REPORTS OF COMMITTEES
Report # 70 -Public Safety Committee ... Various Matters
The Committee respectfully submits the following:
A meeting of the Public Safety Committee was held on Tuesday, June 7th, 1983 at
7:00 p.m. in Committee Room 1.
Present Were: Councillors Tim Jones, Norm Stewart, Martin Paivio, Len Ostick (7:45
p.m. to 9:00 p.m.), Fire Chief S.G. Wilson and Citizen Members Ted
Bessant, Omar Khamissa and Carl Weissner.
1. Follow Up -May 3rd Meeting
(a) Fire Regulating By-Law
The Committee is still awaiting agreement with full time
firefighters prior to proceeding.
(b) Model By-Law for Physically Disabled
The Deputy Clerk reports that the participating municipalities have
yet to meet to discuss. As soon as a mutually agreeable base for
such a by-law is formulated, this information will be brought to
Council's attention for discussion.
(c) Fire and Heat Detection -Town Owned Buildings
As this item was approved, this matter now rests in the hands of the
Town Clerk for further action.
(d) Capital Budget Status
I
The Committee is awaiting the identification of an overall Capital
Budget which is hoped for within the next month.
(e) Chimney Fires
This matter was referred back to the Public Safety Committee for
further information. The Committee's intent by bringing forth this
item on May 3rd, 1983, was to reinforce the need, through publicity,
for the homeowner to realize and accept their responsibility to keep
their chimneys clean of combustible materials.

REPORTS OF COMMITTEES (continued)
Report # 70 -Public Safety Committee ••• Various Matters (continued)
1. f"oliow Up ~May 3rd Meeting (continued)
(e) Chimney Fires (continued)
In 1982 we had 8 chimney fires. Chimney fires are caused quite
simply because a homeowner neglects to keep their flues clean. A
callout to a chimney fire usually involves 15 firefighters at an
approximate cost of $300.00 plus vehicle use. To date, although the
Fire Code gives the Chief the authority to lay charges against those
who have chimney fires of up to $2,000.00 and/or one year
imprisonment, neither Aurora or any other York region municipality
has used this provision to lay charges. The Committee would
recommend that the Chief be authorized to send a letter to any
resident who has a chimney fire warning them of this hazard and the
potential penalties, especially if the fire department is recalled
to that same household for a second chimney fire. The Fire
Department has several information phamplets regarding wood burning
stoves and these are available to Council, residents and given to
anyone who takes out a permit to convert or build a wood burning
stove.
2. Letter #12~28 ~ Aurora Nursery Scliooi; Letter # 12~115 -Dr. and Mrs. Waxer
and Letter # 12-116 -H. Swain re: Parking Ramp -Library/Trio
This matter was referred to the Public Safety Committee from Counci 1 in
Committee for comments regarding the safety of this proposed ramp. The
Committee discussed this matter at length and adjourned to physically view
the situation.
The Committee would recommend that from a safety standpoint, it does not
feel there is a major concern, providing that the ramp is a 20' wide ramp
and that it is aligned with the road passage between the Parks building and
the Library and that this passage be clearly marked as a one-way only for
traffic to enter from Victoria.
The 20' width would prevent congestion and confrontation, and the alignment
would provide a clear view of oncoming traffic which, because of the
physical design of the passage, would have to travel slowly to enter this
lot. It was also noted that the library should be asked for an official
written position on this ramp.
3. Mayor's Memos
(a) May 12; 1983 re: Yonge Street TraHi c Aci:i dents
The Chairman informed the Committee that the M.T.C. had undertaken a
study of this area. It is hoped that the results of this study
would be available for the Committee's review at the same time as it
is reviewing its final recommendations for Town Safety Matters
meeting July 5th, 1983.
(b) May 17; 1983 re: · StreetNumoei-ing-Pop1ar Crescent
This was discussed and referred to the Town Safety Matters meeting
July 5th. It is the Committee's opinion that the crescents and
courts should have their own identifiable names.
(c) May 19, ·1983 re: Murray Drive Schoo1 Crossing
This was discussed and referred to the Town Safety Matters Meeting
July 5th. It is the Committee's opinion that the recommendations as
outlined in the Mayor's memo are valid and should be considered.

to the 60 day time limit requested. These orders are in line with
normal corrective measures required under the Fire Code.

