REMEDIAL ACTION ORDER
TO ORDER THE REMOVAL OF UNSIGHTLY MATERIALS AND THE ABATEMENT OF NUISANCE CONDITIONS FROM A CERTAIN PROPERTY
WHEREAS:
A. Bharet Enterprises Ltd. (the “Owner of the Property”) is the registered owner in fee simple and occupier of lands and premises located in the City of Langford, having a civic address of 976 Dunford Ave, Langford BC (the “Property”) and legally described as LOT A, SECTION 79, ESQUIMALT DISTRICT, PLAN 26317 [000-062-057] [Roll:06154.010] [Plan:26317, Lot: A].
B. The Property is a vacant lot that has, on a recurring basis, been used for the illegal dumping of garbage, debris, and miscellaneous materials, and has been subject to trespassing by unknown persons. These ongoing conditions are considered by the municipal council (“Council”) of the City of Langford (the “City”) to be unsightly, offensive, and a nuisance, and not in keeping with the standards of the community.
C. Repeated efforts by City staff to cause the Owner of the Property to remove garbage, debris and miscellaneous materials, and otherwise clean up the Property to mitigate the nuisance have failed to achieve tangible results.
NOW THEREFORE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LANGFORD IN OPEN MEETING ASSEMBLED HEREBY RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
Council declares the accumulation of garbage, refuse, debris, and the ongoing unauthorized use of the Property as a dumping site to be a nuisance pursuant to the Community Charter Section 74(1) and 74(2).
Council orders the Owner of the Property, Bharet Enterprises Ltd., to remove all rubbish, garbage, refuse, and miscellaneous debris from the Property and to implement appropriate measures to secure and maintain the site, including the installation of temporary fencing sufficient to prevent unauthorized access and further dumping.
Council orders that the Owner of the Property must comply with the requirements of Section 2 of this Order within 30 (thirty) days from the date on which this Order is served upon the Owner of the Property.
Council orders that should the Owner of the Property fail to comply with the requirements of Section 2 of this Order within 30 (thirty) days from the date on which this Order is served upon the Owner of the Property, the City may through its employees, agents, or contractors, enter upon the Property and carry out the work necessary to satisfy the requirements of Section 2 of this Order at the expense of the Owner of the Property pursuant to Section 17 of the Community Charter.
