The Director of Public Works reports that this matter has been dealt with
through the February Works Committee report.
4. Letter # 4-89 -Granada Investments re: Sidewalks
The Director of Works advised that the Works Committee have dealt with this
request and thus concluded that the sidewalks should stay in the plans and
Town Policy should be followed. For general safety reasons the members of
the Safety Committee feel the sidewalks should stay in the plans and would
recommend same.
5. Letter # 6-49 -February Fire Report
The Chairman would highlight that four (4} resuscitator calls were responded
to and four (4} water/flooding assistance calls occurred. The Committee
feels that the Fire Department should only respond to a flooded basement if
it is determined to be a life threatening matter. The Works Department have
recommended a policy that would see them respond provided that no Town
liability situation is occurring at the same time. As well, they recommend
a charge back to the resident.

C. LeRoij is inquiring as to the follow-up to recommendations made by the
Safety Committee for this area of Aurora Heights between Laurentide and
Bigwin. The Director of Works provided the following status report:
(i) Sidewalks for Aurora Heights/Bigwin to Laurentide:
The Director of Works will provide a cost estimate for same before
the next meeting. It will be necessary for 50% of the homeowners
fronting Aurora Heights to be in favour of assuming the cost if this
is to be considered a local improvement.
(ii) Warrants for a Stop Sign and/or Crossing Guard:
The Director of Works recommends that we wait until the Spring to do
warrants for a more accurate accounting. Several students may be
getting rides to school in the Winter and usage is not optimum now.

The Treasury Department advise that there are numerous outstanding accounts
for the BIA levy for 1983 and 1984. A great number of the business people
are objecting to paying this levy as they are not members of the
association. They claim they are unable to obtain any answers from the BIA
Board of Management.
Treasury staff have requested some direction with regard to the collection
of their accounts by the Bailiff or the Collection Agency.
Reference is made to item 2 of Audit Committee Report # 35 which was adopted
by Council on April 16, 1984 as follows:
"In discussing the special levy for the BIA, Mr. Reid advised that the
normal procedure is to include any surplus or deficit from the previous
years but this is a Council decision. He suggested that the BIA levy should
be by by-law rather than resolution.
"The Committee recommends that a By-1 aw be prepared to approve the BIA levy
when authorized by Co unci 1."
Section 17, 18, 19 and 20 of the Municipal Act are as follows:
II ( 17) Subject to such maximum and minimum charges as the Council may
specify by by-law, the Council shall in each year levy a special
charge upon persons in the area assessed for business assessment
sufficient to provide a sum equal to the sum of money provided for
the purposes of the Board of Management for that area, together with
interest thereon at such rate as is required to repay any interest
payable by the municipality on the whole or any part of such sum,
which shall be borne and paid by such persons in the proportion that
the assessed value of the real property that is used as the basis
for computing the business assessment of each of such persons bears
to the assessed value of all the real property in the area used as
the basis for computing business assessment.
"(18} Notwithstanding subsection (17}, the Council may by by-law provide
that the sum required for the purposes mentioned therein shall be
levied as a special charge upon and shall be borne and paid by

