Attention: Mr. R. A. Freeman November 21, 1975.

Dear Sir:

Re: Amendment to Building Moving By-law

. Pursuant to your instructions, i have perused the
above noted By-law; the draft By-law to amend it; Section
719A of the Municipal Act; Order in Council No. 1765(B. C.
Reg. 140/73) and Order in Council No. 3574 (B. C. Reg. |
396/73) .°

In my opinion the proposed amendment attempts
to do indirectly what the Municipality cannot do directly.
That is, the Municipality seeks to impose the National
Building Code upon mobile homes and factory built housing.

You have advised me that the Council wants to
permit factory built residential buildings to be brought
into the City but not mobile homes. To my mind, it would
be quite simple to prohibit both of them under the au-
thority of Section 714(g) of the Municipal Act, however,
this does not meet the requirements of your Council. I
would suggest that your proposed Section 2A be amended to.
read as follows:

"(2A) Sub-section 2 of this section shall
not apply to new factory-built housing certified
by Canadian Standards Association as complying
with Canadian Standards Association, Standard
#277 which is to be erected on a site in com~
pliance with the By-laws of the City."

Yours truly,

THOMPSON & MCCONNELL
