   TO:       Vancouver City Council

   FROM:     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 November 28, 1997.

   GENERAL MANAGER'S COMMENTS

        The General Manager of Community Services 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 twice and expired on May 28, 1997,
   however, because the request for extension was submitted prior to
   expiry, I am prepared to process this request.

   It should be noted that there has been no change to the zoning for the
   property (RS-1).  The Planning Department has no objection to the
   extension.
