Auto wrecker jumps hurdle

The owners of a wrecking yard that suffered a major fire earlier this year have been given one green light to re-develop the property.

Owners Arthur, Rosa and Timothy Griffith (operator Darcy Griffith) of 33645 Sawmill Rd were given the go ahead to have their property rezoned to Residential on the northern portion and Industrial on the southerly portion. This would allow for a new residence, resumption of a non-conforming business and riparian protection. Members of the Area C Planning Committee were surprised to hear that a soil study showed no contamination after 40 + years of operation as an auto wrecking yard. The decision if approved in Penticton at the RDOS Board will allow the owners to construct a new home & offices and continue in their efforts to clean up the area. Operator Darcy Griffith says the business is certified at the highest standard (Gold) with the auto recycling industry. Up to ten employees work at the facility at full production according to Griffith.
