PA(; 2, TIU RSIAY, SEPTI;MBER 7, 1972, WIIIT13Y IURlEi: PRI.SS Ed o , mrri WHERE Where w-as Industrial Developer Wes Winters when LUCKY ONE POP MART was servedi the second 'Cease and Desist' order issued fron the office of Bylaw Enforcemient Officer A. Craigie at town hall last Friday? The Pop Mart, being in contravention of a municipal bylaw in operating fromn the formier Hillcrest Dairy on Byron Street South mnust move hieadquarterselsewhere-perh'aps even out of town in light of conflicting bylaws on alternate proper- ties. The yards of commercial floor space ah the former dairy can, according ho the bylaw in ques- tion, be uised for a business or professional office., a motel, a dairy and ice cream nianu factu ring plant, a colti storage planit, a liquid food pro- cessing and packaging plant, a bottling works, a printing shop or a whiolesale use accessory to any of those aforegoing uises. I t may not however clespite die fact none of tihese lias applieti in the lasIthtlree years-be uised to seil pop, andi since the issuie of thie first desist notice, Ron Fleetwood and Mike Godin of' Lucky One hiave hiad to seli pop fromi a cash regi- WERE THEY? ster on a parked truck on the lot adjoiing the building. Averaging about 300, cases of pop per week without advertising, thiey have shown even in rather extenuating circumstances, their service is one that is desired by the general public of Whitby. Neither Mike Godin nor Ron Fleehwood knew the building was not available for their type of service when they signeti tenancy withi local realtors. Thaitlhe spacious commercial building can- not be used by honest businessmen because of an argument waged between town hall and Hilîcresi Dairy five years ago is outdateti ah best, and a gross poor sense of business on tlUe part of the town, at worsh. Operators of the Pop Mart have contactedtihe nlayor, die industrial developer and variouis towni officiaIs lfor advice ini their a.wkwairci andi fruistrat- ing situation. The mayor's lias beeni a 'iantis-lieti' attitude, the industrial developer lias blamneti the operators l'or nlot first con tac tinig a iawyer Uc fore moving iii. Tlie realtors wlîo leaseti them the property hiave been dealing with tthe town itseif* l'or some mionths. No town officiai in fact, lias offered any ad- vice to the Pop Mart people and the officiais con- tacted appear quite Llnconcerned that hhey may, hiave to move their operation out of town entirely. If Lucky One is in contravention of an out- dated bylaw at Hillcrest Dairy, would Whitby officiaIs be looking the other way for the first time? Whcere was the industrial developer when Lucky One conhemplaied leaving town? If thie inidustrial developer can'h be everywhere, where were tlie mayor, tlie town planning director or certain memibers of the council? Whiere itîdeeti was anyoîie ai town hall iii a position 10 lielp or ativise? Wlîere, al iliose peo- pie wlîo are striviîîg 50 desp)erately to brinig ai( keep business ini Wliithy?
