Businessmen boycott
garbage collection

City Council will seek the
help of the Kitimat-Stikine
Regional District Board to
try to force the city
businessmen to use the
district's garbage collection
services despite a price hike
last year that reached 300
percent in some Cases.

The matter came to light
in a report from thedistrict’s
Planning and Public Works
Committee which discussed
a report submitted by the
Municipal: Engineer con-
cerning the‘district’s refuse
collection and disposal
operation involving a steady

garbage customers.
Last year the. sitting
council. decided .to put
garbage collection on a self-
supporting basis and hit the
community's business
community with a hike that
raised a hue and cry from
the entire community,
When protesting failed to
change the substantial hike
in charges many com-
mercial people stopped the
district’s refuse service and
hired private :contractors to
do the job.

_ Since the beginning more
and more businessmen are
cancelling the service to the
point that the city’s budget
is hurting. -

It is pointed out that the
Regional District’s dump in
Thornhill is now getting a lot
of Terrace’s garbage.

The committee made two

recommendations as-

follows: - .

1) That administration
implement a charge for the

Gisposal and collection of
refuse from federal and.
rovincial government

‘buildings, in accordance

pursuant to By-Law 718 and

- amendments thereto.

>2) That administration
discuss with the Regional

District the possibility of a.

rate increase for use of the
Thornhill Regional Dump
Site by private agencies
presently olerating within
the District of Terrace; and
further discuss with the
Regional District the
establishment of a regional
refuse disposal site serving

the Greater Terrace area. .

District states position

The recommendation that
government agencies pay
for garbage collection ap-
peared to be most ac-
ceptable to the aldermen
present. Surprisingly
enough no one questioned
the fact that this revenue
was not made available to
the district coffers in the
past. This would have
alleviated the deficits in the

past which resulted in the —

district implementing the
huge increase for this
service.

The suggestion that the
Regional. District: increase.

_. decline :in« commercial ...with.-the--rales- approved “the ratestu private agencies~

edused Alderman. Vic
Jolliffe to.suggest that this
‘smacks of price fixing used
te force city commercial
enterprises back into the
city Garbage Department
‘old. ;

The matter was certainly
not resolved at Monday’s
council meeting and it now
appears that discussions.

will be held with the -

Regional District to resolve
‘the matter in the District’s
best interest.

on Johnson hassle

Following is a statement
of the municipality's
position regarding

‘continuing dispute between
‘Mickey Johnson

Recreations Ltd. and the.

: District of Terrace.

; The municipality, by
‘virtue of the powers ‘con-
‘ferred upon it by the
‘legislature of the province
‘has as its primary
“responsibility the planning
;and control of development
and land use within the
' District of Terrace for the
;¢ommon benefit of all
itesidents, Generaily, a
municipality controls and
plans land use
development by means of
zoning by-laws which set out
the restrictions and

limitations on the use of land ©

in any given area.

Terrace is a growing
community. Its business
district is expanding. The
municipality has attempted
to control and plan and
promote the growth and
development of the business
district by two means; land
use contracts and zoning by-
laws. Land use contracts

are agreements between the-

municipality and the land
owner in which a
development scheme is
worked out. The contracts
are generally used when the
roperty in question is
focated in an area which is

zoned in such a way that it .

restricts the type of
development proposed by
the land owner and spot

rezoning is not suitable. The .

the .

and-

contracts are also generally
temporary measures to
allow development but to
restrict its nature and ex-
tent to conform with ad-
jacent properties as well as
with the general planning
scheme of the area. -Fur-
ther, the contracts may give
the land owner time to
establish his business so
that he would have earned
enough income to bring his
development into
formity with the
municipality’s planning
scheme. \

In May 1975, Mickey
Johnson approached
Council about: opening a
retail ski shop on Lazeile
Avenue,
that a planning concept
applied to the area which
limited development.

He was also advised that it
would be possible for him to
enter inte a land. use con-
tract with the municipality
setting out specific terms

and __ conditions for
development. It was
proposed by Mickey

Johnson that: he not be
obliged to bring his building
inte conformity with the
municipality’s planning
scheme for three years. The
municipality suggested that
“48 months would be suf-
ficient in the circumstances,
Even. though he had been
informed that if he did
commence operation in the

location he’ had chosen. on
Lazelle Avenue, he would be
doing so in contravention of

municipal by-laws, Mr.

con- °

He was advised

Johnson purchased property
on Lazelle Avenue and
started business and several
months later suggested that
he would need ten years to
conform to the building
requirements of the plan-
ning scheme. The
municipality rejected his
proposal.

Mr. Johnson, in his letter
‘of January 16, 1977 ad-
dressed to the attention of
mayor and = council,
suggested that the

_ municipality negotiate a

settlement of the
development issues with
‘him, From the fall of 1975,
Mr. Johnson has not com-
plied . with zoning
requirements. ‘Although an

action in the Supreme Court’

‘to restrain him from
operating was commenced
_ by the district in December
1975, it had to be discon-
tinued in November 1976 for
technical reasons. The
municipality-is not prepared
to negotiate with -Mr.
Johnson until he demon-
strates his good faith by
immediately complying
with the by-laws of the
‘Distriet of Terrace. If he
does, the municipality will
negotiate. If he does not, the
municipality has already
instructed its solicitors to
take Court proceedings
immediately to enforce its
by-laws. Do,

The municipality has a
responsibility to the public
to enforce its laws like any

‘other branch of govern-

ment. It will not shirk its
responsibility in this case.
