City Administrator

RE: Building By-law

Council will recall that due to some of past amendments to the Municipal Act
municipalities were required to pass a building by-law based on the National
Building Code and a model by-law produced by the Province. We have therefore
prepared the following by-laws for Council's consideration, the first being
the revised building by-law which conforms with the Provincial standards and
in addition a house moving by-law which was originally part of our building
by-law and which now must be covered by a separate by-law.

The new building by-law contains a charge of $150.00 per suite or dwelling

unit for parks acquisition fund. Previously this was $50.00 per unit. The
building permit fees were revised last year and we have therefore not made

any further revisions for 1974.

The by~laws are available for first three readings.

As you ate aware we got clarification from the Provincial Government on
Building By~law changes. It was specifically pointed out that at the
present time the National Building Code and the B. C. Plumbing Code are
By-laws in B. C., amendment procedures are also clarified.

Our proposed by-law for adoption follows the format as suggested by the
Provincial Government with minor revisions. Also included is a House

Moving By-law which now becomes a separate entity. Discussions on the
Building by-law and the House moving by-law were discussed at length by
the 1973 Building and Protection Committee headed by Alderman Thompson.

It therefore follows very closely to what was considered for requirements
that could be legaily adopted.
