Lusty reported Councillors heard two presentations from Limehouse residents concerned about the Auto Wreckers operation and about people from attended the meeting Mary Shier said the Limehouse residents she was representing live in the heart of the village and In the vicinity of the wrecking yard She reviewed the bylaw governing wrecking yard operations and pointed out areas where she and residents felt the operation in Limehouse doesnt conform to the regulations Residents have been extremely tolerant of the operation which has been less than adequate for most of its 13 years in The fencing I uniform around the yard tame is made of galvanized steel and fiber glass The multicolored fence is even made of the backends of old milk trucks In one spot Mrs Shier said Vehicles are piled above the level of the top of the fence another Contravention of the bylaw and while nothing Is to be stored outside the yard there are a number of vehicles sitting outside regularly Mrs Shier said the yard leaves a lot to be in terms of neatness She thanked Lusty s efforts in finally having profanity on the fence removed after two years and the removal of Industrial containers which had been outside the fence The residents urged frequent monitoring of the operation and a deadline of June 1 for the clean up the same as council recently Imposed when it supported a Niagara Escarpment Commission fill placement application made by the owner of the yard Fred She said residents arent asking the yard be removed they accept that It Is going to stay in the village but they feel the owner should operate Ihe yard as a good neigh and show some community pride Residents have complained to the Town about the vehicles parked outside the fence off and on for the past years Mrs Shier said Neighbor Terrell Tanner who had fill placed on his land by Auto Wreckers said they havent reached an agreement on the encroachment He said council misinterpret his objection to fill being placed on his property as support for the present condition of the yard Lusty told the councillors it Is difficult to have the vehicles outside the fence moved because they are licenced He noted over tons of salvage will be removed from the yard the next few weeks which should mean junk isn piled above the fence level has said he will fix the fence as soon as weather permits Lusty reported There may be a problem In having vehicles moved inside because the road encroaches on Tolton property which means he Is parking them on his own land the bylaw enforcement officer noted Both Councillors Sheldon and John McDonald suggested the yard be given just a six month licence but staff favored giving a one year licence and revoking it and taking court action If the problems are not solved by June If wrecking yard vehicles are parked In the Llmehouse School parking lot people should deal with the Halton Board of lion on that problem the residents were told Ice cream carts allowed at park Ice cream carts will be allowed to sell at Prospect Park but only under conditions set down by the Town such as only operating in designated parking spots Monday general committee approved rec reation director Tom recom mendations including hawkers and ped dlers must be properly licenced and have written Town permission to enter municipal parks A fee of will be charged for Ice cream carts for a designated parking spot where they can sell noted by allowing the Ice cream carts in the park It would allow the public a product sold but more Importantly would also regulate where and how the products are being sold He Bald it was unfair to prevent entry to the park but Shepard also suggested var conditions now imposed on minor ball in operating the snack bar be used to control the ice cream carts The ball association has exclusive right to sell food at the snack bar but cant sell else where in the park Locations where food can be sold must be restricted to protect the peo ple using the park from being bothered by hawkers and peddlers Eden Mills Karate Club does well by Mrs MacDogaU Recent visitors with Ralph and Freda Thompson were Mr and Mrs William Thompson Mr and Mrs Cecil and Mr and Mrs
