
he and his wife, on which to build a single family residence for their own use.
According to Mr. DiBlasi, although Dical Investments Limited is not in the farming
business, he whishes to increase the number of livestock on the easterly half of
the holding. A farm manager is employed to look after the farm and is resident on
the land. However, Mr. DiBlasi wishes to construct and occupy a dwelling on the
adjoing land so that he can be near the farming operation.
The Ministry of Agriculture and Food advises the land is Class 1 land and the
existing lot would not meet the Code of Practice Separation Distance between
non-farm residential and livestock operations.
Notwithstanding the interest of the principal shareholder of the owner/company in
farming, the Committee is of the opinion the owner is not a farmer within the
meaning intended by the Official Plan. Bearing in mind the specific requirements
of the Plan, which provides that non-farm residential development on prime
agricultural land shall not be permitted and that good agricultrual land is to be
preserved and scattered isolated residential development throughout the
Municipality should be prevented and that ribbon residential development along
major roads should be discouraged, the Committee concludes that the use of the
subject land for residential purposes would be contrary to the intent of the
Official Plan.
Although the existing parcel to the east presently exists, it cannot be used for
residential purposes.
The Committee is of the view the easterly half of the owner/company's holding that
is to be retained for farming purposes, should not be encumbered by an adjacent,
separate residential lot which could inhibit the use of the farm land for livestock
operations. Instead, the existing small parcel to the east owned by the principal
shareholder could be joined to the larger holding and a more suitable residential
lot located in the westerly half of the holding, where the estate residential plan
of subdivision has been given tentative approval by the Municipality.
The Committee is of the opinion that creation of a residential lot as proposed,
would be detrimental to the use of the remaining land for agricultural purposes and
would not contribute to the orderly development of the Municipality.
It is, therefore, the decision of the Land Division Committee that consent be
REFUSED to Application Number 336.80.A.

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 Mary Perryment, for consent to convey the
subject 1 and marked "A" on a sketch attached as Appendix Number 1.

Mrs. J. Paton, Mrs. M.I. Smithyes, J.R. Southgate, W.J. Taylor, being a quorum of
the Land Division Committee on Tuesday, November 25, 1980.
John R. Peddle, Jr. appeared as solicitor for the owner. Mrs. Perryment was also
present.
The .owner seeks consent to convey the subject land marked "A" on the attached
sketch, for residential purposes, to the owner of land abutting on the south, 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 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.
On the basis of the evidence before it, the Committee concludes the proposal
conforms to the Official Plan and the Zoning By-Law.
The Committee is satisfied the proposal is compatible with the established pattern
of development in the area and the conveyance will not be detrimental to the public
interest. 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 325.80.A upon fulfilment of the following conditions:
1. Payment of all realty 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 deed, in duplicate,
conveying the subject land only to the owner of land abutting on the south,
reportedly, Ronald Bonello;
4. Submission to the Secretary-Treasurer, of three white prints of a deposited
Plan of Reference of the subject land, which conforms substantially with the
application as submitted:
5. Fulfilment of Conditions 1, 2, 3 and 4 not later than OCTOBER 19, 1981.
Subsection 4 of Section 29 of The Planning Act applies to any subsequent conveyance
or transaction of or in relation to the land that is the subject of this consent.
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).