(d) York Region Fire Chief Association
The Chief reported that a second meeting of this association was
held in Keswick on June 1st, 1983. The purpose of this meeting is
to share information and deal with items of mutual concern--i.e.-
emergency co-ordination, etc. The Chief has been elected as
Vice-President of this Association. Their next meeting is in
Vaughan on September 21st, 1983.
6. Review of Town Safety Matters/By-Law Number 1867-69
The Committee reviewed the initial findings of the three sub-teams who
toured the town, as well as those of the Chief. The Chairman will compile
these findings into a draft report for the July 5th Public Safety Committee
Meeting.
In addition to requesting a safety representative from the York Regional
Police Department, it was also suggested that a representative from the
Region Traffic Department be asked to review this draft for their input on
July 5th, 1983.
It is recommended that the Clerk invite both representatives to attend the
Public Safety Committee meeting on July 5th, 1983 at 7:00p.m.
From this meeting, it is recommended that a final report be assembled and
referred to the Council in Committee meeting scheduled for August 8th, 1983
as it is anticipated that Council may wish to discuss various
recommendations in more depth than would be proper for formal Council. If
all is in order after August 8th, 1983 the report can go on to Council for
August 15th, 1983.
The Committee was also asked by the Chairman to review By-Law Number 1867-69
for comments on July 5th so that the recommendations that come out of our
report as well as any changes we wish to make from the existing traffic
regulating By-Law 1867-69 can be incorporated into one updated By-Law.
Further, it would be beneficial to also incorporate the provisions
established for Disabled Permits and Parking of such provisions are
developed at this time.
In addition to requesting a safety representative from the York Regional
Police Department, it was also suggested that a representative from the
Region Traffic Department be asked to review this draft for their input on
July 5th, 1983.
It is recommended that the Clerk invite both representatives to attend the

"Because there is such a large number of convenience
commercial developments in the area, it is recommended
that the application to amend the Official Plan from
Residential to Commercial not be approved. Subject to the
applicant confirming an appropriate density, etc., for the
site, it is recommended that the site be prezoned for a
higher density residential use under the Holding
provisions specified in Section 35 of the new Planning

Mr. Vanderploeg wishes to erect an addition to the west side of his

By-Law No. 1863 requires a fifteen foot (15 foot) sideyard. However, the
new Zoning By-Law No. 2213-78 will permit the attached one-storey garage to
have a minimum sideyard of one metre (3.28 ft.). As this By-Law has not as
yet been approved by the O.M.B., and we have been given advice to enforce
the most restrictive requirements of By-Law No. 1863 and 2213-78, a problem
exists.

The Committee recommend that 4 part-time positions be terminated and a Civil

Capital Budget
The Committee is of the opinion that the efficiency of the Department is
suffering from the unecessary delay by Council in adopting a realistic 5
year Capital Budget.
A decision regarding the replacement of the 1966 Wayne Sweeper and the 1976
3/4 Ton Pick Up is required. Council authorized the rental of a sweeper but
this was later cut from the budget.
The Committee would recommend to Council that the Works Committee be
authorized to either make extensive repairs to the present 1966 Wayne
Sweeper or that they be authorized to call tenders for a new sweeper as this
piece of equipment is essential to the road cleaning of the Town.
The Committee would recommend to Council that, in view of the additional
roads, sewers, watermains and sidewalks taken over in the last 5 years,
consideration must be given to the purchase of an additional 1 Ton Flatbed
truck.
