New Garbage Issues Arising

Garbage Is Once Again A Problem

2011-04-30T18:56:00.000-04:00

Does this looking appealing or disgusting? This photo has been taken after the park's regularly scheduled garbage pickup was done on friday one day late due to the Easter holiday schedule. The attached by-law complaint form was submitted prior to this photo being taken.

Email Received from A Legal Employee of our landlord

Is there some kind of fallout happening with our landlord?

Looking Back Into The Legalities of 2074359 Ontario Ltd.

2010-11-01T20:03:00.000-04:00

I have just discovered a quote from a meeting on Oct 31, 2001
"Mr James Disapio: Good morning, Mr Vice-Chairman and members of the committee. I apologize for the reason this company was dissolved. There were a few forms that were not filled out. It will never happen again. And it is affecting day-to-day business."
Taken from http://www.ontla.on.ca/web/committee-proceedings/committee_transcripts_details.do;jsessionid=c72d607830d9434e770c128c489c927ba4e77d259dec.e3eQbNaNa3eRe3uRbh4QbNuPay1ynknvrkLOlQzNp65In0?locale=en&Date=2001-10-31&ParlCommID=1&BillID=997&Business=Bill+Pr23%2C+1205458+Ontario+Ltd.+Act%2C+2001&DocumentID=19790

Is this the same James Disapio as listed on the Corporation papers for 2074359 Ontario Ltd?

Winter Is Fast Approaching Will We See Appledale Again?

2010-10-31T10:17:00.000-04:00

Winter is fast approaching and presently the Town By-Law Services is working on water issues within our park. It appears that the first notice issued by the Town By-Law Office has been ignored. Wonder what the next step might be!

The temperature will be dropping below freezing tonight and there are 2 trailers presently being supplied with water through garden hoses buried mere inches below ground. How long do you think it will take for the water to freeze in these garden hoses and split the hoses?

Will it take Appledale taking control over the park once again before appropriate water supply lines are put in place?

Road Construction

2010-06-18T13:00:00.000-04:00

Why are the residents of 1010 Dundas Street East being kept in the dark by our landlord, our Town and our Regional Governments? Luckily some people are able to read the newspaper, but unfortunately many other residents of 1010 Dundas not able to do so. In todays newspaper there is a notice of Road Closure for Dundas Street East between Garden St and Anderson St slated for July 5 to Sept 24, 2010. Do the residents of 1010 Dundas Street not deserve better notice that our only road access will be drastically restricted? Our road access has been poor in the past causing accidents to vehicular traffice entering and leaving the park. What will restricting the lanes to 2 lanes do?

44 Million Dollar Plan

2010-06-18T08:26:00.000-04:00

http://www.dailycommercialnews.com/cgi-bin/top10.pl?rm=show_top10_project&id=2e35bd7cf667b4ba519375e212739bf591b32339&projectid=9091780&region=ontario

Is a link outlining some information about the estimated 44 Million dollar plan for 1010 Dundas Street East

So I have to question why anyone would consider partnering on a 44 Million dollar project with people who believe that a garden hose buried merely inches below the ground is sufficient and adequate supply of water service?

Interesting Web Link

2010-06-18T07:49:00.000-04:00

Check out the following link http://www.urbandb.com/canada/ontario/whitby/all2.html

This link struck me as interesting because it does not list 1010 Dundas Street East Whitby as a pending site. Has the Town of Whitby actually approved anything so far? Why is this condo building not appear to be pending but rather as an approved and active building?

How might it feel to LOSE a Quarter Million Dollars

2010-05-16T23:15:00.001-04:00

So far, we have a possibility of 13 trailers to be moved. If in fact our landlord is to get $20,000 per trailer to be demolished and we move 13 trailers, our landlord will lose out on a possible credit of $260,000 plus our landlord will be required by law to pay out $3,000 each for a total of $299,000. I couldn't imagine losing out on over a quarter million dollars like this.

Lets Hit Them In The Pocketbook

2010-05-11T19:35:00.000-04:00

If it is true that any trailers remaining on the property when this park does close will result in a $20K credit, I may have a way of hitting a half million dollar home run.