persons in the area assessed for business assessment who in the
opinion of the Council derive special benefit from the establishment
of the area, and the sum chargeable to such persons shall be
equitable apportioned among them in accordance with the benefits
that, in the opinion of the Council, accrue to them from the
establishment of the area.
"(19) Before the Council passes a by-1 aw specifying maximum and minimum
charges under subsection (17) or a by-law under subsection (18),
notice of the proposed by-law shall be,
(a) published at least once a week for four successive weeks, and
the by-law shall not be passed until after the expiry or
fourteen days following the day on which the notice was last
published; or
(b) given in the same manner as a notice of a proposed by-law under
subsection (2), and the by-law shall not be passed until the
expiry of thirty days next following the latest day of the
mailing of any such notices.
"(20) Any person who would be liable to a special charge levied in
accordance with a by-law proposed to be passed by the Council of a
municipality under subsection (17) specifying maximum or minimum
charges or under subsection (18) may object to the proposed by-law
by filing written notice of the objection with the Clerk of the
municipality before the expiry of the period mentioned in clause
(19)(a) or (b), as the case may be."
In addition, there is a need of an agreement with the BIA Board of
Management regarding potential legal claims for damage to cars, etc., due to
planters, and determine date for placing and picking up planters and
benches.
The Committee recommends that a meeting be arranged with the BIA Board of
Management to review the above.
2. Fire Fighters Hockey Team
The Aurora Fire Fighter Hockey Team will be hosting the Sarnia Fire Fighters
in the near future. It is normal that Fire Departments exchange gifts. A
request has been received for 25 July First Beer Mugs and a July First flag.
The Committee recommends that these items be made available to the Fire
Fighters at cost price.
3. Transient Traders
Section 232(17) of the Municipal Act states:
"Subject to clause (e), the fee to be paid for a licence in the case of a
transient trader should not be less than $100 in any municipality and shall
not exceed in a city or town $500 and in a township or vi 11 age $300."
Treasury advise that our current fee is $250 and they do not recommend any
change at this time.

Report # 31 -Planning Committee .•. Various Matters (continued)
A.
1.
DELEGATION
Mr. A. Derkowski re: Avery/Boland Proposed Plan of Subdivision, Part Lots
76 & 77, Cone. 1, WYS, Bathurst Street
Mr. Derkowski presented a revised plan of subdivision on behalf of the
Avery's and Boland's. The proposed plan is for 18 urban residential lots,
10 suburban residential lots and an open space block. This proposal, a
slight departure from the land use configuration passed in Official Plan
Amendment No. 27, is based on new information regarding sewerage in the
area. Mr. Derkowski has proposed to alter the street pattern in order to
better reflect the local topography.
The Committee recommends this be received for information and awaits a
further report from Technical Committee.
B. REPORTS
1. Use of Propane Fuelling Facilities
2.
Staff have been approached by members of the public about the possibility of
establishing propane dispensing stations within the Town. Due to the very
specific definitions of "Automobile Service Station" and "Gasoline Bar" in
By-law 2213-78, propane dispensing stations are not a permitted use within
the Town.
The Committee recommends that this matter be scheduled for the next
available public meeting to determine if the existing automobile service
stations and gasoline bars should be permitted to retail propane and if it
is advisable to permit them elsewhere.
Official Plan Amendment No. 35 -Beacon Hall & Letters #6-28, 6-29, 6-53 &
B. Halpenny, Marshal I, Mackl1n, Monaghan
The Committee discussed the proposed Official Plan amendment and
correspondence relating thereto. The issues are as follows:
1. Water availability and quality have arisen as issues in the proposed
plan. The Town's Municipal engineers, the engineering consultants
for the developer and the Ministry of the Environment support the
use of private wells and a communal water system in the development
and are satisfied that the deeper aquifer can supply sufficient
water without causing significant interference with or contamination
of existing wells.
However, the Regional engineering department and the Medical Officer
of Health have expressed some concern about the ability of the
aquifer to support this development. The Region is concerned that
the construction of deep drilled wells could possibly lead to the
contamination of the deeper aquifer.
The Committee recommends that since the Ministry of the Environment,
which is the approval agency, cannot identify any technical reasons
that would preclude the development proposal, the Town should
proceed with the application.
2. The Committee also recommends that all those who have requested
additional information in,relation to this proposal be circulated
with copies of the draft amendment and given two weeks in which to
comment.

