The North York Community Council recommends the adoption of the following report
(January 25, 1999) from the Director, Transportation Services, District 3, and that the
vending permit not be issued:
Purpose:
To consider an appeal of a decision to refuse an application by Fatemeh Sorghans for a street
vending permit to sell hot dogs, sausages and cold drinks on the south side of Godstone Road,
east of Don Mills Road.
Source of funds:
There are no costs associated with the appeal of the refusal of the vending application.
Recommendation:
That Council adopt the staff report and that the vending permit not be issued.
Council Reference/Background/History:
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.
