Representatives of soccer organizations in the municipality have proposed
entering into an agreement to lease from the Town of Aurora, Block 33, Plan

construction and maintenance costs would be borne by the Town of Aurora.

A. OFFICIAL PLAN AMENDMENTS, REZONING APPLICATIONS & DRAFT PLANS OF
SUBDIVISION:
1. Letter #11-47 -Archerhill Investments Ltd, Block 37, R.Plan M-2012,
northwest corner Bayview Avenue & Vandorf Sideroad.
The Committee discussed the proposed Plan of Subdivision, which is located
at the north west quandrant of the intersection of Bayview Avenue and
Vandorf Sideroad.
The list of conditions which were included in the approval of the original
Plan of Subdivision, dated February 10, 1978, is hereby enclosed. Item No.
3 in such report required that the future use designation on. Blocks A and C,
(Block C being the subject lands), be changed from "Future Development" to
"Rural".
The Committee concurs that there was no previous commitment from the Town to
develop the lands as residential and also that the rural population as
allocated by the Region has been surpassed.
Therefore, the Committee recommends that the proposal be denied.

REPORTS OF COMMITTEES (continued)
Report# 60-Planning and Development Committee .•. Various Matters (continued)
2. Letter #12-56 -Markborough Properties Limited, Block A, Plan M-57 & Part
Lot 90, Plan 246
The Committee perused the revised Plan and recommends approval in principle,
subject to requested revisions in road width and turning circles, to the
satisfaction of the Works Superintendent.
It is also recommended that the Official Plan Amendment be processed, along
with the subsequent rezoning.
It was brought to the attention of the Committee that the homeowners of Lots
189, 190, 192, 193 & 194 on Plan M-57, which back onto the subject property,
are very concerned with the problem of the swale and poor drainage at the
rear of their lots. As a result of this problem, the homeowners are unable
to fence their property, resulting in theft, etc.
The Committee recommends that Markborough be asked to get in touch with the
Town and the homeowners involved and rectify this problem of the swale as
soon as possible so that fencing, etc., may be completed for security
reasons.
3. Letter #12-19 -Technical Report, Region of York, Official Plan Amendment
No. 21, Bridlewood Estates, Owner -Mr. Henry Piebrock
The Committee reviewed the Region of York Technical Report No. 346 (O.P.) in
regards to Official Plan Amendment 21 for the 16 lot Estate Residential
Subdivision at the north east corner of Bloomington Sideroad and Leslie
Street.
The Region has recommended that the Official Plan Amendment not be approved
for the following reason:
"This and other similar proposed Official Plan Amendments will result
in a gradual spread of urbanization across the southern part of Aurora,
which is contrary to Regional policy and which will result in the need
for an otherwise unnecessary expansion of municipal services."
The Committee felt that the proposal of the 16 lot subdivision would not
result in a spread of urbanization, nor the need for expansion of municipal
services. especially as there are other residential properties in the
vicinity.
The Committee, therefore, recommends that the Region be asked to approve
Official Plan Amendment No. 21. ·
4. Official Plan Amendment No. 11, Aurora Country Estates
The Committee reviewed a report prepared by S. Seibert in regards to
potential population which would be generated by the development proposals
currently under consideration by the Town. It was determined that the
population is approximately 1500 under the 2001 population target
established by Regional Council for Aurora. Therefore, this matter would
not affect the subject proposal of subdivision.
The Committee did, however, feel that if partial servicing took place, i.e.
municipal water and septic tanks, that it would present a problem in the
future, as the property adjacent to it is fully serviced.
The Committee recommends that the Owners be advised that consideration be
given to fully serviced lots on the site, with the appropriate redesign of
the Plan, and a revision to the Official Plan Amendment.

The Committee recommends that the Owners be advised that the By-Laws of the
Town only permit one dwelling per lot, therefore, the retention of the
existing dwelling would not be permitted.
It will also be necessary for the Owners to enter into an Agreement with the
Town and the necessary By-Law amendment be processed.
