Steven Levesque被法定官员告知，大型车棚式帐篷必须倒塌。

“I just couldn’t believe it, I was amazed that I had to remove it. It’s for my daughter’s safety and quality of life. “

A deadline of December 5 was set, but the father told CTV’s Your Morning Wednesday that he did not intend to dismantle the tent as it would keep her wheelchair away from snow and mud and protect his daughter from the elements.

Levesque’s 14-year-old daughter has cerebral palsy and epilepsy. He says there are times when his daughter refuses to go inside and can be outside for 45 minutes.

“Then she decides to throw herself on the floor, she decides to sit and scream and have a seizure, and until she is ready I have to leave her outside. I cannot physically pick them up to bring them to the house. “

Levesque says a charter appeared on his door the day after the tent was set up. He says the charter officer was sympathetic but offered no alternative.

He says he wants to comply and checked with community officials about a deviation or a building permit, but heard nothing about it.

“I asked the Statutory Officer and he said, ‘Well, my heart goes out to you, but there is nothing I can do.'”

Windsor’s statutes prohibit carport tents in front yards.

The city replied to Your Morning: “When it comes to complying with non-safety-related legal prohibitions, this can often be achieved without the need for an order if the owner and the legal agent can find an alternative solution. For example, in some cases a solution could be to place a structure in a back yard instead of the front and revise an existing approved parking space. “

Levesque says with less than four feet on either side of the house, there’s no chance of getting a vehicle into the back yard. He says the statute violates his daughter’s right to be accommodated as a person with a disability.

Levesque believes it was a neighbor who complained. He says his garden was a little messed up in the summer because we had a lot of equipment from our diner that was closed due to COVID. And it was probably the straw that broke the camel’s back that they had just enough and decided that they would just start filing complaints about us. “

Levesque says he understands that if he fails to comply with a municipal order, the matter will go to court and a judge will impose a sentence. With delays related to COVID-19, this could take up to 90 days, and Levesque says that would be enough time to reach warmer weather.
