Those are just a few of thre comilien ts miade during a public meeting on tihe dr-aft rnnîiuiri plroperty standards by-law* last \week. ")'lie draft wvas persetnted Io tire publie by tire towvn's solicitor Hughi Nichiol w~ho liras made several revisions in iii order To acconiodate rate- payer input. The by-law sets down standards for the miainte- nance and occtipancy of pro- perty Mithin tie town. ht proliibîts the occupancy or use of property whichi does riot conformi to tire standards. The by-lavv requires that sub-standard property be repaired and inaintained to conforn to the standards. A property standards officer is given tire autlrority to enter and inspect any pro- perty not used as a dwelling. In the case of a dweiling, entrance carl only be made with the occupapt's consent or with a search warrant. If the officer feels that thie property is below the stand- ards, he wilI notify the ovvner of tire pariculars of the non- con fority. The officer wilI provide tire owner withi a list of the repairs To be made or a sta te- nient that the site is to be .cleared. If the owner fails to repair or clear the property, the town will do it at the owner's expense. Contravention of an order is punisliable by fine. Persons sewed with an order may appeal to a pro- perty standards committee, the members of which are appointed by town counicil. If thre inspecting officer finds the property in corn- pliance with the by-law'he may, or on the request of the owner shall, issue a cert- ificate of compliance.' If a certificate is issued at the owner's expense, a fee will be charged.
