Re: Zoning By-law No. 1498

Attached is a photocopy of a letter dated March 8th, 1977 from the
Department of Municipal Affairs along with the comments from the Provincial
Water Resources Service referred to in that letter.

We are given to understand, informally, from the Department of Municipal
Affairs, that they will be prepared to advance By-law No. 1498 for
approval provided the Council gives its undertaking to include the Flood
Plain restrictions suggested in an early Zoning Amendment By-law. If
the Council can agree to this it will permit By-law No. 1498 to be
approved and then amended later to include the restrictions suggested.

Incidentally, we did learn from the Department of Municipal Affairs that
inclusion of this "Flood Plain" clause in our By-law will speed up the
approval process as their procedure does not require By-laws that have a
Flood Plain clause included to be referred to Water Resources, but are
simply advanced to the Minister automatically for approval.
