Building Bylaws: Building and West Vancouver

building bylaws: Last week, the District of West Vancouver filed a petition asking the B.C. Supreme Court to force him and Raven Garrow to demolish the home, located at 733 20th Street, within 60 days, according to CTV. Legal documents claim the homeowners violated zoning and building bylaws by demolishing the existing structure without permission and building a new home that didn't match plans approved by district officials. The city may say whatever they choose to say, but all of the professionals have provided their assurance that construction was carried out according to plan and according to these building codes, a defensive Philip Garrow told CTV News Thursday. Municipal regulations require homes to have a setback of at least 7.6 metres for the front yard and 9.1 metres for the rear yard. The municipality however, said the new home encroaches even further into the required setbacks than the old one. The existing home did not meet these requirements, but was exempt because it was built before the current bylaw was enacted. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
