Blanket bylaw review

School District 88 will be one
of the agencies likely to applaud
Terrace city council’s move to
address concerns arising from
by-law inefficiencies. Of specific
interest to School District 88 is
the matter of locating portable
buildings on school property
within Terrace city limits.

A few months ago, council
refused to grant an extension on
a temporary permit for a port-
able being used as a special
needs education office. by the
board office on Kenney St. A
few weeks ago, council willingly

taxes for the coming year should

be required to solve the issue
through a By-Law amendment)."

Kamenz lists the two main
priorities of his department. for
1991 as working on the Strategic
Pianning Process, which will
lead to a new Official Commun-
ity Plan, and processing develop-
ment applications in a minimum
amount of time. But he adds, "In
light of the volume of develop-
ment applications and By-Law
inefficiencies, progress on the
Strategic Planning Process has
been delayed."

City aldermen agree, and have
asked city administration to
address eight specific concerns.

Home/Trailer Bylaw, the Con-

Subdivision Bylaw and construc-

home occupations, institutional
zones, accessory buildings in
rear yards, and the introduction
of development permits.

trator Bob Hallsor said there
should be no increase in oper-
ational costs in 1992 and he
doesn’t believe council is look-
ing at any major expenditures
either. The only increases, he
said, would be due to the cost of
living and wages.
