Ms. Hildegard Knowles, Resident re: Parking on the South Side of Reuben
Street After 6:00 p.m.
Ms. Knowles indicated that she was dissatisfied with the proposal to modify
current parking restrictions on Reuben Street. In her opinion, the source
of the parking congestion is the medica 1 building at 15064 Yonge Street,
which was constructed in 1974 with inadequate parking. This medical
building contains six practitioners plus laboratory workers, and is in use
from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., with only 12 parking spaces being provided.
The problem was addressed in 1985-1986 by Council's imposition of the
current parking restrictions. This has created a tolerable situation.
Noting that safety is the paramount consideration, Ms. Knowles requested
Council to leave the current parking re~trictions in place and to review the
issue of the parking spaces that have been provided for the medical building.
#462. Moved by Councillor Jones Seconded by Councillor Timpson
THAT the matter be referred to the Unfinished Business section of
the Agenda.
CARRIED
Mr. Michael Evans, Resident re: On Street Parking Restrictions, Reuben
Street
Mr. Evans indicated that as a resident of 15086 Yonge Street, and as a user
of the laneway that connects with Reuben Street, he was disturbed that he
had not received notification of the proposed parking modifications.
Mr. Evans stated that the problem was originally created when Council
allowed construction of a medical centre with insufficient parking spaces.
As a result, Reuben Street became the parking lot for the medical centre.
This made access to the 1 aneway off of Reuben Street very difficult and
would block the movement of fire vehicJes in an emergency. Moreover, the
parking congestion has created several plind spots for persons exiting from
the laneway and this has resulted in ,several accidents at that location.
Thus, Mr. Evans requested Council not to modify the current parking
arrangements.
#463. Moved by Councillor Weller Seconded by Councillor Timpson
THAT the matter be referred to the Unfinished Business section of
the Agenda.
CARRIED
Mannington Developments re: St. Andrews Subdivision
Mr. Bailey noted that Report PW91-090-309 characterizes the unfinished areas
of the St. Andrews-on-the-hill Subdivision as aesthetically unacceptable and
recommends the completion by the developer of curb top and boulevard
sodding. Mr. Bailey indicated that this was an unusual request, since such
work is typically done after homes have been constructed on indi vi dua 1
lots. Requiring the developer to perform this work in advance of such
construction would create additional expenditures of at least $104,000.00,
because much of the work might be damaged by builders when the houses are
constructed.
Mr. Bailey indicated that his corporation has initiated a program of cleanup
over the 1 ast 12 to 18 months, which has resulted in an improvment to the
appearance of the subdivision. He noted that the recent economic downturn
has resulted in a slowing of house construction, which in turn has slowed
the completion of curb top and boulevard sodding. Citing the developer's
excellent record of cooperation with the. Town, Mr. Bailey indicated
willingness to continue to clean up the subdivision, but requested Council
not to impose additional unnecessary costs on the developer in these
difficult economic times.
Aurora Council Minutes No. 39-91
Wednesday, August 28, 1991
- 3 -
In response from questions from Council, Mr. Bailey indicated that certain
debris had recently been removed, and that it was the developer's intention
to curb top and sod those areas which were in front of completed residences.
