ONTARIO L 1C 3A6 T 905-623-3379 F 905-623-6506 - 1\ 04 l >c REPORT NO.: CLD-25-02 PAGE 2 of3 BACKGROUND In 2001 Municipal Law Enforcement staff received numerous complaints of vehicles and equipment being parked on the north side of Cedarcrest Beach Road in Bowmanville, On initial inspection, the officers found a large number of cars, trucks, trailers and various pieces of equipment parked or stored on the north side of the road, The residents were issued notices warning that their vehicles would be tagged and possibly towed away if the situation was not rectified. As a result of subsequent investigations, it was revealed that the road encroaches on the properties of 67, 69, 71 and 75 Cedarcrest Beach Road, This has resulted in a lack of adequate parking space on the properties involved, Staff enlisted the assistance of the Engineering and Operations Departments in order to find a workable solution, The area was surveyed to determine the exact variance of the road and the extent of the trespass, A meeting was then arranged with Enforcement, Engineering, Operations, Planning and the local residents. CORRECTIVE ACTION The road in the area of 67 to 75 Cedarcrest is to be relocated to the north back onto the original road allowance. The fronts of the affected properties will be restored and reseeded/resodded, The cost of the project has been estimated to be approximately $10,000, with the funds to be allocated from the Loosetop Maintenance Account 7209-00411-X. Once this is completed, Enforcement staff will begin dealing with the illegal parking issues, Staff recognize that the residents of the beachfront are in a very distinct situation as compared to other homeowners, Erosion from Lake Ontario has effectively reduced the size of their lots over the years, The Municipality currently permits residents to purchase one on-street parking pass per property, Because of the unique situation in this area, it is proposed that the residents on Cedarcrest Beach Road be allowed to obtain two yearly passes for the price of one monthly pass, These are to be used for currently plated, operational, private motor 1105 . ~' REPORT NO.: CLD-25-02 PAGE 3 OF 3 vehicles only, Any commercial trucks, boats, trailers, equipment, etc, are to be parked or stored on the resident's own lot. Vehicles not bearing a valid pass or vehicles incorrectly displaying a pass will be subject to ticketing, Repeated misuse of the pass may result in the revocation of the pass, Staff propose to launch a program to advise the local residents of these changes and allow them time to acquire their passes, These changes and proposals were discussed with the local residents in a meeting held at the Municipal Administrative Centre in April. At that time, the residents indicated their support for this proposal. The Director of FinancefTreasurer has reviewed and concurs with the above recommendations.
