This division received an application Mr. Sorghans to sell hot dogs, sausages and cold drinks on the south side of Godstone Road, east of Don Mills Road.

In accordance with By-Law No. 32100 of the former City of North York, staff of the Transportation Services Division of the Works and Emergency Services Department canvassed the local Councillors' offices and Public Health Department for comments.

Comments and/or Discussion and/or Justification:

As a result of investigations and comments, it was determined that:

• There was sufficient space within the municipal boulevard to accommodate the request and that the vending operations would not create a pedestrian impediment or sight obstruction;

• The Public Health Department had no objection with regards to the application provided that the applicant complied with Ontario Regulation 562/9 (Food Premises); and

• Councillor David Shiner, due to concerns from local residents, could not support the issuance of a permit, unless it could be issued temporarily.

The solution, Mr. Michael Doyle requests the opportunity to represent Mr. Sorghans at the North York Community Council.

Conclusions:

Based upon the objection received, the vending permit should be refused.
