Councillor Marcel Brunelle said Drumni may be worrying needlessly. Brunel le said he has never seen a sea guil flying about McDonaid's Thickson Road out- let. "I don't share his concerns about sea gulls on the four cor- ners of town,» said Brunelle. While he had no opinion on sea gulis, councillor Dennis Fox agreed with Drumni that "gar- bavee control» is a probleni. 'It's not necessarily the fault of McDonald's, but the patrons,» said Fox. He said discarded food wrap- pers and soft drink containers are a concern in the area. "Corbett Creek gets plugged, it (litter) blows into peop e's yards," said Fox. Planning director Bob Short said the location and size of on-site bulk garbage containers must be approved by Town staff, but that the placement of small trash receptacles is left to the restaurant owner. "Once y ou go beyond. what McDonald's does on its own, it's, up to the public," said Short. In addition to the potential gil and garbage problems, DruÎmn was concerned about other fast food outiets locating in the imniediate area of the McDonald's site. However,' Short said there are no «firm» proposais or applica- tions for restaurants on nearby property. Following the meeting, Drumni insisted that the restaurant will invite sea guls. "People liv'ing north of there will be the recipients,» said Drumnn, adding that he had no idea how to control the birds. As for more restaurants in the area, Drunm said council may not be able to prevent it. «When a fast food restaurant moves in there will be a Harvýey's or a chicken place as well. You won't see a Sears in there." REFRIGERATORS 1og~ar.money ak uarantee aotthe Onario ro rebates!
