Mr. Fast was in attendance to respond to questions from Council. Mr. Fast explained that he undertook a Business Survival Strategy three years ago. One of the recommendations from that strategy was to consolidate the three operations in the King George Highway location. Mr. Fast displayed a summary of costs associated with such a move, noting that a high percentage of the costs arise from taxes imposed by the City. He commented that these changes are a short term investment for him, and speculated that the property will be suitable for redevelopment in approximately ten years time. Mr. Fast suggested that the improvement taxes be applied at that time.
Mr. Fast stated that he cannot afford to move forward with the strategy and make his business economically viable because of the costs imposed by the City. He added that this could result in the loss of 20 jobs. Councillor Huot asked Mr. Fast if he has considered other locations for his business. Mr. Fast responded that they have looked at other options; however, part of the problem is that his business relies on the exposure it gets from the King George Highway. This exposure would be lost should the business move into a business park. My point here is that the land will be developed sooner or later, and when that has occurred, with a long term investment I think that is the time that the investor can justify a long term improvement for the streets. Councillor Robinson left the meeting at 7:45 p.m. Councillor Villeneuve requested clarification of Interim use. Mr. Fast estimated that his business would likely stay on the property for the next ten years, after which time he would consider redeveloping. In response to questions from Councillor Villeneuve, Mr. Fast advised that he would be amenable to entering into a Restrictive Covenant to pay the cost of upgrading the property after a certain period of time. Councillor Watkins left the meeting at 7:48 p.m. In response to question from Councillor McCallum, the delegation advised that he has considered relocation of his business but could not justify this from a cost perspective. Councillor Robinson returned to the meeting at 7:51 p.m. Seconded by Councillor Villeneuve 1.
