Body
Administrative Recommendation
Administration supports the amendments as proposed in Bylaw 2013-17 to amend Land Use Bylaw 20-2009 as well as amendments to Fees & Charges Schedule E.5.
Background
Administration brought a discussion of the regulations for relocated buildings and structures to GPC for discussion and review. Currently the Land Use Bylaw states that a security deposit is required for all relocated buildings, in accordance with the adopted Fees & Charges Schedule E.5. The security deposits are $10,000.00 and $5,000.00 for single detached dwellings and single wide manufactured homes, respectively. A discussion of this matter and review of three adjacent municipalities' practices were presented at the GPC meeting of May 21, 2013. GPC instructed administration to bring forward amendments to the Land Use Bylaw and Fees & Charges Schedule E.5 to Council as follows:
1. Eliminating security requirements for relocated accessory buildings;
2. Reducing security for relocated and/or removal of single detached dwellings (stick built) or double wide manufactured homes from $10,000.00 to $5,000.00 in Fees & Charges Schedule E.5; and,
3. Reducing security for relocated and/or removal of single wide manufactured homes from $5,000.00 to $2,000.00 in Fees & Charges Schedule E.5.
Bylaw 2013-17 was brought to Council on May 28, 2013, and received first reading.
Alternatives
1. Council may table the Public Hearing and request more information.
2. Council may table second reading of Bylaw 2013-17 and changes to Fees & Charges Schedule E.5 and request Administration to provide additional information, research or policy improvements.
3. Council may defeat Bylaw 2013-17.
