ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT

                                                   Date:  December 12, 1996
                                                          File No:  1076W51

 TO:       Vancouver City Council

 FROM:     The City Building Inspector

 SUBJECT:  Extension of Combined Development and Building Permit Nos.
           DB401168 (for construction) and DB401169 (for demolition) - 1076
           West 51st Avenue (to be changed to 1088 West 51st Avenue)

 RECOMMENDATION


      THAT City Council approve an extension of Combined Development and
      Building Permit Nos. DB401168 and DB401169 until May 28, 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 28, 1996,
 however, because the request for extension was submitted prior to expiry,
 I am prepared to process this request.
