Moved by Alderman Thompson:

Seconded by Alderman Keryluk:

That as requested by YSM Contracting Ltd., a burning permit to

clear land at a 24-lot subdivision North of the 1200 block Prairie and

Regina, be approved. Carried.
Aldermen Mabbett, Ranger, and Traboulay voted against the resolution.

Prior to the question being called on the foregoing resolution,
Alderman Traboulay inquired as to the reason for moving the motion when
the Subdivision of Land By-law states that there should be no more
piling of stumps and other debris in land-clearing and Alderman Thompson
stated he felt that the Council. was morally obligated to any developer
who had a subdivision almost completed and had made application for a
burning permit before passage of the amending by-law. The City Clerk
advised that the Subdivision of Land By-law deals with burning by referral

Council. Alderman Mabbett. stated his concern with respect to the smoke
nuisance if burning was started now and Alderman Ranger commented he did
not think any time of the vear was a good time tc burn.

flames which in turn set the barn on fire. Alderman Keryluk advised of
his intention to introduce the subject again under New Business later

this evening as he would like further information on how bad the water

pressure was in that area and if the people are safe in the case of a
