Councillor Helen Owen, speaking on behalf of LACAC, said bee use the encroachment appeared to extencl out onto the road allowance, they found, it "unacceptable". "This application is not to restore (the building)", added Councillor Owen.

Rockcliffe is trying to make their entire district, consisting of 750 homes, a Heritage District. Rockcliffe is known as Canada's premier residential neighborhood. After hearing from Reeve Johpston of some of the problems Bayfield encountered when they first tackled the idea of having a Heritage District, Mr. Gitterman said, "I now know it is more difficult than we thought." Council Briefs Permission was granted to Mr. J. Howe to enlarge his present shed. Mary Rochon's application for possible sheeting and structural changes that may be required when -the roof of her residence is re -shingled was approved by council. Mrs. Rochon is hoping for a government grant to fund 50 per cent of the cost and up to $2,000 for the re -shingling. She is estimating the work to cost $6,000 and is therefore asking for $2,000. Once again, Reeve Johnston said the application verbally qualifies with the ministry. The wooden shingles will come from the Ottawa Valley. A motion was made to approve the application by Ian Turner to raise his cottage, put up a foundation and replace a porch.
