Brander's building permit had approved the construction of the dwelling on the east side of the lot and that the building, aiiiady underway, was going pp on the west side of the iot. McGee contended that his home would be less affected by the apartment buildings rise if it was built according to the building permit. • "The building still falls well within any building, bylaw we have," stated Councillor Ed. Gisbrecht He suggested Brander could purchase another building permit if that was deemed necessary by couficfl. Deputy-reeve,Dave'Gower asked that the matter be turned over to the fown's solicitor for a ruling. McGee's letter tocouncil had referred to a new Zoning bylaw presently being prepared by counil.
