SUBJECT: NOISE EXEMPTION REQUEST -FOOD BASICS, 1405
OTTAWA STREET NORTH
RECOMMENDATION:
That an exemption to Chapter 450 (Noise) be granted to the Food Basics store at 1405
Ottawa Street North for the evenings of October 17, 24, 31 and November 7 and 9, 2011,
between the hours of 9 PM and midnight each evening, for necessary work to replace
refridgeration units within the store.
BACKGROUND:
The Food Basics store at 1405 Ottawa Street North is undertaking some necessary work to
replace in-store refridgeration units. This work will involve loading and unloading equipment off
of trucks and in and out of the rear of the store, during the evening hours. There are residential
properties, on Ebydale Crescent, adjacent to the rear of the store. As such, the store is
requesting an exemption from Chapter 450 (Noise) to facilitate this work.
REPORT:
The store manager advises that the work will take place approximately 5 nights between
October 17 and November 9, 2011. The dates as projected right now are October 17tH 24tH
31St, and November 7t" and 9t". The hours of work are projected to be 9PM to midnight, each
evening. The nature of the work requires that it be done when the store is closed. Given that
the first night of work corresponds with the meeting date of the Community and Infrastructure
Services Committee, the store's contractor will make adjustments to their operations for the 1
evening to minimize any noise impacts.
Food Basics staff also advise that the actual replacement work will occur inside of the store.
However, it will require equipment to be loaded off of and onto trucks parked along the rear of
the plaza. Food Basics will be delivering information to those residential properties most
adjacent to the rear of the store, advising of the work in advance of the start date.
