JOLIETTE | A contractor must remove the moose head he has chosen as its new brand for hunting and fishing style restaurant because it is in bad taste by the City.
Jean-Philippe Marion has just opened The Élan in downtown Joliette.
As taught, he installed a huge plume moose he paid $ 1500 and he went to get in the Laurentides Wildlife Reserve throne on Lajoie Street South.
However, the City of Joliette informed him that the head was described as "bad taste" by the committee that evaluates facades. The problem is not directly taxidermy.
"This is a discretionary procedure. That does not match the beauty of the city, "says the mayor of Joliette, Alain Beaudry.
"I was lost in their process. It is heavy. Someone starting in business will be annihilated by that. "- Jean-Philippe Marion, restaurateur
This decision makes the owner angry and decided to invite the public to a ceremony during a 5-7 tonight to remove the now famous panache.
"During my official opening, I will remove my sign!" Said Jean-Philippe Marion, exasperated.
No license
The theme of the restaurant Hunting and Fishing should not influence the decision of the evaluation committee, according to the mayor Beaudry.
"If I open a creamery, is what I'm going to put a cow's head?" He said.
According to the City, these tights occupies over 30% of the surface of the window. In addition to moose head, this design should be removed.
The mayor said that the contractor has not requested official permission for its outdoor installation.
Jean-Philippe Marion admits that there was a lack in this area. He inquired from the planning department with a plan, and when everything seemed to comply, he proceeded with the installation.
"I was lost in their process. It is heavy. Someone starting in business will be annihilated by that, "says the restaurateur.
Remove the decor
Not only Jean-Philippe Marion must remove the moose head, but it will also remove the picture of a moose in the trade window, under the pretext that it occupies more than 30% of the surface of the window.
But the silhouette of the beast is only plotted and seen through. But that does not make a difference in the eyes of the City recognizes that the surface of the drawing as a whole.
