a Sr. Bldg. Insp. From the Senior Building Inspector, November 27th, 1975, advising
re Farm Building

Code-City's that the Building & Protection Committee recommends adoption of the Farm
Bldg.B/law

Building Code for incorporation in the City's Building By-law.

Moved by Alderman Keryluk:

Seconded by Alderman Mabbett:

That the recommendation of the Building & Protection Committee as
set forth in a report from the Senior Building Inspector, November 27th,
1975, that the Farm Building Code be adopted for incorporation in the
City's Building By~law, be approved. Tabled.

Prior to tabling of the foregoing motion, a discussion ensued and
Alderman Laking inquired how severe the Farm Building Code would be and
the Senior Building Inspector advised that it is like the National
Building Code - minimum requirements. Alderman Thompson inquired whether
the Committee had perused the Farm Building Code as yet, and the Senior
Building Inspector advised that only the 1970 Code is available, as due
to the mail strike, it was not possible to obtain the current edition
from the Nationai Research Council.

Moved by Alderman Thompson:

Seconded by Alderman Laking:

That the foregoing proposed resolution to adopt the Farm Building
Code for incorporation in the City’s Building By-law be deferred until

January 19th, 1976. Carried.

Prior to passage of the foregoing resolution, the Senior Building

Inspector stated he wished to re-emphasize the importance of reguiations

for farm buildings as some agricultural ventures are almost commercial
in nature, such as a riding stable, etc., where there is an assembly of
people other than the immediate family. Alderman Mabbett suggested that
the Building Inspector find out what such neighbouring municipalities as
Surrey and Maple Ridge ~ with the same type of problems the City has -
do with respect to this Building Code.
