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, dates and hours of operation and the name of the sponsoring charity.
Council approved a similar request last year at this location. In 2014 there were no
concerns or complaints registered with staff regarding the midway.
The conditions as noted in the recommendation have been put in place to alleviate any
noise concerns that residents in the surrounding area may have.
REPORT:
Correspondence has been received from Linda Homeniuk, Vice President of Homeniuk
Rides Incorporated requesting permission to operate a midway at 1400 Ottawa Street
South, Sunrise Centre from April 30 to May 10 and August 20 to August 23, 2015. The
midway will be located between Home Depot and Wal-Mart in the overflow parking
area.
As directed in the by-law the Regional Health Unit and the City's Traffic Division have
been advised of this request. No concerns have been indicated.
