HomeMy WebLinkAboutWD-90-80 v -- TOWN OF NEWCASTLE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT Director's Report to Public Works Committee. ITEM: WD-90-80. DATE: June 19, 1980. SUBJECT: Request for Removal of Parking Meter. BACKGROUND: The Town has received a request from Mr. Laskaris, the owner of the building between St. John's Anglican Church and the passageway giving access to the rear of the stores fronting King Street, to remove one parking meter on the east side of Temperance Street. Mr. Laskaris has said that the building is presently vacant, but he wishes to rent it to a taxi company; a condition of rental of the building is that the Owner provides parking for the taxi cabs. REPORT: Mr. Laskaris made the suggestion that two off-street parking stalls could be provided along the south side of his building but, in order to gain access to this area, one parking meter and stall would have to be removed from Temperance Street. From an on-site inspection it was determined that only one off-street stall could be accommodated in the area suggested and, even with this provision, the abovementioned meter and stall would require removal. The metered parking stall could be moved more northerly towards the passageway, but this would be in contravention of By-Law 79-1 which states: "A vehicle cannot be parked within one (1) metre of a drive- way" (Section 5:A) . RECOMMENDATION: THAT the request for the removal of a parking meter from the east side of Temperance Street be denied and that the application, Mr. Laskaris, be so notified. JF:vh ��r 1f' C �3 ) George Laskaris, 3 Sunicrest Court, BOWMANVILLE. Ont. L1C 3V3. 1.980. 06. 19. Dear Mr. Ferguson: I have already contacted you about removing a parking meter from the front of the premises located at 17 Temperance Street South in Bowmanville because we have room for two cars to park and this parking meter blocks this space. The store used to be rented by a taxi company some time ago. Now I have made an agreement with the DeLuxe Taxi Service for them to rent the store but with the agreement that the parking meter be removed. Thank you, GEORGE LASKARIS. Typed as written:vh.