2. Official Plan Amendment No. 35 -Beacon Hall & Letters #6-28, 6-29, 6-53 &
B. Halpenny, Marshal I, Mackl1n, Monaghan (cont1nued)
3. An impasse has been reached between the developer and the Cemetery
Board over lands to be made available for the future expansion of
the Aurora Cemetery. The architects for the developer have
explained that their proposal for the cemetery expansion is based on
topography, location of existing trees, and will save the existing
stable. The Cemetery Board's concern about the pattern of surface
drainage can be mitigated with some minor grading.
The Cemetery Board have asked for the expansion land to extend as
far as the present eastern boundary of the existing Cemetery. The
applicants are willing to give additional land to the south if
necessary although this would require relocation of the road which
may be costly.
The Committee recommends that the developer's proposal for the
configuration of lands for future cemetery expansion be accepted.
Draft Official Plan Amendment No. 35, sketches of the two proposals
for the Cemetery expansion lands and a letter from the applicant's
architects are attached.
3. Overtime
4.
The Committee discussed Mrs. Seibert's report and recommends that it be
forwarded to Council for information. A copy of this report is attached
hereto.
Heritage Canada Foundation
Heritage Canada has designed a three-year program which provides training
for persons involved in carrying out the implementation of downtown
projects. Seventy municipalities across Ontario will be selected to
participate in the program which will run at no cost to the municipality
other than the salary of the person being trained. Application to the
program must be made by the 1st of April. Applying to the program does not
put the municipality under any obligation to participate in the program but
does leave the option open to Council.
The Committee therefore recommends that application forms be completed and
forwarded to Heritage Canada.
5. Condominium Applications
The Committee discussed Mrs. Seibert's report and agree with the
recommendation that application forms etc., be amended to extend the current
subdivision application requirements to condominiums in order to ensure that
a procedure for circulation, etc., be followed in respect to condominium
applications.
C. RECEIVED FOR RECOMMENDATION
1. #4-21 -OP-45-84 -Wardlaw/Taylor/Kelly/Hunter Proposed Official Plan
Amendment, Old Yonge Street
This application was discussed at a special meeting of Council on November
28, 1984, at which time Council recommended that it be dealt with in
connection with the ongoing Official Plan Review. The applicants are now
requesting that this matter be dealt with sooner as it may be quite some
time yet before the new Official Plan is approved.

REPORTS OF COMMITTEES
Report# 31-Planning Committee ••• Various Matters (continued)
1. #4-21 -OP-45-84-Wardlaw/Taylor/Kelly/Hunter Proposed Official Plan
Amendment, Old Yonge Street (continued)
The Committee recommends that this application be undertaken as a separate
study apart from the Official Plan Review and that a report outlining the
alternatives for the area be prepared for a future Planning Committee
meeting.
2. #4-48 -Committee of Adjustment Remuneration
The Planning Committee discussed the letter from the Chairman of the
Committee of Adjustment regarding remuneration of Committee of Adjustment
members and indicating the work being done by those members. This was
compared with a list of procedures undertaken by Town staff.
The Planning Committee requests that this matter be dealt with by Council in
Committee in camera since it is in regard to staff.
3. R. Harrington's memo & #4-85 -St. Andrews Village re: Signage
The Committee discussed Mr. Harrington's recommendations on the requests of
St. Andrews Village respecting signs for their development.
The Committee recommends that the subject of size and number of pylon signs
be referred to the next Planning Committee meeting, at which time the new
draft Sign By-law will be available.
With respect to awnings, the Committee recommends that St. Andrews Village
be advised that only one awning is permitted per premises in the existing
Sign By-law.
Regarding wooden, non-illuminated hanging signs, the Committee recommends
that these be permitted on private property and that the new Sign By-law
make provision for these.
The Committee also recommends that St. Andrews Village be requested to
supply a plan showing where these signs are to be located prior to any
permits being issued.

