Dear Sir&1adam:

RE: Exemption fum1 Interim Control By-Law 78-2019

File Number: ICB Exemptiou 2020-8

We at Sherwood Auto Sales are certainly not in vour of an exemption being granted to the applicant 4207785 Canada Inc. in regards to the creation of a new franspot terminal located at 2G50 Metcalfe Street.

As the owners with the largest ontage surrounding the property in question; we feel we have a large stake in the decision that will be made regarding this request.

Over the last several years we have been rced to complain dozens, if not hundreds, of times to the city, by-law officers, and councilmen regarding the lack of respect r the residents and businesses of Drouillard Road and sunounding a:reas displayed by the company 1 question. The owuers of 4207785 Canada Inc. consistently iled to follow by­laws that were and are in place regarding the property in questjon. They have prodqced so much dust; and dirt that leaves their property and spread all over Drouillard Road and the surrounding community that residents cannot even open their windows on nice clays. Businesses, including 01rs, have lost money due to this as well, and have been rced to pay e.mployees to clean up the moss left and cl'eated by 4207785 Canada Inc.

In an area where an attempt to better the surroundings is clearly being made, a neighborhood effort is required to do so effectively. 4207785 Canada Inc. has been a terrible neighbor since the very start of their operations at 2650 Metcalfe Street, which should not have even began in the first place due to the by-laws that were in. place at the time the company began its operations.

Before considering this application, the City should require the applicant to take immediate stops to prevent the dust, dirt and debris currently emanating from its property, The granting of the exemption will only increase tho problemsin this regard.
