Building and Protection Committee meeting of November 25th, 1975.

Attached is a comparison of plumbing permit rates of neighbouring Municipalities.
Our Proposal is $6.00 a fixture up to ten (10), $5.50 a fixture thereafter.
(Presently $4.00 first fixture, $3.50 thereafter.) Last increase I believe was
in 1974. Comittee recommends approval.

Modular home adoption by-law. Enclosed is Solicitors letter also a xeport of
Building Inspector.

Farm Building Code Adoption. Committee recommends adoptbn of Farm Building Code
to the Building By-law. In 1975 the Provincial Government amended the National
Building Code adopting by-law to exclude the Farm Building Code as a mandatory
document for adoption. It appears this was done to exclude regulation farm areas

‘+: in large farming Commmnities in outlaying areas. In Port Coquitlam we have a farm

area, however being a fast growing urban centre it appears very necessary to have

a minimm regulatory by-law. If we do not adopt the farm code, we will only require
conformity to the Zoning By-law for farm buildings.