REPORTS OF COMMITTEES
Report# 31-Planning Committee ... Various Matters (continued)
D. COMMITTEE OF ADJUSTMENT
1. A-1-85-Magna International Inc., 67 Richardson Drive
The applicant requests permission for a carport constructed in October of
1971 to encroach into the east side yard, leaving .896 metres (2.94 feet)
setback from the lot line where 1.2 metres (3.94 feet) is required.
Since the carport has existed with no complaints or problems for more than
13 years and since there are no structures opposite said carport, the
Committee recommends that no objections be made to this application.
2. A-2-85 -D. & B. Butterworth, 85 Richardson Drive
The applicants request permission for side yard encroachments of a garage
and covered patio constructed in October of 1968 and September of 1971
respectively. The requested variances are as follows:
Date of Construction
Required Side Yard
Existing Side Yard
Encroachment
West Side Yard
(garage)
October 1968
1.2m (3.94 ft.)
.76m (2.49 ft.)
. 44mm( 1.44 ft.)
East Side Yard
(covered patio)
September 1971
1.2m (3.94 ft.)
.91m (2.99 ft.)
.29m ( .95ft.)
Since the garage and covered patio have existed with no problems or
complaints for 16 and 13 years respectively, and since there are no
structures opposite these on the neighbouring properties, the Committee
recommends that no objections be made to this application.
3. A-3-85 -Southold Investments, Lot 149, Plan 65M-2247, Abbott Avenue
The applicant requests a minor variance to reduce the exterior side yard
requirement for Lot 149 on Registered Plan 65M-2247. The required exterior
side yard is 6 metres (19.69 feet) but because the lot is irregularly
shaped, the applicant is requesting permission for the northwest corner of
the house to extend 2 metres (6.56 feet) into the required side yard. The
southwest corner of the house would be the required 6 metres (19.69 feet)
from the lot line.
The Committee recommends that no objections be made to this application.
4. B-8-84-Gullo Enterprises Limited, Bayview Avenue
The applicant requests a consent to sever a parcel of land with an area of
1.97 hectares (4.87 acres) and 129.86 metres (426.05 feet) of frontage on
Bayview Avenue. One dwelling exists on the parcel to be severed.
The lands to be retained have an area of 35.5 hectares (87.72 acres) and a
combined frontage of 160.24 metres (525.72 feet), also on Bayview Avenue. A
dwelling, a garage and a barn exist on the lands to be retained.
The Town of Aurora passed By-Law No. 2444-81 to facilitate the requested
severance. This site specific zoning amendment brought the proposed
severance into conformity with by-law provisions by reducing the frontage
and area requirements.
In August of 1976, the applicant was in the process of applying for a
building permit to permit the erection of the dwelling located on the lands
proposed to be severed. A letter from the applicant's solicitors dated
August 13, 1976 stated that it was intended to keep the property intact,

4. B-8-84-Gullo Enterprises Limited, Bayview Avenue (continued)
that the dwelling already existing on the lot was to be occupied by people
assisting in the maintenance of the property and that," ..• there is no
intent to sever the new dwelling house to be erected from the presently
existing dwelling house." Because the applicant was effectively requesting
permission for two dwellings on one lot, the matter was brought before
Council. Council recommended a permit be issued based on the solicitor's
1 etter.
The Planning Committee therefore recommends that the Town object to the
granting of a severance on these lands since the original intent was to keep
the property intact.

6. Letter -H. Weinberg, Commissioner of Planning, York Region re: Proposed
O.P.A. 34, Town of Newmarket
This letter was added to the Committee's agenda because the Regional
Planning Department expressed an urgency for comments since it is
anticipated that this matter will be dealt with soon by Regional Council.
Proposed O.P.A. 34, Town of Newmarket
The Committee recommends that the Town object to the proposed amendment to
Newmarket's Official Plan which would permit the establishment of a
commercial use just north of the Aurora/Newmarket boundary on Yonge Street.
The Committee feels that such a development erodes all policies for urban
separators, that it would be undesireable to have such a project so near
Aurora's boundary, that traffic problems would result, and that unfair
competition would be created for Aurora's merchants.
The meeting adjourned at 10:00 p.m.
