removed vehicles piled higher than the fence and vehicles left outside the fence Sheldon also wasnt pleased the fill was brought in before the application was sought Lusty explained some vehicles outside the fence are licenced so they are hard to have moved and sometimes people just dump junk outside the fence when the yard isn open a problem other wreckers also face Miller was concerned the public would feel the yards licence has been renewed when it t conform to the Town bylaw but that hasnt been the case It Isn an illegal operation he added The yard has been there a long lime its a bad location but there isn t much that can be done about it Lusty noted All the yards have similar conditions so the Town be picking on just Halton Auto Wreckers Councillor Tom Hill said Just because there are problems at other yards too doesnt make the situation right Sheldon countered She said it was the owners problem to clean up the situation and she felt strict conditions on the fill application would help Clerkadministrator Ken Richardson said the yard licence is up for renewal soon and It the TuwnscoDditlons arent met by June licence can be revoked Miller pointed out the Niagara
