st tribune april 281993 p3 flea market concerts pose problems prentice tracy kibble staff reporter a policy should be in place to protect residents right to privacy before the town approves holding free concerts at the flea market said one local official last week ward 6 councillor ken prentice urged his colleagues tuesday night to estab lish strict guidelines before allowing the stouffville country flea market a tick et to hold two free concerts planned for this spring and fall on the 10th line property prentice said residents rights should be protected regarding noise traffic parking and blocking of streets and requested staff deal with a policy already suggested by former chief administrative officer bob panizza prentice said panizza in a letter to council last year reiterated his concerns that the flea market location may not be suitable we shouldnt even be dealing with these concerts until a policy is ratified prentice warned however the towns fire chief build ing director and acting clerk all stated they had no problem with allowing two free concerts provided the flea market notify nearby residents ahead of time obtain approval from york regional health officials and provide paid duty police officers provide the town with emergency numbers security plans and parking and traffic details obtain liquor permit notify the town of any residential objections or concerns but prentice said that isnt good enough because the problem also per tains to zoning and what functions are allowed on the multizoned property he said residents were assured last year that council would make sure their concerns would be dealt with by way of a policy he accused officials of forgetting about panizzas suggestion a policy be passed its not fair to tell residents that things will be dealt with if theyre not going to be appropriately addressed prentice said he asked councillors to support his bid to deal with one concert at a time and to pass a bylaw banning parking during the concert on nearby hemlock drive ivy cres and westfield estates prentice also asked to have extra paid duty patrol so cars wont illegally park on nearby streets but mayor fran sainsbury said pren tice was picking on the flea market and said the building has been a great supporter of the town she suggested prentice apply the same strict rules to all outdoor func tions and not to single out the flea mar ket it is discriminatory to pick on the flea market if youre going to ask for this are you also going to ask it of the strawberry festival too sainsbury asked it was decided prentice would work with staff to form a policy which will be brought forward by the end of june monster home has church streeters concerned some church street resi dents are concerned a

theyre regis tered members nothing else is needed from them they seem to feel i pay my membership now dont bother me but thats not enough johnson said she added the apathy among local business people
