January 19th, 1976

Led. as outlined in the January 9th, 1976 memorandum from the City
Administrator, be dented.

Defeated.
Aldermen Traboulay and Ranger voted in favour of the resolution.

In speaking to the resolution, Alderman Ranger expressed opposition
to the issuance of permits for burning due to land clearing as it had
been his impression that the recent change in the Subdivision Bylaw was
to prohibit such burning and in turn encourage the use of 'smokeless'
burners, chippers, and/or hauling of stumps,etc. to land fill sites, and
the continued approval of such applications as that under consideration

defeats the purpose of the Bylaw changes. Mr. G. St. Germain, representing

Indian Wel.ls Development Ltd., addressed the Council with respect to his

application and in response to Alderman Thompson's question as to the
amount to be burned, he advised that there were several large trees and
stumps on the properties that were so large that it was not even possible
to get them on a truck and haul them away. Ue assured the Council that
every tree that can be left standing will be left. Mr. St. Germain
advised that at the time the company had purchased the lots, burning was
permitted by the By-law and since the by-law change he had investigated
every other possible means of disposal of the unwanted trees and stumps
and concluded that there was no alternative without adding an additional
$2,000.00 to the cost of each house which in most instances would put it
beyond the limits of an A.H.O.P. financed unit. Further discussion
ensued.

Moved by Alderman Laking:

Seconded by Alderman Keryluk:

That the application for a burning permit from Indian Wells Development
utd. dated December 23rd, 1975, be approved.
Carried.
Aldermen Ranger and Traboulay voted against the resolution.
Alderman Laking advised that he was compiling a report for Council
on the costs involved in ‘pit' burning, 'open' burning, hauling away,
and ‘chippers' as alternate methods to burning and information to date
would indicate the costa to be in the neighbourhood of a minimum $1,800.
