COUNCIL MEETING .•. MONDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1985

DELEGATIONS
1. Letter # 3-45 -Pete and Margo Gresser, Aurora, Ontario re: Condition of
Old Bloomington Road
Mr. P. Gresser appeared before Council to inquire if any progress is being
made in having the Old Bloomington Road upgraded in 1985.
Mayor Illingworth advised Mr. Gresser that cost on the different types of
maintenance for roads have been obtained and further Council would consider,
under Budget discussion, on what rural roads money would be spent this year.
REPORTS OF COMMITTEES
Report# 10-Economic Development Committee .•• Various Matters
The Committee respectfully submits the following:
A meeting of the Economic Development Committee was held on Thursday, January 17,
1985 at 7:00 p.m. in the Administrative Centre.
Present Were: Councillors Earl Stewart, Tim Jones and Richard Barker.
1. Review of November 15, 1984 Meeting
(a) Property Maintenance Standard By-Law
(b)
(c)
The Committee understands that the revised by-law will be ready for
first and second reading of Council on January 21, 1985.
Bonphydarian Investments Ltd.
The bill for $2,081.25 plus 10% interest from May 4th, 1983 is still
outstanding and as construction of the gravity sewer line to St.
John's Sideroad is being delayed because of this and as the Council
has authorized the calling of tenders for the construction of the
Mary Street extension and further that unless this sewer line is
completed it will be necessary to expend a further $74,000.00 for a
temporary pumping station that will be disbanded once the gravity
sewer line is installed and further that serious problems, with the
Centre Street pumping station have been found, the Committee would
recommend that Council authorize this bill to be paid so that
construction of the sewer line can proceed or direct the
Clerk-Administrator to commence expropriation proceedings which in
the opinion of the Committee will be more costly but most of all
time consuming which will require cash outlays for in excess of Mr.
Stone's total bill.
Updating of Information Booklets
1,000 new information booklets have been received from the printers
at a total cost of $1,294.70 which was below the budgeted figure of
$1,500.00 for 1984.
The Committee recommends that these booklets be made available to
the public at a charge of $2.00 per booklet which would defray any
loss that might be experienced should these booklets require
updating again before they are all used up.
2. Priorities for 1985
(a) Construction of the Gravity Sewer Line from Industrial Park# 3 to
the St. John's Sideroad
The Committee recommends that all matters preventing this sewer line
from being completed should be resolved for the following reasons:

(iii) Revlis property will be serviced as soon as connections can be
made to this sewer line and the Industrial Parkway will become
1,320 feet closer to the St. John's Sideroad.
(b) Construction of Mary Street Extension
As three (3} large land sales have been made conditional upon full
services being available and further land sales will be made once
this roadway becomes a reality the Committee makes this their number
2 priority.
(c) Extension of the Industrial Parkway North from Revlis Property to
St. John's Sideroad
As this will complete the intentions of the Economic Development
Committee's eight (8) year plan for a truck by-pass of Yonge Street
from the Vandorf Sideroad to St. John's, it would be the Committee's
recommendation that Council agree in principle that this be
completed in 1985 and authorize that Reid and Associates draw up the
necessary plans so they can be ready for a tender call when funds
are available.
(d) Intersection Improvements at Vandorf Sideroad and Yonge Street
With more industries locating in the Industrial parks and because of
the difficulty transports are having making the turn from Yonge
Street to the Vandorf Road, the Committee would recommend that
Council direct Reid and Associates to prepare the necessary
engineering drawings so that this intersection can be improved as
soon as the necessary funds become available.
(e) Designation to Industrial for the Lands west of Bayview, North of
Wellinfton Street East (with the Exception of the Residential
Proper 1es on the north s1de of Wei l1n ton Street East that are
presently in a Rural Zone and south of St. John's Sideroad
The Committee feels that in fairness to the property owners on the
east side of Bayview and because the expansion of Aurora's
Industrial area could only go in this area and because the owners of
these lands have indicated their concurrence of this future use, the
Committee would recommend to Council, that designation only should
be seriously considered at this time.
The Committee recognizes that the Region has put a ceiling on the
total allocation of serviced Industrial lands to be 520 acres but
results of a November 1984 survey done by the Chairman of the
Economic Development Committee shows that there are 289 acres
presently utilized by industry and only 131 acres vacant and
available for industry making a total of 420 acres in all.
The Committee would also ask Council to direct the
Clerk-Administrator to arrange a meeting with the York Regional
Engineer to see if some consideration might be given to this
designation only and that zoning be delayed until the need for more
1ndustr1al land can be justified.

6. Letter 3-35: Director of Leisure Services: re: Community Centre
A Town grant of $73,350 was included in the 1984 Community Centre budget to

basis.

of the Community Centre debenture, it is important to realize that the
building is getting older and may require unexpected expenditures. A
reserve fund is suggested for this purpose.

6. Parking Agreement/Sterling Trust Building
In January 1979, the Town entered into an agreement with Rosenberg and
Company to provide public parking behind the Rosenberg building (currently
owned by Mrs. Pauline Brunner). The agreement provides public parking on the
"parking lot west of building 50 Yonge Street South, including driveway to
immediate south of building and right of way to/from Temperance Street."
"The parties hereto agree that the Town will pay the rent of $1.00 per year
for the property described above to be used as a public parking lot.
"In return for this rent, the Town shall:
1. Maintain the surface to a useable safe standard.
2. Continue to keep the parking lot lighted.
3. To maintain pavement markings to assure most efficient parking use
of space available.
4. To acknowledge the use of the property as public parking and accept
liability for the leased parking area from a maintenance and
operation standpoint, as if it were owned by the municipality.
5. In return for the rental paid, Rosenberg and Co. shall pay one third
of the cost of bringing the parking surface and accesses to a
repaired state.
"This agreement shall be an annual agreement from August 1, 1977 and for
each year to be renewed automatically by the parties, subject to
cancellation by either party on four (4) months' written notice to the other
party after the first year."
Mrs. Brunner has been advised by the Assessment Department and Treasury
staff that the annual taxes paid on the parking lot area was $991.40 in
1984. Mrs. Brunner points out that as this is a public parking lot, "as if
it were owned by the municipality", she should not be required to pay
property taxes.
The Committee is of the opinion that the majority of the parking spaces
provided are required for the tenants of the Sterling Trust building and
recommends no action be taken to change the terms of the agreement and Mrs.
Brunner be advised accordingly.

The Committee noted that a publication is available annually for all
Province of Ontario grants at a cost of $2.00 and information as to federal
grants is made available on a regular basis.

returned to STM Corporation.
9. Federation of Associations on the Canadian Environment

Present Were: Councillor E. Stewart and Director of Public Works, Wm. Walker. Mr.
B. Peyton of Reid & Associates was present during the initial part
of the meeting. Councillor L. Ostick was on vacation out of the

result of illness.
1. Bicycle-Proof Catchbasin Grates
The Committee would recommend that the Town continue in its policy of
specifying bicycle-proof catchbasin grates for future residential,
industrial development and capital works projects as has been the case over
the years.
2. Dunning Avenue East Of The Edward Street Realignment Disposal Of Surplus
Land As A Result Of The Edward Street Realignment
Being that the reconstruction of Dunning Avenue from Edward Street to Yonge
Street will effectively consume all available subsidy dollars in 1985, being
that to reconstruct Dunning Avenue east of the realigned Edward
Street/Dunning Avenue intersection would cost in the order of an additional
$100,000.00, the Committee recommend that the portion of Dunning Avenue east
of the realigned intersections not be reconstructed at this time but rather
