CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON
40 TEMPERANCE STREET, BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO L1C 3A6 T 905-623-3379
REPORT NO.: CLD-008-10 PAGE 2
BACKGROUND AND COMMENT
98 King Street West Bowmanville is a commercial property owned by Angelina and
Dominick Forsellino. The property contains approximately 35 parking spaces. Mr.
Forsellino has called the Municipality on several occasions to report vehicles parked on
his property without his permission. These vehicles are often merchants and
customers from the surrounding area including the flower shop to the east of his
property which shares a small portion of the parking lot with him.
A similar concern has been raised by Mrs. Ingrid Hill, owner of 191 Church Street
Bowmanville, the property directly behind 98 King Street West. Both properties share
the driveway and parking lot facilities.
Rather than continue to rely on the Parking Enforcement Officers to respond to his
complaints, Mr. Forsellino has requested that he be appointed as a Parking
Enforcement Officer to attend to the parking concerns on his own lot and that of Mrs.
Hill. Mrs. Hill has submitted a letter stating that Mr. Forsellino has her permission to
ticket vehicles in her parking lot.
Staff routinely receive requests from private property owners to appoint security
companies to enforce parking on their lots, however it is rare for a property owner to ask
for the authority to do the work themselves. The precedent for this was set in 2007
when Council granted permission to the owners of the property located at 234 King
Street East to enforce their own parking lot. Since that time there have no reported
problems or concems with the enforcement of this property.
Concerns have been raised by the merchant located directly east of the property as this
will directly affect her customers and her ability to receive and make deliveries.
Mr. Forsellino has submitted the necessary paperwork and, should he be appointed, he
will receive instruction from the Municipal Law Enforcement Division on his duties and
responsibilities.
