BACKGROUND:
Council policy requires that prior to the approval of an application for a midway location, the
proposed site and details as well as the dates and hours of operation be brought before the
Finance and Corporate Services Committee to allow an opportunity to address the potential
concerns of residents and further that the applicant be required to notify residents within 120
metres of the proposed midway location that it will be operating, the dates and hours of
operation and the name of the sponsoring charity. Council has approved similar requests for
the past 10+ years, the latest being February 22, 2010. The conditions as noted in the
recommendation have been in place since then to alleviate any noise concerns that residents in
the surrounding area have had. In the last few years, there have been very few noise
complaints and any issues have been resolved quickly by the owners of Homeniuk Rides.
REPORT:
A letter has been received from Linda Homeniuk, Vice President of Homeniuk Rides
Incorporated requesting permission to operate a midway at 707 Ottawa Street South, Weiland
Ford car lot from April 21 to May 1, 2011 during the following times and with the following
conditions with respect to the music being played.
Date Start Close
Thursday, April 21 3:30 p.m. 10:00 p.m. (music off at 8:30 p.m.)
Friday, April 22 10:00 a.m. 11:00 p.m. (music off at 10:00 p.m.)
Saturday, April 23 10:00 a.m. 11:00 p.m. (music off at 10:00 p.m.)

Sunday, May 1 Noon9:00 p.m. (music off at 8:30 p.m.)
The request from Ms. Homeniuk varies from the recommendation only in the time that the music
is to be turned off. In the past with the operation of a midway at this site, concerns were raised
by an area resident regarding the music, and in consideration of this concern, Council has
music to be turned off at 8:00 p.m. preceding school days
required the on the evenings and
to be turned down at 8:00 p.m.
on all other nights.
As directed in the by-law the Regional Health Unit and the City’s Traffic Division have been
advised of this request.
ALIGNMENT WITH CITY OF KITCHENER STRATEGIC PLAN:
Not applicable.
î ó î
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
None
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT:
Consult – Ms. Homeniuk has been supplied with the mailing labels to enable her to contact the
area residents. If residents have concerns they are invited to contact the Manager of Licensing
to voice their concerns prior to the Finance and Corporate Services Committee meeting.
To date, no concerns have been received.
