nautifish Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Thankyou so much for posting this TJ. It is very much appreciated. I am fighting with Norfolk bylaw as they now want to revoke my licence they issued to me end of March to set up my Hotdog cart outside of rotton ronnies bait & tackle store in Long point....Business has been good and the Locals have been fabulous in welcoming me too long point.....Now they have said there is an issue about Distance between me and an Arcade that also sells hotdogs.....I guess they do not want the competition. I am fighting Norfolk Bylaw because if there had been an issue about the distance between myself with the cart and the other location they should have done the measurements before Issueing me my licence. Apparently Bylaw states that any mobile refreshment Vehicle cannot set up with in 250ft of another location that sells the same product....Yet in Port rowan which is also part of long point there is a fry wagon situated not even 75ft from a restaurant. I have started an online petition and i also have a petition going at rotton ronnies bait & tackle where i got another 100 signatures over saterday & sunday. I would really appreciate the support.....The local fisherman & hunting guys love the fact i am there & they can get a quick bite to eat . Thankyou so much again TJ..... Nauti.

I would think a business called Rotten Ronnie's Bait & Tackle would have bigger customer relations issues than a bit of competition in the neighbourhood. "Didja wanna little worm slime on that weeny, ma'am, or some boraxed salmon roe spread?" I for one am always tempted to buy my food at places that also sell live bait. It's all about the freshness I guess. JF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xeon Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 (edited) How far away are you from the arcade? I could see if your 40-50m or more away than whatever, but under that you should respect the other business. Also, have you tried talking to the people at the arcade? Im pretty sure most nerds dont get along too well with the outdoors so go in there with a cool head and talk to the manager and work something out. You do really have to put this all into perspective though, if you owned a resturaunt and someone set up a hotdog stand infront of your business, you too would be a bit irretated. And if they change the rules for you, they have to change the rules for everyone, which will cause more problems for everyone. Wish you the best with your petition though, the city should realize that the markets you and the arcade are selling too are completly different. Also, what are the rules on the bait place getting the vendors permit instead of you? Edited April 27, 2009 by xeon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xeon from what i have been told i am about 240 or maybe 245 ft away from the Arcade...I am not out front of there business.....Bylaw apparently says i have to be 250ft..BUT!! If that is the case as i said they should have done the measurements before issueing my licence ...I have a steady clientel and i have had many people return to enjoy a Nautidog. I don't want to get into it here....More is explained over on facebook..... JF Rotton ronnies has been in long point for many many years and is well known in long point and does alot of business... Misfish The only other place online is my own fishing site & as i said rotton ronnie has the petition book at his store.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfield Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 Buy a tape measure and measure it. It's your lively hood after all. If you're 245 feet.. move over 6 feet left or right and it's a non-issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nautifish Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 Thats kind of hard to do Irishfeild because i am then on someone elses property.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfield Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 I'd imagine the bylaw is FROM their property line... I'd be finding the bylaw.. it's wording etc and using it to YOUR advantage. Your online petition will have absolutely no merit.. especially if the arcade complaint'ent is "connected". When you applied for the licence... is it listed right on the application where you were setting up shop? If so.. they approved it ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danbouck Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 No one even buys hot dogs from the arcade! Signing now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nautifish Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 (edited) Yup the adress of my Location where my hotdog cart is set up is on my licenece irishfeild. I am still waiting to get this in writeing..All i have been told is they are going to revoke my licence...Apparently it is not an issue right now because she is not open.....But once she opens if i am there and selling hotdogs they can charge me.... ..AS for the petition.....I think it will have merrit......Most of the 100 people who signed my petition over the weekend are from long point... I had people take a drive down to the cart specifically to sign my petition as they had heard that Norfolk bylaw want to revoke my licence. We did do our own measurement a few weeks back but its hard to know where to measure too when we are not sure where there property line starts at the Arcade. But that all aside..... Port rowan has a fry wagon set up not even 75ft from another restaurant........Port rowan is part of long point...... This is also my Argument. Nauti.

tinbanger Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 as per Waynes post .get your hands on the bylaw , compare it with your application and go from there. As far as the chip truck , may not help you with your case . rules can differ from block to block.They may have a variance. The city can still flex thier muscle even if they 'approved' you application. You may have to go in for a variance .That may include a 'neighbourhood poll' .Basicly asking property owners with a set radius if they have any issues with your application . Make sure you know who gets these letters and that as many as possible are on your side and send back postive comments .Otherwise only the naysayers will be heard. good luck.
