BUILDING AND DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE REPORT NO, 109
Reeve Buck presented a report of the Building and Development Committee in
which the Committee respectfully submitted the following:
A meeting of the Building and Development Committee was held on October 6,
1969 at 7:00 P.M.
Reeve Buck, Councillors Miller and ~arris in attendance.
An emergency meeting was called in order to submit a report to Council at the
present Council meeting.
The Committee inquiries have revealed that if the Zoning By-Law is passed in
its present form this Council will have no authority to withhold building
permits for apartments, subject to an Agreement being signed. The Zoning
By•Law sets out specific areas for multiple family residential development,
it sets out conditions which must be met by developers and when these conditions
are met there is no way a permit can be withheld. In view of this Council's
expressed wishes to have control economic and aesthetic as well as physical
of apartment development in the same manner we control Subdivision Development,
the Committee respectfully recommends to Council that an amendment to the
Zoning By-Law be prepared to eliminate all multiple family residential zoning
and replace it with' a holding designation.

Harris: dated October 6, 1969 be accepted."
