TO:

Chief Building Official

SUBJECT:

Extension of Development and Building Permit No. DB412167

RECOMMENDATION

THAT City Council approve an extension of Development and Building Permit No. DB412167 for 3749 West 30^th Avenue until September 6, 2003.

GENERAL MANAGER'S COMMENTS

The General Manager of Community Services RECOMMENDS approval of the foregoing.

COUNCIL POLICY

Article 1A.7.5.1 of the Building By-law addresses actions the City can take when an applicant, who has received a Building Permit, is not proceeding with active work under the permit. The Building By-law prohibits the Chief Building Official from granting more than one extension to a Building Permit. Any further extensions can only be approved by Council.

PURPOSE

The purpose of this report is to request Council's approval for an extension of a permit for alterations and additions to a building at 3749 West 30^th Avenue.

DISCUSSION

Development and Building Permit No. DB412167 was issued on September 6, 2001 for the existing one family dwelling at 3749 West 30^th Avenue. This permit allows interior and exterior alterations including the addition of a second floor, an addition at the rear, a deck at the rear and a new porch at the front. As work had not commenced, the applicant applied for an extension in September of 2002 and it was approved by the Deputy Chief Building Official.

A recent inspection indicates that work has still not commenced.

There has been no change to the zoning for the property (RS-5 - One Family Dwelling District). The Planning Department has no objection to this extension.
