Report # 80 .:. Public SafetY Coliuidttee ••• Various Matters (continued)
1. Towri Safety Review
Mr. John Ireland of the Region attended for this part of the meeting. His
comments and opinions were solicited by members of the Committee and his
overall input was appreciated in assisting the Committee to reach its final
recommendations.
The Committee's recommendations can be found as an addendum to this report.
(previously circulated at Council in Committee meeting of August 8th, 1983)
2. Letter# 14:.196 :. E:xti'ication-Grarit
The Committee is pleased to report that the Town will be rece1v1ng a
$1,000.00 grant for extrication equipment applied for several months ago.
3. Mayor's Memo -Jul.{ 15th; 1983 .. re: Emergeric,)' Plans ACt 1983
The ch1ef reports that Council has passed a by-law providing for such a plan
and that the chief is developing it.
4. Nei gnbourtiood Watch Signs .:. Mayor's Memo dated July 15tn; 1983
The Committee fe 1 t strongly that the neighbourhood watch signs obtai ned by a
volunteer residents' group should be permitted to be fixed to the light
standards at appropriate locations, which would be agreed upon by the
Director of Public Works and the volunteer group.
Two months ago, Council supported the concept but would not purchase any
signs as requested by this group.
The group solicited aid, and obtained sponsorship for the signs from the
Leos. They have also received a great deal of support through training
workshops and group meeting involvement by the York Regional Police in this
project.
Having surveyed other municipalities there is no standard for where these
signs are fixed, some are on hydro poles, 1 i ght standards and even "No
Parking" Signs.
Hydro, in discussion with the Mayor, has indicated concern for signs erected
on poles, which if their "cherry picker" style truck is broken down, the
signs would impede Hydro from climbing these poles. The Committee
respectfully questions anyone's ability to climb a sheer metal light
standard out to the light overhanging the road to change a bulb.
As these poles are the Town's and considering the control Council has over
the use of these poles for signs, it is recommended that the Director of
Public Works consult with the Neighbourhood Watch Group representative to
identify and erect the neighbourhood watch signs in specific areas of
Aurora. No signs should be erected on poles which are spiked for climbing.
The meeting concluded at 10:30 p.m.
be cancelled (August 2nd, 1983) and
will be changed from September 6th,
The next Public Safety Committee Meeting will

The Committee respectfully submits the following:
A regular meeting of the Public ~lorks Committee was held on Wednesday, July 27th,
1983 at 7:00 p.m. in Committee Room Number 1 at the Administrative Centre.
Present Were: Councillor L. Ostick, Councillor E. Stewart, Director of Public
Works Wm.G. Walker.
1. Letter·# ··14~09 ·· ~ · M; r; ·c.· PropertY· ( r.a ghwa.Y ·· # ·11· ana s166mi rigtall· s; iteroait l
The Region of York have refused permission for an access to this land from
the Bloomington Sideroad. The Ministry of Transportation and Communications
have requested permission to have access to Old Bloomington Road which is
now under Town jurisdiction. Both Town and M.T.C. entrance proposals are
shown on the accompanying plan. The Committee recommends that permission
not be granted for reasons contained within the Director's letter of March
1st, 1983 sent to Central Ontario Appraisals (Newmarket), a copy of which
has been attached hereto.
2. Letter #·14~34· ~·Pr6p6sed.Parking;·rawn.Park
The Committee recommends that due to the reduction in parking space caused
by the installation of concrete street curbs that angle parking be provided
around the Town Park. The degree to which these parking areas are to be
constructed should be dependent upon the funds available when the contract
is called. (The asphalt need not be laid immediately --a crusher run
limestone would be satisfactory as a temporary measure). On Mosley Street,
which will be one of the next contracts, 20 angle parking places east of the
bus bay are recommended. On Larmont Street, angle parking should replace
right angle parking proposed outside the Armoury and continue south. The
extent of parking on Metcalfe Street should be reviewed later, taking into
account experience gained on the Mosley and Larmont Street contracts.
3. Henderson llri \le Road Impr6\lemerit
The oiling of Henderson Drive was completed in mid-July. The Committee
consider that a considerable improvement has been made. Due to the amount
of fine material and residual calcium chloride, the oil penetration was not
as good as expected resulting in more maintenance than expected.
The meeting adjourned at 7:45 p.m.

B. CORR~SPONOENCE
1. Letter·# 14~57-Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing re: Bill 58.
Referred from Council in Committee Report # 76, Item B-4.
Bill 58 authorizes municipalities to pass by-laws licensing, regulating and
governing the lessors of mobile signs. For the purposes of this section, a
person who, from a location outside the municipality, carries on the
busines.s of leasing mobile signs shall be deemed to be carrying on business
in the municipality if the person locates or permits the location of his
mobile signs in the municipality.
The Committee recommends that the necessary by-law be prepared, and when
approved, to be forwarded to all mobile sign lessors in the area.
2. Letter·# 14-197-Township of King re: Data on Animal Control Contracts.
The Committee recommends that this letter be received as information as
Administration and Finance Report# 78, Item B-1 dealt with the Kennel Inn

The Committee recommends that this request be considered at the time of 1984
budget deliberations.
4. Letter # 15~132 -Victorian Order of Nurses re: Support
While the Committee fully recognizes the excellent work of the Victorian
Order of Nurses, it is concerned about the isolated manner in which grants
are made to various organizations and agencies without due regard to budget
considerations.
It is therefore recommended that the Committee be authorized to review the
current grant policy and to submit recommendations to Council for
consideration.
5. Letter #"15~&6 -Ontario Municipal Personnel Association re: 42nd

