and, as a double check, the "Occupant" notice is also sent, ‘

The legal ebligation on the Part of the City under the Municipal Act and andex

out will be substantially reduced,

We trust you will be able to advance this to the Land Use Committee and make
a@ Yecommendation to the Council in due course.
