S. Rauh,
Acting City Clerk

Board of Variance Bylaw, 1982, No. 1919

Recommendations

That the Clerk's Office be instructed to amend the Board of Variance
Bylaw, 1982, No. 1919, by making the following changes.

1. Section 2(a), Schedule "A" (Notice of Appeal) be repealed and Schedule
"a" attached to this memorandum be substituted.

>, Section 2(b) be amended by deleting the words “within seven days
following the day of the decision or order being appealed”.

3. Section, 2(c) be amended by deleting the words “within seven days of the
receipt of the document”.

4, That Seetion 5 of the Bylaw be repealed.

. Background and Comments:

Schedule "A" of the Bylaw has been slightly altered to clarify homeowner
information as well as asking for more detailed information on the sketch plan
that accompanies the application. The other three amendments are strictly
housekeeping changes to keep the bylaw up-to-date with current practices of

the Board of Variance.

Sections 2(b) and 2(e) are being amended so. that applications will all be
processed at the same time. It is often the case that an application comes in
a month before the next scheduled meeting and yet another will be submitted

only eight days before the meeting.

Section 5 is being deleted as all applicants are notified within seven
days in writing; however, Board orders are not signed by the members until the

next scheduled meeting.

Also attached, for your information, 4g a new handout that will accompany |
‘the Board of Variance application. It is a general guide to the Board of
Variance process; hopefully, this guide will help people better understand how
the Board of Variance functions within the City.
