Present Were:
A. DELEGATIONS
Councillor G. Timpson, Chairman; Councillors M. Paivio,
E. Buck; Planner S. Seibert; Secretary R.J. Harrington.
1. Avery Boland Proposed Plan of Subdivision
Mr. A. Derkowski, Planner appeared before the Committee outlining
reasons for not joining the proposed cul-de-sac with the
cul-de-sac on the adjoining subdivision. He explained that joining
the two cul s-de-sac would produce grades steeper than the ones
planned with one cul-de-sac. Mr. Derkowski indicated he and his
clients could accept the other revisions to the plan suggested by
the Town Planner at the Public Meeting of March 26, 1986.
The Committee advised Mr. Derkowski since Council had previously
determined the cul-de-sac issue, that it could not deal with the
matter, but he could approach the next Council meeting April 21,
1986 to discuss the issue.
The Committee recommends the following:
i) the Town of Aurora prepare implementing the zoning by-law; and
ii) the Town of Aurora prepare conditions of draft approval.
2. St. Andrews Village Proposed Extension to Existing Mall and
Proposed Residential Development
Mr. Roger Elliot, So 1 i ci tor for the owner addressed the Committee
and explained the problem of the two applications being done
together, slowing down the commercial extension to the mall. He
showed the Committee two alternate residential subdivision plans,
and the proposed commercial extension to the mall. A 20,000 to
25,000 square foot Food Store, acting as an "Anchor Store",
necessary to make malls viable, is planned. The remainder would be
shops, with total area of the planned extension to be approximately
35,000 square feet. The concerns raised at the March 26, 1986
Public Meeting were also discussed with Mr. Elliot.
The Committee recommends that the commercial extension proceed, and
that the owners submit a Site Plan to the Town.
The Committee further recommends that Third Reading of the By-1 aw
approving the Offici a 1 Plan Amendment to the res i denti a 1 1 ands be

industry coming to Town because of insufficient Industrial land
being available.
The Committee, in keeping with the Mayor's recommendation to
designate available sewage capacity to industrial development,
would strongly recommend that the Town proceed with the designation
of lands as identified in our Official Plan Review north of
We 11 i ngton Street and west of Bayview Avenue. Further, it is

The Committee a 1 so recommends that the Town of Aurora proceed to
designate the lands south of Wellington Street on the west side of
Bayview Avenue (Magna) as reviewed in the draft Official Plan for
industrial use conditional upon no heavy stamping use (excessive
noise) and no paint (obnoxious odors) use.
