LIMITED 235 Queen Street, Port Perry - 985-7383 tor IEE Saintfield man agrees to apply for re-zoning A Saintfield man who admits he has been selling used cars from his highway property in contravention of a Township by-law, says he's will: ing to apply for a re-zoning to clear up the problem. Bill Wray, appeared before coun- cil on Monday afternoon to discuss problems he's been having with the municipality over the sale of used cars and other matters that have prompted several complaints from residents living nearby. Mr. Wray, who also fixes cars in a garage on his property, told coun- cillors that he's more than willing to apply for the proper zoning which will allow the sale of used cars. He stated that used car sales account for "90 per cent of my business. If I lose that I'm out-of business." Neighbours have also complained to the municipality about renova- tions started by Mr. Wray to his garage. He wanted to add a large door to the garage which would give him two bays for working. The Township put a stop-work order on - the renovations because he didn't apply for a building permit. Mr. Wray told council he didn't think he - needed a permit to install a large door. : During a discussion, Mayor Jerry Taylor said the complaints from the neighbours centered around the sale of the used cars, which is not per- mitted on the property under the terms of the Township zoning by- laws.

Wray and the neighbours who have been com- plaining should meet with council in an effort to iron out any problems. Mr. Wray said he would be willing to do this. ile also said he'd be willing to put © a fence around the part of the pro- perty where used cars are for sale, and change the style of the garage doors to make them more attractive. Council was told that when Mr. Wray first bought the property on Highway 12, he was told by municipal staff that selling used cars there is not permitted under the zoning laws. Ward 2 councillor Howard Hall told the meeting Monday afternoon that if the by-laws say cars can't bé sold, the practise must stop. Simpson supported Township council has unanimous- ly agreed to endorse a request from a local auto parts manufacturer which calls for guarantees that new foreign car makers locating in Canada play by the same rules as other auto makers. The request came from senior ex- ecutives at the A.G. Simpson Co., which operates parts plants in several Ontario locations, including Port Perry. - In a letter to council, the company executives stated that "it is becom- ing increasingly clear that the Asian investments announ ced so far will contribute little to. CVA (Canadian Value Added) to the economy and very few sourcing opportunities for the Canadian supplier community." All that we are asking of the off- shore auto makers that locate in Canada is that they assume the same obligations to the Canadian economy as required by those manufacturers who form part of the Auto Pact," the letter states. Councillors agreed, and letters of support will be mailed to federal MP Allan Lawrence and provincial MPP Ross Stevenson. A.G. Simpson employs about 200 people at its plant just south of Port Perry. Its main product is the pro- duction of sliding tracks for car and trucks seats. | JAZZ at Emiel's Place Saturday, February 15, 1986 featuring "TORONTO JAZZ QUINTET" Phone 985-2066 for reservations and more details.
