Council Meeting Minutes - 4 - June 3, 2013
DELEGATIONS
Otto Provenzano addressed Council concerning Item D - 10 - Sidewalk Snow Clearing
Charges. Mr. Provenzano stated during this past winter there were two big
snowstorms when the plows pushed all the snow from road onto the sidewalk. He
advised his tenant tried to keep the walkway clear, his son could not clear the snow
using a snow blower due to the weight and even his contractor could not plow the
sidewalk because of the utility poles and the telephone box. Mr. Provenzano stated
that during a regular snow fall, he is able to keep the sidewalk clear but these were
exceptional circumstances. He questioned why the Municipality does not use a
bobcat to clear all the sidewalks. Mr. Provenzano introduced his tenant who
confirmed that they had paid someone to clear the sidewalk but the plows came by
and re-plowed the snow back onto the sidewalk. She called the Municipality to
request assistance and was told there was no manpower available; however, the next
day the sidewalk was cleared and Mr. Provenzano received an invoice.
Mr. Provenzano requested Council to cancel the invoice for snow clearing and
suggested that the speed limit and the speed the plows travel should be reduced to
avoid this in the future.
Jay Arteaga addressed Council concerning Correspondence Item D – 9 - Request for
Exemption to Sign By-law. Mr. Arteaga stated he is the owner of Platinum Fitness in
Courtice and employs 30 staff members. He has recently expanded the business to
open Courtice Cross Fit. He stated he was addressing Council regarding his inability
to get a temporary permit for an advertising sign under the provisions of Clarington’s
Sign By-law. Mr. Arteaga stated his current sign is displayed on an existing real
estate board sign on private property and does not fall under the criteria of the sign
by-law. Mr. Arteaga stated he has used this sign in the past without incident with the
owner’s permission and he is requesting a temporary exemption to the Sign By-law to
advertise his summer program until the end of July.

challenges, potential and opportunities that are not restricted to the

host to IWTs in North Middlesex;

Council needs to maintain a fair and balanced viewpoint;

applications through the traditional zoning requirements under the
planning act approvals for wind project developments are now controlled
by the Ministry of Environment through the Renewable Energy Approval
process, a legislative development that the council strongly opposes;

municipality provide to wind project developers without charge access to
and use of its road for both construction and maintenance of its turbines
and electrical infrastructure, including transmission lines;

energy costs, by subsidizing the cost of energy by these wind projects, we
are limiting the future growth of Ontario;

community regarding IWT’s, the Province of Ontario and specifically the
Ministry of Environment be now advised that the Municipality of North
Middlesex is “NOT A WILLING HOST” for IWT’s;
