(Liscar) (continued)
In the Matter of Subsection 49 (3) of The Planning Act (R.S.O. 1980 c. 379) as
amended, and
In the Matter of an application by Liscar Construction Limited and Mark West
Developments Limited, 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, G.R. Gregory, D.
McCallum, Mrs. J. Paton, B. Tucciarone, being a quorum of the Land
Division Committee on Tuesday, March 29, 1983.
Peter J. Milligan was present at the Hearing.
The owners propose to convey the subject land marked "A" on the attached sketch for
urban residential purposes, and retain the land marked "B" for urban residential
purposes. The subject land is vacant. There is an existing dwelling and a garage
located on the land to be retained. The garage will be relocated. The application
was heard in conjunction with Application Number 21.83.A, by the same owners.
The Committee accepts an amendment to the application to include the granting of a
servicing easement over the easterly 3 metres of the land that is the subject of
Application Number 21.83.A, instead of as originally submitted, without further
notice to affected property owners and agencies, as shown attached hereto as
Appendix Number 2.
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, as
amended, 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 20.83.A, as amended, upon fulfilment of the following
cond1t1ons:
1. Payment of a Lot Levy of $3,256.00, to the Town of Aurora;
2. Payment of a Park Levy, to the Town of Aurora, in Lieu of the deeding of
land for park purposes, said levy not to exceed 5% of the appraised market
value of the subject land only;
3. Payment of a Hydro Levy of $313.35, to the Town of Aurora;
4. Payment of a Development Charge of $350.00, to the Regional Municipality of
York;
5. Submission to the Secretary-Treasurer, of a fully executed deed, in
duplicate, conveying the subject land, as amended;
6. Submission to the Secretary-Treasurer, of three white prints of a deposited
Plan of Reference of the owner's entire land, which conforms substantially
with the application as amended, and which shows the distances of all
buildings and structures from adjacent lot boundary lines as proposed;

Letter 11-53 -York Symphony Orchestra -Request for Support
The York Symphony Orchestra has requested "a grant both from the Town of
Aurora and from the Aurora Arts and Culture Fund". While the Orchestra is
currently enjoying some financial stability, and certainly great popularity
in Aurora as well as other financial centres in the Region, expenses are
escalating at a rate faster than some of the traditional forms of funding
available to the Orchestra. Consequently, the Orchestra is requesting the
Town of Aurora to consider a grant in the amount of $500.00 for operating
expenses. This would match grants made to date from the Town of Richmond
Hill, the Town of Vaughan, the Regional Grant and expected grants from
Markham and King City.''
The Committee is aware of the Orchestra's involvement in the Town of Aurora,
and that in addition to regular Saturday night concerts in Aurora, 73
subscribers as well as members of the board and the orchestra itself live in

The Aurora Minor Lacrosse Club is holding its third annual Town of Aurora
Lacrosse Tournament on Saturday, June 18th, 1983. It is expected that a
total of eight teams will compete in this one day tournament. The Aurora
Minor Lacrosse Club has requested financial assistance of $400 from the Town
of Aurora to offset some of the expenses such as the arena floor time.
As this tournament will help promote the Town of Aurora, the Committee

Letter~l0-118-Kennel Inn-Request for Rate Increase
(This item was referred from Report #60, Item A-5). Kennel Inn has requested
a six per cent increase in the Animal Control rate now in effect. The 1982
rate was based on $2.35 per capita, and with a six per cent increase, the
rate would increase 14 cents a person to $2.49 per capita.
The Committee reviewed the agreement signed April 28, 1976 when the rate was
$1.55 per annum per capita based on the population of the town as determined
by the enumeration taken annually by the Ministry of Revenue.
The agreement also grants Kennel Inn to:
(a) the right to collect and retain all pound fees and distribution
fees,
(b) receive from the town the fee of $2.50 per diem for any animal held
in quarantine,
(c) receive 50 per cent of any licence fees collected through their
efforts.
The Committee is concerned about the determination of the population of the
town as the Ministry of Revenue now only carries out an enumeration every
three years, and also about the "per capita" method of determining the fee
for animal control. Therefore the Committee recommends that staff be
authorized to contact all adjacent municipalities for information as to the
method of determining the rate for animal control and the amounts paid
and report to the Administration and Finance Committee.

