Re art# 8-York Re ional Land Division Committee ••• A lication Number 390.81.A
(Granada) continued)
In reaching a decision, the Committee had regard to all of the matters set out in
subsection 4 of section 36 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 36 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 390.81.A, upon fulfilment of the following
conditions:
1. Payment of an Administrative Fee of $100.00, to the Town of Aurora;
2. Submission to the Secretary-Treasurer, of a fully executed deed, in
duplicate conveying the subject land only to the owner abutting on the
north, reportedly, Olga Deralas;
3. Submission to the Secretary-Treasurer, of three white prints of a deposited
Plan of Reference showing the subject alnd which conforms substantially with
the application as submitted;
4. Fulfilment of Conditions 1, 2 and 3 not later than NOVEMBER 8, 1982.

Report# 9-Mayor's Report ••• Various Matters (continued)
2. Extended Area Service -Bell Canada
In the latter part of 1981, I had discussions with Mrs.
Section Manager of Bell Canada, regarding Extended Area
residents of the Town of Aurora, in fact, all those who
exchange.
Norma L. Wilcox,
Service (EAS) for
use the Aurora ''727''
It appears that in August of 1980, Bell Canada applied to the Canadian
Radio-Television Commission (C.R.T.C.) to have new criteria approved for the
provision of EAS. The criteria which were approved are:
1. The exchanges must be contiguous -which means that a
pair of exchanges have boundary lines touching or are
separated by anything but another exchange; i.e., a body
of water.
2. There must be a 60% Community Interest wherein 60% or
more of customers place one or more calls per month to
the proposed EAS location.
3. A customer survey by post card canvass indicating 51% of
all customers favour the proposed change. Telephone
calls are made to follow up to ensure a maximum return.
4. There must be a distance of not greater that 30 miles
between the rate centers of each exchange.
With regard to these criteria, Aurora fits in the following way:
1. Aurora is not contiguous to the EAS location.
2. 82% of Bell customers make one or more calls per month to
the EAS location.
3. Not measured.
4. Aurora-Toronto rate centre distance is 25 miles.
The attached map, Appendix "A", shows the existing Toronto Vicinity EAS
Plan. It is interesting to note that the Nobleton, King City, Oak Ridges
and Bethesda exchanges all have free calling to Toronto. Aurora is the next
obvious extension to the EAS plan.
On April 1st, 1980, Mrs. Wilcox and I met to discuss improvements to the
Aurora telephone system and proposed timing for Aurora being included in the
EAS Plan. At that time, no mention was made of the pending application to
the CRTC for approval of the new criteria. In fact, this Council and its
predecessor, and the Municipal Associations, have never, to my knowledge,
been advised of the application for the new criteria and their subsequent
approval.
It seems to me that Bell Canada has been able to win approval for its new
criteria, probably without opposition because none knew about it. It also
seems to me that the people who were probably next to receive the service
have been done a great injustice because of this lack of notice.
Furthermore, the CRTC should have caused notice to be served of such an
application since the applicant apparently did not.

2. Extended Area Service -Bell Canada (continued)
Bell Canada's response has been to introduce "Optional Calling Plans" as a
trial in selected areas as an alternative. Another alternative plan is the
"Econo-Pak" for long distance. I have attached as Appendices "B" and "C",
information from Bell Canada regarding these alternatives.
It is my opinion that Aurora Council should pass a resolution requesting the
CRTC to reverse its decision in August, 1980 regarding EAS criteria and that
a copy of this report and the resolution should be sent to the Chairman of
the CRTC, Mr. John Meisel, The Hon. Francis Fox, Minister of
Communications, the Hon. Sinclair Stevens, M.P., York-Peel, the Town of
Newmarket, the Township of Whitchurch-Stouffville, the Township of King, and
Bell Canada.
Proposed Resolution
Whereas the Canadian Radio-Television Commission approved of new criteria
for use by Bell Canada for Extended Area Service Plans in August of 1980,
And Whereas no public notice was served by either the C.R.T.C. or Bell
Canada, the applicant, of the intention to consider approval of such new
criteria prior to the C.R. T.C. Hearing,
And Whereas the rights of many citizens were abrogated through the approval
of such criteria without notice,
Therefore be it Resolved that the C.R.T.C. be requested to review and
reverse its decision in August, 1980, regarding EAS criteria,
And further that this Resolution be forwarded, together with the background
report (Mayor's Report #9} to:
Hon. Francis Fox, Minister of Communications
Hon. Sinclair Stevens, M.P., York-Peel
Newmarket, Whitchurch-Stouffville and King
with a request for their support and endorsation of this Resolution,
And to the C.R.T.C. and Bell Canada for their information and appropriate
action.

