The Committee made reference to idr. Little's letter and instructed the Secretary to include the relevant information in these minutes as follows: "Our interpretation of the By -Law is that Section 3.8 provides that no buildings or structures shall be erected within 100 ft. of any ground depression that may carry water and which depression might be called a river, stream, water course, or creek. In other words, we do not feel that the By -Latta makes a distinction between a stream and a water course or between a river and a water course. Our interpretation of this erection 3.8 provides for no building within 100 ft. and, in addition, if the flood plain oL the stream or river or water course or creek extends more than 100 ft. from the stream or river or water course or creek then build- ing is also prohibited in that part o_ the flood plain beyond the 100 ft. measurement. In relation to the Boldins property, there is not sufficient land for building outside of the 100 ft measurement taken from the river (or .dater course) shown on the sketch. If your Committee has an applicLtiori concerning these lands, we would recommend that the Conservation .'authority be consulted and any variance to thr, provisions of Section 3.8 be allowed only with the consent and approval of the Conservation :authority." (sgnd) "Derek J.W.Litt] P:Eng. Upon perusal of the correspondence, rlr. Lycett, reauested that this aplication be adjourned.
