Research and Designation Patsy Poulin reported on a meeting held Monday, March 9th, 1981 at which various possibilities for research were reviewed with outgoing L.A.C.A.C. secretary John Mcintyre. It was recommended that an inventory be undertaken to identify additional properties in both the urban and rural parts of Town which might be suitable for recognition as Town of Aurora "heritage properties". It was agreed that a Sub-Committee be established to meet before the next regular L.A.C.A.C. meeting to begin the process of taking an inventory of properties. Dr. L. Oliver reported on the application for an Experience 1981 grant which was submitted on March 14, 1981.

Planning and Development Dr. Oliver reported on the status of the proposal submitted to the Region of York Planning Department for a "site study" in the Commercial Core of the Town. It was agreed that, since the objection of two local residents had been dealt with, L.A.C.A.C. should resubmit the proposal for a study of "Selected Sites in the Commercial Core". It was reported that a meeting had been held with the Downtown Business Association to discuss common concerns affecting the commercial core. Dr. Oliver reported that a request had been made for an application to' Heritage Canada's Main Street Program. Various proposed initiatives related to the L.A.C.A.C. Sub-Committee on Planning and Development were discussed. 3. Publications and Promotion Paul Bennett reported on the status of the proposed Plaquing Program. It was agreed that once the Committee's budget has been approved that a "top priority" be assigned to proceeding with the program as recommended by L.A.C.A.C. at its October 22, 1980 meeting. It was recommended that the possibility of applying to the Aurora Cultural Fund for financial support be explored further. Members also agreed that the Aurora Historical Society also be contacted concerning their interest in historical plaquing. A proposal was made to explore the possibility of initiating a L.A.C.A.C. news column in the local newspapers. Dr. Oliver suggested that the Committee consider starting a "lecture series" on issues related to heritage conservation and community planning. 4. Budget The Committee considered various possibilities in the area of budget allocation. Common agreement was reached on a tentative program of budgetary expenditure. The meeting adjourned at 10:15 p.m. Next L.A.C.A.C. meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, April 22, 1981 at 7:30 p.m. Ostick: Buck: Resolved that the Local Architectural Conservation Advisory Committee Report# 39 dated March 18th, 1981 be discussed item by item and accepted. CARRIED Report # 40 -Economic Development Committee ••• Various Matters The Committee respectfully submits the following: A meeting of the Economic Development Committee was held on Wednesday, March 18th, 1981 at 7:30 p.m. at the Administration Centre. Present Were: Councillor Earl Stewart, Chairman, Councillors Elinora Stoddart and Tim Jones. Private Citizen Klaus Wehrenberg also sat in during the meeting. (' . ..,__ COUNCIL MEETING ••• MONDAY, APRIL 6th, 1981 -15- REPORTS OF COMMITTEES: (continued) Report # 40 -Economic Development Committee ••• Various Matters (continued) 1. Review of December 17th, 1980 Meeting (a) Memo from Tim Jones of December 15, 1980 Some information regarding increased Industrial assessment has been compiled but not sufficient for a press release at this time. Work on this matter will continue. (b) Registering of All New Commercial and Industrial Firms A report from the Treasurer was received on this subject (see letter# 3-112 -January 20, 1981). Discussion took place as to whether a registration fee should be charged or whether a bond should be put up by the firms at the time of registering. It is recommended that the Clerk Administrator check into the legality of enforcing such registration and report back to Council. 2. Advertising Industrial Lands It was decided that the Chairman should place the usual one inch (1") column wide advertisement in the Globe and the Star alternately to stimulate sales of the Town owned Industrial lands. 3. Servicing the Industrial Park # 2 The Committee requests that a report from Reid and Associates as to the cost of servicing the first 20 acres versus the entire 2,800 feet of roadway be received prior to any final recommendation being made to Council by the Committee. 4. By-Law re: Non-Conforming Residential Uses Within the Industrial Zoned Areas of Aurora The Committee requests that Council ask the Clerk Administrator to report to Council on the feasibility of implementing such a by-law. Attached is a letter from the Town of East Gwillimbury stating some of the conditions set out in their restricted area by-law 74-30. 5. Name of Parkway for Entire Length The Committee would recommend to Council that whatever name is given to the Parkway through the Industrial land, both north and south of Wellington Street East, be one name only from Yonge Street south, easterly along the Vandorf Sideroad, northerly to Wellington Street East and coninue north as the road is completed to the St. John's Sideroad and thence westerly to Yonge Street North. The Committee feels that a major north south artery such as this would create confusion if the name were changed at Wellington Street. 6. Budget for 1g81 7. The Committee reviewed the 1981 budget and made no change except for a $300.00 reduction in the overall budget. New Business (a) Level Crossing from Industrial Park # 2 Roadway to Batson Drive The Committee would recommend a pedestrian walkway only at this location but as an alternative would suggest negotiations be commenced with the property owner to the north of the Valhalla subdivision to extend Old Yonge Street easterly through the Revlis property over the railway via a level crossing to the proposed Industrial roadway. COUNCIL MEETING ••• MONDAY, APRIL 6th, 1981 -16- REPORTS OF COMMITTEES: (continued) Report # 40 -Economic Development Committee ••• Various Matters (continued) 7.

