POLICY

Policies governing the Local Improvement Process are set out in the Vancouver Charter and the Local Improvement Procedure By-Law. The projects dealt with in this report have gone through the legal requirements in the process, but Council has requested additional information on project support/opposition through the reballot before giving final approval.

PURPOSE

At the June 20, 2000, Court of Revision, Council instructed staff to reballot this local improvement petition project. The results are as follows:

Court 596, Item 23

Lane Pavement on the lane east of Marguerite Street from 47th Avenue to the lane north of 49th Avenue and the lane north of 49th Avenue from the lane east of Marguerite Street to Adera Street excluding Lot B of 4 of 8 Block 3 DL 526

Number of owners	14
Required 2/3 majority	10
	Ballot results:
	In Favour	7
	Opposed	3
	Total responses	10

The remaining four owners did not return their ballots. They could not be contacted by phone so attempts were made to contact them by letter on four separate occasions without success. However, three of these owners signed the original petition.

Based on the ballot results, and that three owners signed the original petition form, there is sufficient support for this project to proceed.

Recommendation: Project be approved
