The property is an eyesore and the tow trucks are causing a nuisance and much traffic. The Fire Department has been called about fires on this property and the storage of tires is a concern. b) John Murphy, 3080 Concession 5 Road, referred to the memo of the Division Head, Municipal Property & Engineering and questioned if staff are satisfied that contaminants are not getting in the water table. The road is not at a standard conducive to the proposed operation and an operation of this nature is not in character with the area. c) Rachael Murphy, 3080 Concession 5 Road, stated that many cars brought to this site have contaminants leaking from them, that an operation of this nature attracts an undesirable element and that the noise created from this property is extreme from crushing cars. She questioned whom to contact concerning the black smoke coming from the property. She advised that the pond on her property now has a film on it and the fish have died. d) Richard Lloyd, 3330 Balsam Road, stated his concern with respect to the water quality, the noise, the dust, the metal fence which has fallen down, the junk on the property not being stored in the building and the two leachate ponds adjacent to his property which attract mosquitoes. He advised that the trees at the west end of the property have been removed and the operator is using this area for his operation. - 3- Planning Committee Meeting Minutes Monday, September 9, 2002 8:10 p.m. Chair: Councillor Ryan e) Mr. Teknerb, Winchester Road, Kinsale, advised that there is a court case which says that no dumping is allowed between sun down and sun up.