Warren Jackson 47 Yongehurst Road, Richmond Hill, Ontario and R.R. # 1, Schomberg, Ontario Block A, Plan M-42, Town 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 Domenico Tortorici and G. Warren Jackson, for consent to convey the subject land marked "A" on a sketch attached as appendix Number 1. BEFORE: R.E. Preston (Chairman), w. Bales, J.D. Brookes, E. Chester, G.R. Gregory, J.S. Hicks, Mrs. J. Paton, L.T. Wainwright, being a quorum of the Land Division Committee on Tuesday, February 17, 1981. Michael Welch, of Montague Pound Associates Limited, appeared at the Hearing. The owners seek consent to convey the subject 1 and marked "A" on the attached sketch, for commercial purposes, to the owner of land abutting on the south and east, to be taken into the same title. No additional lot would be created by this application. The owners would retain the land marked "B", for non farm-related rural residential purposes. The subject land is vacant. There is an existing barn, which will be demolished, located on the land to be retained. The application was heard in conjunction with Application Number 421.80.A by the same owners. COUNCIL MEETING ••• MONDAY, APRIL 6th, 1981 -17- REPORTS OF COMMITTEES: (continued) Report # 41 -York Regional Land Division Committee -Application Number 422.80.A - (Tortorici and Jackson) (continued) 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 shown as Block A on Registered Plan M-42 and is designated as "Rura 1" on the approved Offici a 1 Plan which pro vi des that the predominant use of such lands shall be for agricultural, forestry and activities connected with the conservation of soil and wildlife. Other uses permitted are those considered necessary in a rural area and accessory or subordinate to the previously mentioned major uses. Farm residences and shall be permitted. uses related to and commercial uses and other dwellings accessory to a permitted use in the rural area Small scale commercial uses such as farm implement or supply serving the surrounding agricultural area and limited the travelling public may also be permitted. The land is zoned "0" -Open Space by approved By-Law 2152-77 which permits public, semi-public and private uses such as athletic fields, community centres, public parks, swimming pools and tennis courts, stables, arenas, equestrian centres and associated fields, but does not permit residential uses. The Committee notes that the Town Council has passed By-Law 2213078 which zones the owners' land as "0" -Major Open Space and permits the same uses permitted under By-Law 2152-77. By-Law 2213-78 has not yet been approved by the Municipal Board. The Committee also notes that the subject land is to be conveyed to the owner of Block B to the east, for "commercia 1 uses". However, Block B is presently zoned "R" -Rural and commercial uses are not permitted. The Regional Health Department advises that due to snow and weather conditions, access to the owners' land is impossible and assessment of its suitability for residential purposes will have to wait until spring, when weather conditions improve. The Committee concludes that the proposal does not conform to the provisions of the Official Plan, or to the Zoning By-Law. Although the locations of land use designations in Official Plans are purposely intended to be somewhat flexible, except where the boundaries coincide with roads, railways, etc., the Committee believes that in this subdivision, the demarcation between the estate residential designation and the rural designation is quite definitely intended to coincide with the westerly boundary of Block A. It was the intention of the original subdivider that Block A be used by the owners of individual lots in the subdivision for the stabling and care of horses. In fact, a building for that purpose was constructed and presently exists on the proposed remainder. However, because of financial difficulties, the original proposals were never carrried through to completion and the registered plan was subsequently sold to others. Block A was then sold to the present owners in the subject application. Because of the non-conformity with the Official Plan and the Zoning By-Law and because of concern expressed by an adjacent property owner about apparent non-performance with regard to matters set out in the original subdivision agreement, the Committee is of the opionion the application is at best, premature. In addition, conveyance of the subject land at this time could be prejudicial to the eventual development of the proposed remainder for residential purposes. A substantial part of the remainder is low-lying and in the absence of approval of the Regional Health Department, it is not known at this time whether all or part of the subject land might be required on which to locate a well or a tile field.
