ITEM I / A
Re: Local Improvement By-law : .

As a result of the March 15th, 1976 Council Meeting,
the Public Works Committee has considered several aspects of
this By-law and reports and recommends as follows:

1. A review has been carried out of all the proposed
Local Improvement Projects waiting for Council approval. None
of these proposed projects involve irreqular lots that would
require frontage adjustments (such as was the case for the
Handley Crescent Local Improvement Project). Because of this
and because of the fact that the lots in each block of each
proposed project are virtually the same, it is felt that the
format of the present By-law is satisfactory and fair and that
the problems experienced with irregular and adjusted frontages
on Handley Crescent should not reoccur. Therefore, except as
outlined below, the Committee recommends no change to the
present By-law. ‘The Committee understands that the City
Administrator agrees with this recomméndation. €(CSee tr Ppllock' ceyert

2. The Committee would like to draw Councils'
attention to a portion of the June 20th, 1974 report to
Council from the Public Works Committee which was adopted
and resulted in the present By-law. It is felt that the
basic philosphy adopted two years ago still is valid but that
the costs should be updated. In setting out the basis for
the "Advanced" rates, the comments in the June 20th, 1974
Report at the bottom of page 4 and the bottom of page 5 are
of interest. The Committee recommends that no change be
considered for Arterial or Collector Streets at this time
but that the rates for Local Normal and Local Advanced Streets
be amended as follows: ;
