COMMENTS:

1. This Development Variance Permit is being proposed to be
issued for legalizing a building deficiency to alleviate injury
to a third party. Under normal circumstances, a builder Is
required to correct a deficiency. before carrying on work.to ‘the
next stage. Unfortunately, in this case the builder not only
carried on work, but also sold this home before recelving a
final inspection. It is the City Bullding Inspection
Departmentts withholding the final inspection approval unti}!
corrections are made that is causing the new home owner
difficulty.

2. It Is recommended that normal procedures to requiring the
builder to make corrections be walved. It is proposed, that
City Counct! issue a Development Varlance Permit to allow the
bullder to [Install an alternative system to provide a level of
safety for the driveway. The administration are not
recommending, that normal bylaw requirements be walved because
of the precedent this will set subsequent request. It should
be noted the bufider In question has two more houses where the.
