COUNCIL MEETING ••• MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 21st, 1981

REPORTS OF COMMITTEES
Report# 104-Mayor's Report ••• 41 and 43 Yonge Street North
Councillor West in the Chair.
The following is respectfully submitted:
On Friday, September 11th, 1981, I met with Mr. Robert Truman, Father Paul
r~cCarthy, of Our Lady of Grace Church, Mrs. Patsy Poulin, Chairman of Aurora
L.A. C. A. C., and Mr. George Macri, President of J.G. Cordone Investments Limited.
During the course of the meeting Mr. Macri advised that the Catholic Church has
purchased both 41 and 43 Yonge Street North. The purpose of the purchase is to
allow the church to build a new church for a growing congregation.
The property known as 43 Yonge Street is an apartment building which will
ultimately be demolished. The property known as 41 Yonge Street is the location of
the "Doan Castle". A demolition permit has been applied for 41 Yonge Street and
granted; however, the attached letter explains that it will not be used if another
alternative can be identified.
The deal has been accepted by the Vendor and will close by January 1st with
possession to be possession of vacant land.
Because of the historical significance of the "Dean Castle", Mr. Macri,
representing the Vendor, and Father Paul McCarthy, representing the Purchaser, have
offered the building, "Dean Castle", to the Town of Aurora to be maintained by the
Town as a historically significant property.
Such an offer, in its acceptance, would require that the building be relocated to a
new location. The cost of such relocation and a new foundation would most likely
accrue to the Town of Aurora.
During the course of the meeting, I suggested that Sheppard's Bush property or the
Hilliary House property might be suitable locations for "Doan Castle". I based
this on the premise that the Town of Aurora would be reluctant to purchase a new
piece of land for such a relocation and that it would be more desirable to use a
piece of land already either pub 1 i c ly owned or owned by a pub 1 i c agency.
In discussion with Councillor West, I understand that the cost of relocating the
"Dean Castle" could range between $3,000.00 to $5,000.00.
I believe that it is an important part of Aurora's heritage to accept the offer of
"Dean Castle" into public ownership and that we should advise the present owners of
this desire. I also believe that we should endeavour to find a suitable property,
either of the aforementioned or any other suitable alternative, to be the new
site. Furthermore, it is important that any potential grants for the relocation of

at the north-west corner, the cul-de-sac has been shortened.

Report# 110 -Economic Development Committee ••• Various Matters
The Committee respectfully submits the following:
A meeting of the Economic Development Committee was held on Thursday, September 17,
1981 at 7:30 p.m. in the Administration Building.
Present Were: Councillors E. Stewart, T. Jones and E. Stoddart.
1. Review of August 20th, 1981 Meeting
(a) Old Waterworks Building
The Committee noted that it had requested Council back on May 4th, 1981
for permission to sell this building. Since that time several other
requests have been made by the Committee but as a report from the
Solicitor on the status of the title and a report from the L.A.C.A.C.
have not been received, the Committee is unable to proceed with this
matter. As the building is now vacant and with winter fast
approaching, the Committee would again ask Council to direct staff to
investigate the reason for the hold up on these reports.
(b) Pedestrian Underpass from Valhalla Subdivision
The Committee is awaiting the results of the Public Meeting to be held
on this matter on September 29th, 1981.
2. Assessment Generated from the Industrial Parks
The Committee is pleased to report that assessment generated from the
Industrial Parks (both Town owned and Alliance) has increased by
$5,570,391.00 since 1976 which has produced an increase in actual tax
dollars of $451,129.51 annually and a total increase of 530 jobs. This
figure does not include any buildings that are presently under construction
such as Hallmark Cards or the new Hotel Aurora, so the total increase by the
end of this year should be significantly higher.
A breakdown of the assessment figures, mill rates and population figures is
attached to this report.
3. Servicing of Industrial Park # 2
4.
The Committee reports that the sewer and water line installations are nearly
completed and the sewer and water laterals to each lot are being installed
along with the main trunk lines at considerably less construction costs of
doing it later and this also saves digging up the roadway after the asphalt
is laid.
Downtown Core Development
The Committee discussed the inactivity in the Downtown Core and it was
decided that Councillors Stoddart and Jones would initiate a meeting with
the downtown merchants to see if some course of action could be started to
improve this situation.