our recommendation that the town consider increasing the limit of liability
to a uniform limit of $5,000,000 applying to automobile fleet, non-owned
automobile, municipal liability and errors and omissions insurance." The
additional annual cost to increase from $3,000,000 to $5,000,000 is
$1,997.00.
The Committee recommends that the 1983 annual premium be authorized for
payment in the amount of $45,398.00 and further, it is recommended that the
additional liability premium in the amount of $1,997.00 be authorized for
payment.
5. Discussion Paper on Munici~al Cost Sharing and Unconditional Grants
In March, 1983 a letter (8-82) was received from AMO including a discussion
paper on Municipal Cost Sharing and Unconditional Grants from the Ministry
of Municipal Affairs and Housing. The Ministry requested that AMO act as
the focal point for distribution of the discussion paper and for the
gathering of municipal input.
(a) Cost Sharing
The net levy of each region and county is apportioned to each
lower-tier municipality on the basis of equalized assessment. In
1981, the system was changed to give some recognition to the
relative differences of effective rates of taxation on the various
classes of property. This was accomplished through the introduction
of a residential discount factor which was applied to each lower
tiers equalized residential assessments when calculating the
apportionment of the upper tier levy.
Even with these improvements, there remain obstacles to having costs
shared on an equitable and understandable basis throughout Ontario.
For example, there is the difference between the way apportionment
shares are determined (according to assessment). As a result,
owners of comparable homes in different lower-tier municipalities
within the same county or region pay different amounts for the same
upper-tier services.
The AMO Board of Directors have requested "that the Provincial
Government develop several alternatives that illustrate the various
conditions under which county/region-wide reassessment under Section
63 (formerly Section 86) of the Assessment Act might be
implemented. Such alternatives should be developed having regard
for timing, financial assistance, flexibility and the degree of
concensus required. Any alternatives should be reviewed and
discussed with AMO."
The Committee recommends that Council support the AMO position
regarding Cost Sharing and advise AMO accordingly.

(b) Unconditional Grants
The provincial proposal recommends eliminating the six existing
unconditional grants and replacing them with a two grant system
calculated on a household basis. The proposed system would
recognize two service levels: a basic service grant and a special
service grant.
The provincial proposal of making unconditional grants on the basis
of households rather than population would increase property taxes
on single family residences by $26 to $100 in 145 municipalities,
according to an AMO report.
AMO's Board of Directors have suggested that only 50 per cent of the
grants be based on the number of households, with 40 per cent based
on levy based grants and 10 per cent based on a limited resource
equalization grant. This blended alternative would provide that 698
municipalities (87 per cent) would have tax impacts of $25 or less.
Only 66 municipalities would have significant increases ($26-$78)
and AMO has recommended that $25 or 5 per cent be the maximum
acceptable increase under the new grant program.
The Committee recommends that Council support the AMO position
regarding Unconditional Grants and AMO be advised accordingly.

1. Letter 11~8-York Region Board of tducation: Assessment Pooling
The York Region Board of Education held a meeting on May 16th, 1983 to
discuss a Ministry of Education proposal to introduce a new formula for the
funding of elementary and secondary education in Ontario. The formula
included the idea of pooling industrial and commercial assessment for the
province and re-allocating funds from high assessment boards to low
assessment boards.
Staff report that the proposal would include grants from the province with
the balance required to be levied against residential properties only, but
at the same time, the same amount would be levied against commercial and
industrial assessment and this amount would be paid to the province for
pooling. The Association of School Boards believe the proposed system will
take away control and autonomy for the present school boards. It was
pointed out that 94 elementary boards would gain and 27 would receive less.
In the secondary system, 38 boards would gain and 30 would lose.

2. BanK.of Montreal Review of Services.and Compensation
3.
The Bank of Montreal has recently carried out a review of the banking
arrangements in effect with the Town of Aurora. The review consists of
compensation for services now used and also an overview of several ancillary
services which may supplement the town's financial and administrative
system.
The Bank advises that the need for compensation has been precipitated by
rapidly escalating labour and equipment costs and it has become necessary to
request the following renumeration for the town's operation. Interest-free
balance of $42,000 are required as compensation for the town's account.
Staff advise that the Town is now being requested to pay for the same
services previously supplied without charge.
The Committee recommends that the Bank of Montreal be advised that the Town
is not willing to accept the new agreement as proposed, and if any changes
are to be made in the existing agreement, all major Canadian chartered banks
will be invited to submit proposals.
Joint Services.in Municipalities
The Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing has released a new Advisory
Publication entitled ''Joint Services in Municipalities". This publication
is another in a series designed to assist municipal governments in their
efforts to manage in new and effective ways. Joint administration or
financing of a municipal service is an imaginative and challenging way to
eliminate waste, avoid duplication and improve the quality of public
service.
The five case studies are:
(a) Co-Operative Purchasing: The City of Peterborough and area.
(b) Shared Computer Services: The City of Peterborough and the
Peterborough PUC
(c) Municipal Use of a University Facility: The City of Windsor, Essex
County and the University of Windsor.
