Present Were: Councillor L. Ostick, Councillor E. Stewart, Councillor R. Barker
and Director of Public Works, Wm. Walker.
A. Delegations
1. Mr. Brad Beech of Paul Theil and Associates and Mr. Paul Austin of Salpam
Investments
Mr. Brad Beech of Paul Theil & Associates and Mr. Paul Austin of Sal pam
Investments appeared before the Committee to make two requests:
(1) They wish to service the houses in their new development with double
services instead of single as required by present Town policy. The
Committee recommend that the existing Town pol icy be maintained.
(2) They presented a plan of the proposed sidewalk on Wellington Street
and had some queries regarding shared costs, timing and temporary
alternatives prior to construction. The Committee recommend that the
Technical Committee consider (1) the cost sharing aspect of the
project (2) the timing of the construction (3) alternative access to
Aurora Heights Drive in the early stages of the development and
report back to Council.
B. Referred Matters
1. Winter Sidewalk Maintenance
The Committee discussed this matter at length and are unable to make a
recommendation because of the wide divergence of opinions held by Committee
members.
The following alternatives are suggested for discussion:
(a) Clear the snow from the six (6} miles at present being cleared plus
physically remove the snow from areas where there is insufficient
boulevard to provide storage.
(b) Accept the Director's recommendation and purchase 1 additional
Bombardier and hire additional men to clear 16 miles of the 26 miles
in Town on a priority basis to be decided.
(c) Clear all 26 miles of sidewalk.
None of the above options addresses the problem of sanding sidewalks. Many
complaints are received about slippery sidewalks after a thaw and
refreezing. The Director of Public Works has been asked to produce costs
for providing different levels of service.
2. Use of Pick-up Trucks by Foremen
The Committee is unanimously of the opinion that it is to the Town's
advantage that the foremen are allowed to take home a Town truck.
It is recommended that the foreman be allowed to take the truck home if he
lives not more that 8 kms. from the yard. The maximum distance allowed
would be 32 kms. Between 8 and 32 kms., the foreman would be asked to pay
1/2 provincial scale of mileage allowance.

A. CORRESPONDENCE (continued)
6. Letter# 7-10-M. Weeks, Wellington Street West and Letter# 7-12-M.
Weeks re: Proposed Zoning By-Law Amendment -Salpam Investments
Mr. Rodger, Clerk-Administrator, outlined to Council his reply to Mr. Weeks
letters regarding Salpam Investments.
Mr. Rodger explained in detail how the sizing of watermains and sanitary
sewer systems would apply to individuals located along Wellington Street
West. He further explained that with the future development of subdivisions
west of Aurora High School on both the south and north sides of Wellington
Street West, the construction of sidewalks and the signalization to allow
safe crossing of pedestrian traffic would become essential.
The Clerk-Administrator also stated that provisions were made within the
Subdivision Agreement requiring subd.ivider to exercise reasonable care in
keeping construction dust and mud and debris on the roads to a minimum
during the construction process.
Council in Committee agreed with the Clerk's report as outlined and would
recommend that a letter be sent to Mr. Weeks regarding same.
7. Letter# 7-30-Ministry of the Solicitor General -Emergency Planning re:
Tra1n1ng and Educat1on Program

8. Highland Chev/Olds-Temporary Pavilion
Council in Committee was informed that Highland Chev/Olds had constructed a
temporary pavilion to display their new vehicles in from Wednesday, t1arch
21st, 1984 through the following weekend. This structure is to be taken
down on Monday, March 26th, 1984. Unfortunately, permission from the
Building Department had not been obtained and the posting of financial
securities had not been performed.
The Committee would recommend that, as this appears to be an unfortunate
oversight, permission be granted to Highland Chev/Olds to have their
temporary pavilion on the condition that it is removed on Monday, March

Aurora.
