1. Phillip L. Sanford re: Sign By-law Contravention, Pizza Pizza
Ltd., 5 Yonge Street South
Mr. Sanford stated his request for permission to allow the existing
second sign to remain on the building adjacent his clients premise.
Mr. Sanford explained that the fast food business was a highly
competitive one which required a high degree of identification and
customer awareness for impulse purchasing.
The Committee noted that the fast food business is not a permitted
use in the Central Business Area and that this particular sign not
only contravened the sign by-law but also compromised a number of
goals and guidelines adopted by Council specifically relating to
the downtown core planning area. It was noted that the nature and
type of sign associated with the fast food business was not in
keeping with the character of the downtown core.
The Chief Building Official pointed out that previous requests to
remove the sign had been ignored and that it was not until notice
of a contravention had been formally issued that the applicants
decided to approach the Committee for permission.
The Committee recommends the request for permission to allow a
second sign be denied.

Report No. 122-Commercial Development Advisory Committee cont'd ...
The Heritage Committee members present expressed concerns with the fact
that the two spruce trees on the property were not being retained and
with the symetrical arrangement of the proposal. Mr. Walsh indicated
that the trees could not be economically saved and that the small size
