Vancouver Developer's Continued Neglect of Calgary Property
The pics say it all. Continued negligence of an inner city lot on a busy auto/bike/pedestrian corridor. Not an iota of concern from the property owner on the impact on a neighbourhood of an almost non existent property management strategy. Their motto is DILLIGAF. Similarly, the City of Calgary needs to create stronger legislation that deals with abandoned, neglected properties close to dense population. Efforts to beautify should be encouraged, not "foiled".
From the CBC Story of May 22, 2012: Potato garden plot foiled by city and landowner:
"Randolph Pratt of Adera Developments said his mortgage firm wants the garden removed, but will not pursue trespassing charges. He says everyone is passionate, but misdirected in this case."
Pratt states that Adera Developments (p604.684.8277) of Vancouver no longer owns the company but rather Scarboro Projects Ltd, who he now also owns in a not so subtle "sleight of land", shell game manoeuvre. Pratt needs to reassess his company's misdirected negligence of his property. During the interview Pratt became increasingly agitated, repeatedly stated the property was "Not controversial", stated he had no idea that John Mar had gone down to electoral defeat and eventually hung up. Pratt, adamant that landscaping was part of the management contract, said the property was well maintained prior to his abrupt end to the conversation. He was aware of the City bylaw tickets and denied that it is in fact Calgary taxpayers who are on the hook for his Vancouver based firms property negligence.
The management company contracted by Pratt stated they have only been asked to do minimal site management - snow, graffitti & erect a fence. This has been done competently.
The City of Calgary has now been forced to hire a contractor, at taxpayer expense, to maintain part of the property.
Contracted workers, on Calgary taxpayers dime, work to maintain basic community standards on Randolph Pratt's property:

Collection of ignored bylaw infraction notices served to Randolph Pratt, Adera Developments and Scarboro Projects, that would make Saul Alinsky blush:

I completely agree with this point, that landowners should not be able to sit on land indefinitely with no regard for public impact. Macleod Trail and 1 street East has been a hole in the ground for a decade. The Bank of Montreal building in the geographical center of our city (across the street from the Bay) has been empty for at least eight years. Give it out to an art association or youth group or something useful. Not the hole in the ground mind you. Too much exposed rebar to be safe, however much the homeless were willing to overlook that fact