If I could find 25 trailers to move, I might have a home for them. If people would message me, to help establish a potential list of trailers to have moved. In a couple weeks once this list is completed, I will be having a company in to give us an estimate to move the 25 trailers. In the meantime, I am approaching multiple levels of government to try and solicit possible funding to help us make our move.

Thank You Global TV

2010-05-06T22:44:00.000-04:00

Your coverage of our plight in our fight with our landlord is much appreciated. It appears that the landlord was more willing to talk with the media, after allowing the hydro service to be disconnected than they were today when they had actually prevented the water from being disconnected. Doesn't that seem kind of backwards???

Am I reading this correct?

2010-05-05T22:07:00.000-04:00

Developments shall ensure that the entire surface area of existing
solar panels on the lands in the vicinity of a proposed development is
exposed to sunlight during at least two times on the following date:
1) December 21st at 10:00AM, 12:00 PM, 2:00 PM
http://www2.whitby.ca/asset/pl-application_siteplanapproval.pdf page 21/21

If I install a solar panel on my existing trailer home, that this solar panel would have to be confirmed to receive sunlight on December 21 in the official application before the Town Council? I could be shopping for solar panels tomorrow!!! I am quite sure that I could have several residents buying solar panels within a short time frame. Would this affect the Town Council meeting that is tentatively scheduled for June?

Do We All Need This?

2010-05-05T10:56:00.000-04:00

Do we all need to buy our own Jet Pumps from Canadian Tire and to chip in together and rent a water truck? Weigh your options carefully! We have all experienced a disconnection of hydro services and had to wait for the installation of the backup generator.

Just In Water Disconnect Notice

2010-05-05T10:50:00.000-04:00

We the tenants of 1010 Dundas St E have just received notice of a disconnection of our water services.

Property Standards By-Law Number 856-79

2010-05-05T07:29:00.000-04:00

"Property" means a building or structure or part of a building or structure, and includes the lands and premises appurtenant thereto and all mobile homes, mobile buildings, mobile structures, outbuildings, fences and erections thereon whether heretofore or hereafter erected, and includes vacant property.

No owner of property shall maintain or permit to be maintained, occupy or permit to be occupied, use or permit the use of, rent or offer to rent any property which does not comply with the provisions and regulations setforth in Schedule "A" and any property which does not comply, shall be repaired and maintained to comply with the standards set out in said Schedule "A" or the site thereof shall be cleared of all buildings, structures, debris and refuse, and left in a graded and levelled condition.

With the announcement at the last Town Council meeting of a tax incentive of $20,000 per unit that the owner of the property owns and demolishes to replace with new units, I must ask why this Town By-Law is seemingly being bended without making a change to the By-Law. The tennants of 1010 Dundas St. E. have filed a complaint with the By-Law department on the proper By-Law complaint form in regards to 8 abandoned/discarded trailers. It appears that these trailers are simply being boarded up instead of "the site thereof shall be cleared of all buildings, structures, debris and refuse, and left in a graded and levelled condition.

Parking Lot Safety Issue

2010-04-29T23:03:00.000-04:00

This light seems to work intermittently or is it motion sensored and blocked by the trees surrounding it. Is this the kind of light that we really want to illuminate the visitor parking lot of our residence?

This is that same light in working condition. Take note of how close the trees are to this light. Again I must ask if this light is motion sensored, why are the trees allowed to block the motion sensors? If this light is not motion sensored, there must be a problem with the electrical servicing it. Either way, it appears to be a problem that needs to be addressed.

How Lame Is This

2010-04-29T08:19:00.000-04:00

Did the Town of Whitby Planning Department go out for dinner with our landlord? It has come to my attention that our landlord may have borrowed money from a tenant who like myself will be ultimately facing eviction, to take the planning department out for dinner. If this is indeed true as I am hearing it, could anyone explain to me why our landlord is avoiding this businessman tenant?

Sounds to me like some kind of last supper before the untimely death of our homes. Just like in the Bible though, we will rise again. We will not accept this kind of behavior from anyone. We may not have the legal education of some, but we as tenants are able to obtain government funded legal advice and we are learning as we go. I hope for everyone's sake that what I have heard is indeed false, or the legal ramifications will be quite steep.

