Mr. Harjinder Bansal, appeared before the
Committee regarding Bansal and Sons Diesel Automotive Ltd located at 3822 and
3842 Marine Way.
Mr. Bansal advised that Bansal and
Sons Diesel Automotive Ltd has been operating at 3822 and 3842 Marine Way
since 1991. The speaker requested the Committee’s assistance in addressing
several outstanding concerns, which if unresolved, may result in the
dissolution of the business.
The following issues were outlined:
·
3822
and 3842 Marine Way are divided by a City owned property (future laneway). Bansal
and Sons Diesel Automotive Ltd is considered to be encroaching on the City
owned property;
·
a structure
built to house a waste oil tank and compressor are unpermitted; and
·
3842
Marine Way does not have a business licence and is not tied to the business
licence for Bansal and Sons Diesel Automotive Ltd at 3822 Marine Way.
The speaker queried the feasibility
of either purchasing or leasing the City owned property between 3822 and 3842
Marine Way.
Staff expressed concern that leasing
City owned property may set a precedent for other similar areas where the use
has outgrown the lot size. Potential contamination of the City owned site
would also be a concern.
Staff advised a business licence
could be obtained for 3842 Marine Way if a structure were erected on the site
that serves as the primary use, allowing for an accessory use of outdoor
storage of vehicles to occur.
Arising from discussion, the
Committee introduced the following motion:
