Minutes
October 15, 2012
Catherine Love was present regarding Report LGL-006-12, Lease of Closed Road
Allowance (Bond Street) To Sheryl and Stan Zuly, 627 Mill Street South, Newcastle.
Ms. Love made a verbal presentation to accompany a handout to Committee. She
thanked the Committee for moving the issue along quickly. Ms. Love provided
background on the issue. She noted that her family is in support of family garden
commitments but that the garden on the road allowance adjacent to her property will
impede her family's privacy. Ms. Love suggested that the Zuly's either use their own
property or an alternative abutting property for a garden. She stated that it is her
intention to ensure that her own landscaping is in keeping with the surrounding
landscaping. She confirmed that she would have no issues should the unopened road
allowance be used as a public parking lot or roadway. Ms. Love restated her request
that the current lease with the Zuly's, permitting a garden on the road allowance, not be
renewed in May, 2013.
Stan Zuly was present regarding Report LGL-006-12, Lease of Closed Road Allowance
(Bond Street) To Sheryl and Stan Zuly, 627 Mill Street South, Newcastle. Mr. Zuly
explained that he and his wife are the tenants of the lease in question. He provided the
Committee with background information on the issue and how he prepared for his
delegation. Mr. Zuly stated that he had not planted any trees on the unopened road
allowance. He added that any trees on the property were already there when they
entered into the lease. Mr. Zuly provided the Committee with descriptions of three
previous encounters with Mr. & Mrs. Love. He explained that the Zuly property is low
and swampy and therefore not conducive to a garden. Mr. Zuly reviewed Ms. Love's
reasons for her request for termination of the lease, which include an invasion of privacy
and nuisance. He provided the Committee with a definition of both invasion of privacy
and nuisance and explained that he does not believe that the Zuly's use of the road
allowance meets either definition. Mr. Zuly stated that he believes that the Love's have
a vendetta against he and his wife. He requested that the Committee deny Ms. Love's
request that the Municipality of Clarington terminate the lease. Mr. Zuly informed the
Committee that they have recently won a Community in Blooms award for their gardens
which demonstrates their commitment to maintaining their gardens.