Town By-Law Infractions To Benefit Owner

2010-04-27T10:44:00.000-04:00

I would like to question why the Town By-Law regarding abandoned/discarded trailers on a property is being overlooked and could possibly be financially beneficial to the owner of 1010 Dundas St. E. to the sum of $120,000? We have at least 6 trailers within this park that are not being lived in and are seemingly owned by the owner of the land now and when there is financial compensation in the form of a levy credit in the range of $20,000 per unit, it appears that the Town is going to be indirectly compensating the owner of 1010 Dundas St. E. for failing to comply with the Town By-Law.

Town Council Awards Tenants A Reprieve

2010-04-27T00:42:00.000-04:00

Town Council effectively awarded the tenants a reprieve until June 2010. Town Council has made a recommendation to allow the 1 commercial/residential 5 story building fronting Dundas St. E. and allowing the rest of the property to be developed within the medium density guidelines(possibly limited to townhouses).

2074359 Ontario Ltd has proposed 420 units within 5 buildings and the Town has agreed in principal to 1 of the 5 buildings with 105 units in it. I disagree with the size as stated at the meeting of the rest of the property being 3 hectares and a medium density limit of 30-65 units per hectare. The total property size is 4.16 hectares as stated on page 3 of 25 in PL-24-10 which is 447778.673 ft² and building type 1 as shown on Attachment #6 of PL-24-10 has a total of 104,564 sq ft over 5 floors or an approximate footprint of 20913 sq ft so if we subtract this sq ft from the full property size, we are left with 426865 sq ft which is approximately 3.96 hectares. So 3.96 hectares would support a maximum of 257 dwelling units under medium density guidelines. 257 + 105 units for a total of 362 units which is only 58 units shy of the requested 420 units under 2074359 Ontario Ltd's original application.

70 units times $20,000 tax credits makes for a whopping 1.4 million dollar tax credit. Come on people who in their right mind is going to turn over 1.4 million dollars to an organization that does the least that they can legally get away with?

What is By-Law 6125-08

2010-04-25T22:10:00.000-04:00

No where on the Town's website, can I find anything about By-Law 6125-08.

"An In Camera meeting of the Council has been scheduled in accordance with the provisions of the Municipal Act and Procedural By-law 6125-08"

Is there a reason why I cannot find any info on Procedural By-Law 6125-08? I have even done a google search of this and still cannot find any info on what this By-Law is. How can the Town quote this document but not let us know what it actually says.

Garbage Issues Once Again

2010-04-23T07:49:00.000-04:00

Our park homeowners association has put this letter out to try and deal with the garbage woes within our park. I question whether or not this will actually work or just cause the garbage to be placed elsewhere within our park.

At present there are 3 garbage bags in the customary location and 1 bag on the back bumper of the nearby camper van. In addition to this inappropriate garbage, I have discovered that there is another garbage pile forming near the old electrical panel box.

I have been informed that notices will not alleviate the problem as some of the people within this park may not even have the ability to read or some may not have the mental capacity to comprehend what they are reading. Remember that this park is made up of average people, some of them having various disabilities which I am not qualified to diagnose.

Possible ESA Inspector Attack

2010-04-20T21:16:00.000-04:00

Is it really possible that the ESA inspector got attacked today by a cat? Apparently the ESA inspection of 1 dwelling has been postponed. I do not know for sure but I can testify to seeing the ESA taking photos of 1 of their own persons neck/upper chest area.

Where are the city inspectors going to start with all of the animals(4 legged) within our park? It is apparently around a $100 fine for harboring/keeping of an un-neutered cat or dog without a license within Whitby. I suggest that someone within this park could make a fortune as a Town License Officer and the Town was recently advertising for just such a position.

Landlord Appears To Be Learning

2010-04-15T22:08:00.000-04:00

The notice that we received today informing us of a power disruption tomorrow, seems to indicate that our landlord is learning how to be a better landlord. Could it be possible that this blog publicly pointing out legal shortcomings is proving effective?
