Building Permit Compliance and Process Review

"Discussion covered two properties. For 331, Council expressed dismay that a non-conforming garage was not removed years ago during new construction, citing a 'lost in translation' expectation. For 315, discussion focused on the perpetual nature of construction (multiple permit renewals) and the accompanying debris/junk that neighbors consider an unsightly premise, despite conditional occupancy being granted. Two motions resulted: one to check the unsightly premises bylaw and one to review the overall permit processes."
