                           ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT

                               Date:  November 26, 1996
                               File No.:  4516GRAN

 TO:       Vancouver City Council

 FROM:     The City Building Inspector

 SUBJECT:  Extension of Combined Development and Building Permit No.
           DB400772 (for construction) and Building Permit No. BU401158
           (for demolition) 4516 Granville Street (to be changed to 1488

           Connaught Drive)


 RECOMMENDATION

      THAT City Council approve an extension of Combined Development and
      Building Permit No. DB400772 and Building Permit No. BU401158 until
      May 22, 1997.

 GENERAL MANAGER'S COMMENTS

      The General Manager RECOMMENDS approval of the foregoing.

 COUNCIL POLICY

 Article 1.11.5.1 of the Building By-law prohibits the City Building
 Inspector from granting more than one extension to a Building Permit. Any
 further extensions can only be approved by City Council.



 DISCUSSION

 The above permits are for the demolition of the existing one family
 dwelling and the construction of a new one family dwelling and a detached
 garage having vehicular access from the lane.

 The permits were previously extended and expired on November 22, 1996,
 however, because the request for extension was submitted prior to expiry,
 I am prepared to process this request.