Reoort # 84 -Leisure Services corinilittee · Arena teas i bi 1 ity __ Stuoy ~ Ho11 and
River Va 11 ey Study ( continuea
The Committee has reviewed the recommendations of the Arena Feasibility and Holland
River Valley Park studies and makes the following observations:
1. The research and findings of the Arena Feasibility Study clearly justify the
immediate need for a second utility ice surface.
2. The increased population as a result of 4,600 approved housing units will
create a demand for additional playing facilities and open space for
parkland. This information was identified in the Holland River Valley Park
~u~.
3. As well as the foregoing recreational requirements, the Committee has
learned through meetings and discussions with a number of citizens as well
as members of Council, that there may also be a need to explore the
feasibility of an indoor swimming facility.
4. The Committee has determined that the 10 acre town owned site located on
Industrial Parkway would be most conducive, in terms of location, physical
characteristics and size, to accommodate these and many other recreational
requirements.
(a) The utility ice surface could serve as the anchor component for a
sports complex on this site.
(b) A Sports Complex would have a strong, community image increasing
public awareness and involvement in programmes.
(c) A multiple sports facility would permit activities for the entire
family in a single location.
(d) A comprehensive plan for the site, including the lands of the
Holland River Valley Park, when complete, would include indoor
leisure pool accessible to the handicapped, a whirlpool, racquetball
courts, fitness area, major and minor athletic fields, amphitheatre,
walking trails, tennis courts and ski runs. In addition to these, a
building on the town owned site may make it more convenient to
consider relocation of the Aurora Horse Show and would accommodate
this and other group needs.
RECOMMENOA ilONS
1. With consideration to the foregoing, as well as the Direction of the Master
Plan for Culture and Recreation, the Committee urges that the needs
identified in the Studies be met by preparing a plan for a comprehensive
recreational facility and parkland development be carried out over a period
of 10 years, for the Town owned land on Industrial Parkway North. The
Committee recommends that a maximum limit of $6,500.00 be established in
order that the necessary site requirements and physical design can be
completed and attached as required to the Wintario application.
2. The Committee further strongly recommends that a complete application for
Wintario capital funds be prepared and submitted prior to the September
30th, 1983 deadline. The application will request funding for the first
phase of a staged development, of a utility ice surface as well as the
preliminary development of the Holland River Valley Park.

The Committee respectfully submits the following:
The original severance application was heard by the Region of York Land Division
Committee on October 20, 1981. The application was approved, with certain
conditions attached. The Town of Aurora passed By-Law Number 2443-81, a By-Law to
amend By-Law Number 2142-77, to facilitate the requested severance of the 1.969
hectare parcel, including a right-of-way.
COUNCIL MEETING ••• MONDAY, AUGUST 15th, 1983

REPORTS OF COMMITTEES (continued)
The Planning and Development Committee, recommended approval of this severance to
Council, and Council adopted this recommendation on September 21, 1981, subject to
the following Town conditions:
1. Lot Levy fee of $1,695. to be paid to the Town of Aurora,
2. 5% of the value of the subject land as cash-in-lieu of parkland dedication,
to be paid to the Town of Aurora.
As of November 2, 1981, Hydro Levies are required for severances, therefore,
Condition Number 3 will be added:
3. Hydro Levy of $350. to be paid to the Town of Aurora.
The reason this same application is again before the Town, is that the conditions
in the original Application were not fulfilled by the owner in the time specified,
and the file was c1osed.
As the Hearing Date is set for August 23rd, I respectfully recommend the Planning
Committee recommend to Council on August 15th, approval of this severance, with the
conditions as noted.

Teasdale and Mary Lenora Teasdale, Part of Lots 74 and 75, Concession 1, Town of
Aurora
The Committee respectfully submits the following:
Owners of the above noted property have applied to the Regional Land Division
Committee for consent to sever 2.47 ha (approximately 6 acres) from the south-west
corner of this property which would have no frontage on a public road to an
existing lot (#36} on Registered Plan 65M-2122, Lot 36 is .95 ha (2.3 acres
approximately) in area. The resulting property would have approximately 3.42 ha (8
acres) in area (see attachment). The applicants have had two (2} previous
severances.
The subject property is designated "Rural" in the Official Plan of the Aurora
Planning Area. It is also zoned "Rural" under the provisions of By-Law 2142-77 in
force and By-Law 2213-78 which will come into force retroactive to the date of its
passing June 16, 1980, when approved by the Ontario Municipal Board.
The provisions of the Official Plan respecting consents in the Rural Area do
indicate the favourable consideration should be given where the land being severed
is to be added to an existing lot. However, the proposal does not conform with
section 10.6.ciiiF which requires newly created parcels to conform with the
provisions of the zoning by-law.
Because a substantial amount of land is proposed to be added to the existing lot it
is felt that at the very least, the property should be rezoned to "Estate
Residential" prior to a consent being granted. Also si nee "Estate Resident i a 1"
development is to occur only in areas designated for "Estate Residential" purposes
in the Official Plan, it is possible that an Official Plan Amendment should be
enacted.

In addition, a severance of this nature, to the rear of the existing farm has the
effect of fragmenting the farm which is considered good farm land and perhaps
setting a precedent for futher severances along the area abutting the Registered
Plan.
Because Lot 36, Plan 65M-2122 has sufficient area on which to erect the required
building size, there appears to be no justification for this proposed severance.
RECOMMENDA Tt ON
It is recommended the Planning Committee recommend to Council that the application
of Charles and Mary Teasdale not be approved for the following reasons:

Buck:
West:
The proposal would result in further fragmentation of good farm land.
The resulting lot would be incompatible with lots in the approved and
registered plan of subdivision.
The subject lands are zoned and designated "rural" in the zoning by-law and
Official Plan and were not intended for residential uses.
The existing estate residential lot has sufficient area on which to erect a
dwelling and associated buildings.
