Town Clerk
REPORT NO: CL 5/98
SUBJECf: Street Parties
RECOMMENDATION:
That Cierk's Report CL 5/98 rogerding street perties ba received; and
That the dreR bylaw to regulate street parties be fonvarded to Council for enactment.
ORIGIN: Town Clerk
AUTHORTfY: Section 207.44 of the Municipai Act
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Current Year: Not Applicable
BACKGROUND:
The Town curcently has a policy of eilowing street parties which I believe should be
reviewed by Council because we have been experiencing somewhat more complaints over
thc years about these events.
Any group wishing to hold a atreet party is acpected to put their request in writing at least
two weeks before the event indicating which section of the street they want closed for the
party. Upon receiving this letter, I request the Director of Public Works and Fire Chief to
provide eny comments they may have and if there are no negative comments, the party will
be approved. Street perties that are approved are subject to the following conditions:
1. The function will end promptly at 1:00 a.m.
2. No alcoholic beverages will be allowed on the street.
3. There ehall be no accessive noise, and if there is, ensurc that the music is tumed
down or off at the direction of the Police.
4. The area of the atreet perty will be cieaned up immediately afier the function.
5. 1'he wntact peraon for the function shell epply for end receive a Work Permit at
: the Department of Pubilc Worka no later then two business days beforo tha event.
1'hero ia no cost for thia Pernut.

Road barticadw aro suppGed by the Department of Public Worka end delivered to the
address af the contnct person on Friday beforo the party. The wntact person ia
responsiblo to hava these berricades evailable for pickup at their address on the Monday
following tta aucet party. Placement of the road barticades for the atrat perty is the
responsibility of the contact person. The Town does not provide picnic tables or rofuse
containero.
Copies of the letter approving the sUeet party are sent to the Ward Counciliors, the Police,
the Fire Chief, the Director of Pazks and Facilities, the Director of PubGc Works and the
Manager of Transportation.
The following streets were approved for parties in 1997:
t. Foxwood Trail from Weybum Square to Bayfield Sueet
2. Sherman Crescent
3. Redbird Crescent
4. Duberry Drive from 2162 to 2177 Duberry Drive
5. Rowntree Crescent
6. Wildrose Crescent
7. Valley Ridge Crescent between Thicket Crescent end Copley Street
8. Storrington Street at the south end
9. Dyson Road from Rougemount Drive to Rodd Avenue
10. Foster Court
11. Moorelands Crescent from 1003 to I OI7 Moorelends Crescent
12. GandelfCourt
13. Ashfield Court
14. Victory Drive between Vicki Drive and Oklahoma Drive
I believe that the street pertiw ere being conuoiled as much aa is reasonably possible,
however, it is up to the Police to patrol these functions and if they give us e negative
report, we will either refuse to issue an approvel the following year or ask the organizera
to obtein a petition of 100% of all afl'xted neighbours agreeing to the party. As noted
above, 1 have received some complaints abaut street perties over the years and these
compleints have either ban about thc noisc or about a long street being closed in the
middle and blocking through tra�c.
In order to ensure thet strat parties ere not bring disruptive to a neighbourhood, I have
attached a draft by-law that will provide the following restrictions on events of this neture:
I. No street party will be allowed on a tivough street.
2. A pe6tion of all homeowners affected by the party must be aigned.
3, M fa of SSO must be attached to the applicadon.
4. The orgenizer must receive a Work Permit prior to holding the event.
5. The approval of the Director of Pub!ic Works end Fire Chief must be given.
6. Tha etrat party must end by midnight of the day it is being held.
7. The orgenizera must erect appropriate road barticades.
6. No alcoholic 6everages will be allowed on the street.
�,9. Thero ahall be no accessive noise, and if there is, ensure that tho music is tumed
� down or off at the direction of the Police.
k'� ` '. 10. . The erea ofthe sueet party will be cleaned up immediately efter the ft�ncdon.