A. LETTERS RECEIVED AS INFORMATION
1. Letter # 22-257 -Ministry of Health re: Ambulance Service
B. CORRESPONDENCE
1. Flashing Red Lights on Volunteer's Cars
The Chairman reported that he had investigated the leads given by the
Firefighters and had received no information to justify any further action.
As the majority of the officers are not in favour of these lights, the
Committee considers the matter closed.
2. Letter # 22-1 -Wm.G. Walker Report on Visibility -Intersections of Kennedy
and George Streets and Walton Drive and Centre Street
The Committee recommends that the report be accepted and staff take action
as outlined therein.
3. Letter # 20-58 -Dr. Roger Seaman -201 Kennedy Street West
Since similar concerns were brought to our attention by Mr. Rough, the
situation has not changed. There are no recommendations that can be made
within the responsibilities of this Committee. Any improvements would
involve the inclusion of work on Kennedy Street West in the Works Department
Capital Budget.
4. Fire Prevention Reports
The Committee reviewed the reports of the Fire Prevention Officer of his
inspections of commercial properties. Good co-operation is received in most
cases and the level of fire hazard is much reduced. In no case yet has a
Fire Marshal's Order had to be issued.
5. Complement of Volunteers
The Fire Chief presented his volunteer status list showing 20 volunteers
exclusive of the four (4) full time personnel. 12 are mostly available
during the day and an additional two (2) on 2nd Call.
The Committee recommends that efforts be made to recruit four (4} to six (6}
more vo 1 unteers during the next few months.
6. Equipment Maintenance Report
The Fire Chief presented the report of C.E. Hickey and Sons Company Limited,
on their maintenance and inspections of the firefighting equipment on the
fire trucks. They were all satisfactory except for the ladder on the ladder
truck which showed major deficiencies. In view of the age of the truck and
need for its replacement, no work is recommended as it is all of an
expensive nature. The Chief will only use the truck in real emergencies. A
copy of the report is available on the Safety Committee file in the
Councillors' Room.

7. Clean Air Compressor
The Department has endeavoured since 1978 during budget discussions to have
a compressor purchased for refilling air bottles for Scot Paks. The present
system of filling at the Fire Hall lacks capacity and the brigade has run
out of air at two (2) recent fires. Cylinders have had to be borrowed from
neighbouring departments and a supplier has had to be roused in the middle
of the night to fill bottles. This is a slow and unsatisfactory procedure.
The lowest price on the 1978 Tender was $7,690.00. Provincial Fire
Protection of Richmond Hill have upgraded their equipment and have for sale
a compressor system which will be more than adequate for our department for
$4,000.00. The unit is reconditioned and carries a 12 month waranty. It
will fill an air bottle for a Scot Pak in 1 1/2 minutes. The cost of
installation and filters will be approximately $1,000.00.
The Committee recommends that as this is a one (1) only unit, that authority
to purchase be given prior to budget debate.
8. Association Memberships
The Committee recommends that the same memberships as last year be taken out
and that the Treasurer be authorized to pay those that become due prior to
budget adoption in the spring.
9. Additional Telephone Lines
The Bell Telephone Company reports that when the extra lines are installed
in our local exchange, that 727-1911 and 727-1912, which will ring down,
will be available for the Fire Department. The Committee recommends that
the phone company be asked to hold these numbers for the department and that
the Fire Chief report back when they will be available with his
recommendations for publicizing and effecting the change over.
10. Distribution of Annual Report
The Committee recommends that a copy of the Fire Department's Annual Report
be made available to the public at the Aurora Library.
11. Fire Safety By-Law
The Committee is concerned about the possible fire hazards in non-conforming
basement apartments. While recognizing that these units provide useful
accommodation in times of shortage, the Committee feels that consideration
should be given to a by-law laying down minimum safety standards.
12. Fire Investigation Course
The Committee recommends that Fire Prevention Officer Fred Bolsby attend the
Fire Investigation Course at the Police College -Aylmer, Ontario, from
March 29th to April 2nd, 1982. All costs for meals, accomodation and travel
are paid by the Province of Ontario.

do the same operation again.
A recommendation could then be made on the size of the department in the
