FILE: V91/151
This department is in receipt of several complaints concerning problems involving your above noted
property. The lot is presently insecure, fences which were originally erected during the demolition
process have been allowed to fall into serious disrepair. Large quantites of material have never
been removed and pose a serious safety hazard. The site is in need of grading to level and correct
the ponding problems. .The Property Standards By-law requires the land to be "kept clean and free
from rubbish or other debris and from all objects or conditions that may create a health, fire or
safety hazard , as well, the land must be filled with suitable material or levelled so as to be level
with the surrounding grade." The Waste Material By-law defines demolition material as industrial
waste and prohibits the "dumping or disposing of garbage, refuse or domestic waste or industrial
waste of any kind."
As for the problem under the Sign By-law, the By-law requires that signs cannot be up until 60
days before the development is under way. At present there appears to be no action on the site.
In order to resolve the above problems it will be necessary to remove all the debris from the site,
grade and level the property and remove the sign.
